I have eaten here a few times and the food, service, atmosphere and drinks are amazing! Im kind of glad i live so far away, otherwise I’d be here every couple of days! I recently had a catering order and Rene was so helpful and responsive. Delivered the food for me right on time and everything was amazing!!! My guests raved about the food the entire time and even into the next day. My father is hard to please and was the biggest fan! I cant recommend El Toro enough! The horchata was so good and the birria was our favorite. But that jalapeno cream sauce… i put it on everything! We cant wait to come back!

EL TORO!!! My favorite taco spot in the city. Always fresh! Always delicious! Always REAL! Can’t go wrong with anything honestly. I have had every taco and enchilada they offer. Take your pick you won’t be disappointed. Burritos are fat no gimmicks. Best El Pastors in Delaware and i’ll stand on that! Corn or Flour tortilla for preference. The dine-in experience is AUTHENTIC Mexican vibes! Love the colors and decorations!! Patio dining at night time is awesome! Take out is fast and easy!! Tonight, I went with… Birria Tacos, Rice, And Carne Asada Fries. Absolutely Amazing!!! If you’re looking for a quick lunch, El Toro has a smaller spot down the block and they do a fast service. If you’re looking for a night out and a tasty dinner stop in the actual restaurant and experience it. The staff is friendly and attentive. I treat people with respect and they treat me the same. If I don’t eat in and do take out I still tip and you should to. Do yourself a favor. Stop taking your wife or girlfriend to the Taco Bell chump. I seen you in that line. Come experience what REAL TACOS are. You’ll be back lol. Also try the fried cheesecake … ITS AMAZING!!! Highly recommend.

This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. Although they are short staff Claudia was super fast with every that was asked for and the owner was also helping. I love the music and the customer service is always 10/10. The food is always on point never missing any spices or flavors. My go to is the fajita salad. Never been disappointed coming here ever. Check them out!!
