The food was ok, when paying they applied a "service fee" of 18% on the total of the dinner and I told them that I would leave the tip in cash, they told me that it couldn't be done because it was a fee that had to be paid no matter what. by orders of the owner, and that they applied that fee from 5 people but there were 4 of us. And they do it because they normally never leave a tip.+++I don't usually give bad reviews but it was truly a very unpleasant moment and you're right, Maggie, I know what a "bad review" can generate. I'm not lying, I'm just based on what happened.By having a business I know how important it is to take care of customers and no one was forced to leave "fee service" because that does not exist based on who knows what...

Combination grocery store and informal restaurant. Staff and food are top shelf! Stop in for some tacos or a big tasty torta, then grab some fresh chorizo to take home.

hands on your knees Angelina Jolie. jesus is a biscuit let him sop you up. this quesadilla had me screaming for the father son and holy ghost. DELICIOUS. FANTASTIC. PHENOMENAL. the cheese to filling ratio was perfect. whoever caramelized those onions has magical powers cause it had me hooting and hollering. my mouth is watering, leaking like a waterfall as I think about this quesadilla. I can't wait until I can enjoy her once more

Great street tacos in a low key strip mall in Manchester. The Al pastor and carnitas tacos are outstanding. Great service. Atmosphere is back-of-the-carniceria.

I always come here when I need Mexican ingredients but never leave without ordering tacos and/or a torta (the sandwich is huge!). The food is authentic as it gets. There is seating inside but I'm always out and about so I get it to go. The owner is always there and she's always so friendly and helpful!

Maybe this is a small place but it is fabulous for food. I just took a chance that it'd be good having seen it previously, well the sign that is. It was worth it to me Thank you for the great food and service.

Great authentic Mexican food restaurant tucked inside of a convenient Mexican grocery store right in the middle of Manchester! They have some of the best tacos and Tortas you will find in the St. Louis area. Order food from the counter if you'd like takeout. Ask to be seated for table service. Service is prompt, friendly and basic. Here's what i ordered. - Chips and Salsa: (4/5) Homemade, in-house. these aren't your typical thin chips since they are basically cutting up some tortillas and cooking them fresh. A decent red and green sauce is served with them. - Al Pastor Taco: (4.25/5) GET THIS! One of the best Al pastor tacos I have found in town. - Carne Asada: (3.75/5) Decent and fresh. I have a preference for steak with stronger marinade and seasonings. I will be back!

This place is amazing. I was shopping nearby and wanted to find a place to grab lunch and found this right around the corner. Lots of the reviews were raving about the tacos al pastor so I had to give them a try. SO GOOD!!! I was blown away by how delicious they were! The meat was perfectly cooked and it had the perfect amount of pineapple. A few weeks later, I visited my in-laws in Texas and they were raving about this taco al pastor spot they lived near. Based on my experience at El Toluco I was super excited to try another spot. They were good, but did not come close to El Toluco. This just tells me all I need to know about this spot. They can do a 10x better job than a taco spot in Texas. Can't wait to come back and bring my in-laws!!

The people are super friendly. The tortas I would recommend! They also sell manteca - which were we're from was hard to find, so that's a plus! Their chips are amazing and are great for chilaquiles. They also sell the bread for the tortas too! Service was great. Only gripe that I would have is the day we decided to eat in, the waitress did not inform us of the specials (we were unaware there were any), we overheard her telling another patron - and it sounded good, but we already ordered.

It's #tacotuesday so let's #tacoaboutit #stlouispescatarianapproved @stlouispescatarians on instagram This cute taqueria is serving up authentic Mexican favorites including tacos For the record... my lime squeeze is better than the Taco King's Lime Squeeze! Their story "On August 1, 2016, with only $500 in our pockets and a dream in our hearts, Fausto Pizzaro and I were finally able to open El Toluco Taqueria & Grocery." We had such a great lunch! There were 7 of us.

Tried the steak torta. The size is off the charts, and full of flavor.

Seems alittle dodgy when you first walk in, the staff is friendly but the food has been hit or miss in my exp. But I will say when it hits, boy does it hit! Some of the best lengua tacos I’ve had outside of Texas. Solid spot if your feeling adventurous.
