With my sister in town fron LA for the weekend, it was back to my parents house on the West side for today's taco excursion. On the bustling thoroughfare that is West Portal, El Toreador has been a staple of San Francisco dining since my parents were in high school. Opening its doors during the days when Mexican cuisine was nearly unheard of in Northern California, El Toreador has been boldly serving up delicious tacos, burritos, and enchiladas to a greatful San Francisco population. With mom, dad, and sister along for todays taco feast, it was a family affair as we made the short drive to "The Portal." Once we were seated and provided with copious amounts of chips and salsa, the decision to order the chile verde was a quick and easy one. A spectacular platter loaded with spicy chunks of pork, cheezy beans, rice, lettuce, and fresh tortillas was quickly delivered to the table. My mouth began to water as I assembeled what would be the first of three tasty tacos I would eat this evening. The pork was tender, the beans were creamy, and the salsa had the perfect level of spiciness. With tacos this tasty, its no wonder El Toreador has been a staple of the SF restaurant scene for so many years.
