I couldn’t eat another bite! I love bringing my family here to enjoy my favorite Capitola Mexican spot. I get the Chile Verde every time because it’s the closest I’ve had to my mom’s delicious dish. Everyone else loves their meals here as well. Thank You El Toro! We’ll be back again and again.

Excellent tasty food, wonderful personalized service - felt like I was at a friend’s kitchen. They also have a dedicated vegan menu. Veggie friendly tamales. Their chicken and meat dishes were also really fresh and tasty. Definitely get the chimichangas and the guac

A family restaurant with a long standing tradition (three generations) of serving made from scratch meals that are affordable. It also features home made sangria and has a good selection of draft beers.

The staff were friendly and seated us quickly. We were the only guests during our entire time there (6:30pm). The dining area appeared clean and presentable. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. The food was not good. The biggest disappointment was the meat. The carne asada was ground up and flavorless. I would never eat here again. Also, the menu lists pricing for very basic items, then charges extra for every little thing. Want rice, cheese, or anything, pay extra. I would suggest a vegetarian price and meat price to make it simpler. Exact price doesn't matter so charge more if needed to give a better experience.

You're paying for the location, not the food! I went because they say they have been there since 1967, so I thought the food would be great... unfortunately, not the case. I never send food back, I will eat anything that is edible but my Carne Asada burrito, which they charged $1.50 extra for the meat, came out tasting off putting. I think the meat was old, it tasted like it had turned bad. I had to send the burrito back and ask for the chicken instead. The food did not taste like they cared at all. It was very boring and honestly pretty flavorless. The server was great, very accomidating. I still tipped her 20%.

Came here for dinner, got the El Torrero with a chili relleno and spinach enchilada with beans and rice, and my partner got a super burrito. The food tasted really fresh and not too heavy! For vegetarians, there's a decent number of options and their service is friendly!

One of the best burritos I have ever had the pleasure of stumbling across. Had a delightful experience with a friendly staff.

Got a burrito from here and was honestly kinda disappointed. The burrito was not nearly as flavorful as I expected it to be, which is fine, but it was abysmal as leftovers. I love to have Round 2 on my burritos the next meal, but this one was gross and soggy.
