El Toro Mexican Bar & Grill

My wife can’t eat solid food so she gets alot of refried beans and rice. Today she tells them she does not want the chips and salsa. They proceed to give her double chips and salsa. And they charged her for them. Upon trying to get the refund the guy tells her it’s declining. He was trying to charge her card again. After getting that handled she gets home and can’t eat the beans because they were crazy spicy. She said they are never spicy. This kinda sucks because I like the fajitas and taco Tuesday. But it will be awile before we come back to this location.

I love Mexican food, and authentic is the best. I came here because I had a taste for tacos and enchiladas. The atmosphere was great, staff was friendly and attentive. The prices were good. The food however was not good at all. I ordered a #1 dinner combo plate. One enchilada two tacos and rice with a Pepsi. Chips and salsa were brought out and were tasty and fresh. The dinner came out in decent time, consisting of two enchiladas and one taco. I had asked for chicken. They were “ground beef”. The meat had no taste at all, it was like they took hamburger, cooked it up finely ground, drained it of grease, rinsed it in hot water for a few minutes and then added some extremely weak taco seasoning to it. Very bland. Had to ask for extra sour cream dish just to give it some taste but still couldn’t finish 3/4 of the plate. If it weren’t for the rest of the experience, I’d give one star. On a good note, the rice tasted good. Whatever they did to that ground beef though? Not good at all.

Great server and food portions and quality outstanding!!! Highly recommend over any other Mexican restaurants!

Staff: Very friendly, but the food was cold, oversalted, and greasy.

I came close to closing. Everyone was friendly and assured me it wasn't a problem. The food was phenomenal, without any doubt. Priced very reasonable for the amount of food you get.. Very clean, and professional.. I will definitely be back to try other delicious things on the menu.. Thank you again..

Don't go to Northwoods El Toro today! Waited 20 minutes for someone to take our drink order, and well over an hour for our food to come. When it got to the table it was incorrect. Not the normal El

The food is always fresh, fast, and delicious here! Carry out is great as well!

It's basic tourist Mexican food: tasty, edible, Mexican themed, nothing special flavor wise. Nice atmosphere with good service.

I come here for Taco Tuesday whenever I can make it. Their chicken tacos are amazing! I also occasionally call and place a to-go order just for chips and salsa. The staff are great at their jobs and polite even when they're busy. During crazy rushes, they'll still swing by with more chips, salsa, and drink refills right as you need them. The person who brought us our food tonight (3/4/25) (I'm not sure if they were a server or whether their job was specifically to bring food to the appropriate table) wasn't our server, but still took the time to bring us more chips/salsa when they saw that we had finished them. Would recommend!
