We were heading to what we thought was a New Mexican Restaurant in Newark and upon arrival learned it wasn't a restaurant but rather a liquor store. Ugggg. Not to be deterred we decided to try El Gran Torino's based off of the reviews that their Chips and Salsa were a must try. Greeted warmly. Seated quickly. Their salsa is tasty. It has a hint of onions and cilantro and possibly garlic. It's chilled and perfect for a hot Texas Sunday. It's not a spicy salsa though but nonetheless is still very good. Their chips are light and crispy. Our favorite. Their queso is a whole other story. It's absolutely delicious. Cheesy (and not that fake cheesy taste either). It's good. Has little chunks of green chilis, not spicy though but yet tasty. We absolutely loved it. My sis ordered Flour tortillas tacos with Ground beef. She added sour cream. Her's arrived hot but was missing the sour cream. We both loved the refried beans. I ordered their Fajita Grilled chicken Torito'se burrito (customized). Added sour cream and queso to go inside the burrito and asked them to go light on the beans and rice. It also has onions and green peppers. You then request the topping and I went with their Verde Sauce. Mine arrived hot! Like my sister absolutely loved the refried beans. This burrito is HUGE and was prepared exactly as requested. I couldn't eat it all and took over half home to enjoy it later. Service was good but we did run out of chips and had to wait longer than one should. (Queso got cold) I usually don't comment on my drinks but their Tea was surprisingly refreshing. I asked for a full glass of ice and a 1/4 sweet and 3/4 unsweetened. It arrived perfectly and was a major thirst quencher! Did I mentioned the chips? They have a runner bringing it out but as mentioned above they need to do better on replenishment. A great Tex Mex experience overall. read more

Cozy little place for fajitas and margaritas! They have a patio where you can sit and relax, there is a larger side room for parties and an even larger event hall attached. This is our go-to for a quick bite and a nice place to visit with friends. You can even get margaritas to go! read more

Walked in around 3:30pm and stood at the door for 5-10 minutes with no one greeting me. Finally got sat down but then took another 5-10 for someone to take my order. I came to have a couple beers and watch the soccer game. Had to order 2 beers whenever the waitress finally came around. Saw another couple get up and walk out bc they waited so long with no service. Prices were good and the fajitas another table ordered smelled incredible. There was only like 6 tables seated so no clue why the service was so delayed read more

Excellent service and food . The manager is on top o it all . Outstanding quality. And service..5 star in my book . The Enchiladas are fantastic read more

El Gran Torito's - Enchiladas. - Mexican Near Me - Azle, Texas

Food was good service was fast and the server checked on us several times to ensure we had everything we needed orders all came out correctly read more

Fajitas had exactly 9 small pieces of meat, you'll be charged separate for michelada mix and beer and the michelada mix isn't good. Insanely overpriced for mediocre food and drink read more

My family had the worst experience at this place. The lack of customer service is crazy. Management sucks.. won't be back.

Derive is terrible. Slow, thrown to the wolves for training it seems. Can't multitask, 4 trips to get chips and drinks for two. Hostesses also waitress. Hour half to get serviced and fed Flies all over, nasty. All windows haven't been cleaned since they opened. Can't make mixed drinks Training and clean up needed. read more

El Gran Torito's - Mexican Near Me - Azle, Texas

This is the best Mexican food that I've had since being in Texas! The queso is huge and absolutely delicious. I got the chicken fajita chimichanga which was full of flavor and I loved that the fajita veggies were added. The chicken inside was tender and very fresh as well. Will be returning! 10/10 read more

The food has been good & hot & delivered in a timely way. I like the food & the waiters & waitresses are very nice !

I live close so it's definitely a win for us. It's not the greatest, but it's okay for small town Mexican food. The margaritas are the bomb. read more

Our favorite place in town!! Margaritas are outstanding. Great prices. Great portions. Sancho tacos are amazing! Man friend loves the Steak a la Mexicana. We haven't had one bad experience with service yet. Restaurant is clean, has a bar and great little patio. read more

Very good food and friendly staff. We had a big party and staff treated us like we were at a family dinner table. thanks for everything. I Definitely will return read more

This was the second time we stopped here and it was good. Not great, but very good. My wife and I split the Chili Relleno grilled poblano pepper filled with cheese covered in ranchero sauce. It was very good. Our daughter-in-law had the Texas salad. The frozen margarita was good. It was all good but just short of great! We also had the flan with sauce and it was below average. read more

I have eaten here many times and it can be a hit or miss. I just left after a miss and will not be back. Azle has a real good Mexican food restaurant downtown and is my go to now. I went in by myself on a Friday night and a little busy but had quite a few waiters. I sat and sat and sat without anyone even acknowledging I was sitting there. Many waiters/waitresses kept passing me by but no one stopped. Even a lady kept walking by who looked like the owner or manager but ignored. This was all in a good amount of time I sat there and finally got up to leave. There was still no acknowledgement and when walking by the cash register I told the two hostess standing there I was never waited on and they just smiled like it happens a lot. I don't expect immediate service but eventually someone come by, acknowlege me, and maybe ask for my drink order in a reasonable time. Maybe it was because I was a solo table. read more

I came for lunch on a wednesday. Service was good and speed of service was great. I ventured out and tried something I had never eaten and I am extremely impressed!! The flavor is very good. The guacamole is perfect!! I will definitely be back in the future. read more

El Gran Torito's - Beef tips in a tomato sauce with onion, jalapeno, cilantro and potatoes. Double rice and flour tortillas! - Mexican Near Me - Azle, Texas

What a surprise! this place was delicioso!! not your typical Mexican restaurant, here you taste every flavor of the food on your plate. The portions are generous and our waitress was attentive and sweet. There was no wait time and that made dinner so much better for a Saturday evening. If we're ever in Azle again El Gran Torito's is on our list. read more

Great place for margaritas and appetizers. Wide range of food options, portions are great!

