The man at the front (I wish I got his name) was awesome. He was so friendly and even comped our diet coke and jarritos. We started with chips and guac. The portion of guac was so generous and it was so creamy and flavorful with the seasonings, tomato, and onion. I got a chicken burrito and it was the best burrito that I can remember having. It was a big portion and the sauces on top really made the dish. That avocado crema was amazing. We finished with a tres leches that had such bright flavors and a perfect texture. Ambiance is super casual and restaurant was very well heated. A great cozy spot for some amazing Mexican food!

Unfortunately, visited during Cinco de Mayo, place was packed, so service wasn't that quick and there were few mixups. I don't know how it is during normal days, so giving a pass.

I am 0/2 at this restaurant. The first time I stopped by on my way home. Went inside and asked to…read moreorder take out, but was told the kitchen was closed despite the fact that every site said closing time was an hour later and a couple of tables were still occupied along with seats at the bar...Okay... My second attempt was on Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, for a meetup. It was my first time meeting everyone so of course the first question I asked our server was if they could split checks. I was told they could do that, not an issue. Great! 30 minutes later, as we were STILL waiting for our drink order, our server comes back and says the manager informed her that they were not going to be able to do separate checks. We argued back and forth, tried suggesting multiple compromises, explained the situation, but our server said no because she had already put the drink orders in. She finally asks if we are staying or leaving. That's when I became annoyed--didn't you just say you couldn't accommodate us because our drink orders were in? If you can cancel then you can accommodate. There were still multiple empty tables so I asked if she could just charge my order to an empty table and close me out immediately. She still said no because we aren't at that table (I'm not sure what difference it made since she was going to close it immediately anyway). I didn't appreciate the attitude I got from her because I had specifically asked about splitting checks, if she was frustrated she needed to deal with it better. While I can understand limiting checks on a busy night, you had already agreed that splitting the check was ok at the beginning of the evening before things got super packed. The courteous action was to at least honor that. I only had $20 with me so I changed my order to one margarita. Ultimately, It took an hour just to get our drinks then another hour for food and half the orders were wrong so they had to go back to the kitchen. They even brought me an order of wings (which I rejected) because they saw me with just my drink and assumed an order was missing and the person next to me had ordered wings. Drink: The margarita was really good and strong, but a little sweet because they weren't using fresh limes. I can't understand why it took an hour though. I'm SO glad I stuck to my drink, because of course it was a hot mess paying the bill with 7 strangers, with one suspected attempted dashing??? (Drama!!) I dropped my $20 and went home. I think I'll take the hint from the universe and stick to the other Mexican spot for a while.

It was karaoke night, people were drunkenly singing Latino favorites.

Toro Loco has amazing food and such a fun atmosphere. Everything I've had there has been delicious,…read moreand the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. I especially love the outdoor dining area. It's really nice to sit outside when the weather is good. I just wish there was a little more seating available outdoors because it's such a great space. The inside is also very cute and lively, but it can feel a little crowded at times, especially during busy hours. One thing to keep in mind is that it's not the most handicap accessible, which may be difficult for some people. They also do not do separate checks, so that's helpful to know before going with a group. They are also closed Mondays. Overall, the food and atmosphere definitely make it worth visiting, and I would still recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican food in South Orange.

They allow…read moreoutside food during private events (along with ordering from their menu and using the bar), which is a nice perk. This time, I stopped in on a Friday night to check out the upstairs. The drinks were a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious and strong without skimping. The daiquiri and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlights of the night. The food was just okay. The garlic shrimp were pretty good, but the rice lacked flavor and the refried beans were barely a tablespoon spread across the plate. We also had the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which was just alright -- the shrimp were a little tough. Service was great. The waiter was friendly and attentive and moved fast! Overall, it's a fun vibe and a great spot to hang out and catch up over drinks, but I'd come more for the bar than the food. There's a municipal parking lot a short walk from the main entrance.

Once we entered we got greeted by the host and got seated promptly. The place was pretty big inside and was not too loud. Ordered the tacos pollo ($14) which came in 4 and was pretty good. Also got the sopes carnitas ($15.10) which also came in 4 and was really filling and delicious. I like the sope better. The Coca Cola ($3.25) is the glass bottle type that you see at Mexican restaurants. Overall this is a solid Mexican spot and I would recommend this place if you are in the mood for tacos and sopes. * Great service

I was in the neighborhood delivering packages (wearing a neon netted vest) and asked the older lady…read morein the front if I could use the bathroom and let her know I was doing deliveries in the area. She seemed as if she didn't understand so I asked her if she understood what I was saying. She waved her hand toward the bathroom and said "okay". When I went to open the door it was locked. I said, "oh sorry" and then waited patiently. She comes out, I go in. As I'm leaving I say, "Thank you". When I'm almost to the door the young worker said, "you're not supposed to use the bathroom". I turned around and asked her to repeat herself. After I explained the earlier exchange with the lady that said I could use it she actually said I was lying. I told her I wasn't, but then explained to her that we all are working on the same side of servicing the community, we should be sticking together, and there is nothing wrong with allowing a delivery person to use the restroom. She continued to be argumentative and say I wasn't supposed to and that I was lying. This establishment was completely empty during the afternoon on a Friday. I have decided to leave this review because, as a black woman, I cannot be sure if her disrespect was racially motivated, especially in this social climate. I would never recommend someone patron a business that treats potential customers in such a classless and demeaning manner. It's unfortunate that she felt so comfortable being so disrespectful to a grown woman despite being addressed respectfully. The owner needs to sit her down and explain how the way she handled that was inappropriate and how split decisions can affect business. She definitely has some maturing to do.

The wine michelada was just OK, though I'm not an avid michelada drinker. It was made with care though. What WAS excellent though was the chicken molé poblano. I would have liked a bit more rice, but maybe because they are so generous with the delicious malty brown Oaxacan style chili pepper and Mexican chocolate sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly tender. My girlfriend's chicken fajita was very well done also. Service is good. We will be back.

Secondly, there were only a few people in the restaurant. The food itself was quite expensive compared to the overall experience, easily comparable to most establishments in Manhattan. Even though I really liked the ambiance with music and spaciousness, it felt strange spending about $100 for a dinner of two people. I did like the indoor decor and felt like the restaurant had a ton of potential but I just wasn't prepared for the sticker shock and lack of menu depth.
