| Marked by their distinctive bull’s-head tattoos, the members of Los Toros are the oldest players on the east side of town. They’re known to have the backing of one of the most ruthless and influential of the latest crop of Mexican druglords, a man from Tamaulipas who calls himself simply El Azteca ("the Aztec").
As of late 2004, the Toros have about a quarter of the drug market in the Monterey Bay area.
The leader of the Toros is a big, ugly Mexican known only as "Chuco" whose face and body bear the scars of numerous knife-fights.
