We quickly found out this is one of the best Mexican places in the area. I love the carnitas here. Service is friendly, and the decor is traditional. We had never had a bad meal here. read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon. Place was busy, yet didn't appear overly so. Guess we were the last to get our order in after everyone else's (including a very large party). Sat for 40 minutes waiting for our food to be delivered. The waiter was impressive to say the least! He hustled. He carried an armful of about 6 dinner plates to the large party. Our food has been better in the past. The beef in the taco and tostadas tasted different than usual. Lots of seeds in the chile relleno. We've been coming here since they opened several years back, and we still consider this one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Great service. Amazing salsa! read more

We stopped in for a little Mexican food and were thoroughly impressed. I ordered the Jalisco Fajitas which comes with sizzling chicken, steak, and shrimp grilled with bell peppers, onions. Served with rice, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and fresh tortillas. We also had salsa, queso and chips. Everything was fresh and the fajitas were some of the most flavorful I've had in a long time. The service was great and they have a nice vibe inside the restaurant. I'd highly recommend checking them out. read more

El Toro has a nice vibes and a good atmosphere, My husband and I go here often, the service is usually decent but it can be a little hit or miss. We do like the food but there is definitely days that are better than others. It's never really super busy when we have gone so the waits shouldn't be long either. However we went last night and it was just us and maybe 1 or 2 other tables. My husband ordered a large margarita and it showed up with visibly moldy lemons on the rim. I'm super disappointed, because i do like the restaurant but now it makes me wonder what other foods they have that aren't good. It kind of ruined my appetite and I don't know that I want to go back now that I have had some mid experiences and seen the carelessness in food safety. read more

Great casual place with a bang for your buck! I had a shrimp burrito and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. I had both the flavored and house margaritas but would recommend the house margarita if you don't like your drinks too sugary. Waiters were quick and attentive! read more

I only eat fish & veggies. To my surprise the fish taco was better than the cauliflower taco- I wish the cauliflower were deeply roasted but it was still good. I went back after I left to get 2 more fish tacos (overload) because it was so phenomenal. The tacos are actually really big! 2 or 3 is probably enough for one person. The staff was nice & you can earn loyalty points here. The tres leches parfait was PHENOMENAL! I would go back just for that! I love this place & will probably visit every time I'm in Murfreesboro! Thank you for amazing tacos! read more

Terrible food, no seasonings just bland. Also the host didn't believe that I was picking up the contents...not food!

Large authentic Mexican food, real decor , good margaritas, attentive wait staff... my Burrito was delicious, stuffed with shrimp, and scallops, covered with cheese.. ! I highly recommend this place, it was not expensive.. ! read more

Was just stopping through the city. We dined here on a Friday around 2PM! They have live music. He played Jazz which i thought was strange for a Mexican restaurant but it was still a nice touch. Customer service was just ok to me. Drinks were just ok. Couldn't really taste the alcohol. The food was also just ok, mine was actually a little cold. read more

The food is absolutely incredible. I got the Parrillada Toro single serving and everything about the dish was amazing and seasoned perfectly. The ambiance is great as well; very well designed interior and great music. I will be coming back soon and suggest everyone give this place a try if you enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. read more

Great customer service! We ordered takeout and they forgot our cheese dip. They gave us extra chips + salsa, a very large cheese dip, and cheesy rice (what we ordered it for intially) Great food and great people. read more

This was my first visit here and it was really good. The interior had a rustic feel and was welcoming. Our server was very friendly and service was very good. We had several employees check in with us to see if we needed anything. They were playing some authentic Mexican music. They also have a full bar and several TV's just in case a game is on. It is moderately priced and the portions are above average. The food was good and was out to us in under 15 minutes. read more

Full disclosure, I grew up in California and am on a quest to find a Nashville area restaurant serving the best, most similar food to what you can find in So Cal. Service at El Toro Loco was great. The margarita was very good.Chicken taquitos were excellent. I wish the crispy taco shell had been freshly fried, not store bought. read more

The customer service was great, and the drinks were strong, however, the food wasn't really doing it for me however, I could be biased because I only ordered from the à la carte menu. I may need to go back to actual trial meals on the menu instead of à la carte items. read more

Service was excellent, food was tasty and good portions were great! There was live music that evening I went and it was a nice ambiance. Ordered the street tacos- one steak and one chicken. Both were very good, but I preferred the flavor of the steak (and it wasn't gristly at all!). Also ordered the side of rice and beans and it was a generous portion. I've never seen such a lovely and large "side of avocado"! Chips didn't have that lingering oil taste that can happen sometimes. Everything felt fresh. They have outdoor dining too! read more

El Toro Loco is a good spot to satisfy your craving for Mexican food. We tried the salsa, guacamole, and queso and enjoyed them all. Our entrees included the chicken chimichanga and the shrimp tacos, both from the lunch menu. Our food was good, the service was friendly, and the restaurant (including restrooms) was very clean. I'm looking forward to returning soon to try some of the other menu items. Give El Toro Loco a try! read more

ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE. I wanted to order an a la carte chimichanga. Not only did it point it out on the menu, I stated that I only wanted the chimichanga. When my food came out, it was a full plate of rice and beans and I let the waiter know that I only wanted the chimichanga. He walked away nodding his head. When I got my check I noticed that I was charged the full plate price. I pointed this out and not only did he say that I was wrong. He said that I lied about only wanting just the chimichanga. This will be my first and last time attending this place. Their margaritas taste non alcoholic and the food is mediocre. The only thing great about this place was the guy singing Jazz. What a joke. Be prepared to be taken advantage of! read more

So so. The chips and salsa were good, that was the best part of the meal. The chili relleno was edible , the cheese enchilada was not. Mushy like an uncooked tortilla. The service was good and it looked clean. For us it was one and done. read more

Food was really good and the menu had so much to choose from. Staff was very friendly, and the vibe was very chill.

Really decent fast food close to home. Crispy tacos were great! Large dining room was clean and spacious.

I usually order and pick up. The food is good and they have large portions. Prices are reasonable.

The food was great! I got the Cacti dish. It was really good. It's a little hidden gem. The service was slow but the food made up for that.

An average Mexican stop. Very small, clean place, with friendly staff. The regular salsa tasted like pace, the spicy salsa did not taste fresh-Mixed together they tasted better. Ordered chicken street taco, the chicken was grilled the perfect amount with a good seasoning of flavor on it. Also ordered a steak street taco. The steak was not very seasoned and average tasting- good but nothing special. Also ordered a Burrito Autentico- this burrito was a good size with a lot of meat inside. The green sauce on top was very salty and the steak inside was average but the pieces were too big making it harder to eat. Overall this place is an average Nashville area Mexican place. read more

Solid Mexican food. I had the enchiladas - beef, chicken, cheese and ground beef. My enchiladas were covered with sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream - abundantly. It was very tasty and filling. My wife had the burrito with steak, chicken and chorizo. It was the size of a small animal - it was huge. But aside from being huge, she absolutely loved it. The meats and sauce were a hit for her. Lunch came with tortilla chips (needed salt) and salsa. Overall, it was a terrific meal for a great price. If you want solid Mexican food (and a lot of it) for a fair price, you'll love this place. read more

Loved this place! Food was delish and service was fantastic. Our food was on point and we had food-envy of every other plate that came out of the kitchen. Live entertainment was a woman singing to karaoke tracks -- she was very talented and made visit even better with her beautiful voice. Top shelf margaritas are not to be missed. I was visiting from out of town and will definitely be back when I'm in area again. Support this small business! read more

We've been to a lot of Mexican food places in the area and El Toro our favorite. Food is a tad better, service is great and ambiance is fun.

We've been in TN for about 3 years now and hadn't found a great little Mexican restaurant until now! Everything was DELICIOUS!! My husband and I started with the Homemade Guacamole. So good...then shared the Shrimp Ceviche and the Steak, Chicken & Shrimo Fajitas. All amazing!!! We're staying at Opryland for a little staycation but would definitely drive the 30 minutes from home to eat here again!! Service was great too! Highly recommend! read more

The customer service, bean dip, and margarita get 5 stars. Our server was great. The bean dip was yummy. The margarita was perfect. Unfortunately the food gets 2 stars. I don't like to be that person that returns food to the kitchen so I sucked it up and ate half of it (this was also at 3pm and I hadn't eaten anything all day). Ended up taking the rest home. I had gotten the Enchiladas Supremas. The tortilla was hard and had a weird flavor. The cheese was barely melted. The meat was not seasoned well. I ended up getting sick for two days after eating here. (If I hadn't gotten sick I would've given them 3 stars.) Maybe their dinner menu is better but I don't think I'll be back to find out. read more

This place was such a surprise! My husband and I have always passed by and never thought about going in until one day we wanted to try something new. The reviews looked great so we had to give it a chance! SO GLAD WE DID! Margaritas were awesome and didn't taste syrupy at all, which is pretty uncommon to find. We ordered the lime on the rocks. We also ordered their shrimp cocktel and it was extremely flavorful. Definitely my favorite I've had so far in and around Nashville. We then ordered a few of their street tacos and they were so authentic! Loved, loved, loved. We got the chorizo, chicken, and al pastor. All great. Their salsa is great as well which is always a bonus. We will be back! read more

I picked up to go last night for my family. I got in the car, opened the box and smelled what seemed like Heaven opening it's gates. Hurricane Ida had just finished passing through, and lets just say "Ida hungry for some authentic Mexican cuisine!". Don't get this mamacita started on that fresh guac. Fresher than Febreze y'all. Oh, and as far as my entree? I got the Burrito El Toro. "El Toro?? More like, give me some More-O!!" Mmm My my, that tasted better than mommas butter milk biscuits. Feeling like your cooking games a little dry? Well head on down to El Toro and give her a try! *your experience may vary* read more

Food is consistent and always good. Part of 2 or 8 service is quick! The menu is huge!
