My card was initially declined and the gals behind the counter were all giddy when I had to go and get another card from my car. When I came back, the man who came in behind me paid for it.

Right. They left out my side of jalapeños and cookie. I'd say whoever owns the store needs to pay a better rate and get some decent staff.

Atmosphere - Retro dinner like place without the counter top. Lots of funny things on the walls. Food Drink - Coffee, just black. Breakfast - While in Metropolis you need to have something named after the star. I had the Superman. The Superman is the Loaded Haystack with two eggs and toast. The Loaded Haystack is hash brown, bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, tomatoes and topped with ton of cheddar cheese. The haystack was loaded for sure, I was full after that. Service - What you needed. The waitress did everything front of the house. Future - Probably as I have another trip to the area soon.

We were very impressed with our meal at El Toro Loco. Passing through town and in need of a filling…read moremeal, I spotted this option and it was a new one for us--the other positive reviews confirmed it for us. For those who say "all Mexican places" like this are "the same," I have news for you--they're not. Not even the supposed "Americanized" Mexican restaurants that populate various small towns around the country are "all the same". El Toro Loco proves that in multiple ways. The quality of food we had here was fantastic-- my wife had the street tacos with chicken. Three simple ingredients: chicken, cilantro, and corn tortillas. But each was top notch and together they were about as good as a taco can get. I went for the El Cabellero which was a nice sampler of multiple items: 1 chicken enchilada, 1 beef burrito, chile relleno, cheese quesadilla, and rice. The quality of every ingredient was noticeable. A simple cheese quesadilla is usually unimpressive-- not this one. Served in a crispy flapover tortilla filled to the brim with warm, smoky cheese, it was pure comfort food. The chile relleno was cooked to perfection, the mole sauce on the burrito truly great, the rice a step up from what you'd expect with real tomato flavor. Even the ground beef was good. Chips were thin, crispy and fresh, and the salsa had bite. I ordered a medium margarita and it was stout and flavorful. Our server was friendly, prices were fair, and everything was clean and welcoming. I've had a lot of mediocre Mexican food and this one was a fantastic surprise tucked away in an unassuming location. Will definitely return.

Atmosphere - Like most of downtown Metropolis they are located within an old building. They managed to keep the charm of the bricks alive and well with the modifications they needed to run their business. Food Drink - Large mocha, the temp was just right for drinking. The drink was a little chalky in texture. Pastry - No sure what they called it, the receipt states Danish/Pastries. I could go along with Danish. They should label the goodies. The blueberries where great, the pastry was a little over cooked. Service - My cashier was blah. Like she did not want to be here. Maybe cause I was not a regular, she seemed friendlier with them Future - Maybe on my next business trip.

Atmosphere - Old building with dining in a large room. Mostly filled with locals at long tables. We sat at a 4 person table in the corners. Food Drink - Coffee served with a spoon in it. I take my coffee just black. Breakfast - I went with the 2 eggs, Choice of bacon, sausage or ham, with toast or biscuits and gravy. I had too 2 eggs over easy, got medium, sausage that looked like bacon, and the biscuit and gravy could have had more gravy on the thin biscuit. Service - After we placed our order our waitress had to visit us and ask me how I want my eggs. I took 25 minutes to receive food. The clock is ticking and I was not sending the bacon back because I ordered sausage. Future - Maybe as I have another trip to the area soon.
