I just don't understand why DoorDash has a 4.7 star rating for this place. My tortilla chips were burnt. My enchilada had a red sauce that tasted like spaghetti-o's. The beef was extra greasy. I won't be giving this place another chance even if ratings are high. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the area that have better food. read more

Food was good and the location was decent looking,it wasn't to loud or quiet, but was charged an extra eight dollars from the waitress that served me /legal terms : theft/credit card fruad The waitresses name is Marie and will not be dining at this location again. read more

Service was bad. The waitress disappeared for extended periods or time. She never offered to get us more drinks. Basically, she delivered the food and didn't return. She never asked if we needed anything else. Just handed us the food and split. I had to get up and find someone to ask for more guacamole. The fajitas had no spice or taste. My 2 yr. Old grandson said yuck to the cheese quesadilla. That's pretty bad. We will not ever return here. Don't waste your money. read more

I'm giving this place a 5 solely on the vibe and the staff being so friendly. It was really quiet inside which I love but we def need to get this place some business. Overall the food was mid for Mexican nothing terrible to say, it's not Mi Pueblo or Don Taco standards but none the less it was great and I'd come here for the vibe alone. read more

El Toro - Photo of the most delicious mushroom quesadilla I've ever had no joke. That thing was slammed with cheese and natural mushrooms. - Mexican Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

I loved my first visit here. Service was quick and nice, free chips were warm and salsa was good. Menu is huge. Whatever you might want, or whatever combination of items they have it. I loved the chicken fajita quesadilla. It was huge and had so much chicken. Price was amazing for what we got. Where else can you get a $11.99 authentic combo meal on a weekend? The decor is authentic, though a bit old. It was quiet in there for a Saturday dinner! read more

Big servings, hot and tasty. Quick service and clean restaurant. Couldn't ask for more in a mid-level Mexican restaurant.

Even though they seemed to be short staff, our waiter did well. I ordered the taquitos that came with two of chicken and two beef. The chicken was dry. My friend ordered a dish with chicken. She felt like the chicken was rubbery. My husband ordered the shrimp Camarones and he felt like the rice and beans were better. read more

Those reviews that bash this place have obviously never ate here. 5 stars for food! 5 stars for service especially Luis! 5 stars for ambiance! I've ate here more times than I can remember. Absolutely awesome every time. We've tried several different dishes and always had great food. I highly recommend El Toro. By far the best Mexican food in Brighton!! Seriously, someone ordered chicken nuggets at a Mexican restaurant and someone complaining about red sauce on enchiladas Taco Bell that way read more

Only premixed margaritas.... which tasted like all sour mix. Will not be going back....no option for margarita only lime or texas which was the same mix, but pre-made with grand marnier.. read more

Went here for the 1st time with my family and the food, service and surrounds were awesome! Look forward to returning again soon.

Don't ever go here I ordered chicken nuggets and fries and I ate them and I threw up a few minutes later. Do not go here. I wasn't there but the service I'm guessing not good but do not go here. It sucks. 1 star read more

The amount of food they serve you is ridiculous!! I ordered Molcajete. It's like fajitas in a bowl. AMAZING!! I couldn't stop eating! I'll have leftovers for days. They also have a food truck we hit up at the Taco Fest in Royal Oak. Just as good and the tacos are over stuffed with goodness. Same amazing taste!! Can't wait to go back. read more

I used to go to a location in Oakland County when I used to live out there, so when I discovered there was one in Brighton I was so excited! El Toro has some really delicious food, a liquor license, and reasonable prices. It sounds kind of crazy but my absolute favorite thing they have is just a cheese quesadilla dipped in their salsa. I never order quesadillas unless I'm here... there's just something about the flavor of the cheese with that salsa that is perfection. Everything else I've ordered has been in point too though! read more

Nice place! Fast and efficient, staff is friendly and helpful. Only problem I see is the name on the outside is El Toro??? We found that in a Google search... I hope you find it either way. The food is plentiful and the atmosphere is festive. Nice bar, lots of TV's to enjoy margarita and soccer! read more

There's not many Mexican places in the area, but this one is my go-to for good, reasonably priced food. I believe they are recently under new management, and that is a good thing! On tuesdays the tacos on special are authentic - made with corn tortillas, onion & cilantro. Previously, it was a sad hard shell taco with just meat. On tuesdays and Wednesday's, margaritas are 1/2 price all day. I'm giving 4 stars because the tamales were terrible, the masa was flavorless and had a strange texture. However, I do recommend the fajitas! read more

Awesome food and service. The tacos de carne asada are my favorite. Best guacamole we have had at a restaurant. Food is always hot and fresh. This is our go to Mexican restaurant! read more

