After months of searching for a good spot around Redlands and Krome, we finally tried El Toro Loco thanks to my nephew's recommendation and he absolutely nailed it with this one. The restaurant has a modern steakhouse vibe with a welcoming the moment you walk in. Service was great, but the real star here was the food. We ordered the porterhouse, sweet plantains, yuca fries, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob, and honestly every single dish was excellent. The porterhouse was cooked perfectly, flavorful, juicy, and packed with that great grilled taste you hope for when ordering steak. The sides were just as impressive. I was especially surprised by the yuca fries and sweet plantains because those can easily miss the mark at some places, but here they were so good we kept going back for more. Dessert completely sealed the deal. The churros stuffed with dulce de leche were incredible warm and crispy on the outside with a soft, gooey center that tasted fresh out of the fryer. Definitely one of the best desserts I've had in a while. A couple things to keep in mind before visiting: onsite parking is limited, so most guests will likely end up paying the $5 parking fee (cash only I believe, not sure as we were lucky to find an open spot in-front of the restaurant) since street parking around Krome is scarce. Also, no free water and a 15% gratuity is automatically included in the bill. Thankfully, our waitress Ana was fantastic and made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very well maintained. Personally, I think a slightly more polished uniform style for the staff would match the upscale vibe of the place even more, but overall this was a really great dining experience and absolutely a place we'd come back to. read more

I'll say right off the bat... they would have gotten 5 stars if the service wasn't so bad when I went. Like crazy waits in between someone offering a drink... taking the order... bringing the order... bringing boxes.... Bringing a check... bringing the bill back. Like insanely long gaps. What should have been a 45 min to an hour lunch was a 2+ hr ordeal. Staff was friendly enough when you did see them, but it was 15-30 min gaps between times we saw them. That aside... everything else was great. The food was really tasty. The menu has a little something for everyone (except maybe a vegetarian for a non side dish option). They ran out of the soup, but it looked amazing at other people's tables. We ended up with the estrana, tacos, and tostones relleno. All so tasty. Parking was tough on weekend, but fine if you're patient. The petting zoo area was great. I wish I brought some cash to feed the animals from the kiosk. I saw some dogs, so it seems pet friendly enough. . I'd definitely come back again, but do hope it's faster next time. read more

It's like being on someone's ranch and up pops a restaurant. In a way, that's what it is. They have a petting zoo and weekend horse rides. We enjoyed the koi pond. Great for little kids and us older kids. Fun for the whole family. Our host introduced the place as being similar to red lobster. Pick your dinner from the tank and they prepare it, only, we're on a ranch. I admit, they had me going, for a minute. The service was terrific. I believe our new friend is named Damien. He was very attentive and very polite. He's easily one of their best. He really went out of his way and we were happy to over tip, just a bit. The food was delicious. Being on a ranch, you can expect a lot of meat dishes. They have quite a few sides available and even offer a side sampler up to eight different options. It's not cheap. I would go as far as to say overpriced. Possibly the cost of eating out in Miami is expensive, we're new here. There's also the unique atmosphere and the higher quality meats they use. Definitely worth a looksy. 12/25 read more

This time we had the chorizo and t bone. Churrasco is still my fav. Mashed potatoes were super good. Also tried the shakes. Didn't like the strawberry but mamey was good. I prefer smoothies though not shakes where it's very milky. read more

We went atv riding and wanted to eat somewhere nearby so found this place. The place is decorated really cool with a ranch feel and the hostess and waitress were both really nice. We ordered our food and got it fairly quickly. During the meal they did a dance contest with some kids and the winner would win free dessert for their table. After that someone did Karaoke but really well tbh. She also picked songs that everyone could stand so it worked well. The food itself was delicious. I got churrasco tacos and scarfed them down quickly. I also had some fries and corn since my girlfriend got 2 corn on the cops as a side. For dessert we had churros which were stuffed with some filling and had chocolate and some other dip. It was delicious. The price is what you'd expect for any kind of steakhouse. I'd definitely come back to this location whenever I'm in the area. It's good! read more

