Thank you Carlos and everyone from Toreados! I finished everything and I'm already full ? The service is very excellent and everyone is very friendly ? They didn't have Apple Pay but they will accept card numbers that still work to pay! I hope this review makes a difference and compensates for my loss!

The rice and beans are bland, beans soupy. The meat was the only slightly redeemable thing, and even then it was mostly chewy fat.Not coming back, tried to, will skip it.

Fast (freaky fast!) friendly service. Great house-made chips and fresh salsa. I had the chori pollo. She had some tasty enchiladas and a delicious margarita that wasn't on the menu.

We absolutely adore this place! Where can you get delicious authentic Mexican food and GIANT SMILES each time you walk through the door. We love going on Friday evenings to listen to "The Juan and Only" do covers of my favorite songs. Sometimes I can even get a little child to dance with me. The food comes out fast, hot, and yummy. One person who gave a testimonial doesn't care for all the joy and sweetness in this incredible restaurant saying the ambiance was "painful". FFS. One other reviewer has a problem with the mis-matched furniture. AYFKM? Me? After being shut in during Covid and needing the wonderful food and stellar attitudes by all who work at El Toreado Bar and Grill, I suggest these two stay home. This is how these people make a living; great reviews are crucial and EVERYONE else loves this place! Did I mention we absolutely adore Toreado!

explaining my star ratings. Service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the 4 enchiladas -the cheese one wasn't melted, the bean was cold, the beef mush was worse then taco bell and I left the chicken one untouched. Guac is good. As for atmosphere, it's a huge place but smelled so strongly of cleaning solution that is was hard to enjoy our meal. Don't think we'll be back.
