We’re located in dayton Tennessee, surrounded by mountains and the tennessee river. We opened our doors august, 10th 2005, and were amigos for a long time. In 2019 we had a chance to start our own restaurant with a new name. Now we have the opportunity to be independent and bring our own, original ideas and concepts to life. Now we are El Toro mexican grill and we would like to be here for many more years to come. We’re going to work hard to make all our clients feel at home and give them the service they deserve and be part of the community who we would like to thank for helping us get where we are.

First time there was amazing. Everything was perfect. 2nd time there (the very next day) I left feeling really irritated about my meal. The $12 chicken grande burrito they gave me had more than half an entire onion in it (not exaggerating), and barely a hint of chicken. A big big ripoff. Very hard to recommend a restaurant after being served a $12 onion burrito. I should have sent it back tbh.

This place is usually SO good. But after tonight I will not be back. My husbands food was wrong ,so he tells the waitress. She comes back to the table and rudely says they’ll take 20% off. That’s not what we wanted. We wanted our dinner and correct. Then as we are checking out we advised we wanted our dinner not the discount. The lady checking us out rolls her eyes. I was absolutely blown away with the rudeness.

Came here because our car broke down and we stayed at the hotel across the street. Best unexpected experience ever. Dakota was our server and he did an amazing job. Our meal was delicious from chips to entrées. Definetely recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner.

Fantastic food, large variety menu. Good prices. Very busy on weekends. But the food is worth the short wait. The service is very attentive and can answer any questions you may have.

The food, as usual was great. What needed to be hot with hot and what needed to be room temperature. Everything spiced appropriately and delicious. There was no wait to get a table and the service was quick and dependable. Without a doubt our favorite local Mexican restaurant.

Waitress was unprofessional and slow, didn’t offer refills and brought one of our plates after everyone was done eating. When we said something to the manager/owner and he started to talk over me until I told him to let me speak. On top of that, we came at lunch time and they charged us dinner because they assumed we wanted dinner at lunch time?…. Yeah never coming back here again.

Unfortunate that a place my family + I loved to have dinner at, turned to a place we will never go back to. Waited 1 hour + 10 minutes in the hot room (due to lack of air conditioning or use of such) for food that still never came. We watched tables that were sat 20+ minutes after we ordered, sit, eat + pat their tabs. When asked the server did truly try to ask but was pushed away by the cooks + had no help from management. While personally speaking to the manager, I experienced complete unprofessional behavior. Myself, my husband and our kids finally decide to leave after being told “this happens, another server took your food” we were charged for our drinks and told to have a good day. I addressed not being compensated for anything + was told the manager didn’t have that authority then when I said ok we will most likely not be back considering how this is being handled, her response was “ok cool.” As a manager, I would never handle matters this way. Now my family + I are going through a drive thru at 7:30 PM for dinner. Do better, El Toro.
