Food and drinks are always good but the service ? CRAP. Unless of course you're white. Every time me and my family have come we are sat in a corner and forgot about no matter which location we go to and I thought maybe it was just us but I've had a couple other Hispanic people tell me the same thing.

This place so far haven't disappointed me, I came here this past Sunday with my friend and her husband and I must say the Carne Asada Quesadilla was delicious and the classic margaritas also had good taste. When you come here be prepared for great food/drinks and big portions. My friend order chicken burrito and her husband had Carne asada dinner. After tasting our Carne asada the chicken fell a lil short to her but all and all we got in right away and it's very quiet which is good but too dark, thats the only thing I didn't really like. Will I be back most def, oh and our waiter Luis was pretty decent too!!

Best Mexican food around hands down. Authentic, friendly and always a pleasure to dine in or to go. Everything seems freshly made, not reheated.

El Toreo DC is great! Their Chili Verde Burrito is incredible, with tender slow-cooked pork and no hunks of fat, and the sauce is delicious. The salads are always fresh and crisp, and the Chips and Salsa portions are generous.

We ordered togo on 1/30/21. A large black hair found in my friends taco. The dinner was thrown in the trash. Restaurants should be extra EXTRA careful and now with COVID I would think twice about going there because you don't know if they're wearing masks in the back, probably NOT and only if they are getting inspected. THIS is not the time for owners of restaurants to let employees slack ! It could cost them their business

Good food and huge portions! Plus now you can get margaritas to go! They don't have outdoor seating so it's to go only.

Best tacos and Carne Asada in Palmdale. They aren't shipping steak to go but their tacos chips and salsa are great. The salad as are fresh and large.

Solid sit down Mexican food. Albondigas soup is perfect. Such a surprisingly quality place much closer to me than the mall. And it's better because it's never badly crowded like the mall can be.

I love this spot, the staff is always friendly and the service is good. My family and I have been coming to El Toreo since I was a kid. We love the Champaign brunch. Enchiladas and rice and beans are my favorite!
Love this place. If hubby and I don't go here at least once a week for an enchilada and a Cadillac, there may be a tantrum thrown. Sergio is awesome and always takes great care of us. Buffet is on Monday that has a ton of tasty options. Classic comfort food.

Palmdale is all strip malls and chains so my expectations were a bit low. This place worked well for a business dinner. The veggie fajitas were surprisingly filling, with a big variety of veggies and potatoes plus a cheese-stuffed chili relleno; huge portion. The salsa is excellent, authentic. Great corn tortillas, not dried out.The food is ok.....the salsa is better! I think the restaurant is a little dirty and very dated. I think they need to invest in the decor at lease some! The food came out good, but not delicious. I'm not sure if I'll go back. It's just so ran down. Hard to focus on anything else. Great service!

I always come purchasing some food in this place. I enjoy the speedy service and well cooked dishes. Keep it up.

Food is priced high compared to quality of flavor but it's okay...i think maybe people really come here for alcoholic beverages and I don't indulge so I was not influenced and if you get strong drink in you I believe the food quality seems better. I am just not impressed and the food was just low quality compared to so many other places.The service was also mediocre at best.
