    Really good food. Chimichuri steak and steak fajitas are awesome. The margarita flight is super good as well. Try the brownie desert it's fun for the kiddos

    Veggie fajitas

    Nice new sit down option in Vail. Interior decor cute. Very spacious areas. Came at lunch and they had a pretty steady crowd. Servers very nice and attentive. Chips and salsa good. Salsa not spicy but had a nice fresh taste to it. Poblano enchiladas very good and filing. Veggie enchiladas were tasty per my friend although she did recommend they add mushroom as a protein to them. Very limited vegetarian options on menu. Prices seem fair. Will definitely be back.

    Okay, SO, important to note that Toro Bravo has been open two days (including today). That generally translates to be patient and aware that a restaurant is still getting its sea legs and staff is stabilizing to new service norms. I call this out because in the initial 28 (yes I was counting) minutes of being seated ... I was saying that very mantra in my brain and as I watched lots of staff just bustling by us and our server was non existent. To be fair, the hostess that sat us immediately came over and brought water, ice tea for my husband and a team member brought some chips and salsa so technically we were not ignored... we also had another team member stop by at 15-20 and asked us if we had been helped (nope) and she was 100% dedicated to getting a server over to us which I was appreciative of. Anyway, it was totally worth extending my normal level of patience and staying the course here for an early dinner. Oh, and it is worth sharing it was not super busy at this time given it was around 3:10PM. Our server was finally identified 25-30 minutes later and came over (she was very apologetic and sweet) so we could throw down our order - I did a Jalapeno Marg with some Shrimp Enchiladas and my husband did the Grilled Fajitas (not be confused with their Traditional Fajitas). The margarita came out pretty quickly (maybe there was steam coming out of my ears) and was very tasty... not to spicy not too mild. The food also arrived pretty quickly once things got rolling for us. The food was absolutely terrific. FRESH, full of robust flavor and all of my attitude quickly melted away. My husband loved his fajitas and my shrimp enchiladas were outstanding. Even though I did not finish my meal, had to go for the churros. Not every place can pull churros off even though you may think it is an easy thing to throw on a plate. I was raised in San Diego and would constantly hop the border into TJ and would ALWAYS have the churros from various street vendor carts (the best churros on the planet) and these were THAT good. While our first visit started a bit shaky, it did not end that way at all thanks to Desiree winning my heart over and a quick chat with an owner. Hey patience is not one of my virtues in any realm, but their food and service is worth a little grace given its early days for Toro Bravo. We will definitely be regulars here as I have waited 19 years for a great Mexican restaurant within 5 miles of my house.

    Everything was great! I can't wait to go back and have the Chimichurri Steak (9oz)! And then everything else on the menu. Service was great, restrooms were clean, and food was delicious!

    We arrived early on a weekday for dinner and the parking lot was already really busy. They run Happy Hour from 2:00-4:00 p.m. every Monday through Friday. The restaurant interior is pretty large with multiple rooms, tables, booths, and a bar. The host stand had several people working there and we were seated right away. It did take awhile for our waitress to stop by with waters and to take our order, however she seemed to have quite a few tables assigned. This Mexican restaurant just opened a few weeks ago, so understand they are still working some of the service kinks out. It would great to have the hosts and busboys do water, chips, and salsa refills for the tables to assist the waitstaff, since there seemed to be several of them just walking around or hanging out in groups. I tried the quesa birria tacos, which were very greasy and dripping oil. A friend had the rib eye, which was a thinner cut that continued to cook on the hot rock they serve it on. If you do not remove the steak early on, your steak will become well done quickly. I also tried the spicy cucumber mojito. My first one was great, however the second one I received tasted like straight jalapeño juice. It seems like they need to continue to work on consistency and quality of both drinks and food.

    The Food Is Delicious Tried 4 Amazing Plates From the Chile Rellenos to New York Strip to Authentic Red Mexican Rice on The Side. Not to Mention the Desserts. Aside from the food the Family behind the restaurant is the real Gem to this Business. They are the cornerstone of what makes Vail, Sahuarita, Corona de Tucson and Tucson a Great place to live. This Family continues to push forward the boundaries of what it means to serve great food with Amazing Service. Thank you to all the staff and the owners that made our visit special.

