Very good mom and pop mexican restaurant. Food is always fast and fresh. Service is great. Our go to for local mexican food.

We haven't eaten there in years. maybe not the same owners. the other mexican style restaurants in the area have not maintained my food taste or service. Today was pleasantly surprise and very good. Service was slow, 2 people working the floor and they had a good saturday lunch crowd. all of the food tasted good, hot, and fresh. From the frozen margaritas regular and 4 berry, the handmade quacamole, chorizo cheese dip. 3 lingua tacos, and beef fajita baked potato tasted real good. we will come back. the owners were working the floor and have great attitudes and are kind. Colorful and clean atmosphere. there is a lot less noise in the restaurant. they will not substitute items like black bean soup in lieu of refried beans and rice read more

Food was very good all the people very friendly iced mugs for your beer wasn't that expensive

Food is good. The bar is not that special. Has no cantina feel. Just a bar top with no patrons. Margaritas were okay. Not the best.

Same ol' same ol'. Small place serving your typical Mexican food. Someone needs to open a place that only has 10 things on the menu and make them great. Service was great and friendly. read more

The food is hot and delicious. The size of the meal isn't huge like other restaurants but the quality far bypasses them. The service is fast and friendly. The inside is like average Mexican restaurant. Nothing too flashy. read more

This place is a little confusing to find as it says Mexican grill on the outside sign. Once you park though, you will see that the sign is on the door. We were greeted by the friendly cashier when we walked in. Our waiter could not have been nicer to us as well. They were so fast to take care of us as well. I went with a combination as I couldn't decide what to order. You can pick just about any Mexican entrees to have that you like with a pick your own combination. Everything was outstanding and very hot and fresh. We also enjoyed the margarita that had a good mixture of everything. I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you haven't yet. read more

El Torero Mexican Restaurant & Grill - Mexican Near Me - Flowood, Mississippi

We went there for the first time and the food was phenomenal. I ordered the chicken , steak and shrimp fajitas with the side of rice and refried beans with sour cream, lettuce and guacamole. Our server, Jose, was fast and friendly. The food came out literally sizzling! It was so good I literally almost licked the plate. Everything was eaten and scraped. Bravo El Torero! read more

This is a little gem of a Mexican food place tucked into a strip mall. And I'm from Texas, so I KNOW good Mexican food. The margaritas, both frozen & on the rocks were spot-on. The cheese dip with ground meat & pick de gallo was delish with warm, crisp tortilla chips. Although the cheese was a little thin it was perfect with the pico added in. The quesadillas were stuffed full of fajita meat, onions, peppers & cheese. Really yummy & large enough for 2 people to share. Our waitress, Angelica, was very pleasant, helpful & efficient. Her service was excellent! I just wish we lived closer so that we could make this a regular place to eat. read more

My friends and I ate here for the 1st time today. We had fajitas, happy plate and enchiladas, all were tender and delicious. The place was clean and service was great. We would definitely come back again. read more

Tried El Torero for the first time today. Our server was great and I love his live energy. It's in the same shopping center as Osaka near Mugshots and the movie theater on Lakeland. It just says "Mexican Grill" outside. Taco Tuesday is $0.99 each. My Coworker and I ordered the Lunch Special #1. I opted for the regular chili relleno that had the meat and she chose the poblano which is cheese only. The queso was good but watery at first so you have to let it cool and thicken up some. Guacamole salad was fresh tasting and it appeared to have some cheese in it. The unsweetened tea was delicious.,it tasted like tea..if you know what I mean. The chips were nothing to rave about and they weren't warm if you like warm chips. Salsa was good but not Omg-good. Pico de Gallo needed a tad more tomatoes. I didn't really like my regular chili relleno. I thought the meat tasted funny but my coworker said that's just a different flavor it took on. I think I'll try the poblano next time. The tacos had a ton of cheese and the meat was very flavorful. Service was fast and easy to check out. The ticket isn't itemized by specific items..just the amounts printed out on register paper so make sure you figure out what's what before you pay. read more

El Torero Mexican Restaurant & Grill - Salmon & Shrimp Specialty - Mexican Near Me - Flowood, Mississippi

First time trying this place and it was really, really good! The margarita was way better than most Mexican restaurants. The chips and salsa were also good. The fajitas came out sizzling hot. On the side plate with the fajitas was an amazing mix of pico with fresh cilantro. It was truly an amazing delicious Accompaniment to my fajitas. The negatives? I would have liked some tomato in my fajitas besides just onion and peppers (personal choice). The fajitas were cooked well with some of the peppers and onions charred, I love this. Service was a little on the slow side. They were busy and didn't seem to have enough help. I will be back for sure! read more

I wanted to try it since the reviews were so good but I will not be going back. I'm only doing this review to warn others, like myself, that are looking at the 4 stars thinking it will be great. I ordered the queso and it was extremely watery. Probably the most watered down queso I've ever see. The guacamole dip was like out of the jar type in the chip aisle, soupy-like in blender, not the fresh avocado kind most restaurants serve. It had an off taste too. The salsa tasted exactly like Old El Paso salsa. I really believe that's what they must use. On a positive note... the staff were friendly and the fajitas were decent. read more

