Our visit to El Toro Loco Churrascaria in Westchester, Miami, was a delightful experience from start to finish. Nestled in a lively and accessible area, the restaurant offers not only high-quality food but also outstanding customer service, creating a memorable and satisfying dining moment.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Roxana, our server for the evening. Roxana was attentive, kind, and very professional — she ensured that everything was in order and checked on us at just the right moments, without ever being intrusive. Her excellent service and friendly demeanor were a highlight of the evening, and she truly exemplifies what good customer service should be.
For the meal itself, both my mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our choices. My mother, who tends to lean toward lighter meals, ordered a vegetarian-style plate that included grilled vegetables and a portion of chicken. The dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. She was pleased with the balance of flavors, the freshness of the ingredients, and the portion size — not too small, not too overwhelming. It was a simple yet delicious combination that left her fully satisfied.
As for me, I ordered the entraña de Wagyu, a cut of Wagyu skirt steak, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Perfectly cooked to medium-rare, it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The meat was accompanied by golden mandioca (cassava) fries, which added a satisfying texture and mild crispness, and a side of white rice, similar to a fluffy Gohan, which tied the plate together in a comforting, homestyle way. The combination was just what I had hoped for — hearty, savory, and delicious.
To accompany our meal, we each had a Diet Coke. They were served chilled and perfectly carbonated, adding a refreshing touch to an already wonderful dinner. It may seem like a small detail, but even the drink service was handled with care and attention.
What really stood out throughout the meal was how El Toro Loco Churrascaria manages to blend quality food with excellent hospitality. The environment was clean and welcoming, the music was at a good volume, and the staff moved smoothly through the space. We felt comfortable and well taken care of, without feeling rushed.
In summary, El Toro Loco Churrascaria in Westchester is a restaurant we would wholeheartedly recommend. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the customer service — especially thanks to Roxana — was truly exceptional. Whether you’re a meat lover in search of the perfect Wagyu cut or someone looking for a lighter, vegetable-focused option, there’s something here for you.
We’ll certainly be back. Thank you, Roxana, for making our visit so enjoyable. And thank you, El Toro Loco, for providing such a high standard of service and flavor. Very...
Read moreThis was our 2nd time coming to this specific location. We didn’t quite enjoy our first visit however decided to give it another opportunity considering the other great experiences we’ve had in other locations. Our waiter came to the table super enthusiastic however, his mood immediately changed the minute we advised all we wanted was water for drinks. He asked if we were celebrating anything (which I assumed was in good faith) yet it was just another attempt to try and sell us alcohol. I don’t think it’s tasteful to try and force your party to drink alcohol - you don’t know if they have certain health issues that prohibit them from drinking and quite frankly that’s none of your concern. We were still waiting for the other half of our party and we didn’t see our waiter again until they showed up. Once again, super enthusiastic until they also stated they didn’t want liquor. He immediately walked away while my friend was mid-sentence and we watched as he shook his head in “disbelief” to another waitress and then proceeded to vent about our table. Long story short, without any explanation to us, he was no longer our server. He gave us off to another waitress simply because we didn’t order liquor. She wasn’t much better than he was but at least she didn’t have as much of an attitude. Also, in my order I specified that I wanted 1/2 a pound and she still brought me 1 pound. When I addressed her, she claims I never specified. Which honestly is a lie but let’s give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn’t hear me. It’s your responsibility to ask your customer how much they want, not automatically sell them the higher priced item.
It baffles me how a restaurant who sells STEAK, feels the need to upsell liquor and apps onto their customers. It became clear to me that since the tip is already included in your bill, it forces the servers to try and have you rack up your bill, so their percentage is higher. I’m not going to even bother saying I won’t be going to this location anymore because I’m sure they’re thinking “please don’t” they won’t profit from my $50 bill anyways - but it’s the principle. Stay away from...
Read moreEl Toro Loco Churrascaria is more than just a steakhouse—it’s an experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you're welcomed into a vibrant, energetic atmosphere that combines upscale Brazilian churrasco with Miami's unique flair. I’ve dined at several steakhouses across Florida, but nothing compares to what El Toro Loco offers. Hands down, this place serves the best meats in Florida.
Let’s start with the food: the selection of meats is absolutely outstanding. Every cut—whether it’s the picanha, filet mignon, lamb chops, or ribeye—is grilled to perfection and bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. The servers come around with skewers of sizzling meat, carving generous portions tableside. It's a carnivore’s dream come true. The chimichurri and house sauces elevate the experience even further, and the sides, from creamy mashed potatoes to grilled veggies, complement the meal without stealing the spotlight from the star: the meat.
But what truly sets El Toro Loco apart is the live music. The entertainment is incredible—energetic, soulful, and perfectly curated to match the rhythm of your dining experience. Whether it's a live Latin band or a talented acoustic duo, the music adds an extra layer of excitement and joy to the evening. You find yourself swaying to the beat while sipping a cocktail and waiting for the next round of mouthwatering meats. It creates a festive yet elegant vibe that turns dinner into a celebration.
The service is exceptional as well—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about all the offerings. You can feel the pride they take in delivering a top-tier experience.
