When we were walking in two people were leaving and raving about the experience and the food! We were greeted warmly at the door. The place is cute and has a fun ambiance. Once seated, our waiter took our drink orders and they made good cocktails. Then, we ordered an appetizer and dinner at the same time for ease. Then...we waited...and waited...and waited. Finally, we asked about our appetizer and they said it would be coming out soon. People who were seated after us got served but our food hadn't come. And we waited. The food was delicious when we got it, but it took a really long time. I ordered the most expensive item on the menu and I'd give it a 10 out of 10 for flavors- Torro carne asada! The queso fundido and the tacos were also delicious! When they brought the bill, it was clear they knew the experience overall wasn't great because they put two cards for $10 off two meals but didn't say anything about the experience. I would have appreciated a gesture during the time we were there - an appetizer, a drink, another thing to try, just to say, sorry about the wait and we value you and your experience, but that didn't happen. We were so excited to have a new place, but I don't think we'll go back. read more

It was my first, and definitely will be my last time visiting this restaurant. I came for the birria tacos and the Waiter (I believe his name is Gabriel) did a horrible job. My order was wrong TWICE and it was cold and took way too long. I don't recall a time that I never left a tip while dining in. Gabriel didn't deserve it at all . His manager definitely did. She was polite and recognize how bad my experience was and provided me a $10 off coupon. Too bad I won't be able to use it read more

Torro Mexican Cuisine - Horrible experience!! - Mexican Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

I always say..Im never disappointed when I go here... Today I tried the chicken with poblano onion and corn with cream sauce. Great flavors. A little suggestion.... Something I would love to see these dishes would go great with pasta both this dish and the Chipotle chicken And you can add so many dishes But that poblano dish would pop some more if you blended some poblano and cream sauce The cream sauce overpowers the ingredients read more

The Chimichanga dinner was excellent, the rice was fluffy and refried beans were very fresh. Edith provided excellent service. The Frozen Margarita, salsa and chips were very good as well. The noice level was a bit too loud. read more

Torro Mexican Cuisine - Chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

This is an over the top Mexican restaurant. The quality of the food is some of the best. Their steak and chicken they use for their tacos is seasoned very well and not over done. Their cheese & onion enchiladas are amazing as well (my wife's favorite). Try them out and you will be surprised. Ask for Omar!!! read more

I have eaten at this restaurant many times so it pains me to write this. I just ordered the Carne Asada to go and it wasn't even edible. What a disappointment! First the menu says it's 10 ounces well seasoned skirt steak. It wasn't well seasoned nor was it 10 oz, more like 6 ounces. It was so tough I couldn't even chew it. There goes my hard earned $30.00. The chips and salsa are always good though. read more

First time trying, and it was really good. The food tastes amazing! Definitely gonna go back!

Went on a taco Tuesday and became my fav taco Tuesday spot. $2 for chicken/beef. $3 steak. The tacos weren't small either. And were as good as any I've ever had. Also half price margaritas on Tuesdays. And Thursdays. Deducting one star as they were understaffed and took awhile to get seated. The regular menu prices seemed kinda high too. read more

Torro Mexican Cuisine - Chicken and steak tacos!!!!!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

This restaurant always has the cutest decorations. Their complimentary chips and salsa are so delicious and fresh! You can taste it in every crunchy bite. Their seasoning gives the chips a unique taste. Nachos are very big. Asked for a side of queso blanco. Our server, Yvette, has always been so kind and helpful when we go in. She was the one that recommended a side of queso blanco and it paired perfectly with the nachos. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Not sure how this received 4.3 rating. Food, just ok. Service, terrible, overpriced! The only thing had going for it was it was nicely decorated for the holidays. No intention on going back. I didn't bother addressing it with the manager as I won't be coming back. read more

To start their chips are amazing I ordered fish tacos and margaritas everything our table had was excellent a little on the pricier side but well worth it! read more

The restaurant is much brighter than it used to be. Service was very good but the food took awhile to come out although it was very tasty. The margaritas were however mediocre. read more

Nice little restaurant. Excellent service. Good cocktails. Good food. Good salsas. Fair pricing. Would return, would recommend.

We absolutely love Torro, however, we had a bad experience tonight. Called in for a carry out order and one of the items I asked for was Chips & Guac. Get home with food and it's salsa. Check the recipe, they rang me up for salsa. Go back and explain the mishap and the guy up front argued with me and made it seem like I caused the inconvenience. Most places right the wrong with no issues. Not sure why this was such a problem especially considering he was very distracted while taking my order on the phone. read more

Been here several times, quality of food is amazing along with great service! I would highly recommend, will be back!

