Toro Viejo Hayden — Restaurant in Hayden

Really underwhelmed by this place. Never have I seen a Mexican place with so many bell peppers in every dish. I mean, their rice, refried beens, most sauces etc. not talking about jalapeños, or other types of delicious Mexican peppers. So I ordered a Tostada with carne asada (their crab also had bell peppers), so a small plate arrives with a giant mount of lettuce. I start digging and see glimpses of the steak. The tostada was a soggy mess burried at the bottom. My sister had some black beans which saved my dinner, because otherwise nothing had flavor. We also ordered a Cadillac Margarita. It was served in a giant gobble. It would have been nice, if the drink was actually yummy. But it was not very drinkable as it was not well balanced. The atmosphere is really tired, and old looking. This would not have bothered me, if the food was delicious. But it wasn’t, so I really see no point in...

First of all our waitress had her hair back in a braid. She was professional. The other Hispanic lady, probably the bus girl, had long black hair, not pulled back at all. She was wiping down glasses with a rag of some sort, putting napkins in the glass along with silverware, all while playing and talking on her phone. Then she opened the chip drawer serving chips and salsa. Never did I see her wash her hands after playing and talking on her dirty bacteria 🦠 phone. So gross 🤢 I had two to three pieces of lettuce and 5 pieces of cheese on my 🌮. My enchilada and rice were so dry, due to being left in the oven so long. My mild salsa was great for a can of tomato sauce, horrible. Then you bring me my bill and charged us almost 2.00 for using our debit card. I don’t top on tax or other BS. We won’t...

We were there on July 7th. The last time we were there was 6 years ago on a road trip, and the food was great...but this time around it was very disappointing. I don't know what happened, but the food was sub-par. The service however was as excellent as it could be. The person who greeted us, also took our order, served our drinks, and food, as well as took the money for the check...she was also the bartender. I wish we had gotten her name, but she was a petite blonde, who never once complained, and never stopped smiling...the best part if our dining experience. If I could give her stars, she would get 10!

Get more help...and get a authentic Mexican...