Foot was pretty good and did the job for a 1 night stay at the hotel across the way. My strawberry margarita was VERY sweet, so much syrup. Food came out fast and hot and the service was good. Down side is it didn't seem very "covid clean." When we came the restaurant was empty except for 1 table and they tried to sit us directly in the next booth trash was left on our table too. These things could have been ignored Pre COVID. read more

Everything we ordered was old and disgusting. I ordered Carne Asada. It was dry and had no flavor. My friend had fajitas, but they were cold. I did enjoy the margaritas. The ambiance was a bit strange. The girls at the bar were hilarious. They don't make there own tortillas?? Anyway, I'm never going back. read more

Cute little place on Lakeland. I've heard a lot of good things about this place and since its Tuesday, I wanted some tacos! They offer $.99cent ground beef or shredded chicken hard tacos, if you wanted soft tacos, it would be double the price... Started out with chips and salsa. Chips were nicely fries, thick and crispy. Salsa was a little runny for my liking, I like my salsas chunky. The tacos were fine, nicely seasoned. I might get the shredded chicken again, but why when I can go to Taco Palenke on Tuesday and get $1.25/tacos with a condiment bar with fresh ingredients and salsas. My beef fajita thing was also just fine. Although beans and rice was tasty, it came out room temperature. My steak was way overcooked. There was no fresh elements to it like Pico de Gallo would've been nice... everything I had was okay. read more

About as good as Mexican food gets this side of the Mississippi River. Great service and great eats.

They are super nice and my food is always awesome! They will make something just the way I like it. I even got tacos to go and they were not stale and they held up really well to travel. The good is quality and the service is top notch! read more

My buddy has a lethal allergy to shrimp and requested to buy a dish with shrimp removed from it. He made his allergy very very clear. It was brought to him with shrimp anyways. They then took it back to the kitchen, removed the shrimp, and sent the dish back. This caused my friend to have a non-threatening reaction. Also the waiter called him "Gordito" (fatty) as my friend is overweight. Simply put, would not recommend. Food is also mid. read more

This place was AWESOME. Actually stumbled on it by mistake and I'm glad I didn't pass up on it. It's a little small place in the corner of a business plaza so you have to look for it. The menu is HUGE and the prices are very good. You actually get a lot for what you're paying for. The food is really really good. Be careful though because it's coming out on a VERY hot plate. I have nothing that I can think of that's not positive about eating here. So if you're ever in the area go check them out. They definitely deserve five stars from me because the service was excellently great!! read more

The service is terrible! When picking up an online order that has already been paid for, they seem to be annoyed when you come in to pick it up. The food is subpar at best. Every sauce or cheese you get is extremely watered down. read more

Glad we stopped here. The parking lot was deserted but we decided to go in anyway bad laws on the 4.5 star rating, and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was quick, attentive and very pleasant. The food was awesome! I grew up in So Cal and am in Mexico on business frequently so I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to Mecham food. There were plenty of menu options. I had the Chorizo queso and Carnitas and both were excellent. If I get back to the area I will absolutely make this a stop for dinner - highly recommended! read more

El Torero is the quintessential "Cheap Mexican" that many people look for. As a Texan the weekly ritual of margaritas and Tex-Mex on a Friday night is not only traditional but also a necessity for life. While some people may say this restaurant is still subpar, I would disagree. Being from the birthplace of Americanized Mexican cuisine, I feel confident that my opinion holds weight. The building is unassuming as it lies tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. Do not let the sign or structure dissuade you. The food was decently priced, flavorful, and the salsa especially, had a tinge of spice that many Tex-Mex restaurants exclude for the high volume of guests who dislike spice. The margaritas were a bit too sweet but that is usually expected when they are cheap and that is not a strike against the business at all, it's just the way things are. The service was friendly, efficient, and the restaurant itself was well maintained. I'm new to the Jackson area and this will be my go-to for Friday evenings from now on. read more

Delicious. I have had a few different dishes, all have been excellent. Love the chicken tortilla soup.

The food was delicious with some unusual items on the menu to choose from but the service could be a lot better. We had to ask for refills and waited a long time for a server. That's okay though...the food was worth it and a good price. read more

First time there for lunch today. Great service and fast delivery of the food. Good taste to everything. Salsa was a bit mild for my liking and had a tomato-y taste. Tortilla chips were hot and perfect! Taco, not spicy at all, loaded with meat and cheese. I added some salsa to kick it up a little. Enchilda was good. Again, lots of meat. They use the good queso and it was on everything, including the beans. All that for less than $6...how can you beat that?!?!?! I think I found my go-to lunch place when I want Mexican food. Can't wait to try their fajitas one night with a cold cerveza! read more

Just left here, and the customer service was great! And most importantly, it was so clean in there. I'm a clean freak. They were nice, and respectful. I'm heading home now to try the food. If it's as good as a service that I just received, I'll be back again read more

El Torero is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. My wife and I frequent this spot and enjoy their delicious food, amazing salsa, and incredible hospitality. The staff is incredibly kind and always welcomes us with warm smiles and infectious kindness. We stumbled across this spot randomly on a Sunday and have gone many times since. Every new dish I try is incredible. This spot is so good that I reactivated my old Yelp account just to write this review! The ambiance is casual and welcoming and the perfect place for a fun and easy meal with friends or family, or friends AND family! 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more

Heard about this place through word of mouth and my girlfriend and I finally decided to go on a random Tuesday afternoon and this place was truly amazing.

Price was very cheap compared to most Mexican restaurants. read more
