I finally made the drive to Casa Centro in Springfield and had mixed feelings about a few dishes…read more We sat outside on a beautiful day, which made for a pleasant dining experience. Our server was very nice and personable throughout the meal. He did forget to bring silverware and napkins for the appetizers, so we had to ask for them, but otherwise the service was friendly. We started with the chips, salsa, and queso. The chips were fresh, crisp, and not overly salty. The salsa tasted fresh and homemade, and the queso had a nice kick that kept me coming back for more. I also tried the street corn. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite item. It tasted more like corn that had been poured straight from a can rather than fresh roasted street corn. The birria empanadas were good, with a crispy shell and flavorful filling. The sauce served with them was delicious. My only surprise was that I expected the cheese, onion, and cilantro to be inside the empanadas, but most of those toppings were served on the plate instead. For my entrée, I ordered the bowl with half chicken and half shrimp. The shrimp was the star of the dish. It had a nice crispy coating, was seasoned well, and had great flavor. The chicken was a little under-seasoned in comparison, but the portions were generous and they definitely didn't skimp on the protein. My dining companion ordered the California Burrito. The presentation was impressive, and it was definitely a substantial portion. However, we were surprised to find green beans inside, which wasn't something either of us expected in a California Burrito. Overall, the restaurant was clean, the portions were generous, and there were definitely some highlights. The fresh salsa, queso, shrimp, empanada sauce, and portion sizes stood out the most for me. While a couple of dishes missed the mark for my personal taste, I'd be willing to return and try some of the tacos or other menu items. Rating: 3.5/5

Food is fresh, fast, friendly and consistent every time. Truly delicious. My favorites are Chori Pollo and Carnitas Arturo (named after La Fiesta's founder, Arturo Fuentes). Arturo's brother, Reuben, has now taken over the restaurant and added the name Viva! to La Fiesta. Everything, including most of the awesome staff, remain. Here's what you are dealing with in the business ownership and family: during COVID, one of many's favorite servers, Pedro, became very ill. It was terminal from what we understood from the restaurant's Facebook page updates. Arturo paid dir a private charter to fly Pedro home to Mexico so that he could be with and say goodbye to his family during his last days. If you're in the area, give this great gem a try. You won't leave hungry and will probably make a friend or two with the staff before you leave! Enjoy!

I met friends here for lunch yesterday. I asked if I could order off the Kids Menu. The waiter said…read moreYes, and then mumbled something else. I thought he said that he would make an exception. Other friends ordered the Lunch Menu taco salad for $8.95. I ordered the taco salad off the Kids Menu for $6.95. My lunch was much smaller than the others, which was exactly what I wanted. When my check came, I was charged $6.95 plus a $2.00 charge. The waited told me there was a surcharge for ordering off the Kids Menu! This is outrageous! I won't be returning!

Like, why doesn't the server remember who ordered what? I'm not liking the "service" scene here or as well in many other restaurants. The food is barely average.

We've come plenty of times for tacos, but this time wanted something different This evening we went with a Chicken Fajita Taco Salad and Chicken Enchiladas with beans and rice. Both classic dishes were spot on for the quick in-and-out experience. Food was cooked just right with all the right balance to make the flavors pop! My wife added a side of fresh jalapenos that spiced things up a bit. As you know sometimes jalapenos can be hot, and sometimes not, but tonight they were definitely hot, just the way she likes them! Parking was easy even though the lot was packed, the atmosphere was festive and friendly, and René (manager) made his rounds ensuring everyone feel welcomed Highly recommend El Toro to any locals or those passing through, you won't be disappointed! #GoBills

Lots of new stuff on the bigger menu, lots of birria choices (quesadillas/tacos, burritos, "pizza" and ramen). I got a new burrito from the new menu, but didn't shoot pictures of the menu itself and forget the name. Of course... But it had chicken, cheese, chorizo, lettuce and rice inside, a steak and a skewer of shrimp ontop, and mothered in cheese and salsa Verde(my fave)... It was ginormous, it was fantastic, and came on a platter the size of a boogie board. I struggled to cut it in half and have half left and a side of rice for tommorrow. Woot. 10/10 I got a tamale too, chicken not pork, the sauce was meh, I prefer a rich mole but the masa flavor and texture were great. 7/10, removed a point for chicken over pork and the sauce, decent but not the best I've had. But would get again! I'm liking the new direction under new owners, I'll be back! (And I'll shoot pics of the new menu!)

A few things: there was an up charge for refried beans, (a whole dollar for a spoon of) sour cream, and guac. I could understand the guac. However, since it's a vege taco (no meat) I would think the rest would come with it. While I do love when places include veggie options I feel as if the up charge wasn't necessary for their VG options. And catering to the VG options as a whole should be included in the price.

I was told there's an arcade. (But I didn't see it). I was welcomed immediately upon entering, and the young man had on the coolest shirt. I had a few laughs, it made a Klondike reference, he wore the shirt but had no clue, you had to experience it to get the pun. ( they sell them). I chose to sit at the bar. Then there I met the barmaid..... who was so bubbly and pretty and no I didn't say that because her shirt said that.(LOL) She showed me the special of the day both food and drink. I tried the spicy tequila shot made by the house with jalapeños...meh.. it wasn't hot enough for me but it was still ok. BUT the vegan taco that I had was soooo good. Who knew theres VEGAN TACOS! YES PKEASE!!! There was cauliflower instead of chicken inside but you could not tell the difference. IT was amazing. I had my friend take a bite and I got a 2 thumbs up(lol. Didn't say it was vegan, its AMAZINGhow cauliflowercan take on so many different personalitiesfrom). Anyhoo. Keep Yelping my friends and hope to see you out there!
