Amazing food, good, friendly service. We have been coming here for 33 years. We've tried other Mexican food places and always come back here. read more

The Mexican Food is pretty good considering the area. Maybe I'm in over my head but I ordered taquitos and I'm pretty sure I got a chimichanga instead. I never once seen taquitos rolls like a burrito. Server was nice but didn't seem on it. We ordered our food then my other half asked for a glass that came after the food was dropped. To top it off she dropped a plate on our table that wasn't ours then walked away and came back to say that she made a mistake and took the plate away. I would have gave them a 3 stars but the experience kinda ruined it for me. Hopefully if you're reading this you still check it out and have a different (better) experience than me! read more

Family owned delicious Mexican food. My favorite in North Idaho. I love the tamales, they are simply the best!

Staff was super friendly. I appreciated the normal portion sizes so I was not stuffed by the end of my meal. I had a combo with enchilada and chimichanga both chicken and very good. Will definitely go again. read more

We were greeted at the door and had good, friendly service throughout our visit. It has the Mexican decor that is expected and everything was clean. Everyone enjoyed their entrees from burritos to arroz con pollo were well presented and delicious. read more

I want to leave 5 stars for the food, but service stole a star. I'd prob take more off the review but the food was solid enough for me to let this poor service slide this visit. Entrees: our actual food was great! The best Verde and Colorado we have found. Everything came out hot and delicious. The rice didn't have filler veggies in it and the beans were flavorful. Chips and salsa: The salsa was very mild and somewhat bland, but we love heat. Think of it as a homemade pace salsa but slightly more saucy. Chips were pretty on par with other restaurants. Service: We tried to be considerate that everywhere is under staffed but it really took away from our experience. Everything was so slow to come out (serving part of 2 different groups at the same time and leaving half our group with no food for a bit), we ordered a second margarita that we were charged for that we never received, the server was not attentive and forgot many things (our salsa, refills, silverware). read more

Toro Viejo - Tres Compadres - Mexican Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

Felix is great, salsa is worth trying!! (Hot) the tacos are good, huevos rancheros is very good, this place is worth trying!

Reliably consistent. Wonderful servers. Terrific chips and salsa. Plus they have mild too! All the generally expected offerings are on their menu plus there are several specialty items. The bar provides large beverages that are always a hit. Comfy seating. Tables can be merged for large groups. Always a pleasant experience! read more

The quality of the food and the prices do-not match. Quite disappointing. This restaurant used to be the "go to"place in Hayden for Mexican, but not anymore. Toro Viejo you need to step-up your game and win back your customers! read more

This place is the finest of fine! Everything taste wonderful here. The service is perfect. The ambience is terrific. Just try it!

My wife and I went her tonight for the first time. We were severely disappointed!! We never even got our food we just left. We got there about 6:20pm and by 7:05 pm we paid for our beer and left. Jonathan was AMAZING!! We watch him running around answering phones taking orders delivering food answering phones!! The user was also working hard!! The 2 ladies on third especially the one with the butterfly tattoo were LAZY!! NOT WORKING but a Talking with a table Jonathan had already cleaned got a che k and also given to go boxes!! Jonathan was busting his ass!! Yet the ladies working were not!! I will not ever wast time going back to this place!! Once again I will give praise to the hard working Jonathon!! Good work!!! read more

First time stopping by, nice clean dining room, just a bit cold but the combo appetizer and a couple 4 margaritas made up for it, friendly staff will be back! read more

Toro Viejo - a little girl sitting at a table with a plate of food and a drink - Mexican Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

I have had better Mexican food from a gas station! Even the beer was flat. Service was slow at best and we were one of two customers. The food is horrible. Do not recommend read more

We enjoyed our dining experience. Very friendly staff. Food was spot on and the margaritas were excellent. The restaurant was very clean. Prices are lower than other Mexican restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you are wanting Mexican food. read more

