Aye! Toro was recommended by a Mexican friend so of course we had to check it out. It has cute modern decor with plenty of spacious seating. Service was very friendly and efficient. Food came out fast & was delicious! We all really enjoyed our unique flavors/ selections which we don't typically see at standard Mexican restaurants. The margaritas btw, looked amazing. We didn't indulge but will put that on the list for our next visit. read more

We always have great service and good here. It's our go to spot for food, especially after softball. Their new chicharrones with guacamole is my favorite appetizer. I can eat the whole thing! read more

We have moved this restaurant up to the number 1 spot for mexican in Sanford and it's surrounding area. It did not disappoint this time. We had ACP, 3 tacos Carne asada and texas fajitas. Our server kept our glasses of Dr pepper and sweet tea topped of as well as ensured our salsa bowls were never empty along with the nacho chips. Everything came out hot and tasty. The only negative was that we asked for no cheese on one of the refried beans plates and it came with cheese. Our guest has an allergy to dairy so this was an issue. They brought a new plate out but it unfortunately changed the eating vibe. Overall we will be back. read more

Nice appearance, free parking. Inside is also inviting. The server was very nice and helpful, even when there was a mixup on the sides for one of the orders. We ordered the Del Mar burritos, a Chori-quesadilla and Toro tacos. Everyone enjoyed their food and all the leftovers! Looks like two of us will have a great lunch tomorrow! We plan on returning soon! read more

The food is always good. The service is great. Food comes out quickly. Pleasant atmosphere

First off, the appearance of the restaurant was very nice well kept and clean. The bathrooms were very clean as well. The copper sink was spotless in the ladies room. We had quick and friendly service. The food was amazing. The only kind of negative thing we could even say is the sweet tea was like pure sugar, but they did bring us an extra cup of water to water it down. Would 100% eat here again. Even the salsa was great. read more

Not authentic Hispanic food. Not that great food. Better options near by. Won't eat here again.

We were seated immediately. Drinks came out fast. Our food was delivered in a great time frame. The lamb chops were very flavorful. Mouth watering. Very tender. The server checked on us several times. The mango drink was so good. I'm definitely returning. read more

We enjoyed this place for lunch this weekend. It was busy, but there was plenty of seating, and the service was fast and friendly. To start, the chips were crisp and the salsa was just spicy enough. I ordered the Un Poco Loco, and my friend order the Fajita Taco Salad, both from the lunch menu. Both were well seasoned and tasty, and the portions were generous, even for lunch. We also learned that they have a location in Holly Springs, too, which is very good news for us! read more

Best Mexican food in town! As a guy who grew up in Sanford, but wound up in metro NY with career for over three decades, and had really great Mexican and Latino food, I can attest that this joint is authentic, with delicious dishes, great margaritas, and excellent service. I came home to Sanford to retire, and am very happy to find a superb Mexican restaurant in my humble small town, which has grown into a suburb of the Triangle area. I always come away with a smile on my face and a happy belly! read more

Great modern Mexican food at this place. All dishes were made to order with fresh local ingredients. The drinks were good as well. The salt rim on margarita is made with some special salt that definitely enhances the drink. Steak was cooked perfectly, beans were great so was the cheese dip. A must to go to in Raleigh. read more

Listen, I am Mexican American born and raised in Southern California. My husband and I fell for the reviews. The food was poor quality and definitely not authentic. My husband ordered the Toro Burrito which was saltier than ocean water on a hot summer day. The manager told him it was the cheese and they get frequent complaints about it ‍ the fajitas were good. The service was weird. The people were not helpful in recommendations, customer service and they were super short in conversation. I know good Mexican food is hard to find out here, but this isn't worth the price. We paid $60 for fajitas and a salty burrito. read more

We have been coming here for almost 3 years. Due to our busy life we have not been here for months. The food was good but I was sad that they do not offer a homemade Horchata anymore. Instead it was the Klass which does not even come close. Their prices went up easily 20% which made our visit bitter sweat. From our normally $50 bill for 3 people, 2 adults and 1 child, we spent $70. The food was still good but I was not impressed with that price change. We will not be back. Happy New Year! read more

My daughter stomped a three inch cockroach directly behind our table after our dinner. Been nauseous ever since. Wish I had seen it before. Checked the health rating afterwards & wish I had seen that before as well. AVOID. read more

This review is for the food and the service. The food quality is always good however, to get the food you have to endure painfully slow service. Please improve your service as we enjoy the food but it's not worth the wait. read more

