Great fajitas... will be back again for sure! Guacamole was off the chart too... and I'm very picky about my guacamole!

Visited for the first time on 10/13/18 on my way to the Boilermaker/Illini game. Service was quick and food-to-table time was lightening fast. Let me just say they make the best pineapple on-the-rocks margarita I've ever had! If you like margaritas they are excellent here! Just skip the 12 ounce and go straight to the jumbo size :-) They have a lunch menu that includes Saturday so it was nice to order a smaller portioned meal. The food was hot and pretty delicious. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area! I would have given it 5 stars but I thought the size of the quesadilla was a bit on the small size. read more

Hang out with friends, lunch or dinner, friendly staff, good food, always a good time.

Food was good and service was fast. There were 10 of us in our group and we had a great time. I get the burrito loco every time and it's always so good! Only complaint was how dirty the bathroom was, with no paper towels. read more

Firstly, whilst placing a pickup order via the phone, courtesy's such as "have a nice day, goodbye" are the last thing on their minds. Instead, a heavy slam of the phone is all one should expect to hear. Secondly, while I was in the restaurant paying for my order, some bald dude with a tude walked nonchalantly and without any haste towards me and mumbled inaudibly at me. At this point, I just told him my order number and paid the man. And lastly, the cherry-on-top of this subpar experience, the dude decided it was alright to say absolutely nothing at all at the end of the transaction. No eye contact, nothing. Great customer service, if it's Opposite Day... food was pretty much on par with the service as well. Super Americanized & inauthentic. Won't be going back read more

I like the food, location, speed of order, and menu. Service always great! I have to write ten more characters so here you are a thorough review with enough letters from the alphabet to adequately suffice. read more

Great restaurant. Visited with family from colorado's. Good service and quality food

The food was inexpensive, but not very tasty. The chips and salsa were the best part. The enchiladas and tacos were made with the same tasteless ground beef. I would have liked more of the salsa, but the waiter never came back. It took forever to get our check which negated the fast food aspect. read more

Food is just ok but we have noticed the service has been going downhill lately. Quite a while back, like last winter we went in and was seated. Chips and salsa was brought out and then nothing for 20+ minutes. We got there early around 5pm so there may have been 2-4 other tables with other customers. Fast forward to 4 weeks ago and the same exact thing happened again. This time we watched families come in after us that got served their food and again, we sat there with chips and salsa, no drinks, and no service. We "were" weekly customers until now. And just so everyone know we walked out and went East down the street two doors and got better service and better food. Too bad Martin the original owner left St. Joe. read more

In person dining experience is great! Fast service, polite and attentive wait staff, great drinks and food made to order at a great price. Carry out is a great option for those on the go. read more

I've only been to this E Toro a couple times when I was close, usually I go to W Springfield. If you like the one in Champaign you won't be disappointed here, great food and staff. read more

Great tacos. Good price. Their refried beans are not good though. Hot sauce on the table tasted moldy. Very friendly staff.

Good Mexican food. Always busy and yet pretty quick service. Staff is friendly eaten here half a dozen times. Guacamole is great burrito loco is always a good choice but be warned it is huge !!! Chips and salsa are fresh and tasty, easy to make a meal out of that read more

This place has gone to hell! I just paid $12.00 for a plate of fat and grissle, smothered in cheese. They call this carne azteca. Not the first meal I've complained about either. Ever since Martin left, this place is mediocre at best. We used to love their food. Now we're just happy if its edible! I guess they think these small town gringos don't know the difference between good food and garbage. We'll just smother it in queso, and they'll love it. Get your shit together, and have some pride in your work. read more

Great place and friendly faces! Great food and service. Always leave feeling great and full! Never had a bad meal. Many birthday celebrations. It's a place to see and be seen! Our family favorite! We eat here once a week or more! read more

Service is always friendly and efficient keeping you supplied with chips and fresh salsa while you wait for your food. Good food, very reasonable prices. Dad comments that the El Toro salad never shortchanges the chicken. And mom likes the generous portions! A must visit every time you're in St. Joe! read more

This is the blandest "Mexican" food I've had since my mom used to buy Patio Frozen Dinners. The salsa tastes like V-8, our guacamole was bitter, and the fresh tomato garnish on my plate was as hard as wood. read more

Love this place! Out of all the El Toro's in the area (I believe there are 6) this is my favorite. They are fast and cheap and good. If you are looking for 100% authentic, this ain't the place. But if your looking for a decent cheap good Mexican restaurant than this is your kind of place! read more

Of all the El Toro restaurants, THIS one is the BEST! Service is always fast and meals are large. If you want things done up a certain way, they are happy to accommodate! read more

As a lover of mexican food,I appreciate this place. Highly recommend the Pollo Asado.

Fast and family-friendly Mexican restaurant that serves chips and salsa the moment you sit down. They also serve one of the largest margaritas I've ever seen. read more

Love all El Toros! Good family run businesses and the food is always good! Quick service and friendly!

As with all the El Toro's the service is almost always excellent and it's always clean. After Martin left this one, the biggest change here is the food. It's quite often bland and over cooked and lacking any sort of kick. The salsa is frequently nothing more than canned tomatoes with barely added cilantro and onions. It's almost like they took all the "Mexican" out of the food. I frequently order Fajita Quesadilla Chicken and I swear the chicken isn't seasoned or if it is, it's drowning in grease. I had a hard time writing this review as we have been frequenting these El Toros since the beginning and really like the people who work here. I've always wished they would all do more "from scratch" cooking. I'm still grateful to have this option here in St. Joe. read more

Always good food. Incredibly friendly service. It's fairly quick and easy with the best mexican food in the area

Unfortunately this El Toro has gone downhill in the past year. The service is indeed fast and friendly, however, what good is a "big portion" if the food it bland and tasteless?? We used to order from here for carry out at least once a week until the fajita meat stopped tasting like anything besides beef and chicken. No salt or pepper or spices at all! The only way to get any flavor out of the dish was to stir salsa or guacamole in it. Very disappointing! This used to be my favorite place to eat but after numerous orders being less than palatable, I've given up. I'll only eat at the one in Urbana now. read more

Great food...but they throw whipped cream in your face if anyone requests it. No birthday necessary....sorry...not professional..

Decent Mexican food. If you liked it before ownership changed from one sibling to the other, drive the 10 minutes and go to Toro Loco off of Cunningham. Much better food, better lunch menu, and the serving sizes for food are much more generous. read more

Our to go order was again incorrect. This time the cheese sauce was missing from our burrito loco. It is a 15 minute drive each way. It was not reasonable for us to drive back to get it. This made the meal dry and unappetizing. I called and talked to two people. I was promised a gc in the amount of the meal. Well, that was apparently a lie told to make me hang up. This is 100% unacceptable. read more

Very good food! They can master the most simple Hispanic dishes or add a new twist to it. The service is amazing. All the waiters seemed to care about your experience and are very patient. read more

Great Mexican food. Very friendly staff. Really quick service. We eat here regularly.
