Tasty food and always great service and friendly staff. I frequently eat here, at least three times a month. I would definitely recommend this place. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The Molcajete is my favorite. read more

Badass taste to expensive I order a grilled shrimps that have a cost of 26 dollars and they give me 7 shrimps

The food was not good and it's stupidly expensive, the waitresses are very arrogant and don't give good attention

Food was mediocre at best, the enchilada sauce tasted watered down and not flavorful. Service was disgraceful and made my overall experience so much worse. We had to ask for our server multiple times for help and when they finally came they had such a terrible attitude. Our server never came to our table to check on us without having to ask. Seems like this restaurant went downhill. read more

Came here for some good food during a business trip, and I enjoyed the experience. The menu is huge and has all sorts of options to choose from. I went with the Quesadilla Bronco. It was stuffed to the brim with steak, and the guacamole paired well with the dish. Another in our party got the fajitas, and the portion was huge! Suffice to say, you won't go home hungry after eating here! read more

Today was my birthday. So my family decided, " hey we have never had El Toro Bronco. Let's try it." Worst decision ever! The waitress came and asked if we wanted any drinks. We got our drinks... we were never offered water. When she came back with the drinks she prompted us to order. We ordered and never saw her again till the food came. Our chips and salsa basket for the 5 of us remained empty never to be filled. We were never offered any condiments for our dinner... no salt and pepper on the tables. The food tasted horrible. I've had better refried beans at Taco Bell. The Spanish rice was dry and tasteless. My chimichanga tasted like plastic. The guacamole was bought not made. The beans came from a can and the tortillas, if they ever come, taste like plastic. Everything was covered in a layer of grease. If you want good Mexican food please don't waste your time or money. read more

Ordered tamales for Christmas Eve and they were DELICIOUS! Highly recommend! My husband and I eat there regularly and they never disappoint!

I've eaten here at least a few dozen times and I've never had a bad experience. The staff is always accommodating and attentive, the food is amazing, and it's always fun and inviting here. The margaritas are huge, cheap, and good. Whether I'm just looking for a drink and some snacks or a night out with my lady, Toro Bronco hits every time. It's gotten to a point where the servers know what me and my fiancee are going to order before we even sit down and we love it. read more

I placed an online order through doordash and brought it home to eat. The food was expected to take 15 minutes to make, which didn't leave me with much time to get to the restaurant, but I was surprised that it was still very warm when I got home!! The food portion was MASSIVE. Definitely will be eating here again. read more

The pollo Chimichanga Branco was good even though I am not the best fan of Mexican food. the chips were great as was the salsa. As a sign of times, I will note this would(for me ) get a higher star if the costs were not so high. Other than that a great little Mexican place in the middle of Lampoc. read more

The food was very mediocre and seemed to be mostly unfresh from their Guacamole to their beef being really oily. Service was okay, we had to wait almost half an hour to pay for our meal. Prices are pretty high for the quality. read more

Went here for a group lunch, there were about 22 of us. It was my first time here. Didn't look like much from the outside but the inside was nice and clean. The service was great. Our server was quick and the food also came out quick specially with so many people. I ordered the carne asada fries minus the red sauce substitute with green sauce. It was pretty good. They use the thinner and smaller French fries with the meat and cheese on top and a generous helping of guacamole and sour cream on the side. It was really good, not the best I've ever had but also not bad either. Next time I'll try something different. The shrimp taco looked really good and so did the ceviche. Pretty generous on the size and serving typical of a good Mexican restaurant in Southern California. If I would visit again if I'm in the mood for Mexican food but will definitely try something different. read more

Food was horrible and over priced! Came here for a Christmas gathering. The lady in pink was non friendly and kept picking up our dishes and cups to kick us out. Another lady came by few minutes later and stated that there was a time limit...really? Wow and that the reason I never come her and I will not be coming back. .5 out of 10. read more

Great restaurant and amazing food! The service was incredible as well! I don't usually write reviews but my experience here was more than enough to write a review! The food was amazing, and our waitress was incredible. Our waitress Sandra was very cordial, outgoing and professional. She was very friendly and easy to get along with! She was very attentative to our orders and drinks, and she always got our orders right! That's something we haven't experienced a lot of lately. We will definetly come back again soon to eat and hopefully be hosted by Sandra! I could not recommend a better waitress than her, five stars to her as well! Whatever she's doing, she's doing well! If the manager is reading this, she deserves a raise!! read more

El Toro Bronco - Zesty Shrimp Tacos, Beans, And Rice!! - Mexican Near Me - Lompoc, California

I will start with we have loved this place for years!! It is a staple in this town, but after tonight's service it will be awhile before we go back. My husband even said about our waitress, "is she mad at us?" Maybe she was having an off night, or maybe she got some of those extra long thick eyelashes where they shouldn't be...but my goodness, the worst service with an even worse attitude! The food was still delicious, I will say that! 3 stars for the food. I will ask for a different server next time, if she is still there. Just being honest. read more

My first time visiting El Toro Bronco was way back around 2003. Over the years I've tried many different dishes and I can't remember being let down once. My favorite is the chili relleno burrito wet with red sauce, so good. Unfortunately we don't live close enough to to make it here frequently, but if we did, I'm sure this would be a weekly dinner spot. Highly suggest giving them a shot if you are in the area. read more

