The food is absolutely delicious on top of being affordable, and their drinks are to die for! My recommendation would be any of their daiquiris. An entire pitcher is only about $20 and absolutely worth every cent. Each time I come here I try to order something different. My favorite so far was the chicken enchiladas. In addition to being delicious and affordable, the staff is always incredibly polite and efficient. They also get an A+ for how clean they keep the restaurant! I cannot recommend El Toro enough! read less

We had a variety of items including crunchy tacos, taquitos, enchiladas, chimichangas, and several sides. I grew up in Arizona and anxiously await each return home so that I can eat all of the delicious Mexican food from my childhood. I think that I have tried every Mexican place in WNY but El Toro is easily the best Mexican food offering I've had locally. Realistically, not as good as my favorite places in Phoenix, which is completely understandable, but it was so good we ordered it again the next night! read less

They were fast, food was hot, portions were very generous for a lunch plate, and we are definitely coming back. The meat is not grisly like other places we've been lately. I couldn't even finish all the steak I was given. I also ordered a chicken enchilada which was delicious. Thanks for a great and budget friendly lunch! read less

So glad they're doing well and people are now seeing this gem! They definitely need to have a sign that stands out so people can see the place. I pass by it almost every time I'm going. Chicken quesadilla and chicken chimmys are amazzzzzzing read less

The portions were so large that we really got two meals each out of our dinners. The order was ready quickly and on time... and the frozen strawberry margarita was fantastic. From a pandemic perspective, they are following the applicable requirements. The pick-up area (in the bar) is clean. We look forward to dining-in when all is well again. read less

We walked in and were promptly greeted by our server, who graciously directed us to a table far from a crying baby. The obligatory chips and salsa were delicious, as was the sangria and unsweetened iced tea. We ordered two different dishes (the Special José, a shredded beef burrito and salad with guacamole for my wife, and a 1 taco, 2 enchiladas plus rice combination for me) and both came piping hot and very yummy. Portions were about average for most Mexican restaurants, but my wife still ended up bringing some of her burrito home. Our server was exceptionally pleasant - attentive but not a pest. Dinners came to around $20 and totaled $30 after drinks and tax. I gave El Toro 5 stars for food and service, but subtracted 1/2 star for the so-so atmosphere. read less

Grilled fajita had fiery taste and it was so perfectly seasoned that I forgot to add salsa or hot sauce for the entire time. The interior and setting here is SUPER CLEAN and the server was extremely quick and nice (Fernando was very nice). Even the price was crazy. 25.99 for the entire freaking portion which is about $10 less than La Tolteca!!Ever tired of any Mexican place which has good food with awful cleaness or vice versa? Or the price? I am telling you, this place literally has everything you van expect for a Mexican restaurant - interior and setting, taste, portion, price, and service - to the MAXIMUM LEVEL. read less

The tacos are delicious, I love their beans, and they always fill my order promptly. I ordered Mexican from a different place on a day El Toro was closed and it was only so-so. I kept thinking, "man I wish this was El Toro!" read less
