As far as selection and quality of meats/produce 5 stars, as far as customer service not so much. Several of the employees were pretty rude letting other customers go first and giving me dirty looks. Even one of the customers pointed it out and told them that was wrong. Just because Im white doesnt mean I should be treated differently in any aspect.
For some of the best authentic Mexican food and groceries for a fair price its a must try 😉👍
Great place to shop. The culture alone is worth the experience!
They made it clear to me that non-hispanics are not welcome
My family always comes here for the meat and the workers used to be very friendly and happy but lately they have been all very serious and rude. I went in yesterday and waited in line to get meat and the one guy working over the counter ignored us and kept helping the people behind us I waited with my daughter and hoped he would acknowledge us but nope he kept attending to the other people coming in after us. we waited about 10min until one of the other guy workers that was cutting up meat saw we had been waiting and came to us and helped us out. he was a gentleman not like the other one completely ignoring us Not cool :( We miss the happy friendly workers.
Very poor customer service, I had issue with a grocery soo I called the store, they told me to go talk a mager, I went to the store to talk to a manager they said you need to wait manager is out for lunch, soo I wait for about 20 minutes finally she get back I explained my situation and this person MANAGER had no access nothing she was not able to resolve my issues, that is horrible experience, made a purchase of $ 43.79 I have no receipt because I didnt get one, but I was able to proof my purchase by calling my bank,
This place has good meat to cook. Nice and fresh. They also have some bomb food made on the weekends with good prices too.
Great customer service, really nice prices and good quality food.
Best chorizo from Prosser we always stop on our way home from Lincoln City
They have great prices on their meat their al pastor meat is great. They habe friendly helpful staff
The meat i bought there was really good
Really the tacos they prepare are unique and very delicious
Quick service and there chicken with rice, tortillas and beans are delicious!
Love this market! The chicken fajita mix is wonderful. Very friendly service
They are always so helpful and have great prices!
Let me tell you guys that if you really want a good produce and meat selection. Then this is a high top location for that. You can also get a lot of groceries here for cheap and stop by in the spring and summer when they are cooking chicken outside. One of the best chicken recipes you will find on a grill.
Nice place have everything need and people so funny I like that
Theyre always nice to me, and have fresh meat 🍖 plus more good things!
Love the ladys homemade melon water or mexican water as she called it
Me and my Chuukese girlfriend stopped in while out walking the neighborhood in the cool of the Evening, when found El Torito... Great food, Great meat, and Queso... Prices are level and the Tortillas!!! We will be back.. Thank you.Joseph
Refused to acknowledge that I was there and purposefully slowed down. While helping a customer,they said that they were going to slow down because there were white people behind them and the customer said that was fine. Little did they know that I understand Spanish
Stopped in here for the first time on a recommend. Glad I stopped their chicken outside is awesome. I didnt realize at the time they got home made tortillas to so next time I go thats what Im getting ! I will be going back
Best meat market in town hands down no one can touch the pollo marinado
The taco cart outside is definitely Among the best tacos Ive ever had. Tortillas are hand made to perfection. There are two taco stands but The taco stand that I like is only there Friday & Saturday. 5-10pm!
Went to El Torito on Monday and had a horrible experience. When i walked in the door i was hit by a very strong pungent smell that was horrible it smelled like rotting food very unclean smell. Needless to say i will not be back again. My 6 yr old was holding his nose and said the smell gave him a headache. I know the health department would not approve of the either. Bad, Bad, Bad.
Its an all in one! You can purchase prepared food, which is AMAZING GOOD! They have a wide variety of different meats to choose from. Freshly made tortillas. Fresh produce & packaged goods. Ive been purchasing pollo asados for many year- they are the best in town!
It was fun
For this place being a small business.....it draws alot of customers. The best for type of Mexican dishes. If you dont know what meats to buy just tell them what you are making and they will make sure what you need.
Good place to buy meat for bbq and of course they almost have everything you need!
One of the best places to shop in Salem. A market with great quality of meat and produce not to mention a friendly welcoming environment? Count me in!
Disappointed to know they serve select meat and not choice meats.Customer service from the butcher is great, they know exactly what cut I was describing. Known as picana in Brazil they pointed me in the right direction.
Best butcher in Salem, and the fresh tortillas are so good you could eat them by themselves. Fantastic selection and everybody is happy to help you in Español and English too. We shop here a lot.
Im a gringo who visits Salem. All the basic ingredients for me to cook Mexican for my friends. The kitchen in back will cook street tacos with a condiment bar and a small table area in the store. Sunday lots of families will be buying all the stuff for tacos at home. Sat and Sun?? they grill Pollos outside to be done around 4. Yum
It a good market. It has many things and the price is better than other places. It doesnt have all latin products, but you can find some of them. If you look for Peruvian products; you wont find anything. They have the harina P.A.N for arepas and good soft cheese.