If you had never had true Mexican or Tex Mex food, then the food here might be for you. Over all the food is very bland, very little mexican flavor. The salsa was so bland, I had to add salt to it, to get any flavor other than water down tomato juice. I ordered Chichen Enchalidas Ranchera style and I cleaned my plate, cause the food is not bad it is eatable, just flavor less. I am orginaly from Texas and love mexican food, and try to eat it in various states. CdA does have good mexican, but this is not the place. read more

Like others, I would have gone ed with 5 stars, but the service is very challenged. That being said, the food quality was being maintained at s high level. I wasn't in a rush, so it was worth the wait. I had the Jennifer's chimichanga which was a unique sauce that involved spinach. A good spin in s traditional dish. We'll be back, but when we bring our friends, we'll make sure they have the extra time. If I had to warn anyone about this restaurant, the plate was extremely hot. read more

First time I've eaten here and it will be my last. The food was very disappointing, bland and watered down.

Dirty and needs a serious cleaning. The tacos were in pre made shells. They have good drinks. I personally would not recommend to anyone.

Horrible food! Not the same as it was several years ago! Chips and salsa not fresh and food was dry and just not worth going back

I have been to this place before but with people I didn't really know, so the experience wasn't very notable. I finally made it back yesterday with a good friend and we had a great time! They have mild salsa but we asked for the spicy and it was delicious. We also ordered margarita and the cost for a Cadillac Margarita is only 8 bucks! Not to mention that they make their own margarita mix so you don't suffer any acid reflux or heartburn later. The food is delicious!!. I have tried the tacos and Chili Verde and loved both! The service is amazing! They are a family run restaurant and the service is excellent. I was so impressed, I came two days in a row and cant wait to bring my Mom. What I don't get is why a person would go to Ranchi Viejo (bleh) when this place is down the street. I definitely recommend this Toro Viejo!! read more

Absolutely DO NOT GO HERE. I tried to call in an order and apparently the people that work here are disgustingly rude! I have celiac and am allergic to gluten. I was nice and just asked what was gluten free. The response was ignorant and rude! The lady says "we are busy and don't have time for questions if you have questions you can look at the menu". Obviously this person was ignorant and dumb because your menu doesn't explain allergens! I couldn't believe how rude they were. So I guess they'd rather me order their dumb food and end up in the hospital and sue them for negligence! read more

Nail Banger Here Again: I just had to Write a Review Parking Lot Full? Don't Let that Fool You. Drinks Weak ,No Tequila Flavor Whatsoever in Mararita. Carne Asada for $22 ,Not Much Food. Chile Relleno had Zero Cheese. Potion Size is a Joke. This is Gringo Food. They Have Three Locations this One is in Hayden. The Others are Post Falls and Coeur D` Alene. Meal with Tip $60.00, For $30 of Bad Play on Mexican Cuisine.Were From Tucson We Know Mexican read more

Great Mexican food!! The service was excellent and clean atmosphere. The salsa was a little too mild but the chips were fresh and warm .

Our favourite Mexican place to go to!! Very friendly atmosphere, clean and great food. read more

Ignore the haters. Those who gave one and two stars are speaking from a lofty mound atop their navel staring cult of hatin'. I've been dining here for 30 years and the food is consistent, authentic, and delicious. All Mexican restaurants are judged by their burritos and their salsa. Both of Toro Viejo's are spoken of in hushed and reverent tones both here and afar. They've retained the same fabulous staff for years and those people never stop moving. If you're lucky enough to stop in when grandma is cooking then buckle your seatbelt honey. read more

This was our first visit to the Hayden location as we usually go to the downtown CDA location and absolutely love the food and the service. Unfortunately this location was disappointing. The food was mediocre at best. Hardly and flavor. I was excited to try the new menu item fajita chimi and it was pretty much all regrows beans onions and peppers and I had a hard time finding the shredded chicken. The chips with salsa were stale and the Mexican rice had no taste at all. My husband ordered the burrito Blanca and his looked good and tasted good but again, not a lot of flavor like we are used to at the other location. Our waitress was ok, not rude but not real friendly. It was just an overall so-so experience. read more

