Let's dive right into the star of the show—the carne chimichanga. Oh, what a masterpiece it was! Bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection, each bite was a tantalizing blend of tender meat, aromatic spices, and a delightful crunch from the golden, crispy shell. The balance of textures and the expertly seasoned filling was simply divine. It was clear that the chefs at El Toro Bronco take great pride in their craft, as every aspect of the dish was executed flawlessly.

They were more than happy to offer recommendations and ensure that each guest had a memorable dining experience. The warm and inviting ambiance further added to the overall enjoyment of the meal, making me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit.

To complement the outstanding food and service, El Toro Bronco also boasts a well-curated selection of beverages. The margaritas were a refreshing delight, striking the perfect balance between sweetness and tanginess. Whether you're a tequila connoisseur or prefer non-alcoholic options, the drink menu has something to cater to every palate.

In conclusion, El Toro Bronco is a true gem among Mexican restaurants. The carne chimichanga alone is worth a visit, but the entire menu is a testament to the culinary prowess of the chefs.

We went to have dinner on a Thursday. Since the beginning the hostess was very rude, no friendly or kind at all. We were celebrating my mom’s birthday, we order two carne asada plates, one chicken with rice and cheese, and one siete mares caldo. The server warned the siete mares takes 30 minutes to be ready and we were ok with that. After an hour waiting for our food I went and asked for our dinner, they told me the siete mares wasn’t ready yet (again after ONE HOUR), I told him to bring the rest of the food since we were really hungry by that time. The carne asada plates were ok, the chicken with rice was awful, since the moment we saw the plate we knew it wasn’t good, my son tried it the rice was so dried, it seemed like it was heated and re heated many times. The siete mares caldo was ok, the flavor was a lot like tomato and not chipotle, I’ve tried better siete mares at other places and I wouldn’t recommend this one. Plus service wasn’t the greatest. I don’t understand the hype for this...

I really wanted to like this place, I had been looking forward to my visit. We went on a Friday afternoon, so I expected them to be busy. Service was good and the server was attentive. However, the food left a lot to be desired. We order the sampler plate appetizer and our food was lukewarm at best. The chips and salsa were good though, I hate rancid chips, but their chips tasted fresh. The fried ice cream which we were looking forward to, because it brings me back to my childhood of visiting the now defunct Acapulco’s restaurant…well that was not freshly made. Fried ice cream is one of those things that need to be made to order…this was not the case. You can easily tell it had been made a few hours prior, considering that the outside coating was cold and soggy. As much as I wanted to like it, sadly, I didn’t and will not...
