I rarely dine out while I'm here visiting Orangeburg, because it's fast food Heaven, but felt like some authentic Mexican and chose this place. It was Sunday afternoon and there were a few people eating here. I ordered the Taco Loco. The tortilla shell was so saturated in grease it had zero crunch. The bowl was filled with reheated frozen spinach a little iceberg lettuce a few pieces of tomato and some refried pinto beans. It was bland, wet and basically disgusting. The salsa they served with the tortilla chips was watered down for some reason. Probably to make it go further. I spent $31 including the tip. What a waste. Save your money and go to Taco Bell! read more

I found a spider in my chicken nachos and it ruined my experience with this restaurant never again will I eat there again.

I got the "El Toro special" and the Chili Relleno was amazing! The entire plate was amazing. This dish is what convinced me to eat more here! I wasn't convinced until I had this. I was several plates of delicious, tasty food. Also fast friendly service and amazing salsa read more

Food is decent. Servers are rude if you are African American. They knly want your money they dont care about service.

Best taco bowl I've ever had! The servers are always respectful, and they have something on their televisions for English and Spanish speakers to enjoy. read more

It just wasn't good. I ordered the chimichanga with chicken. They were soggy and flavorless. The queso I ordered was just runny. Like...milk that's been heated up. The salsa was bland. Almost like tomato paste with some cooked tomatoes...hold the salt, pepper, chilies. The guacamole dip was old. You could tell. The color was not a nice bright green but the dull color when it's been sitting out. The lettuce was not fresh either. The rice was old too. read more

Was in Orangeburg, SC visiting a friend and there was not many options in the area for dinner, and this restaurant was one recommended by a local. The food was typical Mexican Restaurant food, fresh chips and salsa, and decent prices for happy hour Margaritas and Beers. Never had a Chimichanga with red sauce on top, usually only have a queso or some kind of white sauce but it was delicious a cross between a enchilada and chimichanga. read more

Great food and service at a more than reasonable price. I have not had any dish that I haven't liked. Great when you have a little bit for leftovers also. read more

Gratuity outrageous considering the service. Drinks good but food just okay. The adult beverages are good but pricey

Nasty nasty nasty! The food, the cleanliness, the atmosphere, the service! Idk how you mess up rice and beans but El Toro gave me some of the worst I've ever had. Nothing looked clean in there; the silverware, plates, cups etc... The servers sucked big time. Not hospitable and don't check back on you. We waited over 40 mins to get our bill and that peanut head fool wasn't doing much of anything, literally just a lazy idiot. When I told my sister I'd never return she told me no one goes here for food, just cheap drinks. And while I suppose that makes the reason this place is still standing more feasible, I wouldn't even trust this place for that. read more

Worst place ever, the servers were rude, got my order wrong and over charged me. When I told them about it, they made it look like they can't understand what I am saying. Very disappointing experience. Salsa was horrible, tasted like bland tomato paste, chips were soggy and flavorless. read more

I'm torn on how to rate this restaurant. The food was really awesome (and we eat a lot of Mexican so our standards are pretty high!) We loved the beef nachos and the guacamole!! Everything- including the salsa- was super fresh. They even have cheeseburgers on the kids menu which made our non-Mexican loving son VERY happy. Despite what you might assume, his burger was great!! On the other hand the service was mediocre and the bathrooms were gross and very neglected (no toilet paper, trash on ground, etc.) read more

Food is mediocre and staff is very unpleasant. Also the drinks aren't good and you can't make suggestions or corrections to your order after it is completed ...even if you didn't like it ! very interesting ..ohh FYI they like to use the language barrier card . (Spoke to manager) read more

First time here. Had the Enchilada De Mole and my wife had the Pollo Loco. Both were fantastic, service was quick and friendly. We definitely recommend trying this place out and we'll be coming back for more! read more

El Toro Bar and Grill - Enchilada De Mole with chicken. Delicious!!! - Bars Near Me - Orangeburg, South Carolina

The salsa is no bueno. It literally taste like they opened a can of rotel! So the food was mediocre to say the least and the margarita was straight up sweet and sour mix. It's unfortunate that the Mexicans who own/run this place have gringonized their food. It's obvious that they are catering to the locals, because this is far from true Mexicano food! read more

it's not giving what it's suppose to give. The food doesn't taste like it usually does. The smell in there was horrible

Great food. We especially enjoyed the salsa, which is made fresh daily. The staff was friendly. There is space to accommodate large groups. read more

I will never eat here again they got my order wrong and over charged me when I called them to let them know they acted like they couldn't understand what I was saying they are very dishonest and I'm disappointed in my service and food read more

The happy hour is reasonable, and even regular prices are good. The food is good but it has been hit or miss. The carnitas were tough and inedible, but the chicken breast were awesome as were the chicken and beef brisket burritos. The chicken soup is awesome! Crown royal black was in the $6-7 range. read more

Ordered Lunch 12,17 and 22 and ALL GREAT! Coming from South Florida, this is one of the best!

Always good food and fresh. Service always pleasant and attentive. Better than you might expect. It's not a fine restaurant but it's good and dependable and one of the better run restaurants in Orangeburg. Love the decor. read more

Great place for good and drinks. Great bartender Daniel will do you right. Try it you won't be disappointed. Two thumbs up!!

We found this restaurant while searching for a place to meet a USC student half way from Charleston. The food was fine, nothing better, nothing worse. It was your typical Americanized Mexican food. All of the food is mild which is a bit boring for me. Quick efficient service. Bottom line, will eat here again if a group was going, otherwise, I will try to find another restaurant as it has an average flavor profile ! read more

Very good food! Great Chorizo!! The service is polite and welcoming. Great place to stop for some good food in a small town. :)

Excellent atmosphere, good people, not too busy, great place to eat and cool out. Located close to the Fire Dept, it is centrally located on the side of Chestnut Street, near Duke's. read more

I have been here numerous times and have never been disappointed! Their lemon pepper wings have a almost sweet kick to them which is delicious and their combos are all awesome. I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

Was traveling through this area and decided to try this Mexican restaurant. They were very busy and and we couldn't find a place to park close (fortunately there is a strip mall behind the restaurant where we found a place to park) we decided to try to get in. Surprisingly we got a table immediately. Apparently they had a convention that was eating there and this is why it was busy - we went at 7PM on a Friday night. The service was fast and friendly. Meals came out quickly. Had the mole chicken enchiladas - very good! Guac delicious. The lime marguitas was that basic artificial green color and weak. I would of tried a different concoction but our waitress had no idea of what the drinks consisted of.... Names were cute such as "the Donald Trump" for $9. Most were $6 and with names of either dirty or foul inuendos. Would suggest they have this list with descriptions. read more

Great meal. Wife and I split the Molcajete for two. Will be going back soon. Service was good, quick and friendly. $3 Dos XXs.

Great food and a great place to hang out with friends. Each time I went I've had a wonderful time.

Just ok. Chips were decent, salsa was tomato-y and bland. I ordered Chili Rellenos and got a plate full of cheese with a few scraps of bell pepper buried in it. Margarita tasted like frozen green Sprite. Staff was pleasant enough - but if I had to eat Mexican food in Orangeburg again... I'd make my own. read more

My husband and I stopped here for something off the beaten path on our way north on 26. I had the Fajita Burrito, which was served with a ver fresh salad, plenty of sour cream and an expert guacomole on the side. My husband had the chicken soup, which he found very flavorful and not overly salty, as is unfortunately often the case at other Mexican restaurants. The wait staff were polite and attentive. We would definitely stop here again. read more
