The service was not great by our waitress. She never brought us our appetizer. The food is ok. We got a $55 molcajete for 2 but it didn't even have chorizo - even though the menu description said it came with it. The molcajete was also very small. We would have been better off ordering 2 plates. The mix drinks were good. I got a mango mojito. The place itself is really nice. There was a dj for Mother's Day so that was nice. Plus they gave the moms a rose. read more

El toro restaurants are through out the area. They call this Prime because they consider it to be their high end restaurant. It is a building that used to be an Italian restaurant. They have several rooms in which to dine. One room appears to be like a disco My husband is not real fond of everyday Mexican food, like tacos He was taken by this menu as it had whole fried fish. Something he really enjoys. I had a hard time finding something "really"nice on the menu. My husband noticed some kind of meat tower. It was served with tortillas. $70 for 2 and it had beef, pork, ribs,chicken sausage and more. We age tacos out of it and it was good We did not like their salsa but the pico de go was wonderful Margaritas are on sale Monday through Thursday. We each had two Our waitstaff was friendly and caring. She kept an eye on us and provided excellent service. The bar area is uniquely decorated and seating is comfortable Will we go back again? Probably not but will try the new one on 71st and Binford read more

First time here after a massage in the area. Food: 9/10 I got queso + chips and chorizo tacos supreme and everything I had was tasty! The queso was good flavor, I just needed a bit of oomf which probably would've came from the chorizo queso that I'll try next time! Service: quick and the server knew when to interject and I appreciated that! Most ask how things are in the middle of a bite lol ours waited and then checked in after. read more

Cinco de Mayo- I wish I could show a picture of my food but after waiting 3 hours, I never got it. I had a reservation at 6:30 and I arrived at 6:39 but the front was so slammed with people, it took a second to be acknowledged and ultimately shown to our table. The hostess was nice. That's truly the only good part was the waitstaff. I ended up putting in my order after the drinks took forever to arrive and then I waited and waited and waited. I'd say I put my food order in at 7 and I ended up canceling my order at 9:56. I never got anything and it was astonishing because food was coming out of the kitchen but not mine. Although this was on Cinco de Mayo, there needed to be a way better system. The drinks were also overpriced. There was a nice DJ and ambiance but I came to eat and didn't get that so 1 star. read more

El Toro Prime - Indianapolis - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

El Toro Prime is probably one of my favorite places for margaritas in the city. Such a cool atmosphere and really beautiful drinks. The reservations for our group of 30 were easy to make online about a week prior, and everything was set up perfectly when we arrived. The $50 deposit was applied to my bill as planned. The server did a wonderful job with a smile on her face the whole time. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, and strong drinks are always a crowd pleaser. The birria tacos and guacamole are my go to favorites here! I was so excited when they arrived to the table, that I devoured them before taking pictures. I'll just have to go back again for pics... oh darn! read more

El Toro is a great upscale Mexican spot in north side Indy. The atmosphere is the best, the decor inside makes for a fun dinner spot and looks like they have live music (we went early so they didn't have it, but I saw a music set up and instruments). I ordered the steak tacos and was full with just 2 of the 3 we received. My group also loved the chicken fajitas, very fresh flavor in everything. Service was top notch as well! I was impressed overall, definitely recommend read more

The ambience is nice. Cool vibes with the dj. Drinks are good. Flights are $65. Service was slow with bringing items to the table. The appetizer queso dip added ground beef was running not a thick consistency. Very bland. Order the fajita steak. Tough and not season. Pricey. For 2 ppl. 2 entrees. Shared appetizer. 2 drinks. $206. With added gratuity automatically. read more

I think people need to go see how cool this place is inside. Just went back last night and sat in the bar area or cantina side. Gustavo was our server and he was awesome! The ambiance is such a vibe. I had the shrimp tacos and they were so fresh! Also tried the la Rosa drink this time and loved it! I will say, I think the lights give off entirely too much heat on this side because we were all super warm and it was way cooler on here other side. Hopefully they can adjust the strength of those bulbs! read more