I never seem to run out of great restaurants in Miami and I don't even run out of El Toro Locos! This particular one though is far more than a meal though, it is an experience. And not just a culinary experience...kids play area, beautiful area to explire with koi ponds and horses, even ATVs for rent. Pretty awesome! El Toro Loco Ranch is a weekend only eatery with extraordinary really good food and the best darn service anywhere. It would be hard to decide if the best quality was the food the service or the ambience since they were all so extraordinary, but in the end, when reviewing a restaurant, the food is the most important. And tonight's food was spectacular. A huge portion. My choice this evening was the entrana. This one was one spectacular steak. For sides I went with the sweet kale salad. This was light enough that I was able to finish the steak, which is pretty unusual for me at any of the Toro local restaurants. Keep in mind the menu is slightly different here and if you want some variety on your plate, you better come with a big crowd or plan to bring home a lot of food. Of course there's nothing wrong with either plan. But here's the best part; before or after dinner, you can walk around the grounds and visit the petting zoo or see the Koi pond. You can ride horses or even ATVs; what an amazing place for a meal plus so much more. El Toro Loco Ranch is only open on weekends for dinner, but it is truly worthy of a visit and I plan to visit often. Their tomahawk steak at $98 maybe one of the best deals in Miami. It is a massive amount of meat which they cook perfectly and will easily feed two or three people as a standalone meal or four or five people with appetizers and side dishes. they also offer four amazing Picada options that come with four sides and will easily feed a family for under $100. With four sides, you don't have to choose between the perfect tostones, the delicious smashed potatoes, the corn, and my personal favorite, the yuca con mojo, because you can have them all. I always sub in the salad for one of them, but you can't go wrong with any of their side dishes. And for a little more, try the appetizers to build an even better meal. The fried cheese and the pork belly are particular favorites but there are several others. I rotate in when I'm in the mood because of all so darn good. Hurry on over here some weekend for this awesome experience and is perfect the meal as you'll ever eat. You won't be sorry. read more

Noooooooo Nope Absolutely not Stay away Not worth the drive at all. There were 6 servers, only 2 were actually working while the other girls just stared off into blank space. Mind you we were a party of 7 and it was only 5pm. The food was defintely NOT medium well. It was medium if not practically rare-chewy, gamy ughhh Appetizers were oily. We were only given 1 napkin per person-why are we rationing napkin???? Visiting this establishment was my one and only regret during my entire Miami trip. read more

For starters, we came here for Mother's Day, which I already knew was going to be a meh experience, as is every other restaurant in Miami. Even then, a restaurant of this magnitude with these prices should make everyday, especially holidays, a great time for the consumer. There are like 7 hostess manning the front so no one really knows whats going on. Communication between staff is scarce. Our waitress was okay i guess. She was overwhelmed with everything which is fine but at least check in a couple times (she did not). The food took a literal hour to come out after ordering. The meat was okay, their normal locations have tastier meat. This location has a limited menu. Honestly everything was just chaos. Add another layer: flies everywhere. Ruined our food towards the end. We wanted to order dessert and opted not to because it wouldve taken another hour to come out and we were already sweating. If you want to spend upwards of $60 per person for bland meat, i guess this is your spot! Stick to the food trucks and the OG toro loco restaurants. read more

Our service was great, she was attentive and communicated with us well. We went on a Saturday for Memorial Day weekend and they were not overwhelmingly busy. We love Toro loco restaurant but can agree this one is not as great as the restaurant. The decor is perfect very much the vibe. The flies are an issue but could be resolved with some fly fans per table. The hostess could be better read more

We loved the vibe, food was delicious, and Rosleny made our visit wonderful! We will be back!

We are huge fans of Toro Loco and usually go as a family of seven to the location on 8th Street, which is always amazing. This Toro Loco Ranch location was just okay for us. The setting is charming -- it's an open space with horses, donkeys, goats, and even a fish pond, which makes for a cute experience, especially for kids. However, the food didn't live up to the Toro Loco standard we're used to. The meat, particularly the entraña, wasn't the same quality as the one we usually enjoy, also we ordered medium and we got medium well and we got maduros instead of fries, and the menu here felt more limited. Also, while eating, we constantly had to deal with flies, which really took away from the experience. Overall, it's a nice place to visit for the ranch atmosphere, but for the quality of food and dining experience, we prefer the original location. read more