I come here very often and have never had a bad meal. The food is outstanding. I am partial to the enchiladas and chili rellenos, but I've tried the fajitas, chili verde, burritos and nothing has disappointed. The margaritas are delicious as well. The chips and salsa are always fresh and most of the time the service is great. There are a few waitresses that are very good and attentive. read more

Food was not good, carnitas plate for $22 dollars and 3 tortillas only, shrimp ceviche not good at all, we did not get any silverware, we had to ask for it, never got a drink refill, read more

Met here with a friend for a drink and lunch. It was kind of noisy at first which was surprising since there were only a few groups in the area (maybe like 5?) and a bit more than I'd be expecting to pay for a lunch. I had some chimichangas that were basically 3 of them cut in half for appetizers and they were dripping when I'd bite into them that I was holding a napkin directly underneath so it wouldn't splash. My friend had a ceviche that tasted a little different than what we'd expect, for me had been overpowered by oregano. The margarita drinks were pretty good, but were 12$ each for regular sizes. The waitress was very kind and welcoming. The decor was beautiful. I'd try the other plates so give a proper thorough review, but seems like nearly any other Mexican restaurant, just a little more pricey than what I'm used to. :) read more

The vegetarian quesadilla has my mouth watering just thinking about it. Service was sweet and nice, perhaps new, but she found answers to questions she was unable to answer herself. They accommodated a gluten-free request with no issues. Lots of vegetarian options, and of course plenty of options for the carnivores in the world. I love mezcal and was bummed there was only 1 to choose from. The mango margarita was a little sweet to my guest's liking, needed some fresh lime, but hey that's just us. The only real bummer is the booths. The booths look appealing but avoid avoid avoid. The backs are not mounted so every time the weight is shifted, the backboard goes wild. I thought there might have been a cute kid jumping behind us, but no, just a sweet older gentleman wondering why I was looking at him. read more

I sat next to the two most obnoxious people ever. The man was SO loud on his phone with f-bomb after f-bomb---while I'm trying to enjoy a night out for my son's birthday. We got to find out they are 'Mark & Elizabeth'. And Elizabeth can drop f-bombs in a public place, in almost as loud a voice as Mark. As a couple walked up they said 'Is that Madeleine? No, way too big.' Is there was a way that a family could enjoy dinner and not be stuck next to these horrible, rude people? How do I know that Mark has a RV & what he did with it? Geez, truly I hope these people do not leave their house again. No one going out should be subjected to loud, foul mouthed adults with no self control and apparently no ability to recognize there are other families around. He paid with his 'Gold card (not the silver)', he said. And followed it with he 'always gives a $20 tip... usually'. Really Mark & Elizabeth, you should be paying for all of our families' meals, people who finally got out for an enjoyable night out on a restaurant patio, and were instead subjected to your loud conversations & foul mouths. The waitress comes back with the bill and we got to hear him shout, "Wait! Go back & get my candy!" Multiple times. I wouldn't normally fault the restaurant for this obnoxious couple, but the waitress knew them, so we got to hear a few more personal stories. We had no ability to move away. I did bump the 1 Star to a 2 star, because I thought they were attentive. What a whack job pair of loud people, in a public place...probably with no clue how terrible they were being to not just my family, but two other families with young kids. Mark & Elizabeth, please stay home. Order in. We ALL thank you!!! It's hard to focus on restaurant food, drink & service, with this; however, enchiladas were a solid "good", two large bowls of tortilla soup were all chips and cheese. Not much else in the soup. Service was actually very good, except for the waitress encouraging Mark to tell us all about 'Mark'. If you enjoy the food, please do dine here, but if this couple is here, run away....especially if you have children. Oh, and the final tip?? Mark told Elizabeth $19.93. Uggghhhhh!!! read more

Overpriced and poor quality as far as I am concerned. This Mexican restaurant has been there for years. The huevos rancheros breakfast; beans were soupy and the rice was subpar. Two of us had a breakfast and one had a burrito for $50. That is an outrageous price for what we got. If I could give a lesser star, I would. read more

Way over priced for quality of food!! $8 for one shrimp taco is ridiculous. One drink of Tito's and cranberry $14 , again ridiculous !! Do give credit to our waitress who took good care of our party of 10. read more

Fantastic service with great food. Nothing to go home and rave about but I will say it's one of the best michelada that I've tried in the areas. Carne asada with good; I would have wanted the steak to be more tender and juicy but just a little to much chew for me. Overall it's a great place with authentic tasting Mexican food. read more

Impressed by this restaurant! The first time I came was for a co-workers birthday and then I chose it for my birthday lunch. Both times we were served by Celia and she was fantastic! Offered fast, attentive and friendly service. I ordered the mixed fajitas both times and they were delicious. My coworker food looks equally as good and portions are generous. Establishment is clean and had unique, traditional decorations. Would definitely come back and recommend! read more

Great authentic Mexican food. The service is A-1. Never have to wait too long for food or drinks. Always a good time here.

Where can I start?! Jesse and Celia are two amazing individuals. Hospitality at its finest from the beginning till end. Parking is plenty, cleanliness is on point, food is delicious and drinks pack a punch! I called ahead of time to make a reservation for a going away party for a friend and turned out to be a great event. Food, drinks, and service were consistently above our expectations. Honestly, everything we ordered had great taste and flavor. If you're looking for a good spot to try in Lompoc then my first recommendation will El Toro Bronco! read more