We visited after only a month of their opening. Short review: good but a bit overpriced. E.g., $16 drinks that would typically be $12 (btw, the Paloma is excellent) Interesting menu. We struggled to find the "fusion" in Asian/Mexican Fusion. Items were mostly Asian or Mexican. Ambiance is good, but the "Under the Wave of Kanagawa " crashing into a pyramid seems to not be thought out IMO. A bit overpriced for the quality of the dish. Specifically, the guacamole is overpriced. Not a bad dish; simply not competitively priced. Definitely get the tamales. They are spectacular! Next time, I'll only get them. Side beans were canned-- wish they were homemade too. Lamb ramen was good. Flavorful, but small portion for $20 and boxed ramen. Wish they were homemade. This was the one dish where we found the "fusion", and it was tasty. Looking forward to exploring more of their entrees like the birria tacos and chicken pozole. Sushi rolls are good but compared to sushi bars, not competitively price (Asian Harbor just next door!). A "meh" experience but we'll try them again after they've settled in a bit. read more

Came here during the soft opening. People have been saying a lot of good things on the local facebook groups. Wanted to see what the hype was all about. Walking in, very nice decor, beautiful mural on the back wall. The bar, lounge, seating gave it a very nice vibe. Even the music was great, Odesza was playing. Our waitress did not know the menu very well. We had a few different questions, one about drinks and the other about menu items. It appeared she had not tried any of the items either. I felt this place would have done a tasting menu for their employee's. The tamales were not ready as an appetizer. We really wanted to try them. Decided to try the Elote instead, the price just didn't seem right. After getting the elote, it was literally a corn stalk cut into 4 splits with some seasoning and mayo. I've been to a lot of places that serve elote, this had to of been the highest price and was not that great. Sushi was very tasty. No complaints at all. Drinks were good but menu did not have any descriptions, very vague at most. The margarita could be a bit more stiff as well. Need to get ingredients involved on the cocktail menu. Overall, place is solid. Would like to see staff more knowledgable of the menu. Add description to the cocktails, would like to come again during the grand opening. read more

The food and the service were exceptional. We went during the lunch menu so prices were not bad at all. They were very attentive although we were there for hours. read more

Soft opening, we tried multiple items everything was delicious, very innovative. Started off the evening with the coconut curry soup. It is served in a teapot with a bowl of fresh vegetables cut. When you pour the piping hot soup over the vegetables and something up and you enjoy your delicious soup notes of coconut and the creamy texture combined with the fresh vegetables make it a Delicious soup. We tried the house tamale it was a little bit spicy and nothing outstanding about it it was good that's all I can say about it. Call her taking them day he was for how long ago forever and he goes we also enjoyed attending to the spicy tuna every other day they have a Japanese sushi chef in the restaurant and the presentation was amazing delicious very fresh everything on the plate was delicious including the wasabi and ginger. For entrees we enjoyed chicken Mole and drunken noodles with chicken starting with a drunken noodles it was a strong peanut taste it was delicious everything in it including the mushrooms and the vegetables was cooked perfectly and perfectly seasoned and delicious. The only mess with the chicken was it was supposed to come with red rice and instead came with a garlic white rice although it tasted good we were kind of excited to try the red rice. I asked about dessert and was told they had a flan and they translate cheesecake he ordered both Aswan was the star of the meal shaped like a heart came of a large sliced strawberry on top and whip cream it was excellent play the Tres leches why is ice cold and delicious definitely homemade very strong strawberry taste very sweet rich and creamy. All in all it was an excellent dinner out with my family we enjoyed ourselves immensely and had delicious food please come out and give it a try it's a brand new restaurant. read more

I went there on Friday March 15, 2024 for the first time ever. The food tasted good and the appetizers were good too. But I ended up with food poisoning that night after eating there. I spent 4 days in the hospital. For my Birthday!!!! I tried to call on Wednesday to inform a manager of the situation. There employee assumed that I was lying and said if no else got sick then you must have gotten sick some were else. I told her that after I eat I became sick. Trust me I will never be back!!!!!! read more

Place does not look it from the outside, but one of the best, most authentic and fresh Mexican food I have had since living in LA and San Diego. Everything was home-made, tortillas to die for. Staff was friendly, was a bit pricey but oh so worth every penny! Place was well decorated even incorporating a japanese theme wall. Well done guys, can't wait to come back at night and try the Mexican sushi combo dishes as we love sushi also. Seriously tortillas alone were worth the visit.... read more

Another gem in Lockport. The food was absolutely divine. I couldn't get enough of it. So good that I had to go back a couple days later with my wife and daughter. The place is still new so there was a wait for the sushi, but with a really great atmosphere, that wasn't an issue read more
