    This place was recommended by the staff at the Hampton Inn property across the street. I love Mexican food so having a restaurant in walking distance was a plus. I used Door Dash to place a to go order because they gave me $10 off, and I was happy to accept it. Ordering online was easy and I headed over about 10 minutes after ordering to make sure I picked up hot food. The restaurant was quick and I got a text saying my food was ready for pick up as I got to the door. The staff that greeted me and gave my food were very friendly. When I got back to my room I was pleasantly surprised to have a large bag of chips along with salsa, not part of my order so I guess they threw them in on takeout orders. I'd ordered the Chori Pollo with a side of extra cheese sauce and everything was in order including plastic utensils. Lots of food and three warm tortillas with a separate container of beans and rice. Everything about the experience was great except the chicken. The beans and rice were good, as was the tortillas. Unfortunately the chorizo they used was so salty it overpowered everything else. The chicken was good, but the amount of salt in the sauce was overwhelming so I couldn't eat much of it. I made some bean and rice tacos with the tortillas and cheese sauce and ate chips but overall disappointed with the quality of the main dish. Just passing through so won't be back but if I'm ever in the area again I'll likely not stop here for another try.

    The service was great and the lady chartered to us. Chip and salsa was delicious and I had the quesabirria tacos which were absolutely tasty. Great spot to have food. The margs are made strong and the spot is nice and clean which was perfect since I was there with a friend. Keep it up!!

    Stopped in as I'm staying at the hotel across the street. Place was moderately busy for a Tuesday evening. The place is clean and more modern, outdoor patio has potential but the air outside today is too warm to sit outside. So I can in and at the bar, there was no clear bartender, seemed like several waiters/waitresses were getting/making their own drinks. As a result it took a while before anyone asked me if I needed anything. Service overall was a little slow despite seeming like enough staff. However, I must admit both the Pina Colada and Ultimate margarita had plenty of booze! Chips and Salsa were good overall, chips warm and fresh and the salsa was fairly think with a nice spice to it. I ordered the Pollo Supremo as it sounded solid, Chicken with Jalapeños and onions in a mushroom cream sauce (ordered mine no onion). Honestly, this dish was delicious. The chicken was seasoned very well, the jalapeños were grilled to perfection, and the cheese covering it all balanced it nicely. I see several other "not great" reviews, but the food and drinks were awesome tonight. Service could have been better but the booze ratio in the drinks helped push this to a 5/5!

    El Toro is a quintessential "just ok" Mexican restaurant. The food is decent, and the selection is fair, but you're not particularly getting an amazing deal or having some fantastic food. You'll find all the standard Mexican restaurant staples here, as well as a few more authentic favorites. As mentioned earlier the food is fine, but nothing to write home about. The staff is friendly and happy to help you with the menu, accommodate times you need to make decisions, etc, and one big benefit of the location seems to be that you can more easily reserve for larger parties. Finally, I'll say it's a big deal to find a good Mexican restaurant in the midwest -- with El Toro, you've satisfied part of that trick... but the other part and more important part... It's worth exploring other areas to see if you can find more compelling food and a more interesting experience.

    My wife and I had the fajitas. Portions were large and sizzling hot; the food was good. Margaritas were good also. I recommend this place.

    Service was great and very fast. We had fajitas for two, it was tasty and there was so much we couldn't finish it all.

    I haven't been in about 6 months. The new prices are keeping us out of restaurants. We live off…read moreof my SS which is ok but you have to pick your battles and I'm a pretty accomplished cook so cooking at home is no problem. I do miss DR and in fact go into somewhat of a case of DT's every time I drive past it. I'm going to have to drop in soon. In the 25+ years we've been going there never once have we had a bad experience. However it's best to avoid during U of I home games.

    My husband, 2 year old, and 4 year old decided to try out this restaurant. I ordered my children…read more(from the kids menu) two chicken quesadillas. Our waiter said to us "the grilled chicken quesadilla?" I said yes because there was only the one chicken option on the kids menu so I assumed that's what he's talking about. After we got our bill we were charged $2 extra for each kid because of the way the chicken was cooked. I asked him what the modification up charge was for and he said it's because I asked to have the grilled chicken and I said I never asked for that I just pointed to the kids chicken option and he said that. (Again I had no idea there's more than one option of cooking the meat for my 2 and 4 year olds meal). He told me he would be right back. At this point no one is angry. He came back with the manager who asks what the problem is and I told her the same thing I was unaware of the modification up charge and she then said everyone just knows that and it doesn't need to be put on the menu because everyone just knows. I said we've never been here before, how would I know that and she then decided to question if I was lying to her and questions if I'm lying to her while rolling her eyes and smirking at me, and says whatever and walks away to make the adjustment. After I went to go pay, I confronted her saying that was very rude to question if I was lying to her and to roll her eyes at me. She then continued to laugh at me and roll her eyes and say what do you want me to do, just leave. I have never had someone who I'm assuming is the manager be so rude before. I guess make sure you are not being charged for something random because if you want it taken off you will be laughed at and called a liar for not just knowing it's an up-charge. Also the food was just okay.

    Dos Reales Mexican Restaurant - This is what I had. The chicken flautas. Rice, beans and salad all freshly cooked and the meat was excellent.
