Ok ... lets get this straight.\r
I love Mexican food. Authentic Mexican food. I expected El Taurino to be just that. \r
VERY WRONG.\r
First bad sign: My friend gets a burrito and they won't give him tap water. They try to make him buy bottled. Not only is this stingy, I'm pretty sure its illegal in the state of California. He ends up with no drink. They REFUSE to give him tap.\r
Next. I order nacho's. At the least I'm thinking some good chips, cheese, cilantro, onions. Bare bones stuff right?\r
WRONG\r
Chips out of a bag. Cheese squirted out of a can. Bits of charred meat. They reminded me of Dodger stadium nachos except they were COLDER at El Taurino. Worst nachos I have ever had. EVER. No vegetables, nothing whatsoever. My friend once dropped nachos on the floor at Dodger stadium and ate them....I bet it was better then the ones here.\r
The salsa is bland. Its spicy but has no flavor whatsoever. \r
If you neeeed 2:00 am food.. fine. But hey...Chano's is open on 30th and Figueroa till 2:00...sometimes 3:00. It is ten times better then this place. \r
The servers were rude to top it off.\r
In an area FULL of great Mexican food, El Taurino shouldn't even be on your radar.\r

(I signed up a Citysearch account just to make this review....that how bad this place is)
Pros: Open late
Cons: Everything else
