Forest Hill's kitchen is always on
Taqueria El Toro is from-scratch Mexican cooking in Forest Hill, Texas. No shortcuts.
Made from scratch, every morning
Every tortilla is pressed by hand on the comal. Every salsa is stone-ground. Every broth simmers until it's right.
Menudo and posole on weekends
We serve the dishes most restaurants skip — slow-cooked, traditional, the kind you'd only find at someone's abuela's house.

Excellent, family-friendly venue — spacious and cozy, clean and well organized. The waiters served our large party quickly, food was amazing, and the conchas from the bakery were the perfect final touch. Will definitely be back!

Stopped here on a whim and found fantastic food! As a chile relleno lover, the cheese relleno was the best I've had — and I grew up in El Paso. Great staff, chef, and atmosphere. I will be back with my whole family.

Loved the feeling as I walked in — staff were welcoming and polite. The food was so delicious I could eat here every day! I ordered the sope plate, carne asada tacos, and chips and salsa. Prices are very fair.
