El Toreo Far West

It’s been a while but we decided to try them again today. We started with the chips and salsa, and our very nice waiter brought two identical-​looking red salsas which only differed in terms of the spiciness. The one he pointed to as being spicy really wasn’t that hot based on my experience. We also decided to order a side of the guacamole sauce and Mr. Picky decided he liked that a lot (as well as enjoying the salsas they originally brought).
Service was good and they swapped out the chips basket when it got low. The chips were warm, which I always appreciate, and a little salt made them delicious.
We both ordered #33 which is the shrimp enchiladas plate. Frankly, I will admit to not expecting much, but I was overwhelmingly surprised to find that this was a really delicious dish that they put down in front of us. There was a lot of sauce and melted cheese on it, so it had a very Gilly fact, there was enough chips into it. But bottom line of course is the flavor, and I have to say that was really excellent and I liked the green bell pepper, onion and other vegetables in the dish. Mr. Picky even said that he was nicely surprised – and he is not always easy to please! It was a lot of food so there will be leftovers.
As to desert, I tried the fried ice cream, and Mr. Picky went for the Mexican Flan. Not bad.
I’ve bumped up my rating because the food really was better this time.

Very nice Mexican restaurant, a little small so when they get a rush it’s a little congested, small price to pay for a good cocktail, chips and salsa from the bar and my favorite Chile Colorado wet burrito

Wow! This was great. Went on a Saturday for lunch and it was a very quite and pleasant atmosphere. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were ginormous! My 13 year old ordered the burrito meal and when they brought her plate her eyes got huge! This burrito was the size of a nerf football. She ate less than half and was full. And the shredded chicken inside was to die for. I had the steak soft tacos. The description said two tacos, but they provided 4 tortillas and enough steak to fill all four. And it came with a huge portion of guacamole. My wife had the floutas and other daughter has enchiladas. Both said they were great. We will definitely be coming back.

I’ve been here on so many occasions: With family, coworkers, friends, even alone for a beer or enchiladas. The service is nice, and the chips and salsa rocks my socks off! El Toreo’s meals are in grand portions, with great flavor, in my opinion.
This is a restaurant that has made a regular out of me!

I had been to El Toreo’s several times before this visit, and was always satisfied. We came as a party of 8 on a weeknight, which was unusually busy. Once we sat down the waiter,
named Israel, looked at me, and rudely told me to «listen» while he recited all of the items on the menu that they were out of, because, as he pointed out, «there have been many people here tonight.» Once we finally got our meals, not one person in our group was happy with their dinner. It was dried out, soggy, flavorless. Not only were our meals subpar, the customer service was appalling.
We will not be returning.

Never had an unpleasant experience at El Toreo! Rafael is THE most friendly, and best waiter! He will never let you down, or make you wait for a drink, refill, or let you feel unattended to! A margarita here is a commitment to an evening of considering another! A bit of advice, skip Wednesday’s if your into a quick turnaround, as they host the weekly «buffet!»
Haters can head over to El Torito’s for the industrial grade dining next to the mall!!!

Call ahead 15 minutes prior to you getting there and you can have a to go order ready for to get on the way home. Great service if you dine in as well.

I’ve been going here for years. my niece who moved out a year ago… well I’ve been bringing her here for all that time. tonight we were having drinks and up through her straw comes a clipped fingernail. we won’t be attending again. it makes me sad as we pretty much know everyone by name and they know us.

The food is great. The portions are huge. If there’s something you want that’s not on the menu they will make it for you. They have quick service and the drinks are nice and strong. Need I say more.

Great food! Service was great. Wife and i went on lunch break. Burrito Supreme was great!

My son and I been coming here for three years now never had a poor experience we are always greeted with a smile, the restaurant seems to be well managed and clean you never really need to wait for a table, they have a lot of booths and tables so there’s not really a waiting time to be seated
I always order the chicken flatuas rice and beans (best in the antelope valley) my son always orders the shredded beef taco and a cheese enchiladas rice and beans on Wednesdays and Sunday’s they have a buffet that is pretty good as well with complimentary champagne for only $ 9.99 I would say the only thing they need improving on is The bathrooms.
Other then that great place to eat they even have booths outside where you could take your dog with you which I think is great.

I went last eve, 7÷13÷2015, great service, great prices and great comfort food for me. I grew up in Sylmar/​San Fernando, this reminds me of the restaurants I grew up with.

Fantastic Large portions! Tasty food that is fresh! Large Chicken Salad, Meatball Soup, Combination Plate, enough to feed 4 for under $ 30.00. Son and I took home leftovers for his brother and mom of which were two full meals.
Service was attentive, and friendly Friday evening at 6PM. Restaurant was busy, and yes chips and salsa was perfect! Deserving a five star in all departments!

We have now become regulars of this place. So much so that we get seated at our favorite table and they know what we’re going to order. My hubby loves the shredded beef tacos and I love their cheese enchiladas. We both get a melon margarita. Today though I asked if by any chance they could make us a coconut margarita. Sure enough he said that he would try. It was delicious! It tasted like a piña colada margarita. Everyone is super friendly. We love it!

I decided to give this place another try. I took my daughter here since she likes rice and beans a lot. I ordered the one taco with beans and rice and it also came with a salad or soup. I got the salad it was fresh and tasted good. The taco was great and she seem to like the rice, beans, and cheese. I asked for water and surprising that the water tasted like drinking water not facet water. Prices are too high but I had to treat myself. Food was ok but I’ve had better. It was very crowded. It also smelled like cheap mens cologne. Yuck.

The food is great and I love their margaritas! They have really decent prices too. Staff is always so nice. My family and I enjoy going there often.

Not even worth my time to write a review but here we go, I ordered tostada salad with grilled chicken and the chicken was cold, they used some cheap green sauce and passed it off as guacamole, we ordered the real guacamole and paid extra for that yet the menu states that tostada salad is served with guacamole. The chicken was chopped really small and the pieces were very few, I finished the chicken in 4 bites then I was left with a mound of beans and green slop in a stale tortilla shell. Totally not worth the money. Save yourself find a food truck, you may eat better tasting and fresh food there.

We use to come here quite often not so much for the food but for drinks. Not to long ago I could get a double for $ 10.25 and was horrified on our last visit cost was $ 14.50. Seeing the food is just okay we will be seeking a new place with more reasonable drink prices.

El toreo far west is very clean and they are very friendly here. I highly recommend this place to anyone. They have the best wet burritos in town.

Great food! Coming here for 16 years great food great service. I get the #14 3 item great stuff.