The other day we had lunch with my parents and decided to take a day trip to the El Toro Loco Ranch. We were super impressed with both the property and the menu. For our meal we ordered their meat platter with three sides which we picked, fried yuca, sweet plantains and salad with avocado. Everything was delicious and very well seasoned. The meats included sliced steaks and roasted chicken and both were very juicy and tender. For my son we ordered a burger with fries and judging how he devoured it was delicious too. For dessert we couldn't decided so we ordered their flan and Cuban French Toast (Torejas) Both did not disappoint the flan was very creamy and the Torejas used a brioche bread was perfection. After dinner we explored the ranch which included horseback riding, paint ball battle and a play area for the kids. read more

AMAZING this location is just on Saturday and Sundays open but is a complete success. Food is great as the other location but with this family friendly space for kids to play in bounces houses, paintball, horses, live music, everything is so amazing I love this kind of restaurant were you can come and spend part of your day enjoying not just the perfect food they have entertainment for the whole family. Meet, ribs, appetizers excellent. Service is great too girls are always nice and very attentive. We need more places like this. Love it and for sure we will come back read more

Very disappointed with my recent experiences at Toro Loco Churrascaria and Toro Loco Ranch. We ordered Wagyu beef at the 8444 SW 8th St location, but the quality was far from what was advertised. We were asked to send an email about the issue and never received a response. We originally loved this place since it opened and discovered it through Alex Otaola, but the quality has clearly declined. At the Homestead Ranch location, we waited over an hour for an appetizer that never came, the porterhouse steak had no flavor, and the restrooms had no toilet paper or paper towels. I do not recommend these places anymore. The owner should pay attention, as the current management is damaging the business. read more

Fantastic food...well cooked, excellent flavor and good portions. Ambiance is unique and great for groups. Service is a mess...it took almost an hour to put our name on the list and then another hour to be seated. They had another seating area near food truck that was empty...need to figure out how to utilize space, service, and runners/servers. If you bring kids...bring snacks! read more

The open-air atmosphere at El Toro Loco Rancho is nice and casual. However, the experience started off a bit rocky. Within five minutes of sitting down (with a party of 10), a waitress came over and told us we needed to order soon because there's a time limit on seating. That felt rushed, especially since we had just sat down and hadn't even looked at the full menu yet. For all my medium rare steak lovers, take note: this spot only offers steaks cooked medium and above. If you're particular about your steak doneness, that could be a dealbreaker. The overall meal was just okay--not quite worth the long drive from Broward to South Miami, in my opinion. A couple of recommendations for improvement: 1. Allow large parties a bit more time to settle in before enforcing the seating time limit--it would help guests feel more welcomed. 2. Consider offering more steak doneness options, including medium rare, to better accommodate different preferences. Also worth noting: our server, Ebis, asked my sister to leave a Google review right there at the table--on her phone. That felt a bit uncomfortable and definitely biased. Reviews should be earned through great service, not requested mid-meal. read more

Very good food and atmosphere is amazing for a family day out. Ask for Osana as your waiter she's amazing.

I will give you the fact that if you love meat you will love this place. There is a huge variety and gallo pinto is to die for. In my opinion seasoning on the meat can be better. They do not put salt and pepper on the table. Service- it's ok. Servers mainly speak Spanish and I was told there are no substitutions of meat on the variety platters. Soda is sold by the can. Ambiance- keeping in mind that this area has a ton of open fields and animals flies are going to happen. However, there is an abundance of them when your food comes to the table. You are so busy swatting flies it's hard to enjoy your food. They need food nets or table fly fans to help with this problem. I don't want poop footed flies on my food. Now to the issue my husband choked while eating. I seriously mean choked. I asked for a cup of water and was told that they only sell bottled water, all while my husband was red from coughing and spitting up trying to save himself because they were of no assistance. They even charged me for the water. We left mid meal and went directly to the hospital. read more

The ambiance seemed cool and I was already familiar with Toro Loco's awesome meat selection. We waited 35 min which was not a big deal to us. However, there seemed to be confusion between the kitchen and waitresses. We were sat down along with other tables but didn't receive our food 45min later with the yuca bites then 20 min with the actual meat platter. Some tables got their food while others in the same party did not receive their orders and walked out. The yuca bites were okay (honestly, go to pollo tropical for the same quality at a cheaper price) Meat was over done. the waitress didn't ask how I liked my meat cooked. Factors: There was a huge party at the restaurant and maybe that took up the space of the kitchen and waiters' attention. Also I think they were overwhelmed with take out orders and just behind in general. I think this place has a lot of work to be done. Especially since the price of the meat does not match the value of the service provided. I would not take my in-laws here who hate waiting too long for service. read more

