The staff was very sweet and attentive! The staff also kept the buffet area very clean and stocked well. The food was FRESH. Tortillas were being freshly made right there. Omelet station was great, with many choices. Fresh breads, good coffee, just so many options. I was pleased, and my kids loved it as well.

Always a great place to dine in at. Never had a bad experience here for as long as I can remember. Great food. Good atmosphere. Attentive and courteous servers and employees. We went during Valentine's Day dinner and didn't have too much issues with wait times and food service. Highly recommended!!!

Found this place by chance. Visiting the area and the kids wanted Burritos. After searching Google for a decent Burrito place, we ran into El Toros. As soon as walking into the front door, you get the atmosphere of authentic Mexican food. We were seated quickly for a weekend and being lunch time. Our server, Victorio, was super awesome. Never had an empty glass at the table. Starting with the chips and salsa, the salsa had a kick that wasn't super overwhelming but not whimsy either. The chips were warm and crispy, not hard like a bag from the store. Our food came, and from the presentation to the first bite, to the last bite, it was delicious! The enchiladas had flavor throughout, as did the rice and beans. The Carne asada Burrito had so much extra inside that I thought it was a fajita in the Burrito. Even the kids' meals had the boys saying it was better than our usual spot.

I took my parents here today on Christmas Eve for all you can eat Sunday brunch, and we absolutely loved it. They are also open on Christmas for brunch, too. They had a taco station with handmade tortillas, an omelet station, a seafood section, pan dulce (sweet bread), Aguas frescas like horchata Jamaica, and pineapple, and even more to try. Plus, it comes with bottomless mimosas, plus soft drinks and coffee and juices, all for 36.00 each person. Huge bang for your buck with a gigantic selection of delicious food. Our waitress was so nice that she brought over a stack of pancakes for us to try. They tasted like churros, had berries on top, and whipped honey butter. We absolutely loved them. A mangoneada was 11.00 extra, but it was worth much more because it was huge and tasted really good. My favorites from the buffett were the sweet corn cake, birria, al pastor tacos, and flan.

Went To Sunday brunch with my mom last weekend and had a wonderful time! They changed the layout of the buffet and it works a lot better now versus how they had it. Our server Mayra was fantastic and very attentive to our drinks and dishes, making sure were always satisfied. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Sunday buffet!!! Whatever your opinion of this place is any other day of the week is, forget it. Sunday brunch is amazing, endless mimosas and great service. This place gets packed so come expecting a small wait. Karen, our waitresses, was AMAZING. We even had my MIL come from a little ways away and she loved it. This is my second time and each time has been great, the food is fresh and the drinks are flowing.

The service was wonderful! I have the chicken fajitas, which were very good, but the standout for me was their flan! Oh my gosh - it was scrumpcious and huge! Enough for two people, but I DID eat it all by myself!
