The taco salad is really something. I really enjoy it. The salsas are good and the warm chips.

Recently my family and I was looking for a Mexican restaurant to eat out at and we stumbled upon El Toreador. Not only was the food high quality and delicious the portion was huge and very satisfying. We got complementary tortilla chips that was amazing as well as one free refill of soda. The next thing I want to write about are the lovely staff that were extremely welcoming and helpful when we realised that my sister had forgotten her headphones. They kindly kept them safe till we got back.The only thing I did not like was the smell when we walked it but it did seem to vanish later. Overall I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

The experience here is a step above right from the start. They give you fresh house made tortilla chips and two different house made salsas which are both unique. Not your typical pico or blended red / green sauce. They're presented in little carafes and you get to pour them into salsa cups yourself, so the pro-move here... make your own blend after tasting both individually!As for the regular menu. The carne asada is as good as any I've ever had and I grew up in southern California where great Mexican food in on every other corner. I so highly recommend their cheese enchiladas (red) and the fajitas... steak or chicken - delicious either way. Frankly everything on the menu is quality. Come and enjoy some great Mexican food before another Redmond institution is stolen from us to build another gaudy condo with some more hipster kale and poke nonsense.

Not kid friendly. Twice I’ve come in with my daughter and the manager is rude about my daughter just being a kid. It wasn’t like she was running around the restaurant screaming or anything. I can’t stand it when public spaces like this have an expectation that kids should just sit down and shut up and don’t offer anything for the children to entertain themselves. My daughter was standing up in the booth. That’s it and so what. Maybe folks should check their own childhood trauma before projecting it on to us paying customers who also happen to be parents. Oh, and the food was subpar.

Great place to take kids!! Free unlimited chips and salsa (always a hit for kids!) $7 kids menu that comes with rice and beans and the main entree. I LOVE the mole enchiladas ! Service is great - warm, inviting and fast!

I think the key note here is they make their own tortilla chips and own hard taco shells (no old El Paso here) if you translate that to everything else they do it's a home run.
