    2.5 stars I'm all about trying new restaurants out but I'm So confused on why people think this is a 4 or 5 star place! As if Orange needed yet another Mexy Resturant.......brought my mom here for lunch only because we hadn't tried it before and 3 out the 4 reviews raved how good it was. My opinion, BLAND BLAND BLAND. My mom ordered the 7 layer dip b4 I arrived and even though it was HUGE, it was disappointing and 75% beans. The CCQ (chili con queso) had zero flavor, same thing with their chk fajita meat. Everything was underwhelming, boring and didn't taste like anything! Should have figured something was up when we were only the 2nd table there at 1pm. The best thing of the meal was the salsa AND I really didn't even like it that much lol. Glad we tried it but def will not be back; Casa Ole is higher of the Mexican food chain than this place.

    Shrimp Enchiladas ! What a joke ! First and last time coming here !

    I love their taco salads soooo good and the best sweet tea! They may work and serve a little slow but the food is always good.

    I [heart] Senor Toro…read more As I write this review, it's a few hours before I fly back to the Land of Fruits and Nuts. It has been such a relief to have a real date with my wife: sitting down in a restaurant for an hour to rebond with each other and enjoy good food. You still can't do that everywhere in Vidor: Dairy Queen is still locked down. But you can be normal at Senor Toro. On the other hand, the experience isn't as good if the food is awful. Senor Toro is great. The Hunny had beans & nachos, and I had the Big Juan Burrito. The menu says "Serious eaters only", and that caught my interest. Our server wasn't sure that this beanpole could finish it all, the Hunny assured her that I have two hollow legs. I got a 12 inch burrito loaded with beef and rice, including beans and tomatoes and peppers, covered with spicy melted cheese. I've had Mexican food in Los Angeles, and Senor Toro's food is up to that level in quality. Juicy tasty beef, solid rice, nice cheese, all put together right. And yes, I finished it all. Total hit: $22. Another reason to eat here: The more we eat in restaurants that opened their dining rooms, and not at those that keep them closed, the sooner this mess will be all over. I admit, though, it was a little jarring to eat authentic Mexican food while hearing country music. Senor Toro, a fantastico place to eat Mexican food half a mile north of I-10.

    Basket Of Sopapillas to my understanding was supposed to be served with powdered sugar and honey I…read moregot some & absolutely nothing on them
