If I lived in Elkins, I would be eating at El Toro at least once a week! As it is, I ate here twice during my 3 day visit. Those two meals were definitely the best that I've had in a long time!
The Latin American food is authentic, fresh, and delicious! The owner/ chef is originally from Venezuela and takes pride in her cuisine.
My lunch on Thursday was pork cachapas with rice and black beans. Each item had a delicious, unique flavor. On Saturday, I ordered the Brazilian grill, which consisted of steak, sausage and pineapple served on a sizzling grill plate. It also came with one side, which was rice for me. I also added a one trip salad bar. This is definitely not your typical salad bar and had some unique offerings including cream cheese topped with mango sauce and mango slices dipped in hot spices.
The restaurant itself is spacious and clean. Servers were friendly, helpful, and efficient. I also got to meet the owner who was checking in with the customers.

Read moreMy first trip to El Toro and it was wonderful. The salad bar was really good, a nice variety of things. With a purchase of a meal, one trip salad bar is 4.99 and all you can eat is 13.99. My husband and I had the Torrestrella Platter for 2. You get two steaks, sausage and pineapple served on a grill. And 3 sides. We chose the Skillet Green beans with bacon, Yuca and a loaded baked potato. The steak was grilled perfectly and it was so tender. The owner did walk around and check with us on our food which was really nice. The waitress was very friendly and the atmosphere was peaceful. Our bill was $48.72. We had the platter for two with 3 sides, two one trip salad bars, a water and a sweet tea. Very reasonable price for all the food we got. Will...