After a long day, having good beer and good food soothes the soul. I got the steak and shrimp and it was tender. Meat was thin sliced. Wifey had the veggie taquitos which she devoured everything. We enjoyed what we got. Enjoyed the never ending chips and salsa. Not bad at all. Service was very attentive but not overly attentive. Restrooms have paper towels which is a plus. A good place to stop when visiting Brighton, MI. read more

El Toro - Sangria sample. - Mexican Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

I placed an online order for lunch. My husband's chimichanga was not deep fried and didn't have any seasonings on it. The beans served with it were cold and watery and the cheese was so melted it came off the chimichanga and was all over the bottom of the carry out tray. I ordered lunch special #10 which was supposed to be an enchilada, a chalupa, and a cheese quesadilla. Look at the picture and tell me where the chalupa is? Maybe I'm too accustomed to Taco Bell chalupas but if the round item next to the enchilada is supposed to be the chalupa then I think they've confused a tostada with a chalupa. When my husband went to pick up the order he said he walked in and there were two male employees standing around and when he asked about the order one of the employees just pointed to a table where the food was waiting. No words were spoken. It was very rude. We won't be back. read more

Very good food, staff is always friendly and they are pretty fast getting the food out !

Been here a few times and the food is always amazing and the service is great. Today the food was amazing but the service was terrible. Took forever to get our drinks and queso. He never brought our hot sauce or the cheese for my meal. Had to get up and hunt down the waiter to get my bill. Sorry Dude. You missed out on a $30 tip. I'll be back because the food is good but you will never wait on me again. Do your job instead of chatting up the other staff. read more

It's the Taco Bell review that had me rolling!!! Seriously people?! Usually if you're visiting an AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant, majority of their employees may speak limited English. Being that Spanish is a primary language in the US, your bigotry only proves that you're shallow minded and just a plain idiot. Nonetheless, this place is AMAZING! Not only do they offer FREE soup (which is some of the best I've ever had tbh) and coffee, the hospitality by Jose and his crew are undoubtedly the best in the county. They brought me out the best shrimp tacos I've ever had, accompanied by an array of different salsas and hot sauces that they had made for VIP's. Go here. Get a margarita. Introduce yourself and enjoy the tacos, ambiance, and just don't be an asshole. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in brighton! The many dine in & carry out experiences I've had have not disappointed. The staff is always very friendly and I've never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes for my food after I place my order. The chicken tortilla soup is delish & my go-to entree is the fajita burrito (steak). The only thing I've ever ordered here that I have not liked was a classic lime margarita- just tasted a bit to much like it was from a cheap mix and most definitely a batched drink. Since then, I've stuck to my pacificos and have been happy! read more

This was our second time eating here! Both times have been good! I love their chips and salsa to start! I don't like overly spicy so I think the salsa is perfect! This time I got the lunch shrimp burrito with beans; It was so yummy! And I had one of the $5 margaritas, not bad for $5! We will definitely be back when in town! read more

Food was good. Service was attentive and fast. Asked for cheese on my "dang quesadilla" but received a small bowl of queso instead (which was good); the charge was a bit excessive. Will definitely give this restaurant another go in the future. read more

I went there on Memorial Day and we were the only people there. I myself am picky so I just got a taco with rice and beans. The taco was kind of spicy yet good, the refried beans were excellent, this place was also the only place I have liked rice. The chips and salsa to start was good, the salsa was mild. Would recommend, nice staff! read more

Came here for the 2nd time...giving it another whirl. Lunch this time and it was pretty good...not as good as other places in the area and a lot less bang for your buck. And what's even more disappointing is they charge for hot sauce..crazy..and it's not even that good, actually kinda gross. Chips and regular salsa are on point though. Probably won't be back again. read more

We love Mexican restaurants with unlimited chips and salsa. Chips and salsa are great here. Chips are thicker and crunchier and salsa is salsa. It didn't take ling to bring our food. Everything was fresh and tasty. I ordered shrimp salad and shrimp were great, crunchy and fresh but i wish salad had more flavour to it, no dressing and seems to have only salad leaves. You won't get full if you only order salad here. Staffed jalapeños were great, came as a main dish. Also, waitress was a very nice girl but it took her a while ti take our order and get a check even that it was slow. Decor is unique and beautiful and restaurant is clean and nice. I would recommend this restaurant and I will be back for sure. read more

Guys! We try to support your business but our food is terrible today. The queso and chorizo is all chorizo and a tablespoon of queso. Also the chorizo is burnt. Chimichanga has raw shell on it, totally wasn't fried. Couldn't eat that or the fundido, went straight in the trash. I paid $30 for this food. Never should have let that mess go out the door have some pride in your food. You would think at a time like this you would really want to put out some awesome food. We try to support a business a week, I cannot see myself going back here. I'm so disappointed. read more
