We had reservations and were seated right away. We ordered a jalepeño margarita pitcher. The margarita was good but the jalepeños didn't do their part. We ordered a fresh guacamole bowl, which was quite tasty and jalepeño poppers. Again the jalepeños lacked a hot or spicy taste. Our entrees, a chimichanga, chori pollo and carne asada were delicious. Despite the lack of spice from the jalepeños it was a good meal. read more

Kind of gross. I ordered a deluxe burrito and it looked like throw up. Place sucks. That pretty much sums up this place. Yelp said I have to type more words to post this review. Sooooo this is me typing more words. In closing the food was gross. read more

Second time i come here and honestly this is just another Taco bell in disguise, will NOT be returning. Food is bland no wow factor. Drinks were below average since they use premade mix for their margs. The owners ( older gentleman with white hair & older middle age women) are also very money hungry, & rude! read more

We walked in about 8:15pm on March 10, 2026. They close at 10 on Saturdays. The hosted didn't great us, grabbed the menus started walking away so we followed even though not directed to she then threw them down one by one on the table and just walked away. I said thank you and she said welcome with an attitude. I sat down feeling uneasy and immediately decided to leave. I felt brushed off and disrespected. read more

Question: What does every parent who has to sit in a solid hour of musical performances need to be prepared? A drink! We've been eyeing this place for a while, and we had some time before a performance, and I'm so glad we came. I ordered a Chile Relleno with a margarita, and Hubs got a Cubra Libra with shrimp tacos. Everything was fantastic, and we will be back during spring concert season. read more

The staff is friendly & attentive and the food is great! Everything is seasoned perfectly! My husband had the Molcajete (Hot Stone). It came with Marinated chicken breast, steak, shrimp and Mexican sausage with green onions, cactus leaf on Oaxaca cheese all over. It was delicious! I had chicken tacos, which I thought I would be disappointed with because there was only chicken in the taco. It was served with lettuce & tomatoes on the side and I requested a side of sour cream. Boy was I wrong! These tacos were so good! They were season perfectly and cooked perfectly! I'm already planning to go back. If you're in Annapolis and want some amazing Mexican cuisine, definitely try El Toro Bravo. read more

Me my children and my mother stopped past here. Let me say it was great! A few minutes after we sat down we got chips and salsa. We also order like some nachos with meat and that came out really quickly. The service was really fast and the food was good. I would love to come back alone for happy hour I'm sure they have nice drinks. It was really clean inside. Only issue is they don't have street corn yet but it's a great place! I'll be back for sure! read more

Fantastic food. Attentive service. Best Mexican food in the area. Never disappointed with anything I've ordered.

Always excellent food, my mom and I especially love the Pork Chili Verde, never disappoints. The pork is abundant and so tender. The Verde sauce is so flavorful. The staff is very attentive. And now they have Happy Hour all day Monday, check out other times. I have been a customer for many years and rediscovered them on Riva Road. Never disappointed. read more

Food has seasoning but place is extremely empty. Assuming from price to value. Ordered chicken quesadilla but it came out as a half order instead. A little disappointed but taste was there. Won't be returning. read more

First off, your staff is extremely rude. I called ahead to ask if your location at annapolis was still open and was cut me off by saying "no, I'm located in riva road." And then hung up on. Secondly, when we arrive and sit to order with our server, my wife asked for a side of cheese to which our server did not respond. So when she Mentioned it again upon him bringing us our margarita, he said "yes, I already sent the order." Only to then turn around and say "this woman has asked me for her cheese for four times already geez." In Spanish, as if we didn't speak it. It's sad to see a restaurant go down hill as bad as it does. And when we mentioned to the server that that approach us rude, he merely waved us off and didn't bother giving us his name of the name of the manager. Truly a disgusting person representing your establishment that we used to visit so frequently. read more

Service was good but the food really was kind of lacking in fact it wasn't really very good at all I didn't think I thought their guacamole cheese is good there chips or not I'm more used to like hot fresh made out of the oven or whatever chips and the fajitas or nothing special overall it was just barely average read more

I do enjoy coming here. Just found it and went two days in a row. Alone and with the misses. Interesting décor and friendly staff. They have a decent bar as well . I've had the enchiladas Mexicano which is full of flavor. The chicken is well seasoned, the chili is mild and smooth. Could use a bit more heat. Served with lots of finely copped greens, guac, sour cream, etc. The refries are tasty, a bit overrefined, but wish they'd put more on the plate! The rice is tasty as well. The second meal was shrimp tacos with mango. The mango didn't really come through, but the overall flavor profile was pleasing. I'd recommend a mango salsa vice the mango in the crème. Enjoyed conversation with staff and look forward to visiting again. read more

Service was alright, food was alright and after seeing the review of being Taco Bell at best I will have to agree!!

