Description

The short story is that El Toreador is owned and operated by three brothers, Mark, Eric, and Wayne. It was originally opened in the fall of 1979 by their Mother. Mark has promised that he will sit down with his mom and get the full story "real soon" for posting Morehere, including the origin of her incredible recipes. So the next time you drop in for lunch or dinner ask your server (which will likely be Mark, Wayne, or Eric) when they are going to get their story on the web.

  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Jena D. at Yelp User Review11/28/2012Service was outstanding. Our server went above and beyond for us. This was a busy night for the place. Clearly, the kitchen sank. Our food took so long to get to us. We waited thirty minutes for a table. And another hour for food. The dinner was pretty forgetable. Normally, I would only give them one star. … Read full review

Matador was a 30 minute wait, and it's never worth a 30 minute wait in that pompous mess, so we went across the street. Sometimes you just want some guac and a drink. Waiter was friendly and fast. Food was out fast. It was nice … Read full review
  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Franz L. at Yelp User Review11/5/2012mixed feelings on this place... the wait staff comprises of mostly older white males, which there is nothing wrong with that, but lets say if I walk into a Korean BBQ place, I don't really want a German dude taking my order if you smell what I'm smoking.... The food is not bad, it's kind of hit and miss.... I've … Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Mike S. at Yelp User Review10/30/2012I am afraid of reviewing El Toreador because it is already too crowded on a Friday night but here it is. This restaurant is my favorite American-style mexican food joint - don't come here expecting authentic mexican food but what they do they do really well. From the unusually thick chips, to the strong … Read full review
  • Rating: 2.0 out of 5"by Jeni G. at Yelp User Review10/25/2012I have been here a lot of times. Most of the time the service is minimal, especially bar service. Being in the industry I have short patience for a bartender who can't be bothered to help the only 2 customers in the bar and can be seen talking to co-workers or on phone. This was not a single event. They have a … Read full review