This has to be one of the best hidden gems in Indianapolis. The drinks are absolutely top tier. The vibes at night are truly like a nightclub. With that being said, I don't recommend children coming here on the weekend evenings. The service is hit or miss. We've had great service and we've had extremely slow service. I do worry that the location will hurt the business as it's pretty random. The food has been decent for the most part. This is a place to take your girlfriends for a birthday celebration! read more

food is always great. They have the best warm salsa--you just have to ask for it. It's kind of like a hidden-menu item; you have to know about it. The atmosphere is really cool with a great vibe, and if you order shots, the flight presentation is pretty fun and entertaining. read more

The ambience and decor of this place has an upscale feel. We went here for their Sunday brunch. The menu items for brunch were very innovative. Our server, David, was very helpful with the menu items. I ordered the chilaquiles with steak and eggs over easy. Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish consisting of: fried corn tortilla pieces simmered with salsa or mole and typically topped with cheese and other accompaniments (such as refried beans, sliced onions, shredded cheese and eggs) I added steak to mine and it was seasoned well and tender. Overall, a great dining experience. read more

I saw pictures on Yelp of the trees in the bar/main dining room and it reminded me so much of a restaurant my friends and I went to in New Orleans so of course I had to stop in. Plus I've been to two other El Toro locations and the food is always great. This location is a little more upscale than at least the Southport Road location, but still has that cool vibe and signature firework drinks. This time, I had the chilaquiles verdes with chicken. It was delicious! And the portion size was huge. My brother had the Carne Azada skillet from the brunch menu. The portion was much smaller on that dish but still delicious and beautifully plated. You can't go wrong with either dish. We also split the choriqueso which was delicious. They brought two complimentary salsas as well. The smaller of the two was some sort of roasted salsa was my favorite. So good! There were so many other things on the menu that looked delicious so I'm sure we'll be back! read more

I went here with an extremely large group during the day and we had a private area.

No. Or at least when we went no. Food was bland. Service was so so. One of the group members didn't like their meal (only one meal) and she asked for a refund they gave a discount.

El Toro Prime - Indianapolis - Airplane shot for the birthday girl - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The food, drinks, and service all disappointed. Ambient- Decor is nice. There was live music the night I went. While the vocals were good, the volume was just too loud. I thought I was at a club, pretty close to having to shout to my husband if I wanted him to hear anything I was saying. Food- $52 for the Huachinango Prime (red snapper) isn't terrible pricing if done well, but it was a miss for me. The sauce was a miss with the balance in flavoring- spice level was good but overall too bitter. The fish did taste fresh but the seasoning seemed like it got skipped or skimped. Also the shrimp & octopus pieces that accompany the dish were overcooked to the point of a rubbery texture. Drinks- We ordered a flight of margaritas ($60) that were very sugary and you could barely taste the tequila. My husband and I each had 2 and it didn't give us a buzz. This was also my first drinking postpartum in over a year so I know my tolerance is low right now. We ordered 2 more drinks. "Besame" $17 was the same quality as the flight of drinks. Wasn't impressed. The "volcano" $14 we did notice more alcohol and less sugar. Service- Waitresses making their own drinks instead of the bartenders??? Bartenders didn't offer us a menu at the bar for over 30 minutes so we had to ask a waitress to take our order. We had to work to get anyone's attention for service. Now I'm not coming at the staff because everyone seemed busy, but looks like management should revisit their staffing strategy and prepare better for busy night. Overall- Food and drinks were not gross, but overall this place left a lot to be desired. It was a one and done for me. read more