Best meat market in Salem! Has fresh meat, produce, and cheese! I bought some aguachile, and some fish ceviche ! In love love with this market.
Amazing pollo asado on Sundays. Worth driving from Portland to Salem just for the chicken! Theyre always super nice despite me being a gringo who speaks virtually no Spanish. Great place to stock up on Mexican supplies too.
Great meat market here, and delicious guac. Inexpensive al pastor which is delicious! Home made tortillas as well. This place is often very busy, so try to shoot for the less busy times because the checkout line can take forever!
Wonderful people, wonderful prices, very clean and packed with nonmeat items like nice fresh fruit and vegetables, and can goods you wont find most places! Well worth a trip to explore all the fun foods and meats!
Great service, great food. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves real Mexican food and other Mexican products.
Funny workers also they have really good meat.
Nice place with great service from everyone. Lovely people.
Great food. I had lunch and got some amazing guacamole to go.
We went to buy pollo asado and the man had a chicken on the side pre cut and it seem like it was there for a while because when i got them one was cold. I dont appreciate that because i payed $16.99 for cold chicken.
I like to shop at el torro market because the meat is fresh
This market has excellent food and service. Everything I have purchased and cooked prepared by El Torito has been outstanding!!
Could be cleaner, however it is very small so I understand
Good meat good mexican beer rare azteca beer
Tacos are amazing!! Best tacos in Salem, hands down!
Great place to buy Hispanic food great service
Employees are always very nice and the owners will shake your hand if they see you and welcome you in to their store.
Dont listen to Kyle Shinn, hes wrote 3 reviews, each being 1 out of 5 stars. El Torito is a great place with amazing food!
El Torito Meat Market is smaller; but it is my favorite, because there I finding everything that I looked for special products that on other markets, I dont find.
Love the friendly service and the great food and prices!
Nice place, very busy ..nice carnerceria
Great quick service, and plenty of Latin Products!

Amazing meat! Great selection!
Best Mexican meat market
Great product selection!
Very racist towards white people, makes me never want to go back. I would never treat someone of Hispanic ethnicity like that. If you are white i would stay away!
Great place to shop
Charbroiled Chicken is amazing!
My favorite butcher
Very good
Great chicken
Love this place!!
Best tacos!
A clean place and very good chicken meat and pork meat very cheap all
Hot food does not serve this sour and I bought milk yesterday and it went bad that they no longer have the quality of before.
It is a good place to buy food they give good service
Excellent, the people are very friendly and the prices I found were very good, the tacos not to mention. This is a good place to shop
Very well
Terrible service in the butcher shop there are many employees and no one attends to you and then the music so loud that they have it that one has to be shouting to ask because they do not even listen I feel annoyed 😡😡
The best of salem and the tacos are luxury
Very well you find everything.But yes: on weekends parking is a nightmare.You enter heaven easier than your parking lot and to get out, it is easier to get out of hell.
You find everything at a good price
The best place to find the best meats in salem
Bad service because you ask for 2 pounds or 3 pounds of any type of meat and all the time they give you 1/2 pound more or 3/4 others so they will never give you what you ask forI understand that they want to sell but not try to sell you more than you dont ask for
The chicken was burnt and bitterWe lost lunch from our work, we didnt dare, we called to complain and they hung up on us 😡😡
The torito ingests a terrible ase 4 hours I was there and the truth really stinks awful that if at that time it comes to health they close it went with my child and also yano endured the holor as if I had already decomposed meat and that is in all the store
Bad service so you have bathrooms if you are not going to let them use them or for children. only x that had already been cleaned dec28 9:45 pm
Very good prices and excellent service
It is for the whistle tofo the last peeled fish and the chicken has no flavor nor the tortillas that they give there with the chicken are raw t and the cashiers want to charge others ... No o No pa la rverga
Excellent customer service, friendly atmosphere very good prices tasty chickens, excellent taqueria, everything excellent
Dont buy here! Today I went to buy 2lbs of deismillo meat, and they gave me little meat and a lot of fat in the meat. They are good to charge you per pound, but they give you more fat than anything and they gave me almost no meat.They wanted me to pay $ 10 worth of meat when I actually only had half a pound of meat.
Best Mexican Store in Salem Oregon
Terrible service lasts 20 min waiting for me to be treated also it smells very strong of chlorine
There are many people for these times
Everything is great
Good service and a lot of variety.
Good place to buy a little of everything.
Good place to buy meats and cheeses
Hmm more or less
