El Toro Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Arcola

I ordered this on GrubHub so cannot attest to the service/atmosphere. The food however is a different story…

Got 2 a la carte tacos and for $4.00 EACH, I would have hoped they were not soggy and came with more than a sprinkle of onions and cilantro. Also, disliked how they put cheese on them by default. Maybe this is on Grubhub because no options to edit the taco was present.

Quesobirria tasted “eh” — the meat amount was skimpy and had only 1 corner of a burnt lime. What I did appreciate was that they had 4 tacos instead of the usual 3 you get at other restaurants. Plus, they added in the consumé. For $17, this was a waste of money.

Enchilada tasted like they used red enchilada sauce you get in the can without warming it up and it looked inedible.

On the up side, the fajita rice bowl w/ chicken tasted amazing and was the highlight of our order (including the free chips and salsa).

All in all, we would not be ordering again and would not recommend to others. Like other reviewers, we fell victim to the high positive review count — something I can’t understand because the food is sub par at best. Maybe some people haven’t had good Mexican...

server was pleasant in the beginning, food was horrible and expensive, taco bell would have been a better option as that's pretty much what they served just taco bell taste and looks better, nothing authentic about this place except Mexican servers! stopped here cause of other reviews but don't understand what anyone was thinking when reviewing unless the staff / owners review their self! would not reccomend this place to anyone. (ordered the dinner #4 which came with 1 enchilada 1 taco and 1 tostada, never have I had an enchilada made of hamburger meat.... p.s. the taco was also hamburger meat which came on a hard shell and burnt, enchilada was hamburger meat also and looked horrific didnt even taste, no rice or beans for $10.50) the server told the cook I didnt eat the food and they started talking about me! lol not professional at all. wish I would have taken a pic of this garbage cause everyone...

Absolutely overcharged for pitchers of margs at $30 being followed into believing there was a price at around $10 for a special. Brought this up with the servers and ended up paying a $100 meal. I have never once spent this much money from a Mexican restaurant I have lived by New Mexico as well as encounters and dined at various Mexican restaurants. I was absolutely insulted when bringing up and discussing the price. I was a guest in Arcola and respectively told them the prices and advertisement was unfair. They did not care. I will not be back. I also can understand Spanish and the workers were talking inappropriately. I do not advise this place as professional or where you would care to...
