    We love this place.

    We have come here for over 4 years. The staff loves everyone and it is more than a meal. It is family. I love this place. Thanks again!!!!

    Good service, great food. They had those typical Americanized Mexican dishes and a few seemingly authentic Mexican dishes. Their menu is very extensive, so if you go there everyone in your family will find something that they like. However, it is a VERY loud place, as they have multiple birthday parties a night and they come out singing and playing instruments. If you want to celebrate something and have fun, this is a great place. If you want to come here and enjoy conversation, you may want to avoid it on weekends especially. I liked my dish, it was a lot of meat. Very generous portion and it easily made two meals for me.

    By far the best jalapeño margarita! They put dry ice in the glass- it must change the taste...it's outstanding! Stays nice and cold...so good!

    The food and margaritas are delicious! We tried a burrito and steak tacos and would get both again big portions we both took home left overs. They give you chips and salsa as soon as your seated here. Service was great and we received our food very quickly. We loved the wall paper and giant TVs - perfect spot to catch a game. Check it out!! Cheers!

    Service. Waiters and manager (white pants guy) talking and laughing with each other, sitting at tables and standing at bar. Slow service. Normally chips and salsa brought to you when you sit down, but drinks brought to us and then waiter disappears for the first time. Chips are only brought five minutes later when another waiter notices we don't have any. Five more minutes pass before waiter comes back, and takes order. Wait 10 minutes before refills on chips and salsa and drinks are addressed, and not because waiter or manager noticed first. It might be understandable if restaurant was busy, but over half the tables were empty and wait staff was texting on phones and talking to each other in bar area. No longer the best Mexican restaurant around.

    We had a fun time at El Toro! It is more of an experience rather than just dinner. We went on a Saturday night and the place was hoppin'! I would say that is the only negative I have. The volume was loud! Music loud, their birthday celebrations were loud, and everything in general loud. It was a great time, but if you're expecting quiet, this might not be the place to find it. The salsa was some of the best I've had. We ordered the Texas Fajitas and they were fantastic. Plenty of food for two people and then some. Everything was great. We got two flavored house margaritas that came out with dry ice to add a little flare! They were short a host and a busser, but as hard as everyone was working, you wouldn't have known. They were on top of it even being short handed. We will definitely be back for another flare-filled experience at El Toro!

    First time here - service and food VERY GOOD!! Love the fun atmosphere - will DEFINITELY be back to try more of the menu!!

    I'm always looking for a decent Mexican restaurant. It came down to choosing between this one and another new one that I wanted to also try. We went there for lunch. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we received. The service was nice, and the food was even better. The atmosphere was calm and the decor was very subdued and pleasant as it wasn't too carnival like or bright in color like some Mexican restaurants do. I am impressed with this place. The food was very flavorful. The only thing I can say is that the ground beef they used for the tacos and anything else was very greasy. The salsa was very good, but the chips tasted a bit older or stale. It might have been the oil (older)? they were fried In. I noticed next to the kitchen there was a storage room and there was a couple of giant garbage cans with lids that said chips on it. I wonder if that's the reason? Sometimes I judge a Mexican restaurant on their salsa and their chili relleno. Both of them were very good. I was perplexed a little bit to see a pile of seasoned ground beef piled on top of my chili relleno. If I order it again I'll ask that they not put that on there. The beef taco was overfilled with meat and not much of anything else. I had to ask for a bit more of the standard toppings. The refried beans were excellent and the rice was pretty decent too. I just feel like they put a little bit more thought and effort into their food and the flavor. The presentation was nice too. We also waited quite a while for food as well so it means that the preparation was also probably mindful. When we went it wasn't very busy at all as well. Although they are not perfect, I think as far as Mexican restaurants go, they are a pretty decent Mexican restaurant. I definitely would consider going again and maybe trying something different on the menu.

    I have been waiting for an edible cookie dough place here in Indy and here it is. It was worth the…read morewait. It is located inside of Greenwood Mall. It is not in or near the food court. It is located across from Starbucks. They not only have shakes and edible cookie dough, as their name implies, in many different varieties, they also have sundaes and coffee. I was on a mission and came in hot for the cookie dough. The shop is decent sized and very clean. I had a bit of a tough time deciding what flavor to go with. Them offering samples of my choosing helped a lot though. I went with three small ones, old school chocolate chip, monster, and mint. They were delicious. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be chocolate chip (I am old school). Reminded me off my childhood when you were not supposed to eat cookie dough, but did anyway. The woman that helped me was awesome. She had just started there and was a pro already. She was very helpful, accommodating and attentive. They have a little seating inside the store or your can easily find a spot in the mall to post up and eat. This was an excellent treat for myself with top notch service. I just wish that it was more accesible and not located in the Mall (especially during the holiday season). I will definitely be back. It just won't be before January 1st. so I can avoid the Holiday shopper mayhem. I am all about treating yourself and highly recommend this place. You will surely not be disappointed.

    Always a great time here!…read more It is good to note there is no drive thru, and wait time can be long, depending on the time of year. However, almost always, there's a smiling face to greet you. The ambiance definitely gives small town vibes at everyone's favorite ice cream shop. My go-to is usually a mixer or the 4-scoop sampler. I did in fact, go with the 4-scoop sampler. Especially, considering this is great for people like me, who can't make up their minds on what they want to try. Today, my flavors were mint chip, cheesecake with Biscoff, watermelon ice (I LOVE THE ICE SELECTIONS), and peanut butter brownie. All the ice cream was thick, creamy, and filling. Me personally, I wouldn't get the cheesecake flavor again, but that's my own personal preference. Overall, this is a great option for families or someone just looking to get some good homemade ice cream. This is my favorite spot and will for sure, be back!

    Decided to try their ice cream today. Couldn't decide which one so we got the sampler. I did…read morehowever ask for the chocolate ooh dough but she gave me reg chocolate chip so was a little disappointed. Coconut, banana cream pie and butter pecan was good just wish she hadn't messed up the chocolate one. The trash was way over filled so it was very gross looking and definitely made the seating area look messy and not well attended to. Three stars for the three flavors that were correct. Probably will try the one in fishers next time.

    I unfortunately didn't have the best experience here however, the atmosphere was so warm and cozy…read moreand I love the location. I ordered a grilled cheese along with a sugar pie slice and a London fog. They have other baked good options which looked good too. The grilled cheese was very small and I think cheese got into the pan because it was also cooked onto the bottom side of the sandwich. It was a very small grilled cheese. The London fog tasted quite strong and the sugar pie didn't really stand out. There were other items on the menu though that I'd love to try if I ever go back. What I think took this down to 3 stars was the service. When I went to order, I was just stared at and I thought maybe they weren't ready for me yet but they were. There was just no greeting of "Hi, welcome in" or even a "What can I get for you?" It was just a stare and silence. Now the staff were not unkind...they certainly seemed friendly but that lack of greeting didn't feel great. Additionally, they were very quiet or mumbled when calling out orders and so it seemed like many people listening never heard their order including me. I also had to ask again for the pie after having paid. I bought a bandana as well and didn't see the price tag. When I asked how much it was the staff member said it was either 12 or 15 dollars. She rang it up as 15 when later I saw the price tag and it clearly said $12. I showed the staff member and she said it was $15 and it was a handwriting issue for the price tag. I rarely write reviews less than five stars but I do think if there could be a bit more initiative from the staff and orders called out more clearly and louder for drinks so they don't spoil that would really help.
