Torito Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings

I was hesitant to try the place for a long time as the reviews were kind of mixed. Plus I was not sure if they have good vegetarian options. One of our friends took us here and wow, we were impressed. Since then we have dined in here a few times. Food is consistently good. At times I get into trouble requesting them to take off any meat options from my order like refried beans but mostly it's fine. Their loaded nachos is better than what most other places offer. Vegetarian chimichangas are delicious. My friends love their meat options too. Service is always good.

I've been here twice, both experiences were great. Complimentary salsa & beans to start with chips (who doesn't love that) Margaritas are great, and portions are huge not only for drinks but for food as well. You're guaranteed leftovers with any meal you get. The first time i had tacos, my second visit i had "arroz con pollo" both were great. Servers are always friendly and check in frequently but not over bearing. I recommend Toritos.

Another one of our lunch place picks when I'm at work. I've tried multiple salads, soup and a quesadilla. I had a salad that was a little limp but I'll chalk that up to a bad day on their part. The other times I've picked up food it's been great. My coworkers have also gotten salads and the beef or beef & shrimp fajitas. Overall a good place to grab a Mexican bite. The restaurant itself is colorful and authentically Mexican. The staff has always been friendly and the food has always been ready and waiting for pickup.

I've been to Torito numerous times and never had a bad meal or experience! Our waitress last night was super friendly and accommodating. I love how Torito gives refried beans and salsa with your chips to start. Not sure if I've seen that anywhere else! Once we put in our orders our food arrived promptly. I ordered a Ground Beef Quesadilla and my sister ordered the steak fajitas. The portion sizes are big so come hungry. All the food we had was tasty and hot. As someone who grew up in a Mexican household, I'd say the food is authentic except for some dishes (of course). So don't be shy stop by Torito!

We have dined for lunch at Torito Mexican a handful of times. Since they opened their North Haven location, it's been our go-to to satisfy our Mexican food craving. The menu is very large with many options broken down from beef, chicken, seafood, vegetarian, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, house specialties and so much more. If you know you will be visiting Torito, plan ahead and view their menu online. A few of my favorites is the Veggie Platter (cheese enchilada, a spinach enchilada and a chile relleno), Chimichanga Shrimp and Taco Gobernador which are tasty shrimp tacos. Every plate is a hefty serving and most dishes come with beans, rice and pico de gallo. Try to save room for dessert because their Churros are a delight with cinnamon, sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce. One difference that Torito had always stood out from any other Mexican restaurant was that they serve bean dip along with the table chip and salsa. I love dipping the chips in the bean dip. Once our server gave us a complimentary Ceviche--it was a lucky day. We typically visit on the weekends for a late lunch (to miss the lunch rush). They always seemed to be well staffed. There are plenty of tables and booths with the bar being in the center of the restaurant. There is fun uplighting, festive decor and music. They are a small chain restaurant, but it sure doesn't feel like one. Overall, we enjoy Torito Mexican as most experiences have been great and continue try more.
