With hunger beckoning, I decided to give it a try for lunch, and I'm glad I did!The experience was nothing short of delightful, with the flavors of Mexico coming alive in every dish. From the moment I stepped inside, I could sense the authenticity in the air.The menu offered a range of traditional Mexican fare, each dish prepared with care and attention to detail. From the rich spices to the vibrant colors, every bite was a journey through the heart of Mexico.Whether you're craving classic tacos, hearty enchiladas, or sizzling fajitas, this place has it all. The flavors are bold, the portions generous, and the prices reasonable - a winning combination in my book.If you find yourself in need of a delicious and satisfying meal while staying at the nearby hotel, look no further than this hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant.

We love this place. Went during 2 for 1 margaritas.Chips and salsa was fresh. Fajitas is my fave.Parking: Very small parking lot. Hard to get in and out of because it is on busy Nicholasville road. But the place is worth the hassle.

Good quick place for Mexican. They have 2 for 1 happy hour. Good selection, but like everywhere else, have raised their prices quite a bit, so most items are $12-16 minimum. Recently began limiting chips and salsa based on the rest of the order, which is always questionable. Always very loud, but also somewhere we frequent.Update: Got the marg tower. Wasn't any cheaper than 2 for 1 margs, but didnt have to deal with ice on pour or waiting to order another from the waiter

Super clean and inviting atmosphere. The servers are kind and knowledgeable. Prices are fair and the service is so fast! Food is fresh and hot when it is delivered. Depending on what you get it's about 15-25 per person roughly. I would recommend this restaurant 10/10

I got there late night and it was the only restaurant open for dining on a Sunday. Great people and service!

Arrived from Canada on New Years Eve and could not have had a better experience. The food was amazing!! I was nervous with such a huge menu that the details would be lost, but I was absolutely impressed. We had a party of 6, and the service was amazing, food was amazing and fresh and the price point was excellent. I highly recommend the Margherita also. Very fresh, with a good amount of tequila. This place made our night, and they even fit us in on a short notice reservation. Thank you to all the staff at El Toro!! Your service and hospitality is well noticed. Happy New Year!! Hope to visit Lexington again! (Also very accommodating to one of our friends who has some dietary restrictions, they were extremely detailed and accommodating with the information about what spices are in the food and how it is prepared) Thank you so much El Toro.
