el Toro Mexican Restaurant

Oh how I wish ZERO stars were a possibility! Once again, I let my daughter talk me into placing a take out order at El Toro in Champlin. Once again, they said "10 minutes." Once again, they didn't even START to put the order together until we got there. We waited 15... minutes for ONE piece of tres leches cake. Got it home - and it was cheesecake. Unbelievable! Literally, they have NEVER gotten a take-out order correct! I don't know why I don't check the order on the counter before leaving becasue they have NEVER gotten it right! It really takes the joy out of bringing home a treat or dinner when it is grab bag surprise every time you go there. And to make matters worse, they STOPPED serving their fabulous tres leches cake and now serve a much cheaper (at the same price as before), much lower quality cake. It is one thing to put up with their crappy service for a good piece of cake - but I really would NOT encourage anyone to order from El Toro. I know that I won't ever again! Read More

THE BEST EMPLOYEES, FOOD AND MARGARITAS!!

Great restaurant! Absolutely love the food and atmosphere. Great prices and portions as well.

We love El Toro--we've always had quick and very friendly service and the food is excellent. We always choose it for our girl's nights out, too. You should try it.

El Toro is one of my favorite restaurants.
Small, family-owned atmosphere, great chips & salsa (and a really good spicy sour cream dipping sauce), and tasty rice.
My favorite is the Pollo Loro, a chicken breast pounded thin, covered with salsa ranchera, and served with rice, beans, and tortillas.
But I've enjoyed everything I've tried there.

El Toro is a family favorite. Great food and very quick service. It's always fun. The staff is very friendly.
