Really fun and colorful atmosphere! The food is amazing and the portions are huge! Worth the drive! Who would have thought you can get an amazing and delicious breakfast at a Mexican restaurant?? This location serves breakfast on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. The skillets are worth the drive and absolutely puts other breakfast places to shame. Who needs IHoP when you can get an amazing breakfast at El Toro Loco! Their regular lunch and dinner menu offers some of the best Mexican food you’re gonna get in Southern Illinois!

As I stepped into El Toro Loco restaurant I was promptly greeted by a tall gentleman wearing a cowboy hat with boastful voice and magnetic personality. This dude was friendly to the 10th power and you just can’t help but instantly like the guy. When he learned that I was in town to perform at a comedy show at the next town over we struck up a nice little conversation and he let me know that he used to be in the music entertainment industry. I wish I could remember his name but if you ever eat there you would know exactly who I was talking about.

When we are in Metropolis this is one of our must stop places. The staff is absolutely wonderful and the food is terrific! The street tacos are incredible. This latest visit we discoved that anything ordered with seafood in it and you will not be disappointed, it is so fresh and large! The shrimp and scallops were amazing. Definitely highly reccomend El Toror Loco.

My guy took me here for dinner and the experience was one of a kind. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants around the nation and trust me when I say this was by far the BEST of them all. I felt super special having my Mexican dish served to me in a Pineapple (sizzling). The owner is amazing and down to earth. I highly recommend this restaurant and will most definitely be back soon

Nikki Walker
Scallops, crab, shrimp, onions, peppers, and pineapple served in a pineapple?! Yes, please!! This restaurant is just phenomenal. This dish is enough to feed 3, and cost under $17. It includes the giant side of rice, and guacamole salad seen, too!

Had a quick stop in town and stopped for a nice dinner, we got there early at 5pm and were the only people in the place. Normally that is a bad sign, well just 5:30 the place was packed and we were enjoying an amazing dinner. I like hot food, most places lighten the burn to accommodate people but I asked for HOT and they provided. Over all 5* for service and food and environment!

What a great addition to Downtown Metropolis! Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. I was seated promptly and my order taken. The menu has lots of options, great variety. The salsa was a bit bland for my taste (I like a tomato sauce base) but my meal was excellent! Portions were large, chips were fresh and had good flavor.

Thomas Cross
The food was wonderful as well as the service, the dish I ordered which consisted of scallops and shrimp had a special sauce which I asked them to kick it up a notch in heat and they were able to do so without ruining the dish I highly recommend this place and we will go back.

Excellante!!! Finally – a great authentic Mexican Restaurant in the area! Beautifully decorated with original art, murals & colorful traditional paper banners (Papel Picado). It has an extensive menu, with every type of Mexican dish. Everything is so delicious! Even my dad (who doesn’t like Mexican food) LOVES this place – he gets the Hawaiian Chicken. I love the carnitas plate. Jesus (pronounced hey-sues) is the owner and works hard taking orders, serving and doing whatever needs to be done! I can’t wait to come back!
