The food was ok. Service was less than desired. Waitress took our drink orders. When drinks were delivered, she didn't know who got what so yelled out drinks to our table (10 guests) we had to call out. My wife wanted a Bloody Mary made with tequila instead of vodka (vodka doesn't agree with her) commonly called a Bloody Maria. Drink came with vodka, we stated we clearly asked for tequila. Food was now delivered in same way yelling out food & we called out. Half way through dinner the Bloody Maria was delivered. My wife tasted it and it was so spicy hot she gagged. I tasted it, now I like spicy drinks & food & I couldn't drink it. We told the waitress & she had the "manager" come out. I explained the problem with it being too spicy. Her response was first Bloody Mary is supposed to be spicy. Plus this was the second drink they made for us. I told her the first one was wrong, manager said they don't make Bloody Maria's (keep in mind the only difference is tequila instead of vodka & this is a Mexican red ). I mentioned how hot it was and she said that I'm wrong, it's supposed to be hot. The Manager was rude at our table & when I went to talk to her in private was more so. She talked down to me like an ignorant child. I am in my 60's and have probably been to 1000's of Mexican restaurants in my life. This was the worst service & treatment ever. Not to mention after our food arrived the waitress never came back to our table, no refills on drinks, no to-go containers. We had to get the containers ourselves, then go to the cash register to identify what we ordered & pay. Absolutely no refund on bad drinks. To add to it they automatically added a tip & never mentioned it. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!!! read more

Food was good and fresh for a to go order. I went through the drive through for pick up and everything was included in my bag. The only thing that could have been better was the chips weren't fresh or warm. read more

This is a better than average Mexican restaurant. It's not necessarily aesthetically pleasing, but the food is good. My wife and I ordered the Azteca to share. It's a combination of steak, chicken, shrimp, rice and melted cheese. It was very tasty. I would order this again. We also ordered guacamole dip (nice and fresh) to go with our chips (just your average chips). We complimented our meal with the nice version (more expensive) of their Margarita made with Patron. The margarita was great. Our server, Ivan, was very friendly. All this and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend El Torito. It's not fancy nor gourmet, but it's better than your typical Mexican place. read more

Went to this restaurant with my family food sucked. Service sucked the bill was 86.00 and they tried to charge me 100.97 and when I told them I would not pay automatic gratuity. They stole my credit card and charged it. For 100.97 anyway these people are thief's and disgusting and rude. DO BOT GO HERE TO EAT. read more

El Torito - an empty parking lot at night - Mexican Near Me - Galax, Virginia

I had the Cali-Burrito and it was awesome! One of the best meals I've ever had. Seriously. Our cheese dip was a great start to the meal, but the side of Pico had too many jalapeños. Everyone had great food- ACC, chimichangas, and quesadillas all got the thumbs up. Our service was good and the server brought roses to the moms at the table for Mothers Day. read more

Had dinner there recently. Friendly, hard working staff! Good salsa and fajitas. Reasonably priced.

Delicious! Every time I come back to town this is one of the places I make sure to stop at for lunch. Great service and very fair prices too. read more

I used to go here a lot but then when I recently went back, I wasn't impressed with the food. It tasted mediocre after 2 times of going back here. I just prefer to go to the Mexican restaurant where I had been going, where the food tastes fresher. I'm disappointed by the quality of food going down read more

Good food, healthy choice of options, including vegetarian options. Very fast service, was in and out within 30-40 mins. I had the veggie fajitas - they were great! read more

Terrible service, forced 20% tip even if you leave a cash tip on the table. Multiple hidden up-charges that they do not tell you about. People were walking to the kitchen to grab their own to-go boxes and asking for more water since the employees were standing around talking to each other ignoring the tables. read more

Wish I could put a zero for the service not the food. Waitress was focused on personal issues. Forgot half of the order. Never came back for refills or items missed. Had to go up to ask for a whole missed meal. Food is good but dealing with the staff is not worth it. read more

Love the food, best Mexican restaurant around, fast order and clean place to sit down and eat.
