Tortillas Authentico

Authentic Corn Tortillas

Our tortillas tell the story of Toro Loco as both a restaurant and a philosophy. We opt for a process with a full-bodied, delicious result, even if it means tripling our prep efforts. Even the simplest of culinary elements – our tortillas – represent a significant emotional and physical investment for our team.