What a wonderful authentic restaurant. The service is excellent! They are attentive and quick. The food is consistently outstanding. read more

We have been here several times and always have a good experience. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced. We usually come for lunch and have had the same server a few times, he's very friendly and polite. I had the El Toro dinner this time so got a good selection of different things and they were all really good, especially the chili relleno. read more

Great night with family - including young fussy kids. Love the food, loved the server who was very patient. Lots of room, didn't feel crowded or hurried. Manager did regular rounds checking how we were going. Margueritas were awesome. Highly recommended. Seafood chorizo, stuffed sweet peppers, and three soft beef tacos. read more

Ordered the ranchero steak and the colorado burrito. In a few words to describe it, simple and basic, the flavor was not anything out of this world and the rice and beans tasted very processed. I will say the the food arrived very fast and the service was very kind and polite. Ambience and decor were also kind of basic. Did not order any drinks, but the menu did look very fun. In conclusion, will not be back but not the worst experience. read more

The food was amazing. We've eaten here several times and we never had a bad meal. I got the Carnitas this time around and as usual, it was very good. The fresh guacamole was tasty and the Chile verde was very good. Although this restaurant is not as crowded as the one from DTA, the food is just as good. read more

Bomb service. Excellent margaritas! You won't be disappointed by what they have to offer.

The best Mexican in Annapolis. Make sure to order the Queso fundido and a margarita! read more

Super friendly staff and the food is delicious! The menu is extensive and I am indecisive, so our server recommended the molcajete, and I did not regret it. Huge portions, and within walking distance from our hotel, which was a major bonus. Will absolutely come back if I'm ever in the area again. Loved it! read more

Food was terrible. We are locals. First time we have been here and food was Taco Bell at best. We had a party of 4. We had 3 pitchers of margaritas top shelf at $50 each. Drinks were very subpar however the food was horrible.our bill was $300 for 3 pitchers of margaritas and 4 plates of tacos. I told the waiter he was very pleasant but the food was undesirable. He couldn't care less. Never will go back. $300 for some tequila and rice and beans is absurd especially if it's not good and they don't care. read more

The food could have been better. My husband ordered a Chicken Caesar salad, I mean how hard can that be to mess up, well they did. The salad was cold also ice, as if they took it out of the freezer placed it on a plate, and put the hot chicken on it. AWFUL!!! read more

When I first went to El Toro Bravo everything's was going good the food was alright being I just ordered chips a and some 3 drinks as well that's it !The staff was a little disorganized no biggie still got my stuff !But then out of no where me and my wife go to my car this guy no exaggeration I'm talking starts running towards my car in their parking lot .Me thinking it was somebody maybe on the streets and by my surprise it's a Employee from here .He was upset about the tip and was looking for a problem after I said "I see"He Thought I said F You to him and ran back towards me trying to make himself bigger .Just wanted a chill place to go to,Me being new to the area as well.Thank goodness I don't have to go back .... read more

The food is incredible, so authentic, cooked perfectly each time and always served in a timely manner. The service again is great, the waiter was always available and checked in at all the right times. Their margaritas are phenomenal- definitely check them out read more

Although there was plenty of sitting available, my date and I could not get a booth or table for two near a window. The food was mediocre at best and I have never paid more for a so-so margarita in my life. With all of the other Mexican restaurants in the area, this will probably be our last trip. Adios read more

every time a Great Meal! Today was the Seafood Chimichunga and out of this world. Everything fresh and hand made.

Run Away! We tried this place (Riva Road) after a Navy football game. The parking lot was pretty full, so we assumed it must be a good place. I'm assuming most of those cars belonged to the staff making all the noise in the kitchen, but having little success getting tasty food prepared, in a matter that approximates what was ordered. Chicken enchiladas showed up minus the chicken. Request for no lettuce on the tacos resulted in what I would call extra lettuce. Tasteless, bland food. I started to have doubts about my life choices regarding the salsa for the chips. At best,it was calories. Service was pretty lousy too. But it sounded like a party going on in the kitchen. Do yourself a favor. Eat anywhere else. read more

We had great service tonight and the food was excellent! We were impressed with the waiter. He was attentive and very fast at bringing drinks out. We had great fajitas and guacamole. The environment was quiet and easy for having conversation. We will be back! read more

Food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Ordered chicken tacos and a Margharita. Will be back!

My wife and I have visited El Toro Bravo several times. They have an extensive menu selection and we have not been disappointed with their food. Their house Margaritas are big and excellent. Their draft beer selection is good. We are not a fan of their free chips, but seem to pick away at them. Not sure if that is a plus or minus. We will be back. read more

Authentic Mexican food with an extensive menu. The dining room is well appointed with a full bar at the entry. Our server, Manuel knocked himself out to help us with suggestions. The house margarita was delicious. I had the beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas and it was excellent. read more

This is a new location on Riva Road by rt 665 in the old French restaurant. They've painted the building and decorated the inside with Mexican themes. Unlike the original location there are no dinner combinations at this location for dinner which was a must for us. Since we went right when it opened we did notice they are still working the kinks out - we were given wet menus with salsa drippings on them that were replaced, the water glasses were the size for children which caused them to be refilled often, and the food was just okay. It was surprising to us since the food at the original location on West Street is very good and a little cheaper. We will most likely not return since there are so many better options nearby. Maybe they will improve the service and food as time goes on? read more

I loved this place so much! The employees were very smiley as soon as we walked in and it immediately put me in a good mood. The tortilla chips were really good and the food was amazing too. I will really enjoy going here in the future! read more

Food was hot and generous. Small Guacamole was great. Flan was very good. Fajita's was hot and generous. Good but not great service.
