Yummy! Salsa is okay. Chips are great. Food is good. Service was so so. Give it a shot. :EDIT: bad chills and severe nausea all the next day. Possible food poisoning.

Great dinner, I had the Chimichanga. I love there Chimichanga.I asked for a refill on the salsa and never got it. Also wanted a refill on my drink and never was asked. That is the reason for a 3 stars. I have been coming to El Toro for many years and never had this happen. Server Bere C.

Good authentic Mexican food & $1.99 margaritas on Wednesdays. I had there wet burritos and it was loaded with beef then covered with there sauce, cheese, lettuce which was plenty for one. The menu is very extensive & one has plenty to choose from.

Stale chips thin salsa and super sour topshelf margarita made with a pre-mix. Have been there previously and had better food. Not this time. I'm done.
25NOV23 ~ The food was bad, usually tasteless, and definitely NOT authentic mexican food. Even the local mexicans must agree with us. A fishing buddy of mine went there. As we walked up to the restaurant my friend wonder if this was an authentic mexican restaurant here in Gulf Shores, Alabama. As we walked in my friend laughed and said, "Look, not a single mexican eating here," he laughed and said, "Do not expect authentic mexican food." It was not. Everything was bland, really tasteless, except the tortilla chip salsa. My chili relleno had some type of yellowish liquid leak out when I cut into it. This is not what I expected or wanted.

Great tamale but didn't like that sauce....reminded me more of spegetti sauce. Wasn't a fan of the enchilada either but the flan was excellent. My spouse ordered a side of black beans and they arrived in a grey soupy liquid that was off putting. He didn't like it...said it tasted weird. Service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. 1st time eating there. Not sure I'd go back.

This is a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall like many other restaurants in the Gulf Shores area. They have done a pretty decent job of making the interior space far more interesting than many other restaurants in the area. You get the usual chips and salsa to start out your meal and then my dining companion got some beef tamales that were actually just plain masa tamales with beef sprinkled on top of them which wasn't a big hit. On the other hand I had fajitas and while I've had better fajitas I've also had way worse fajitas so these were pretty good overall. The service was decent for the most part but it could have been a bit better with getting drink refills done in a more timely manner. Overall this is a decent Mexican joint and if I was in the mood for Mexican this spot is better than quite a few other local Mexican joints in the area.

We love this restaurant and eat here 2-3 times a month. It’s our favorite Mexican restaurant. Their chips are always hot and the salsa has just the right amount of spiciness. My favorites are the chili relleno with rice and beans, the tamales, the chicken quesadilla, the burrito supreme, and the choriqueso dip.The choriqueso is a delicious and addictive mix of chorizo and queso blanco. The service is good, although sometimes no one is up front ready to seat us when we walk in. The only thing is, while the beef is seasoned, the chicken is not and is pretty bland. That seems to be common around here. Nevertheless we think El Toro is the best Mexican restaurant in town and recommend it.
