The chilaquiles and quesabirrias are must-tries, bursting with authentic flavors that whisk you away to Mexico. ??Yes, there's a wait during peak hours, but that's expected at any popular spot. Trust me, the delicious food is well worth the wait! ?If you love Mexican cuisine, this place is a real gem. Highly recommend checking it out! ?“

“So in good fashion I went to the local taco spot I passed a million times. The food was simply amazing. I had the street tacos and my son had the burrio tacos. Let’s put it this way he never made it out the kitchen to sit down and eat them. His words…”these are so bomb…I want more!” The street tacos were nothing short of amazing. I didn’t catch the nice woman’s name that greeted me with a smile but I want to say thank you for the tres leche it was amazing as well. We will return for more delicious food off the vast menu. I am so glad you are local. However I would travel for the food cooked in the place. Thank toy again!Parking: Unknown number of spots… I didn’t really count but there is plenty of space“

“El Toro is a good restaurant and the waitress was nice and friendly. I ordered the chiliqules but I asked for no egg but they said they had to give me the egg so I ordered it on the side but they still put it on the plate. They barely gave me any chiliWylie’s the potatoes tasted like they had been in the freezer for a while they were not very good. The salsa was delicious. The tortillas were very good and tasty the beans Had good flavor, but we’re on the dry side. This place overall was a good experience but could’ve been better.“

“Amazingly quick and wonderful food! The restaurant itself has had an upgrade recently and looks very clean! New pictures and an upgraded menu are what we found when we walked through the front door. The menu is easy to read and full of so many yummy tasty foods. The pictures are worth exploring every single item! The gentleman who took our order was super easy to work with! He was nice and answered the questions we had over the menu flawlessly. The order was placed and in less than 10 minutes we got our drinks and food! The owner was on property eating her own breakfast as the same time we were. She did stop to talk to a customer and greeted her kindly, even though she was eating!! The tacos are amazing and well stuffed. I got 1 carne asada with cheese and sour cream and they took the extra time to mix it all together for me! Never has a place done this before. My husband got a chicken fajita and bean and cheese taco. All three of the tacos were stuffed, tasty and made to order. We visit this area frequently and will be back soon!“