I was excited to visit El Toro Prime after seeing several interior photos of the restaurant. It visually did not disappoint. The decor has unique features from the beautiful greenery and unique lighting to the Dia de Muertos, Day of the Day, murals on the walls in several areas. The main bar area is warm, inviting with unique lighting and comfortable chairs. Watch for the fog coming from the base of the trees. Also, don't miss the back bar area. My husband noted it was an attractive decor but found his Chimichanga unmemorable, and he didn't come for the decor. He had requested they replace the cheese sauce with red sauce but left it off. By the time the server returned, he had already started eating after adding the table salsa, which he wasn't impressed with. Oh, and draft beer is not available here, only bottled beer. I, on the other hand, had the gorgeous bar decor plus Mexican French Toast and enjoyed it very much. The bread was lightly grilled with raspberry, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas between the slices of bread. Nutella was drizzled over the French Toast and served with Tres Leches syrup. The fruit was very fresh, and I loved the touch of Nutella with the fruit and bread. My only recommendation would be to add a side of bacon. Yes, many items are expensive on the menu. However, you can find several items under $20. We came at lunch, served daily 11:00 - 3:00, 7 days a week. Our server was great, but he did get busy right after we arrived. Our water remained full, our cocktails replaced when requested, and dirty dishes were removed promptly. I'll be returning to try several other items on the menu, but I'm not sure if my husband will return. read more

Saw the promo on Life Style Live and decided to give El Toro Prime a try. Great atmosphere and David G. our server was friendly and provided good service. The brunch menu was nice and offered a Mexican twist to some of my breakfast favs. The fruit tacos were full of berries and topped with Nutella and the Mexican skillet was savory. On a Sunday afternoon we were seated immediately, as the place was not very full. All in all, good experience, I will return again read more

The food was great! The drinks were minimal and just ok. They didn't really understand what we wanted to drink. Asked for crown and got crown apple. The list said they had jim beam but they didn't have it in stock. Went with a group and everything took a long time to receive. It didn't seem too busy but there was a private party and the wed before Thanksgiving. There seemed to be a communication issue with drinks but other than that the food was great and better than the downtown location. Got the meat platter for 2 and it was delicious. The beef ribs were scarce and didn't see chorizo. Minimal pieces of those items. Again I had more photos but they have seemed to disappear read more

Definitely a must try! We love celebrating birthdays at this location. You need to try the molcajete in a stone dish. Super yummy.

A tasty fusion of Mexican and Italian food. The margaritas were unusual and interesting.

This restaurant opened up a few months in Indy , outside seating is available but not the best furniture. The inside of establishment is very colorful with nice table and chairs. My server was nice but English wasn't good to understand me well , I ordered a virgin penacoloda and it had alcohol in it , had to send it back and she returned it with another alcohol one ( OMG ) . Food is pricey for the amount you received and it tasted ok , the mexican corn on the Cobb was the most satisfying food I enjoyed. Won't be going back. read more

The ambiance of this north side Mexican restaurant is lovely. The food is excellent. Some of the Mexican food I've had in Indianapolis. The price was very fair. The waitstaff had limited English.

I wish I could give this place a zero. I have never in all my years been so grossly disregarded. Long story short. The hostess wasn't trying to seat us. We were supposed to revive a text when a table was open. No text ever came. When we went in to check after watching floods of people exit suddenly there was a table right in front of the door. When we complained we were placed in front of a speaker. The waiter pretended to struggle with English and never came back. We sat at the table for 40 mins and watched people who were seated after us receive food and drinks. Long story shorter. Fuvk this place x1000 read more

Just.... No. The food was bland, dry, and lackluster. Service was okay but they kept coming back to the table even though they had checked in 5 minutes before. They say they have 3 Sun King beers when they only had one and they ran out of the beer my friend had ordered. The place was nice but it's obvious they are trying to be an "IG" spot. Lastly, the music was awesome when we got there but then a DJ came in and ruined the vibes. I truly won't be frequency this place. The only reason why I gave 2 stars ha because of the Sangria Margarita was good. You can get better quality Mexican food at another spot. Trust me. read more

My fiancé and I love Mexican food! So we definitely wanted to try this place. Best decision ever! This place is worth you time and money. Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. The owner ever came out and introduced himself to us and showed us around the rest of the restaurant. The owner is such a nice man and very professional!

This was our first time and I must say I was disappointed. I barely got any shrimp with a fajita that I ordered and had to ask for my soda about five times before it served which was disappointed.

Went there for the first time with some friends. They do take reservations. I believe their are several locations and you can tell they put some money into this place. I really like the main dining area, but there are also two very large dining areas on each side that looks to be able to accommodate large groups. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. They celebrate birthdays in a big way, if you have one coming up soon. This area needed this restaurant. read more
