When you first walk in you feel that you were transported to Mexico. Decorations hanging from ceiling with nice Mexican decor. Seated immediately in a comfortable booth. The waiter took our drink order of water and a strawberry Margarita which was tasty. Warm crispy chips and salsa were served upon sitting. My husband and I both ordered the chicken chimichanga. The sauce was amazing and the white meat chicken was juicy. It was accompanied with refried beans and salad. We had to finish off the meal with fried ice cream. It was vanilla ice cream rolled in like corn flakes, whip cream, chocolate syrup served in a taco bowl shell. Wow!!

Citizens of Kentucky can rejoice as they no longer need to visit Mexico for excellent Mexican cuisine as El Torito is fantastico! Upon arrival I was immediately greeted and welcomed into a mexican vibe. Ordered a huge patron strawberry margarita at a super low price (see total ck attached) then warmed to crunchy chips with salsa. Then, migrated to chicken enchiladas filled with jucy white meat chicken.fantastic. Finished my fiesta with fried vanilla ice cream rolled in corn flakes with whipped cream sitting in a crunchy taco.

Everyone is pleasant. Salsa is tasty but could use a bit more heat. The margaritas were awesome. Medium is just the right size for a little fun. My enchilada verdes were delicious. If we lived close, we'd be back... but we live 4 hours away.

On a recent trip to Paducah we were looking for some local Mexican food for dinner. (This should come as no surprise to anyone if you're paying attention.) Wifey found El Torito was less than a mile from our hotel. Just how easy was that? It was a Friday evening and they were busy, but we walked in and were seated immediately. The menu at El Torito is ENORMOUS and, if I may, a bit intimidating. The décor is very bright, vibrant, and colorful. El Torito has a great party/fun vibe to it. I don't recall our server's name, be he was AWESOME. He joked with us and we had a great time. In no time we had a basket of fresh chips and salsa and our drinks. The chips were fresh as in "still warm" (the way they should be) and the salsa was On Point! There are several dining areas at El Torito. We were surround by quite a few people who were having a great time. Yea, it was noisy, but it was FUN noisy. It wasn't conversations you really don't care about noisy, like "I really didn't care to know about some strange lady's doctor appointment and by the way, she picked up some cottage cheese on the way home...and Eleanor, did you hear what Sheila said about Joanne! *Gasp* How could she even?!?!".". This was people having conversation over awesome food and a killer margarita noisy. I was fascinated by the Pollo Mango on the menu, and my fascination absolutely got the best of me. Grilled chicken breast topped with apricot and mango roasted chipotle sauce. It was the apricot and mango chipotle sauce that caught my attention more than anything. Fast forward about 10 minutes and our awesome server (whose name we either never got or don't recall) delivered our food. He did it with a smile, made a corny joke, made us laugh, and disappeared....only to return a couple minutes later with drink refills. The Pollo Mango was blow-my-mind awesome. The sweetness of the apricot and mango coupled with chipotle was something I never saw coming...and it was MAHVELOUS. Each and every staff member was hustling keeping things going. Whether is was delivering food, clearing tables, or seating incoming customers, this restaurant was constantly in motion. I know there's a Mexican restaurant in just about every town, and we've been to many, many, many, many......a lot of Mexican restaurants. It's the ones that stand out that make a difference. El Torito is absolutely one of the stand outs. I hope to visit here again some day.

We stopped here off I - 24 for lunch as recommended by several of you. They have a nice very reasonable lunch menu for weekdays. We were there on a Sunday. Portions are great and the food very tasty. I got the chicken fajita bowl. Lots of chicken rice, onions and green pepper . Was very tasty. Service is very efficient and lots of parking around.

Wonderful Tex Mex in the area. Been working in Paducah for a month and been here at least once a week. Great service and food. Don't skip the huge margaritas. Service is friendly and prompt.

Chicken cheese & Rice

They were very busy but we got in right away. The service was wonderful! The food came very quickly and it was delicious! I love the decor there as well. I always try something different each time I go and it's always really good. All of the employees were smiling and seemed happy to be there!

It's good, a lot of seating too. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends. Pretty typical Mexican joint, but the service is good.

This was a great place to stop for lunch. The service was excellent, very clean establishment and…read morethe drinks were excellent. The chorizo queso dip, chips and salsa were all very good. The carnitas burrito needed some spices or something, it wasn't bad just a lil bland. My wife had the steak chimichanga and said it was very good. Definitely would come back and recommend it. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the blandness of the carnitas

We came to eat here while we were in town house hunting [from Houston] and we're sadly…read moredisappointed. The margaritas were good [especially the mango with tajin rim] and I really enjoyed the ambience on the patio. But, the waitress didn't seem to know the answers to many of the questions I asked so she would go off to ask and then take awhile to come back and in one instance she forgot completely until after we paid the check [she was very kind, though]. We ordered the burrito and enchilada combo to split, which the menu described as having green sauce but it came out with red "sauce". I don't like red sauce and wouldn't have ordered a dish with red sauce, but this was more akin to the watery tomato juice you get out of canned tomatoes. The corn tortilla on the enchilada wasn't cooked and the chicken inside both items tasted like canned chicken. It was very flavorless overall. If we come back, it will be for drinks only.