It seemed like the food was microwaved. The Estrella beer was flat. The food overall was disappointing however the young lady who got our drinks was super sweet and on top of it! read more

Nice Clean & Bright Mexican Restaurant, lots of parking, Friendly staff & good service with authentic tasting Mexican food, salsa is very good chip texture changes from thin to thick at times but foods very good & the bathrooms are large, large enough for a wheel chair & they are always clean. read more

The best Mexican food in the area. I moved here from southern California and I'm used to really great Mexican food and I've been craving it since I moved here. I'm so happy to have found this place. Service was also great. This will be my go to for Mexican food from now on. read more

I was pretty disappointed. The decor and ambiance isn't there. They don't have an alcoholic drink menu...? And I ordered a desert plate with vanilla ice cream, sopapilla and flan. They were out of flan so I ended up with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and some sugar chips with whipped cream for $6. My Spanish rice was burnt and dry. The waitress didn't know the menu very well. read more

Consistently good Mexican food. I have eaten here and the one in Rathdrum more times than I could count and I've never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, the food hot and delicious and the restaurant is always clean. I'm a fan of the Mexican Stir-fry, of the Chicken variety with soft tacos of course! Between me, my parents and my friends we've tasted practically everything and none have been a disappointment. read more

Pretty good, after reading reviews I was not expecting much ... however after eating my shrimp chile relleno (which was delish!!) I felt compelled to write a review... my bf had burrito frito with pork and he felt it was good if you are not expecting traditional mexican food. Since entering the restaurant it kind of gave me a chevys/chilis vibe, American Mex vibe so immediately I knew what to expect. I definitely rather come here than those establishments. Our waitress was super friendly, attentive, and efficient. All staff seemed happy and appreciative. Atmosphere was welcoming and their chips were sooooo good! Warm and crunchy! Their beer on tap and margaritas were HUGE!!! Advice to the haters on yelp: if you want traditional mexican you gotta go to San Diego,ca. That is the only place I have been where it truly tastes authentic and I live in SF where we have tons of mexican food! read more

Service was excellent, however food was mediocre and lacked flavor.

Good food and great service. The place is dumpy and needs a remodel/new furnishings but great operators otherwise. I like the atmosphere in the CdA location better but service is not as good there, so take your pick. Love the Mexican stir fry!!!! read more

One of our go-to places for dinner. Love the arroz con pollo and pollo ala crema.

Just finished dinner at Toro Viejo. I've eaten here several times and haven't been disappointed. The chips were warm and the salsas delightful. The casuela verde was fantasitc. Wife's taquitos were very good, crispy and not greasy at all. Gerania (mom & daughter share same name) the daughter was wonderful and the staff very prompt, polite and friendly. A great place to get some mexican food in Hayden. read more

Toro Viejo - Casuela Verde- a fantastic chicken, mushroom, and onion "mexican stew" with green chile sauce served hot with warm tortillas! - Mexican Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

We have tried most of the mexican food restaurants in the area and decided to try this one too. We were very pleased with the lunch menu and tried a combo and chicken carnitas. Everything was excellent. Seasoned just right not overly salty. The chips have a fresh corn flavor. We will be back. read more

First, walked in and waited for 10 minutes to be seated and they weren't that busy. The server was not terribly attentive. We ordered hot salsa as the mild tasted like ketchup and it took 15 minutes to get it. Our drinks sat for even longer needing a refill and we finally had to ask someone else as our server never came back to our table except to bring our check. Food was very bland and needed some seasoning. Definitely not a good experience. read more

We just left because I turned my burrito back into them it was a joke it was literally a rolled tortilla with canned chicken in it. The can shape still intact. A sprinkle of cheese...that's it. For the macho burrito! Terrible. Can't even fold a burrito. And the beans? Crunchy. Microwaved too long read more

Toro is our go-to Mexican food place. Great service. Great food. We always get our food fast.