Food was okay, I can't say it's the best that I have had in the area but it was hot. The home made chips and tortillas were by far the best part of the meal. If your looking for a good meal, a good atmosphere, and a friendly service, give Torito's a chance. Only complaint I have is the ribs on the El Vaquero plate were lacking. They did taste like they had been sitting all day waiting for me to order them, dry and covered with sauce to try to re-moist them. read more

DON'T TRUST THEIR HOURS. Not on Yelp, not on their web site, and no response to a "contact us" email. We were looking forward to a weekend breakfast, they do good food, and we are limiting our restaurant visits to outdoor patios. They have a very cute one with only a few tables. Forget it today. They may open at 11-10 on Tues-Saturday, 10 am on sunday (painted on their door, current?). read more

We tried this place for the first time and thought it was quite good, basic Tex Mex. My wife had fajita enchiladas, and I had the enchilada combo: one with salsa verde and two with queso. All tasty, including the chips and fresh tasting salsa. Our server was very sweet and attentive. We'll definitely be back! read more

I love this place. Some of my favorite nights out started with a stop here. People really do make the difference.

It's a great quaint lunch spot, dinner not so much my favorite, appears someone was intoxicated when they installed the bar lol you feel like you are about 4 feet tall and it's very cumbersome to try to have an appetizer much less a drink at the bar, so not a bar stop. The margaritas are good and as I said lunch has never let us down, I am glad to have them in Azle just not for date night. read more

The absolute worst experience. Waitress kept forgetting stuff we asked for. Then we ordered queso which did not arrive until the food came out so we cancelled it. They brought it out any way stating "the person who usually makes it isnt here, it's better when they are here" then proceeded to light it on fire and the waitress with the LONGEST fingernails starter spooning the tequila laced queso into tortillas. Um, ew THEN I asked for shredded cheese..... she charged me for it!!!!! No where did it say that was extra. That cheese was you trip, sweetie We will never be back. read more

Stopped in at 5:45 pm, at 6:53 pm we still did not get our food. Went to the manager to ask what's happening, she was rude and said we haven't been here that long. Has no idea how to manage an issue. Left without eating. I wouldn't come back here for nothing. Even tried to make us pay for it as well. read more

Well the service was much better this time around. Before it was a bunch of kids playing around with each other. The food was also better and tasted fresh. The beans were a bit mushy but had a good flavor to them. The rice wasn't overly spicy with just a touch of seasoning. The ground beef could have used a bit more seasoning but overall it filled the enchiladas nicely. The corn tortillas did not seem to hold their texture as they should have. The verde (green) sauce had just enough oomph to give it that special kick. The queso appetizer had just enough spices to give it a mild zing. Even better was the 20% off coupon for checking in on the Yelp app on the appetizer. For Tex-Mex when you're just north of Azle, stop in and give it a try. read more

Tacos Pacificos were amazing and the vegetables that came with it were cooked to perfection! Couldn't go wrong with the $3 Dos Equis special either. read more

This place overall is good, but lately it has been hit or miss. I ordered to go. I am not sure if there is a new cook but my rice and beans both have been extremely salty. The charro beans are so salty I can't even eat it. I ordered the fajitas for 2 which were good. The steak quesadillas were also yum, but the sides way too salty. The enchiladas with verde sauce were ok but didn't seem to have much of any verde on the enchiladas. read more

Great margaritas. Loved the fish tacos. Very flavorful. The enchiladas verde were really good as well. I try a different menu item every time I come here. Everything is always very good. Highly recommend!! Services is also very good. read more

Great food great service consistently. I'm from New Mexico and it gives me a little bit of a taste of home.

Was extremely skeptical at first glance but was extremely pleased waitress was super nice and attentive. The queso was spot on Thanks to all the staff I live in Parker county but I will return here read more

The waitress by the name of Arial was so pleasant and friendly to our little ones and she was on top of things. Food was pretty good we would come here again. read more

The food is great and the staff is friendly! (Just don't order online, as stated in a previous review). read more

I had the fish tacos (yumm) good flavor Highly recommended! Good selection on menu. Clean, Friendly read more

A solid choice! I have never had a bad meal here. We have been going for years. You won't find better salsa.

Probably as close to authentic Mexican food in Azle. We had the flautas and enchiladas tasted great. Service was also as good as it gets in Azle. read more

I hate to write bad reviews, but maybe someone there cares. Bad service and cold food a little while back, but we decided to give them another try. Wrong choice. Again bad service and cold food. Waited 45 min to eat. Took 15 minutes just to get something to drink. And we went on an off time when it wasn't busy. I would give them credit for being short staffed, but all the employees seemed to be taking their time to move around. We won't go back. read more

Great atmosphere, awesome staff, and most importantly fantastic food. Best margaritas and fajitas around. Highly recommend! read more
