El Toro (Valencia & 17th)

Name of Taqueria - 598 Valencia St
Visited: 11/3/09

Ordered: Super Vegetarian Burrito
Cost: 6ish?

Overall Description: I've been here before and was satisfied, but it was before my official rating system went into place. It was pretty much what I remembered - tasty, filling, but not outstanding in any way.

Composition: (out of 5) 3.5 - They didn't do anything wrong - except that I asked for no lettuce and they gave me lettuce. So minus a point for that. Otherwise, pretty good - right amount of cheese, rolled well, etc.

Ingredients: (out of 5) 4 - No complaints here - I had the black beans and there was plenty of flavor. I would have preferred straight-up avocado to the guacamole, but it wasn't too drippy or mushy.

Size: (out of 3) 2 - It looked plenty big - but I did finish it off.

Taste: (out of 10) 6.5 - Again, nothing outstanding, but fulfilling and tasty. A little shy of a 7 b/c of the lettuce/guacamole, but other then that it was satisfying.

Value: (out of 5) 4 - Would go here again, no problem.

Total Score: (out of 28) 20 - Solid entry - El Toro, you have earned my respect.

Additional Comments: The salsa were mislabeled, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. The interior of here is really lacking to many of the other places in the neighborhood - feels a bit plastic and there's not much decoration. So there's definitely better places to get that "Mission Burrito-y" feel.
