Food = 5 stars. Service = 0 stars. That averages to 2.5 but with rounding that's a 3 and I just felt that would be misleading. Food always tastes great whether I eat there or have it delivered. But service is just poor, including attention to simple & obvious details. Replicating an occurrence from a previous delivery experience with them, today's lunch will be the last time I give money to El Toro. I ordered one item, the lunch fajitas. I did type in a message which read in its entirety as "No rice, sub extra beans; beans on side please". I did not receive rice, so check. But I also received the standard amount of beans which came in the same tin as the fajita meat & veggies. In that same, single, unseparated, aluminum pan was the GUAC SALAD. The missing beans aside, I feel like it is basic human common sense to not put a cold salad in the same tin as a hot item. Let alone two hot items. Let alone when the customer has asked you not to do that exact thing. (Which is what happened the last time I ordered here, hence my replicating occurrence comment above and the cause of me feeling like I should type it in this time.) Now, I admit this is a relatively small thing. But it is a repetitive thing (and potentially dangerous thing if your stomach cannot handle mild food-born illness). And it is an obvious thing one should not be doing with carryout food, no? Regardless, I feel this is a harbinger or more foundational, underlying issues with either poor management, lack of customer-centric mindset, oversight & accountability issues, or something else. Something other mexican restaurants don't seem to have a problem with. So for those reasons, I'm out.

I loved this place. I had a drink at the bar while my to go order was being prepared. The service was excellent, as was the margarita. It's a fun, relaxed place with excellent food and generous portions.

I love El Toro but since they have added the band the atmosphere is awful. It is so loud the server can’t even hear you. I wish they would only let them play acoustic, it would set a much better atmosphere.

Fast, reasonably priced, and a huge menu with something for everyone. I have been coming to El Toro Bravo for years now and every time I leave happy and full. Their drinks are delicious and huge! We love to get the veggie fajitas and Quesobarrias.

Being from Texas, and comparing it to Ohio Mexican food, not even close. Food was meh at best. Chips and salsa were the best
