Honestly this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've eaten at. I ordered the choripollo and I was blown away. Very authentic ! Staff super friendly as well. read more

VERY poor bar service. The waitress/server, a total trainwreck. Poor service to begin with, forgetful, order not done right, then disappeared for such a long time we couldn't order more food, more drinks, or even get the check when it was time to leave. read more

Great food, and atmosphere, definitely a place to come to if you're craving Mexican food Chimichanga was superb, and the chips and salsa is free. read more

Our first time at El Toril. the food was very good, the generous portion of the tasty fajitas was only slightly offset by nearly nonexistent veggies. The carnitas were delicious, and again VERY generous portion. Service was a little slow and not attentive. Had to flag waiter down for tortillas that came with carnitas. All in all the food was good enough that we will be back! read more

Food was average at best. Dry Chicken and beef. Lack of flavor. Biggest issue is the price of a drink. Jim and Coke $10 each. WTAF a bottle cost under that. Talk about highway robbery. If that was a double pour that would of still been high. Anywhere else and that's a $3-4 drink at a high point. Will never go back. NEVER. bartender server didn't even check on me. I had to get my own silverware. read more

Great food and fantastic service! On our first visit to the restaurant, my husband and I met our server, Wendy, and the manager. They came over and chatted with us for a bit, and made us feel very welcome. The food portions were large, and very tasty. On some nights, they have karaoke- for extra fun! read more

Cool little family place in a mountain town in TN. Food was great! Nice big portions! Staff is friendly and have a good time! Don't forget the big margarita! read more

Prices are high and the food is not as good as other Mexican Restaurants around. Scottsboro AL has a few good ones. About 40 minutes away. Or Lemons in Hennegar AL is the most popular one. I ordered something listed as a salad. But when I got my dinner, it wasn't a salad at all. Strange. Staff was kind and efficient. read more

I went and there was a BABY COCKROACH in my cheese dip. I am allergic to cockroaches. Service was mid.

A hidden gem near a truck stop! El Toril boasts a large menu with a variety of options and combination platters. The chips are fresh and perfectly crunchy. The guacamole, salsa, and queso are very tasty! They serve a variety of large drinks including huge margaritas and a variety of beers. For my entree I chose a combination platter. The tostada was wholesome and stacked, but became soggy with the queso on my plate. The beef taco was well seasoned and the enchilada was yummy. I will be back! read more

El Toril Mexican Restaurant - Beef taco, tostada, and chicken enchilada. - Mexican Near Me - Kimball, Tennessee

The manager just insisted to me that tortillas do not come with the fajitas. Seems like a dumb fight to take up with people. Outside of my personal past experiences, if you google "fajitas" you will get the answer. So, here's 75 cents for tortillas, and a 1 Star review. Hope it was worth it. read more

I've made this a regular stop on my commute. I order the same thing - lost Cabo's (I think that's the name) grilled fish, shrimp & beans. I've ordered this dish about 5 times. When they're busy the fish and shrimp are overcooked. When they're not busy busy it's absolutely delicious. Another odd thing- you only get one napkin. I'm sure I could ask for more but leave an extra or have some on the table. Still recommend the dish but try it when they're not busy. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but bigger and nicer inside!! Diana was our waitress and so helpful and friendly. We were just passing through the town and stayed at a nearby Hampton hotel. read more

El Toril Mexican Restaurant - We had the chicken fajitas and taco salad. The chips and salsa were great. Ask for the green sauce! - Mexican Near Me - Kimball, Tennessee

The entire place was dirty and that made it worse when the hostess dropped silverware on the floor and then set it on the table.I asked for another set and she rolled her eyes at me and didn't bring one until I asked again.The server didn't write anything down,which is a great skill to have,except that 2 out of 6 orders were wrong.When he brought mine back,still wrong, I was told "the cook wants to make it this way".As we were leaving,my cousin overheard some servers talking.They must have assumed she didn't speak Spanish,as they were making jokes about her husband's height and size. read more

I've always had consistent meals here. The service is pretty good and the food always arrives hot and fresh. I love the house made guacamole it is so so good! I eat her several times a month with my mom and we have always enjoyed it. read more

Very good Mexican food at a good price. I got the enchiladas and burritos and both were delicious. The rice and beans were good and we enjoyed the chips and cheese dip. read more

Fun karaoke, great food and clean restaurant. I wouldn't recommend anything with ground beef (very gre

The margaritas were watered down. The chili relleno tasted like freezer burn. Could not have been fresh. The taco didn't taste like real meat in it. Went to Taco Bell after we left to get better tasting food. read more

Stopped by on a road trip through Tennessee. The food was excellent. I had the fajita quesadilla. Fast and courteous service.