    Dinner and a show! Group of 4 dining for the first time in this newly opened restaurant. Started dinner with a blood orange margarita which was huge and delicious. Need fajitas came out sizzling and a fluid was added to start a flame on the food. The beef was tender with plenty of veggies and condiments. The tacos gobernador was soooo delicious. The beef was grilled and tender and the shrimp was tender, not at all chewy. Delicious all around. The service was great and the busboys were very attentive to us.

    Poblano Enchiladas

    I was super excited to try this place as their sister restaurant Dos Hermanos in Rita Ranch is so good! I know they are new but unfortunately they have a lot to improve on. I wish they had the same vibe, service, food and ambiance that 2 Hermanos does. The restaurant in itself is pretty bare bones, and I noticed a lot of the benches had holes in them. I guess they recycled the furniture from the last place? We were seated at a bench ( that was not secured to the floor) and it kept moving around. Somebody else was seated behind us, and every time they moved, my husband got pushed into the table. I've seen others commenting about this in reviews, and I also saw that Toro bravo management commented and said they would fix it, but apparently they have not yet. We love Mexican street corn so we ordered the Corn Esquites appetizer. It was a huge disappointment! I would recommend not ordering this. It said it was corn off the cob with sour cream, lime, cotija, chile powder, and cilantro. My husband said that it tasted like canned corn that they literally just dumped into a bowl, and added a few drizzles of sour cream to the top. It had very little flavor and hardly any Cotija cheese. It was super watery. It was definitely not corn off the cob like it was advertised. Also, this appetizer was supposed to come with chips. It didn't come with the extra chips as advertised. Luckily, we had not eaten all of chips they give you when you sit down so we had to use those for the appetizer. He got the chimichurri steak which was not cooked to his specifications. He said it was OK. I got the Poblano Enchiladas, and they were not seasoned. I actually had to ask for salt, which is not on the table?? The chips and salsa were good. Unfortunately, the service was also not amazing. We had to ask for refills and the server was not unfriendly, but was also not warm and inviting like the servers are at Dos Hermanos. It's interesting that these two restaurants are owned by the same people because everything is so different from the vibe to the service to the food. We will definitely go back and give it another try because we know how hard it is to open a new restaurant and we know that they have succeeded with one of their other restaurants. I feel like they should close for a couple of weeks and retrain the staff and redevelop their menu a little. Pros: hostesses were very friendly, and we were seated immediately. We bought chips and salsa right away and they were good. Cons: Ambiance ( old benches not secured to floor) Food- not prepared correctly and not consistent with menu, lacks seasoning in some cases Waitstaff- mediocre

    We eat here a lot. Been coming here for quick food for at least 10 years…read more We were in the drive thru line one evening and were stopped about 3 cars back. We had a good view of the outside door facing the vehicle line (pretty sure it was the bathroom) and there was brown liquid seeping out from underneath the door onto the concrete sidewalk. It was not something that made you hungry for sure. An awful site. I would move that door or close it off. A dumb place for it. Other than that, it was fixed the next time we went. We have NEVER gotten sick here at Fito's Taco Shop. That's how I judge these places and will return until the day I do. Employees wash their hands well and keep clean kitchen area. On the other hand, their competitors (other Mexican mobile food vehicles ie: (roach coaches) parked between the tracks in the past) we did get sick. WE GOT REAL SICK, (like a virus sickness, horrible week of fever) the first time we went, and then stopped going to those mobile food vendors FOREVER after that. At Fito's Taco shop, their burritos have always been massive and delicious. If you take them apart, the tortillas are about 20 inch diameter or larger. Short wait times in their drive thru is what I like. Friendly people at the window that I have always tipped. So, 5 stars minus one star for that day something backed up but that wasn't really their fault was it? And, they apparantly called it in right? They get all 5 stars. Tip them well folks.

    This place is a favorite with the locals, but unfortunately, the food is below average. I did like…read morethe chips, but other than that, the meat was pretty low quality, and as you can see, they don't even use any authentic Mexican queso cheese. Shredded cheddar is not very authentic, but neither are nachos, one could argue. The atmosphere reminds me of a 1980's run down Taco Bell. Service was fine. I know there is not a lot of options in the area, I would just travel farther for better food.