I had such an amazing time taking our family (including a toddler)! Yes, the wait times can be a little long for both seating, and the meals, HOWEVER, take the time to enjoy all of the fun activities and sights around the land! Plan to be there for a few hours, enjoy the fresh air, and you will not be disappointed in the food. Such a great place for families and creating wonderful memories. read more

Highly recommended if you like to wait an hour for your food to arrive at your table. Waitress canceled my appetizer assuming because I also ordered an additional one. When I brought up the issue she spoke over and did not listen to my regards. So if you like that kind of service then yes try el toro loco. Besides I had rather not eat the horrible food I watched my guests eat. They did not like it. read more

El lugar es muy lindo y tiene varias actividades para pasar rico con familia. Lo que no me gustó es que tuvimos que esperar 2.5 horas para la mesa y pregunté dos veces a la mesera por dónde íbamos y a la segunda vez me dijo que supuestamente me avían llamado 3 veces y que no contesté y que le dieron mi mesa a otra persona. Ya enfurecida porque asta confirme mi número con ella dos veces para no tener ese tipo de problemas me dieron una mesa rápidamente. A esto quiero añadir que les pedí que me mostraran las 3 llamadas que hicieron a mi número y no encontraron las llamadas. Así que tacharon mi reserva por negligencia. Para la cantidad de personas que llega a este lugar necesitan un servicio de Check In y reservas URGENTE. Utilizan un Excel sheet para anotar a las personas y sus números. Ni te mandan mensaje de texto para confirmar tu reserva. Creo que necesitan implementar un mejor sistema de chequeo. Una vez sentado el servicio fue rápido. Lo que no me gustó es que la presentación de el menú no es la misma en persona. Te traen la comida en platos de cartón envés de las tablas. La mesera fue muy atenta con nosotros y la comida llegó rápido. El sabor estaba muy bueno. Creo que si no hubiese sido por el gran inconveniente de esperar dos horas y media hubiese sido una mejor experiencia. Pregunté que hora es la mejor hora de llegada y la mesera sugerido 11am. Mi familia y yo llegamos a las 2:30 y nos atendieron asta las 5:15pm. Ajuntó un caballo que rente por $25 dólares y te da una vuelta en el rancho. No pude tomar fotos ni de la comida porque ya estábamos muertos de hambre por la espera y el enojo de haber "perdido la mesa", después de esperar tanto tiempo pero bueno no se si volvería la verdad. Pero el lugar en sí es muy lindo. read more

Go early to get a table. Always full because they open only for the weekend. If you go around 6:00 pm there are good chances. Informal and rustic ambiance in the middle of Krome.

Amazing food incredible ambience and the service is fantastic. Incredible view and so much to do and see.

Love the food, the ambiance and service is always great! I love to eat at the ranch, and I am a big fan of all their locations.

We drove to check out the Ranch and we were a party of four! On my goodness! Well worth the trip and can't wait to go back! Our server was amazing, the steak cooked to perfection, and the sides did not disappoint either. We tried appetizers, empanadas, yucca cheese bites, and wagu tostones. Everyone enjoyed it so much we didn't have left overs!! A dessert was recommended by our server, and it was also devoured! Definitely recommend this spot! I know they have other locations, but this is outdoor and under cover. read more

Waited TWO hours for a table for four just to be seated in the smallest table ever in the way of everyone walking by. Multiple people that came in with us or even later who complained were seated earlier and in bigger tables. And several couples were taking up tables for 6. Straight up disrespectful. I guess they're very understaffed for the long line outside, waiter barely looked at us and you cant hear anything over the extremely loud live singer. It was a relief walking away. We ordered two appetizers and left. And that was $38. The yuca bites are also tasteless if not with the cilantro sauce. The animals and pond outside were the only plus but not enough to keep you entertained for so long. The parking situation is also weird, there were cars parked in the grass outside but some guy told us we had to park a block away. read more
