El Toro - Entrance area - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Tennessee

El Toro is a Dayton staple among lots of Mexican choices. This rates midrange for me but sometimes it hits. The queso and salsa are standard and they do serve Coke products which is a win. The service is fine, just not the same 'home' feel as other local establishments. The restaurant is roomie and has plenty of room for groups. read more

El Toro - The mango margarita size medium. I'm yes please can I get another? Food is coming. - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Tennessee

Attentive service and pretty solid mexican food. What more can you really ask for. Love that they have hers and hers (spicy and not spicy) salsa for the table and their queso dip hit so hard we came back two nights in a row. My margarita also hit me hard and I may have had to have my girlfriend drive us back to the hotel (32 oz was just too much for me to handle). Head to El Toro and try it out. read more

Food is always great! The Grande Burrito with shrimp California Style is my favorite. Quick and friendly service. Sometimes the loud music is overwhelming while trying to eat. read more

The service is also amazing. They are fast and friendly. And very nice servers. It's cute inside and there is a nice outdoor area also. read more

We relocated from California and looking for authentic good Mexican food. Let me say , this place does just that. The service is always attentive and love the atmosphere! We will b back ! Go get some! read more

We regularly frequent El Toro! The Texas style fajitas are absolutely delicious. Same can be said for almost every item on the menu all the way down to the chicken soup! Birria quesadillas are amazing and if you don't see it on the menu Carlos and his team will do whatever they can to create your order. The inside dining areas are totally authentic and the outside patio is available when the weather permits. A must go to for Mexican food in Dayton, TN. read more

Good food good service only thing is a few workers talk Mexican and have to have assistance for orders

This makes me so sad to leave a not great review of this place because it used to be my favorite Mexican restauran My family and I live in Dayton and I love El Toro but the last like 15 times I've been here I've told my husband "I'm never coming here again". The to go orders are verrrrryy rarely correct. One time I had to come back inside twice to make a correction to my one order. Many of the servers can not speak English resulting in my order being wrong. And while I'm ordering I can tell it's about to be wrong. I am all for letting people serve to learn English but if you know your employee can not understand atleast walk with them during the ordering process. I really wanted chips on the side for my nachos because I wanted to take the majority of it home but because he could not speak English I didn't get what I wanted on any of our 4 entrees. It's sad but I'm gonna say it again "I will not come here again" sad because the food is so good. If you can just point to an item on a menu you will be fine but be prepared for it to be wrong if you need to make any modifications read more

The food tasted very good. The serving size is good, too. Service can be slow at times, but nothing extreme.

Was just passing through town and family was starving and we stopped here. The Food was surprisingly Very Good as well as the service. From the 2 Salsa options to the Barbacoa Burrito it was ALL delicious. If you like Mexican Food you will definitely like this spot ! read more

Ok. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. The flavors are amazing, the char or sear on the meats are delicious. The prices are reasonable. The service is good. The house margaritas are superb. Mexican street corn, hot salsa, Diablo cheese and chi orzo dip.....you can not go wrong! I also like that they have carb friendly burritos! read more

My husband and I order take out on the reg. My husband deals with owner and finds him to be awesome along with the food!

It's a hit or miss with this place. Not my favorite but when i'm not feeling like driving 25 mins to my favorite mexican (el metate) then i will eat here. read more

Food was pretty good and we are Sothern California transplants, so lots of experience eating actual Mexican food both North and South of the boarder. Margarita was task but the alcohol content seemed a bit skipping that's why only 4 starts. If I were them I would charge a little more for the margaritas and pump up the tequila content. Bottom line, service was fast, food was really good, atmosphere was ok, and the prices were more than fair. I would definitely recommend giving his place a try. read more

This place was so good! The service was fast, the waiter was somewhat hard to understand (language barrier) but we didn't really care. The food was amazing! Fresh, hot on arrival. Portion sizes were perfect! We paid less than $20 for a two person lunch meal (not including tip). We will definitely be going back read more

This was my first time but I hope my review doesn't apply to all their servers but our server wasn't very attentive and had to call him over for everything. Only time he came up to us was to secure the fact that we paid after we made it to our car, we left cash and he assumed we walked out which makes sense after the service he provided. Food was good but nothing to write home about same as most regular Mexican spots. read more

Came in on a Saturday lunch time. Staff was super attentive and polite. Loved them. I'm from California, so it's the little things I appreciate about Mexican restaurants. Loved they play all types of Spanish music. They had some aguas frescas, I tried the mango water and its delicious! The salsa actually had some spicy in it. They serve black beans (I'm not a refried beans type of gal) And most importantly to me, the food wasn't oily or soggy, it's large portioned, and simply seasoned. I ordered the steak fajitas plate. I do wish the tortillas were toasted instead of steamed, and the tortillas chips were salted, but I'm just picky like that. read more

Great food, grew up on authentic mexican food and I can assure you this stuff is good. Best salsa in town and nice warm chips are always served up. Huge margaritas! Worthwhile food for the price with good portions and unless youre me, youll have leftovers. Sorry, I dont have any pictures! Will try to post more later! read more

Our group wound up here by accident. Everyone in the group was very pleased with the food. The staff was very helpful in adjusting to our individual desires. The only negative is a couple of members didn't care particularly for the salsa. But generally well received. read more

Had a barbacoa burrito. Basically tender, very flavorful pot roast wrapped in a burrito with cheese and sauce on top.

Downhill. It was great at one time but it's getting worse. If it's inflation then jack up the price but don't take out of ingredients / dish. I got the fiesta nacho, it was sad looking. It was filled to the top with chips but the veggies, cheese and the meat were almost non existent. Also, it's best to put the cheese on top instead of the bottom. There is definite different between eat in and take out quality and quantity. There shouldn't be... read more

Had the nachos and they were great. The service was also amazing, so friendly! Definitely recommend!!

Worst mexican food I've had in this state. I got sick and had to go to the bathroom before we even left. My moms seafood smelled like hot cat food and my grande burrito looked like a football covered in cheese. Also our guacamole seemed to be mixed with some kind of oil. I'll never go to el toro again. read more

Great food and great cheap margaritas. My only complaint is the queso was a bit overpriced.
