The service was a bit off the waiter kept asking repeatedly if we wanted appetizers after telling him we are waiting for more in our party to arrive. The food and drinks did make up for it though. drinks were very good and my chicken fajitas were amazing . the black beans were awesome. going to give the place another chance with the service as we also had to wait a very long time for the check.

This place is always in party mode, music could be a little less loud. I couldn’t even hear my friend talking to me 2 feet in front of me. I did enjoy the karaoke, though! Food and drinks were great and our server was quick and professional. I will definitely be returning here for sure.

I was invited to a social event and was gretted well by staff. As the night progressed, the appetizers were served by staff that seemed a bit unorganized. It wasn’t clear where or who to order drinks from. Our main dishes arrived with no Tortillas . The food was good and the atmosphere was lively.

I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for lunch and dinner. The food was amazing. The staff is amazing, friendly and helpful. The flan and tres leches is a 10/10 would recommend. We will be back!

Nice looking space. We were the only customers at the bar and it took the bartender 13 minutes to acknowledge us. Drinks were good, salsa was not good. It took another 15 minutes for us to pay as he disappeared for, as I understood, change. Oh and a Casamigos Margherita was $37. This is Poughkeepsie not 3rd avenue. With all of the Mexican restaurants around here, I would skip this one.

Something about a Mexican restaurant at the end of a strip mall. Nearly all I’ve eaten in have been wonderful. (Why are they always on the far left?) El Toro Loco was no exception. A tasty experience beginning with the creamy dipping sauce that came with the tortilla chips. The margarita was balanced and bountiful. The background music was songs you know by different artists giving the place a coffee house vibe. Nice atmosphere overall – not cozy but not too strip mall. The carne asada tacos were some of the best I’ve tasted – and that is coming from having dined at TexMex across Utah.

Loved the interior decor great vibes here. The drinks are amazing and the food was great!! I’ve never had empanadas like these before and I’ve been around. The sauces are unique as well I still can’t put a finger on what they use but I love it. Very good prices I’ll be back for sure.

So we ate there for the first time to try the place out and honestly the food is not that great. We ordered the largest drinks they had to start off and you could not taste the liquor In them at all, almost as if they put no liquor in them. For the high price of the drink it could have been a real drink. The drinks were also very sweet, too sweet. When we got the chips and salsa, the salsa was in a very small plastic cup, more chips then salsa and we had a large party. When the food came they brought the tortillas about five mins after. And the chicken, peppers and onions had no flavor at all. The beans and rice were good but for the price of the dish they give you a small cup of the two combined which I thought was strange. The chicken burrito had more rice than chicken and again lacked flavor and didn’t come with any sides. I really wanted to like this place but the food was not great. The wait staff was nice and friendly but that’s about all they got going for them in my opinion. Will not be eating here again.
