Love, Love Love El Toro on Blosser and Main. Food is Amazing, we visit Santa Maria often and before we head back, we make sure to grab El Toro before we leave for the long drive home. Rice, beans, Tamales, Asada, tortillas and Chicharons are Amazing and our favorites.
I love this place — the food is amazing, and the tamales are my absolute favorite! The only thing is they always sell out of tamales super early, usually before 10 AM. I wish they could prepare more in the mornings so everyone gets a chance to enjoy them!
Best Mexican food in California. Everytime I am back in Santa Maria this place demands a mandatory stop. Their rice and beans are delicious and hands down the best carnitas I’ve had out of my own kitchen.
