Their margarita tastes great, only 22$, and equals to approximately 6 glasses. You can ask them to make it frozen but I like the way it comes on rocks. This restaurant also gives chips and salsa out like most other Mexican restaurants but I love how they give extra salsa in a container so you don't have to keep asking for extra salsa if you're a big dipper like me. The food was average for a Mexican restaurant in the area. The prices here are reasonable and I love their beans so I can't really complain much about this place.Our server was great. He was very nice and made the whole experience of dining here better. He was also very accommodating to adding sauces or changing the protein option on the menu. Overall I recommend this restaurant to you if you're in the mood for some Mexicans and get a bomb deal on great tasting margarita! read less

They made my burritos exactly how I wanted them and my waiter was quite attentive, though the food took a bit of time to come out--not too long, though. This may become my mainstay for Mexican food in the area (much like how Schnitzel & co. is my mainstay for German, Taisho Bistro for Japanese, China Star for Chinese, etc.) read less

It came with beans, rice, a salad and tortillas. Very tasty. The chips and salsa are free. My bf and I are both satisfied. And the price is good. We will definitely come back again. 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

First, when you are sitting down in the restaurant, they will give you salsa and chips. I'm not sure if they were unlimited, but the waiter did bring a second round of chips for my friend and I. This is a great place to have lunch or dinner. I did have the margarita and did enjoy it! I will have to try more dishes in the future! 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.

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

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

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
