We were a very large party that showed up without a reservation and they had no problem accommodating. They had several people helping the server make sure we were taken care of. They margaritas were fantastic. I had a shrimp burrito that was grilled in diabla sauce. It was the best Mexican dish I've ever had.

What an unexpected surprise. Despite the outer appearance and confusing entrance, I enjoyed it. The server and owner were so friendly, such a family like atmosphere. The 2 for 1 margs were delicious. I don't know what mine was, blue with a tajin rim, but I highly recommend. So yummy!
Highly recommended especially if you’re looking for a tasty margarita! Strawberry on the rocks is SOOOOO GOOD!!! The owner is so sweet! Bartender rocks! 🤘 great service! Will most definitely return

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.
