" El Toro has, without a doubt, the best chips and salsa around! The salsa is homemade and has a great balance of flavors. The entrees are consistently good as well. I've tried several dishes, and while some may differ in flavor intensity, the overall quality remains top-notch. The staff has always been friendly, and they make a point to check in on tables regularly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Toro is phenomenal! I genuinely appreciate how they take care to keep the authentic flavors across their dishes. Their enchiladas are a personal favorite as they always taste fresh and delicious. It’s a lively place, but the service can get a bit slow when crowded. Still recommend for tasty Mexican!
