“Yesterday, my husband and I tried El Toro in Clinton. I have long since just enjoyed Mexican for what it is usually is outside of the western states, Tex mex. I was raised by a nana who made a fresh pot of frijoles weekly, that she usually had me wash for her, and roasted her chiles on the comal for her salsa until the smoke cleared the room. Every time she’d see me “Queres comer mija?” and you never told nana no. I had beans & eggs with verde salsa and fresh tortillas with her countless times. I have never found anything similar to her beans in any state I’ve been to, until yesterday. The beans is always my test, that and the tamales. I judge tamales to be like my Tias, who would make them all day from scratch; the only reicipe I follow myself. Everything, minus the salsa, was perfect. The music had me genuinely dancing in my seat, the food made me want to order seconds, and to add a plus, Jesse found the queso he loves so much from his hometown. The service was great and personable, we had several fun conversations with the staff. I can’t recommend it enough and I look forward to returning. It felt a lot like home. Thank you from this second generation Mexican American family, you made our day.“

“Ye Olde Bowling Alley – A Most Merrie & Tumultuous Tavern of Sport

Upon mine arrival at this grand hall of hallowed lanes, I beheld a scene most lively—verily, a melee of mirth and competition! The air was thick with the scent of roasted meats and the echoes of battle cries (or perchance just the lamentations of those whose spheres didst veer unjustly into the gutter).

Though the lanes were filled nigh to bursting with villagers and knights alike, the bar wench, a most steadfast and valiant steward of spirits, did labor tirelessly. With goblets full and spirits high, she didst keep the thirsty throng well sated, never faltering in her quest, despite the overwhelming tide of revelers. A true champion of her craft!

The lanes themselves, polished to a gleaming sheen, didst grant fair challenge to all who dared wield the great rolling stones. Pins fell like the armies of a fallen kingdom, smote by the mighty strikes of worthy combatants. Yet, in the din of battle, a noble camaraderie flourished, and all who partook didst leave with their honor (mostly) intact.

A fine establishment indeed, fit for both noble lords and wayward rogues alike. Wouldst I return to test my mettle upon these lanes once more? Aye, and with great haste! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Wanted a quick new place to eat. Found this hole in the wall. It was more then that! The food was great. The atmosphere was inviting and employees very pleasant. Got or food nice and hot. Service was exceptional. Will return again.

Parking: They have more then enough parking. With 2 entrances and exits.“

“Best bar tacos I have ever had. Ordered through DoorDash, I’m new to the area so I was looking for good comfort food and OMG! 3 fried beef tacos. I ate them so fast I couldn’t take a picture they were so good 😂😂🫶🏼 I’ll be trying more items on their menu.“

“This bar is a gem in the heart of the Midwest, conveniently located for both locals and visitors. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly, making it a great spot for a night out. The selection of drinks is impressive, and the food menu has some fantastic options. However, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that when I ordered a soda, the water had a slightly odd smell, which was a bit off-putting. Overall, it's a solid choice for a snack while passing thru the town, but they might want to check on that water issue.“
