    Phenomenal. Visiting from Chicago, better than most of the Mexican places back home. Great food, great service.

    No flavor in hamburger. I have eaten there a lot and they need more of a selection. Other Mexican restaurants have a bigger selection.

    I've been coming here for nearly 30 years for their tamales all the way from Benton, IL. These are…read moreamazing

    Forgot to check in here twice, but came here 2 days in a row. Small hole in the wall with pleasant…read morestaff. Male in front was helpful and is always the one working the front I hear. I ordered multiple tacos, tostadas, quesadilla with meat, and tamales. I got all the meats to try them all. Tamales only come in pork though. Food was authentic and tasted fresh. Loved the tacos. Has a corn tortilla. 2 soft tortillas for every taco to hold it together. Lime and green sauce (mild) add that nice kick to take it to the next level. Toastada was fine. Crunchy shell, but I would rather spend the money on tacos and tamales. Quesadilla was good. Right amount of natural melted cheese (white) and did not ooze out of quesadilla. Got chicken. Tamales came with the corn husk. Tasted great. Corn dough or masa was soft and had good texture. Slightly wet though from the steam I suppose. All of them come in pork only, and mine did not have much pork in it. Got the guava jarritos and the green apple soda the second time. Now to talk about some meat! Steak - thinly, small cut. Crispy and chewy. Perfect balance of spices/flavor, but not overpowering taste of the steak. Chicken - tender, small shredded. I do not think spices are added to this one or you can not really tell. Pork - tender. Good and also plain (no to little spices added to me) Tongue - very tender. Had lots of natural flavor. If you never had it, it's worth a shot. Better not to know until you've already eaten it :) Chorizo (sausage)- has a spicy kick and lots of spices on this one. Makes the meat orange/red in color. Meat is crispy. The next day I came back again in the late afternoon and they ran out of Chile relleno and tamales :( I guess you have to get there earlier or quicker than the rush. The employee told me you can call ahead so they can reserve some for you if needed (he could tell I was sad). The Chile relleno varies in spiciness so it's a fun/dangerous gamble.

    We were very impressed with our meal at El Toro Loco. Passing through town and in need of a filling…read moremeal, I spotted this option and it was a new one for us--the other positive reviews confirmed it for us. For those who say "all Mexican places" like this are "the same," I have news for you--they're not. Not even the supposed "Americanized" Mexican restaurants that populate various small towns around the country are "all the same". El Toro Loco proves that in multiple ways. The quality of food we had here was fantastic-- my wife had the street tacos with chicken. Three simple ingredients: chicken, cilantro, and corn tortillas. But each was top notch and together they were about as good as a taco can get. I went for the El Cabellero which was a nice sampler of multiple items: 1 chicken enchilada, 1 beef burrito, chile relleno, cheese quesadilla, and rice. The quality of every ingredient was noticeable. A simple cheese quesadilla is usually unimpressive-- not this one. Served in a crispy flapover tortilla filled to the brim with warm, smoky cheese, it was pure comfort food. The chile relleno was cooked to perfection, the mole sauce on the burrito truly great, the rice a step up from what you'd expect with real tomato flavor. Even the ground beef was good. Chips were thin, crispy and fresh, and the salsa had bite. I ordered a medium margarita and it was stout and flavorful. Our server was friendly, prices were fair, and everything was clean and welcoming. I've had a lot of mediocre Mexican food and this one was a fantastic surprise tucked away in an unassuming location. Will definitely return.

    We are staying at Fort Massic and went into town for food. Very good chips, salsa and queso…read more Ordered off the lunch menu; got a chimichanga and some tacos. Good portions, good food, clean place with a good waitress. I'd definitely come back. :)
