Toritos Mexican
The other night after much wrangling about which Mexican restaurant to go to we ended up just down the street at Toritos Mexican Restaurant at Market City. I’ve been here a few times before, but not since I started this blog.
I’ve always had at least good food here if 
nothing too memorable. It was much the same this time. I decided to branch out and try something new: chicken
mole (about $10). It was good, but a bit oily. A puddle was on the right side of the plate. The menu says it’s two piece of chicken, but it came with three. The beans on the side were delicious. They were somewhere between whole and refried. They had to have lard in them to be that good. The tortillas were warm and nice. The rice was, well, rice.
Alan had two enchiladas which he enjoyed. Pictured above is JP’s steaming fajitas plate(about $17). Howard liked his spicy caesar salad (about $10). Andrew enjoyed his two tacos al pastor, which is slow cooked pork. The strawberry margaritas were preferred over the mango. The mango didn’t have a lot of mango flavor. The chips weren’t my favorite as they were too thick.
The service was very good and the prices reasonable.
