Expensive beer, but ok if you order from bottles. If you come from the southwest don't eat here, you'll be disappointed. Service was slow, waiters are overworked.

El Toro Bar and Grill has become one of my absolute favorite go-to spots whenever I’m in the mood for a great drink and delicious food. If I’m ever craving a Long Island, this is the place I trust to make it just right. Their drinks are always strong, balanced, and worth the trip on their own. But what really keeps me coming back is the food—especially their Quesadilla Texana. It’s packed with chicken, steak, and shrimp, making it one of the most satisfying quesadillas I’ve ever had. The portion size is generous enough that I usually end up with leftovers, which is always a nice bonus.
The service at El Toro has also been consistently impressive. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. One moment that really stood out to me was when I arrived late to meet a group of friends, and my meal was served at the same time as theirs despite me ordering afterward. That level of efficiency shows how much they care about providing a smooth dining experience for everyone.
Between the friendly staff, amazing drinks, and flavorful food, El Toro Bar and Grill is easily one of the best spots around.

This is a nice place to come for great Mexican food and a 20 oz Cadillac margarita! This restaurant can accommodate large groups. They also feature different floors for dining. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It was also very close to the hotel zone.

Food was o. k. Guess Southwest Detroit's authentic has me spoiled. Even the Detroit food trucks are better.

I had gone to the El Toro that's 15 minutes away. The one I attended was small, so I was rather surprised when I walked into this restaurant. What also took me by surprise is that they had an upstairs place. The atmosphere here is that of your traditional Mexican restaurants. All the employees have similar uniforms. Everyone here was a professional. A group of 11 people came in at the same time, and I saw them make a table on the fly. There was no waiting area. I placed my order and was taken off guard when they out in about 10 minutes. I ended up taking leftovers home. Just ask for a box, and they will give you as many as needed. The menu is a little fast on the menu. Just pause it and see it more clearly. Payment will be in the form of cash or credit card. I would come back here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of Mexican food. The chips and salsa are delicious. Don't worry about spicy salsa.

It was located close to the hotel during my road trip, so I checked into the hotel and went for a light dinner, but the quality of the food was disappointing. In particular, the blueberry cocktail I ordered as a special cocktail was the worst. I put a few blueberries on it and it felt like I was taking cold medicine full of blue pigment, so I couldn't drink any more after taking just one sip. I didn't order a large size, but it came in a large size, making it a really expensive cocktail for the taste. Also, one of the annoying things was that there were flies flying around the store.

We got there at 12:28, six of us and 1:30, still no food so 4 of us got up and left because we had other plans. It's just crazy to wait about an hour for food. Probably won't be back.
