Tucked away on a seldom used street in FiDi, El Toro provides amazing food, ultra friendly service and a homestyle feel, all for a very affordable price. This is bar none the best Mexican food in FiDi.

It's a bit hard to find, but just b next to Sophie's it's a really fantastic spot. I've tried the lamb, beef, chorizo, and empanadas, with all being fantastic, by the lamb barbacoa making me fall in love. read less

Great sized burritos and quesadillas, all for less than $10, which is hard to find in FiDi. And they taste good too. read less

Hearty, tasty portion of roasted chicken with rice and beans for under $8. What's not to like?

I came here once and ever since my first time here, I've come at least twice a week.

If I don't bring lunch to work, You'll find me here on my lunch time. I could even eat the same dish every day and would not make me get tired of eating the same thing cause the food is incredibly delicious, tasteful, perfectly cooked and put together.

I love it here!!!!!!!!!
I usually get a Taco Salad, either chicken or steak, BOTH are incredibly delightful.
In my opinion the Nachos are THE BOMB, but they are too big for an average person. It is, although, a perfect option for sharing with somebody else.

For those with a PASSIONATE and HIGH LOVE for meat, this is your place. They are DEFINITELY NOT shy AT ALL with MEAT portions, THE BEST PART, in my opinion. I'M A PROTEIN LOVER!!!!!!!!

The staff is lovely, always smiling, always helping you make bad choices as for food. Simple a GREAT atmosphere as a whole!!!!!

El Toro (Not Loco) is 500% recommended.
AWESOME!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!! read less

Must-haves include: their soups, which are hearty enough to be their own meal. Chicken soup isn't tiny bits of chicken diced into salty water. It's thick chunks ripped apart and cooked perfectly and served with tortilla chip strips. Let's not get started on their chili.

I've had everything on their menu by now but their lamb (which I don't eat) and love it all. Portions are perfect, price is right, and menu is big enough to find something you'll like.

It's also kind of a hole in the wall and off the beaten path, and yet people still find it after falling in love. read less

I've only gotten takeout, but hope I have a chance to sit down sometime.The burrito is an absolute unit. I once ate a whole one and my body turned into a potato. The food is super fresh and not at all oily. Fast service and the staff seems genuinely happy that you chose their restaurant. The green salsa is ~smacks lips suggestively~.They also just started serving sangria! read less

I always get the fried ice cream. One day I ordered it and it came melted. I kindly requested on my next order that they bring it fresh because of the last situation (even though it felt like flaming hot Cheetos outside) and the obliged. Customer service and food is always on point! read less

Ordered a burger on ritual and it was quick and easy for pick up. Burger size was good, made it deluxe for 2.50. I didnt even know this place was close to my job, maybe due to all the construction but def will go again to sit down and enjoy some mexican food. The people at the tables had good looking food. read less

I recommend the carnitas. I thought they were expensive at first, but my 3 tacos for about $10 were more than enough, and they don't charge extra to add guac. The guacamole was also super green, fresh and delicious. read less

I started getting there chicken quesadillas frequently, and occasionally chips and guacamole or an empanada. All three are amazing, and also fresh! But I wanted a bit healthier of an option, so I tried their southwest blackened chicken salad and now I get it at least once a week. The ingredients are always fresh, and the chicken is always hot off the grill. The staff are amazingly friendly, and quick! read less
