" El Toro is definitely a spot I will keep coming back to. The first time I went, I had the cheese enchiladas, and they were amazing! The cheese was melted perfectly, and the enchiladas were smothered in a rich sauce. However, my only complaint was that the service could be a bit slow during peak hours. Despite that, the staff was polite and friendly, creating a warm, welcoming vibe. Overall, fantastic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Toro is just okay in my book. I had the chicken fajitas, and they were decent, but nothing spectacular. I appreciated the cozy atmosphere but the service was a bit spotty. There were times I had to flag down our server. It’s not my top pick, but I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience at El Toro! The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in, and the vibe was lively. I ordered the burrito, and it was massive! The homemade salsa was a highlight, bursting with flavor and perfectly spicy. My friends raved about the tacos they ordered too. I would say the value for the portion size is excellent! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to El Toro for a casual Thursday dinner and were very pleased! I had the steak fajitas, and they were delicious and steaming hot. We had a great experience overall, except the wait for the food was a little long, especially since we were quite hungry. The environment was lively and charming, so I’d say the atmosphere more than made up for the wait. I would go back again, especially considering their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited El Toro a few times, and my experiences have always been positive. The guacamole is fresh and delicious, and the tacos are large and satisfying. The colors and decor give it a nice Mexican vibe. While the service can vary depending on how busy it gets, the atmosphere is laid-back, and people seem to be enjoying themselves. I’ll definitely return, as I enjoy their consistent quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great little find! I came to El Toro hoping for some quick takeout and I was impressed with their efficiency. The staff was not only friendly but also very accommodating with my requests for modifications. The tacos I ordered were loaded with fresh ingredients and tasted fantastic! It was a bit busy for a weekday evening, but the service kept pace. I can't wait to come back and try their enchiladas. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got around to visiting El Toro after hearing positive reviews! I was pleased with the meal. The enchiladas had great flavor and the service was quick. However, I did find the atmosphere to be a little too loud for my liking. Overall, I was satisfied and would return, especially for the variety on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
