El Toro

There fish tacos add pineapple is the absolute best. There tres leches is lite, healthier then most - it’s just right for me. This is my little hidden gem, and after work spot. Definitely if you’re ever in North Charlotte or near Birkdale - I think you should try it out :)

Great Burrito, Authentic Vibe Inside My girlfriend and I recently stopped by El Toro in Cornelius to pick up a to-go order, and we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered a nice, big burrito that really hit the spot. It was around $22, which I felt was a little on the pricey side, but the flavor and quality made it worth it in the end. We didn’t dine in, but the atmosphere inside was surprisingly great. From the outside, El Toro doesn’t look like much — honestly, the exterior could use a refresh — but once you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, authentic Mexican vibe. The bright colors, detailed tilework, and beautiful artwork on the walls really created a full cultural experience. The chips could’ve used a bit more salt, but they were still enjoyable. The salsa stood out the most — it tasted homemade and had that fresh, authentic flavor you hope for at a place like this. The rice was also excellent. Lastly, the staff member who took our order was very friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience.

Wow, we did not know about this place! I wish we would’ve taken pictures before we ate. I ordered the Alambre which was two large skewers of chicken, steak, shrimp and vegetables. Melted butter for dipping (the seasoning you see is from the butter). It was SO GOOD!! We found our new place.

Very friendly staff and delicious food. I have been to numerous Hispanic restaurants but this one is the best food in the local area. I recommend everyone come and try at least once.

This place was okay. Salsa had no flavor. The lunch entrees were okay. Margaritas were fantastic. Cheese sauce was good. I would recommend this place.

2nd time being here..Both times have been great

Very good fajitas, good meat to veg ratio. Delicious chips and salsa. The service was a little slow with not very many customers. Plenty of staff, they just looked preoccupied with each other. Not one to complain but it just stood out. Would recommend and come back

Staff was amazing! Went above and beyond! Chicken and rice and 1/2 & 1/2 sweet tea was really good! Carne Asada steak was a bit chewy. Decent place, sat outside on the patio.
