This restaurant is gods blessing to the world. I lived in Cincinnati for 1 year with mi lady, and El Toro quickly became our weekly date night spot... must I say, this is what got me through a serious tragedy in my house....The staff, the tequila, the tasty boss burrito... just hit different... every time. Chef's kiss

Once a loyal customer of this establishment. Seems like things have gone downhill in the last four months or so, and there seems to be new management. Today was awful, the floor was sticky throughout the restaurant, it smelled, and one worker would not even respond to us. Also, my buddy was trying to use a text offer from corporate and they would not accept it?? And I had the same one, which we receive all the time and have used before? Please bring Alex, Victor, and Diego back; things were so much better. May never go back!

The portions have shrunk but the prices have increased. Even if the menu says a price they will charge you differently. I understand that inflation has hit everyone but don't increase your price and reduce your portions. We ordered a boss burrito which was clearly less full than usual. It contained mostly beans. We also ordered chicken fajitas which were mostly peppers and thinly sliced chicken. This used to be one of our favorite places to eat but until they fix the issues we won't be returning.

What a lively Cinco de Mayo! Well worth the wait! Great host and staff! Authentic and fresh. Love the white refined beans. So flavorful. Best tamales I've had since childhood. Made authentically with masa and flavorful red sauce. Guacamole is housemate and fresh that's yummy too!

its not that I don't recommend this place... just wasn't the best ambiance or experience.first time here on a Wednesday in Jan.. shocked no one else came in between 430 and 530pm.went to wash my hands and the bathroom was disgusting, smelled awful and it was out of all paper products.the food itself was good ... hot and your typical vegetarian dish.My server was sweet and prompt which was a big plus in my booknot worth going out of my way again

Fantastic restaurant. The food was excellent with huge portions and the service was great. Luis was our server and he was very friendly and attentive. Many different flavor options for their jumbo margs. Will definitely be coming back.

Great food, great atmosphere. We were looking for a nice spot for Mexican food and El Toro Bravo was fantastic. Great prices and jumbo margaritas on a Saturday night for $7.99 were great too. They have a legend of a food runner too, he alone is worth the price of your meal. We will definitely be back

Service was ok, server was very sweet. However just be aware they will charge you for making your food to go and not tell you before hand. It's a small fee however I have never heard of a fee for having your food to go and I've worked in restaurants for over 5 years. Food is mediocre but not awful.

Place is clean, food was adequate.We had a large party of 16 people and they did a wonderful job to accommodate us. The service was very good. Couldn't have picked a better spot at such short notice.

I pass by El Toro almost everyday and finally decided to try it. I love Mexican food, so I considered myself a harsh critic going into this meal. The strawberry daiquiri was amazing. It tasted just like ones I get in Mexico, seriously! The queso and salsa had a good kick. I would probably pass on the guacamole. Not bad, but not special. I always order carnitas while trying a new restaurant. They were tender, flavorful, and a large portion. I was so happy with my experience and I'm waiting to go back.