I love the atmosphere and the staff is always very friendly and attentive. Water tastes like garbage and their soda is always flat, which a huge bummer but really my own my gripe about the place. It's a bit on the pricey side for Mexican food, but it's worth it. We've gotten quite a bit of things off the menu and we've never been disappointed. Place is slammed on the weekend evenings, so be prepared for a wait on Fridays and Saturdays but it's worth it! read more

For a last minute dinner choice, my group and I were impressed. The chips and salsa are typical. Literally the same everywhere I've went. PRO TIP: check in on yelp here to grab a free cheese (queso) dip Entrees ordered: -FAJITA QUESADILLA, a 12 inch tortilla cooked with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers & Menonita cheese. Choice of steak, chicken or mixed. -CHORIPOLLO, a Chicken marinated breast topped with chorizo & melted cheese. Served with rice, beans & tortillas. The quesadilla is HUGE. You get your money's worth. It taste pretty good too. The Choripollo was alright, kind of over salted but not bad. Bottom line: I would definitely get mixed chicken and steak for the quesadilla, not to discredit the choripollo but the quesadilla is better. The ACP (arroz con pollo) is for your body builders: lots of protein and decent carbs read more

It was nice but some plates were overpriced and greasy. It was hard to get attention. I was confused as to whom was in charge of my food but the one that brought my food was more attentive. Everyone was moving around so I was trying not to bother but I was hoping the waitress was more focused. read more

Decent food and service. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Been a couple times. Bar environment. I'd go back.

Delicious and well seasoned food! Sometimes communication is difficult due to language barrier. Love this place!!

Food and service was on point! Best in the area and will return to try a few other items!

Food was great! My fiancé and I went in just as they opened on Sunday. We had a plate of red sauce chilaquiles and a chicken chimichanga. Both were delicious! The restaurant was very clean and the ambient was authentic. However the service was a bit iffy. The server ladies and waiters came off a little rude... to everyone. I'm big on service and attitude so that really threw me off. Good food though! read more

Service was good, food was plain with little seasoning. Definitely not authentic or spicy. Nacho cheese sauce instead of cheese.

Yummy food, excellent service, great atmosphere. Loved this place and will be coming back! read more

Aye! Toro has consistently good food at a good price. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. The wait staff is attentive.

Super clean. Great food. Good price. Friendly staff. Just moved to Sanford and tried this place out. The fajitas and burritos are out of this world. My girlfriend ordered the horchata and she loved it as well. Definitely a go to spot for anyone in the area. read more

We tried Aye Toro for the first and loved it. We were seated right away and within 10 minutes of ordering we had our food. It was fresh, hot and tasty. The staff was pleasant and checked on us frequently. We never had to look for them for refills or the check. We will definitely go back regularly. read more

Such an experience! My family are not a fan of Mexican food like I am l, so my family was disappointed when I pulled up to the restaurant for dinner. To their surprise hubby was totally impressed with the menu options and the kids were equally amazed! Not to mention-the food was phenomenal!!!! We all enjoyed our dishes and plan on visiting tomorrow for lunch as well! read more

Definitely some expensive chain type Mexican food. The chips & salsa wasn't great, and I usually LOVE refried beans, but didn't like theirs. The rice was very good. I think I'll stick to the more authentic places in Sanford. read more

Always delicious. Have only done takeout since Covid. My go-to spot for Mexican food.

Came here for dinner with a friend. Typical Mexican restaurant, definitely looked like the only decent one in Sanford. The portion sizes were huge, the prices were similar to other Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Don't do it! Food is 100% NOT fresh. I can tell this food was reheated over and over. People that claim that it is good Mexican food do not know anything about what good Mexican food is. I don't know what was more difficult to stomach, the Aye! Toro Burrito that was saltier than the Himalayan Salt Mines or the bill. The bill was $64 for a beer, a burrito, and fajitas. For all the people that stated that the food was good... I question your judgement on what good food is. For the people who are so hopeful to find a good Mexican restaurant- I'll save you the time, money, and upset stomach -- keep looking and don't eat here. And for my Mexican people- te va dar chorro si comes aqui. ‍ read more

Omg I never had such a bland taco in my life!! It was as if they defrosted the meat and cooked it without even salt and pepper --- what a. Bummer!! Don't waste your time or money. read more

Hands down - best Mexican food this side of the Mississippi! As a native Californian I'm always searching for authentic Mexican food and I've been disappointed until I found Aye! Toro. We went with friends to celebrate my husbands birthday and we were very satisfied with the variety on the menu, and the service! The food was so good, and since I was DD I'll have to come back for their drink menu but I was told it was awesome too! We'll definitely be back soon! read more
