El Toro — Restaurant in Town of Amherst

Before coming to this place everyone should consider somewhere else. The disrespectful response to a rating only shows the ignorance on managements part. Came to dinner with my family for graduation weekend and we were met with hostility, rudeness, and lack of professionalism. We were met with rude waiters and management from the moment sitting in a booth. The way the manager came over to my father, pointed as well as putting his face in my father’s face was the most disrespectful thing. Reviewing cameras could have only shown the lack of professionalism of the workers here at this restaurant. There is not reason that could justify that kind of behaviors in a business. The owners should reconsider their workers. After apologizing for the waiter as well as offering a discount on our bill was not needed , however it was given because the manager made it clear that it was the waiter at fault. Taking my father away from dinner was extremely uncalled for and no way can make it okay. Being openly disrespectful in response to other reviews only will push out further customers. Claiming my father was a police man is also extremely weird… the many comments made about extra charges on the bill never happened and quite frankly the cost was never going to be an issue. The only issue was the waiters response when we asked for more , waiter Lily never once said it would be an extra charger and if she did it wouldn’t have been a problem. Your rudeness towards me and my family on a special day was entirely uncalled for as well as the lying and untrue remarks.

Do not eat here, promise you will leave with only negative things to say about the people...

I've only been once, but the food and the service made a good first impression. Surrounded by corporate food this is a good alternative.

I had the carnitas lunch special and my daughter had the fajita burrito lunch special, which were both served with beans and rice. The portions were nice for lunch, but I could've used a tablespoon or two more of the rice. However, priced at $8.99 each there's really no reason to complain.

As far as taste goes the carnitas were on point. A little different cut from what I'm used to, but I know that depends on the region the cooks/owners are from. The grilled or sauteed onions & peppers were picture perfect and tasted good with the pork. The rice and refried beans were both fresh and tasty.

My daughter's burrito was good, and I plan on going back to get my own. If it's as good as hers was I'm going to CRUSH IT!! I'd rather have a dinner portion though, because it was that tasty. The fajita chicken and beef were seasoned well, and again those peppers and onions were sauteed perfectly.

The service was really good. The guys were nice and laid back, but at the same time they were attentive. We're definitely...

Definitely different from your run of the mill Tex-Mex food. Margaritas are not from a bag too. They're huge! A bit of a cleaning smell when you walk in....but I'd rather that then the smell of poop or mold. We got here often and get the Molcajete Mar and share it! Soooo much food!

Editing Unfortunately. This place has new owners and the food, menu and drinks changed :( The Molcajete Mar does not exist anymore...they have 2 new versions but neither are pescetarian but you can ask for one of them to have the meat taken out, but the make up is totally different. if you expect it to be the same as before, you'll be disappointed. We used to dream about the Molcajete Mar and wanting to go all the time, but sadly we will only come now when we just want plain old mexican which isn't often. The Margaritas aren't what they used to be either. There is nothing special about them, plus they're smaller. Not sure if they're from a bladder bag....but they aren't how they used to be. Very sad this...
