What Ruthie Stokes doesn't like about El Toro:
Got a burrito from here and was honestly kinda disappointed. The burrito was not nearly as flavorful as I expected it to be, which is fine, but it was abysmal as leftovers. I love to have Round 2 on my burritos the next meal, but this one was gross and soggy. View all feedback. What Alexandria Orn likes about El Toro:
Excellent delicious food, wonderful personalized service felt like I was in a friend's kitchen. You also have a dedicated vegan menu. Veggie friendly sponges. Her chicken and meat dishes were also really fresh and delicious. Get the Chimichangas and the Guac View all feedback.

I've been here twice, once in 2019, and once in 2021. Both times I've had the best prawn enchiladas I've ever had in my life, definitely worth a visit.
