Good Mexican restaurant. As I expect from Mexican restaurants, the atmosphere was very lively and staffs were welcoming. Food was just what I expected. I visited there for lunch, but next time, I have to go there for dinner with beer!

I’ve been to this restaurant off and on for about 5 years I always thought the food was pretty good so I decided I wanted to try them because it’s been about a year. I call whoever answered the phone you need to tell them, you do not say hello when you are answering the phone for your business. Then I proceeded on to say what I wanted, I said I like to order some food she didn’t hear me, she said what did you say? I said I want to order some food and she got real smart and said okayyyy what do you want real smart and I told her that’s okay. That’s a big turn off so whoever’s answering your phone you need to get them off the phone because that’s a big turn off when somebody is trying to order food and the person answering the phone is getting snarky and smart, not good for business. But somebody has an attitude like that I don’t trust that I want to have them touching my food or anything. They lost my careful who you allowed to answer your phone business and they’re the closest Mexican restaurant to my house and I thought they were pretty good but I like to always try other establishments and I have some of my favorite establishments that I do go to but I really did like this place but that girl’s attitude on the phone made me change my mind and that’s really sad if you value your business

Fast and friendly service. We got a table and were served immediately. The food is prepared pretty fast and you get chips with salsa while you wait. I ordered the chicken chimichanga. The meat was not dry and the cheese sauce was great!

This was my first visit to El Toro. Four of us eat together. The menu is great; so, it was tough decide what to get. All of the food was great. My daughter said that her chicken tortilla soup was the best she ever had.

We stopped in for the first time on a Sunday evening; noticed the outdoor dead winter planters on the sidewalk, and the bag of ice melt– it’s been 3 months since winter ended, not a good sign. Inside, service for seating and ordering was prompt. Immediately noticed that the tabletop was excessively sticky, however, which was a huge turnoff. When your arms, napkins, and even your cell phone stick to the table, it is an issue. Is it clean? Is it a buildup of grime or cleaner? Either way, not acceptable. Chips and salsa were hot and fresh. I ordered the Tropical Fajitas, which according to the photo, showed a fresh pineapple half, filled with the described meats and fajita veggies. On arrival, the entree looked nothing like the photo. 3 canned pineapple rings lay on top, another 2 were buried under cheese sauce with the tough, overcooked shrimp, and julienned (too thin a cut for high heat) steak and chicken, which all continued to cook on the hot fajita platter. If they were out of fresh pineapple, that should have been mentioned to me as I ordered. If the dish is never made with fresh pineapple, the menu photo and description needs to be changed. While the meat mix had flavor, it was drenched in cheese sauce and tough. I usually send items back when they’re not acceptable but last night chose not to due to personal circumstances. We may return to try other items; my husband’s Enchilada Verdes were tasty. We happened to see a server using an all purpose cleaner on the other highly varnished booth tables near us, so we assume the sticky situation is varnish becoming tacky with cleaner over time. Hopefully the business takes some time to pay attention to all of these things, but when customers continue to rave about the food, sometimes the business doesn’t care enough to bring other concerns up to a higher standard.

Our family has been coming here for years and always loved it! The food is great, whether eating in or getting to go, and the margaritas as big as your head are great.
