    Mexican food is FRESH. Better then any Mexican food I have ever had...unexpected in Portugal. Don't miss the fish tacos. Enjoy!

    Comparatively speaking, 'Hola Torito' (their new name) would get 9 Bombs (5 Stars) because Mexican…read morerestaurants in outside the USA are normally quite inauthentic and bad. This place actually has better Mexican than some stateside cantinas. Their Guacamole (€4) is quite good with fresh smashed avocado, plentiful in the Algarve as cultivation of the little, green delights has skyrocketed in recent years (weather similar to SoCal where avocado trees flourish), diced white onion and tomato, garlic, salt, and cilantro. An order comes with a basket of fresh, hot, crispy homemade tortilla chips (otherwise €3 w/ their tasty salsa, also made in-house). I have had their Enchiladas Rancheras (€10.90), which are pretty good, coming with rice and beans, but I prefer the crispy Gringos tacos (3 for €10.90) with ground beef, cilantro, cheese, pico de gallo, and guacamole as well as rice and beans. The Margaritas (€5) are excellent even though they could use a tad more tequila, but I recommend getting a Jarro (jug/liter ´€15) if purchasing three or more because you will get at least one additional margarita for the price. So often, even in the US, you get store bought tortilla chips which taste like crispy cardboard and Old El Paso prefab taco shells, but Hola Torito stands out by taking the time to make their own chips, salsa, and taco shells ... HOOAH! I cannot, in good conscience, give them 9 or 10 Bombs (5 Stars) because I know deep in my heart that this is not the best Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at, but by European standards, they do a pretty damn good job. The owners apparently lived in San Diego for a time and, fortunately for us, learned a few things about making authentic Mexican food ... Olé! CombatCritic Gives Hola Torito 7 Bombs Out Of 10 ... More Bombs Are Better!

    Small cosy place Smokers are outside, food is excelent…read moreIbrecommend the jug of magarita A nice place to visit