The margaritas are horrid. They are watered down and warm. They taste like actual dish water. I could barely take two sips it was that undrinkable. The manager refused to take it off my check and the waitress didn't even offer to remake it. I would rate this place 0 stars if I could. read more

Great food and very nice employees. Love this place and if you stay at Best Western hotel their guests get 10 % off their meals!

We love the Tuesday lunch special with chicken and the sauce. It's enough that we bring the leftovers home and have them for dinner (one more reason to live it!) always good service and good food. read more

Great Mexican. Enjoyed chicken soft taco, tamales, chicken chimichanga, and a shrimp taco. All was really good. Cheese dip was really great. Had to wait a little for refill chips but other than that it was a great experience! read more

Excellent service at the bar. Food is always quick and hot. Chips and homemade salsa are so good you know the meal won't disappoint.

We popped into town to visit for the Cornbread Festival and wanted to grab a bite to eat before we made the journey back to Birmingam. A native friend suggested El Toril for a quick lunch. It was easy enough to find, located in the Wal-Mart shopping center right next to Goodwill. Upon entering we were greeted and seated rather quickly by a gentleman at the host stand. The only thing I found odd about the restaurant was the country music playing on the speakers rather than the typical Hispanic fanfare. Weird, right? Anyway, after we were seated a random woman came by and dropped off our chips and salsa which were of course free. She gave us two small bowls and a small plastic carafe of salsa. The salsa was surprisingly plesant. The tomatoes were thoroughly smashed and well seasoned. It has a slightly sweet finish which I really appreciated. Not long after, our waiter arrived to take our order. I opted for water with what I thought would be queso with chorizo and an avocado pico de gallo. The avocado pico was really refreshing. My only two critiques are that it had way too much lime juice and wasn't cut up very well. The queso wasn't queso at all but was a TON of chorizo with a bit of cheese all in a got plate with a few tortillas. It was a surprise but I love chorizo so I can dig it. To comment of the service, it was okay. After we received our food we didn't see the waiter much. Which was REALLY a bother when we needed our drinks refilled. As far as "Mexican" restauarants go this place is okay. It's your garden variety small town Mexican restaurant executed in a very mediocre way. Overall, it's a fairly good value for the money. read more

Got a take away order. Super fast and the food was great. The service was friendly and helpful. Recommend it.

Decent American Mexican at a very good price. House margaritas are also good especially with happy hour pricing. Worth the visit.

Love so many items on their menu and there are a lot! The servers try very hard and some have stuck through the pandemic in this local little restaurant. Very clean and management cares. Live music on Wednesday and karaoke on Thursday. Fun! read more

Not Mexican food at all. We need better restaurants in this area. No salsa, use ground meat.

Tonight I visited El Torril and loved the newly redecorated dining area. Service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious! It was a very fun and and yummy place to eat. read more

We've eaten here a few times and it's been great. Dining in the server was very attentive, had a few modifications to an entree and everything came out just as we wanted. "Pollo con queso" and fajitas are delicious! Take out was just as good! Definitely recommend and will keep coming back! read more

If your in Kimball tenni. And want a great meal this is the place . Would definitely come back .

After eating there, had severe stomach pains. After trip to hospital, lab tests, and CT scan I was given a diagnosis of severe food poisoning. read more

We stopped in on a Friday night on our way to Chattanooga. Having experienced quite a few different Mexican restaurants over the years, we were excited to give a new one a try. There was a line to be seated and we waited patiently. Then once we were sat, it was clear the server was busy so we waited patiently. It took 50 minutes for our food to come out though and that was super frustrating since we wanted to be in town at a decent hour. It took forever for the server to drop off the check too. I was ready to take-off and resorted to just leaving some cash on the table and hoping my estimate was accurate. If the food was exceptional, I wouldn't give it two stars. I order pork tips in salsa verde and the portion was WAY too small for the price of the plate. I've worked in kitchens for the past ten years and portion size shouldn't be a problem if you know the ticket time is above 30 minutes, much less closer to an hour. Anyway, I do not recommend. It wasn't good. It took forever. Even for a Friday. read more

Worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to in my life, if I could give it negative stars I could. I ordered I dish I've gotten many times at hundreds of other places and they royally f***** it up. I've lived in Arizona, California and stayed with my family in Mexico and I've never had such bad food or service. My boyfriend and I waited for an hour we only got 1 glass of water each, chips or salsa, the margarita frozen wasn't even frozen it was on the rocks and disgusting. The manager tried to argue with us several times and was super rude. NEVER COMING BACK. read more
