I have traveled all over and I love ceviche.This place has the absolute best ceviche I have ever had,, on top of that their salsa is delicious and perfect temperature. Each time I have come in the waitstaff has been kind and courteous getting my food out promptly… And can we talk about their mixed drinks,, both strong and delicious and Omg y’all gotta try their flan, so creamy and good.. The music is playing at a perfect tone in the atmosphere.Here is wonderful, definite.Five out of five would recommend to anyone

This has been our first and only experience but I’m so disappointed in El Toro. Before anyone gets upset…..Yes, I did contact them. But I’d like to warn anyone who may want to have a party there…..
I had spoken with the restaurant through email and facebook to set up a taco bar for a 16th dinner party (2 adults, 13 teens). We walked in just before 6pm for our 6pm reservation and were met with blank stares. The restaurant was empty. No one was sure what was going on. Someone from back said they’re the party and we were walked into the “party room” – it looked NOTHING like the website. It was “repainted” but the whole place felt dirty and disorganized. There was a huge hole in the ceiling with buckets underneath and while we were eating, more of the ceiling fell. The tables were sticky, it was mismatched tables and crooked chairs, the ceiling was literally falling down, and to top it off, the tables weren’t even set up in a way that would accommodate the whole party. It wasn’t set up for us at all (I did let them know a final headcount the night before so that the seating would be arranged.) As we were trying to seat 15 people, 4 waitresses came in to get drink orders. It was very chaotic. It ended up that 2 of the girls had ordered large bowls of queso (they’re 15) from a random waitress and they brought it out. This was not supposed to happen as there was a set menu. I did order a large queso (because who can have a taco bar without it) and ordered a $23 catering size. When the bill came, I had $40 in queso charges. There was also a catering fee (I was told it was for the chafing dishes, supplies, personnel but it would be waived if I had a waitress and paid the gratuity) – I of course paid the 18% in gratuity, then added cash, pieces of cake and cookies for the staff. When I asked about the catering, the waitress said she couldn’t take it off. I asked through the FB messenger along with my concerns of the roof falling, sticky tables, etc. and was told that that wasn’t true that I used ONE chafing dish so of course there was a catering fee. That’s not what was said or agreed upon beforehand at all.
I’d also like to say that the waitress was fantastic. She was working our room and the bar/tables, which was a lot! I did mention the ceiling to her and she told me there was a leak. I get it, but then move the party somewhere else. There were plenty of people waiting around beforehand that should have noticed it and set the party up somewhere else. It wasn’t my responsibility to request that.
Here’s my big issues: it’s bad enough that the space was completely misrepresented; it was worse when a ceiling tile fell down while we were sitting there eating (and the FB msg person tried to tell me that it wasn’t an issue, the tile didn’t fall, and it wasn’t true but please see pics), but then the additional costs and brush off are just annoying and rude.
I’m a single mom so this party that was supposed to be about around $200 ($10/per person) ended up being over $325. The food was fine but it tasted like every other Mexican restaurant in town, nothing special. It was our first and unfortunately our last at this establishment.

Not important but also annoying: I also forgot to give them my phone number (that was attached to the reservation) when the bill came since they have loyalty points. When I asked about it later, I was told that they couldn’t add it because it was considered a catering order (but if I had ordered online, I would have gotten the points).

A friend told me El Toro Mexican Restaurant served Pozole Verde…something I’ve been searching for in Murfreesboro. I arrived and my server Raquel got me set up with a beer and brought me some chips and salsa. The Pozole Verde is HUGE, enough for three people because I was only able to make a small dent in it. The chips were crispy and the salsa surprised me, great flavor! The Pozole is a rich stew loaded a solid green tomatillo/chile broth, shredded chicken, hominy, while you add the sides of radish, lime juice, lettuce, cilantro, and onions. The spice level (I am a wimp) on this stew is close to the top of my range causing some sweating and sniffles.

The downside…the furnishing could use some rehab. Upside…good food and service, I’ll visit again to try their Birria Ramen.

Great experience! We came in with a large group and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive the whole time. They handled our table with ease, kept everything organized, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Excellent service and a very welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

I ordered to go. 6 ground beef tacos, flour shell. Has tooo much ground beef, very lil onion and very greasy. I used the chips to eat the tacos because my shells literally broke and very soggy. Spent a total of $26

This place is the greatest of all time. The margarita was 2.99 and quite tasty. The bean dip was ridiculously large. The salsa bar was full of spicy and tasty salsa. I enjoyed my taco and enchilada as well. Our server was nice too and gave us recommendations as to which salsas to try.

We can here the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was somehow dead.

I would absolutely come back here.

This place is excellent

We decided to try somewhere other than Camino. We were seated right away. The chips and salsa here are WAY better than Caminos! We didn’t find the food to be better. It didn’t have much flavor and they give way less meat. I ordered what I typically do at Camino here to compare. Taco salad. El Torro gave wayyy less meat and the shell was weird and bendy/ not crunchy. It really wasn’t edible. (See video) The food just didn’t have good flavor and the service wasn’t good. Chips were never refilled, waiter didn’t come by, waiter wasn’t very friendly. At Camino, the waiters are always soooo nice. My son wanted to try here and I went in with an open mind and was super hopeful at the beginning because the salsa is soooo good, but left disappointed that I paid more and received less food AND was charged $1 to put my sons pico on the side. Very weird. Wouldn’t recommend or go back.

My son and I came in tonight for some tacos and queso. The service was okay. At one point there wasn’t an employee in sight for a long time. We weren’t the only table looking around for our server. The big issue was the food. Everything tasted meh, but my son’s ground beef tacos tasted spoiled to the point he didn’t want to eat them. Like the meat was a few days old. I’d told our server and she did end up taking it off the bill, which I appreciated. About an hour after we ate, we both started throwing up and had terrible stomach pains. The restaurant is beautiful and the drinks looked delicious, but we won’t be returning.

To be blunt, the $3 margaritas got me through the door. The fantastic staff and flavorful food keeps me here. It’s obvious to me the management is good to the employees, as the servers are always in good spirits.

The food is definitely made here and not “Sysco Mexican” which happens at a lot of places. There are great flavors but my go to when I just don’t want to eat is their side of grilled chicken. It comes out hot, juicy, with good flavor. No matter what else is going on with life, that’s my favorite comfort food.

Oh the margaritas are just right. Boozy enough to hit but aren’t a knockout punch. Plus there’s flavor of the mix, not too alcohol-y. Two will get you going and three will get you wobbly.
