Mexican Food in NC-Toreros

Chip and salsa

Yesterday Adym was craving Mexican food so we decided to give Torero's a try. The restaurant looks a lot bigger on the inside, and the ambiance made me feel like we were in a TexMex Restaurant in Texas.










Chip and salsa

The first thing we received was our salsa and dip. The baked chips were a little different than I am used to. It was good. The salsa tasted like a store brand that was spiced up a few notches with fresh herbs and tomatoes.



Restaurant Outdoor Arena


As we wait for our food, I look out the window and take a snapshot of their outdoor Arena. They offer live music on the weekends. In fact, our waiter informs us that there will be a live band on Friday night.




Margarita with a shot of sangria


We both ordered Margarita with a shot of sangria.It was very good! Definitely order this drink when here!









Carne Asada

Adym ordered Carne Asada. It was really good! Very juicy and tender. Once again, I wish I had ordered what he did. LOL!

Beef fajitas

Sides for Beef fajitas












I always order beef fajitas when trying a TexMex place (or should I say NCMex) for the first time. I liked the presentation and that sour cream came with the sides. However, the beef was really salty and had a taste of shrimp paste. I also would have liked to see the onions a little more carmelized. I have had fajitas everywhere. I have been to Mexico several times so I know what real fajitas taste like. Although it looked good, the taste was not pleasant. I do not recommend this dish.

Overall, I might come back to try other things on the menu. The service was very friendly and helpful. With large serving sizes and reasonable prices, we got a bang for the buck. Grand total is a 3.5 out of 5.
