El Toro Restaurant

Food was cheap and plentiful as I expect with my tex-mex in Ohio. Server was so friendly, but did mess up my mom's order. I would really call this a 2.5 star place, but not worthy of 3.

Huge space, huge menu, daily specials. They even serve caguamas (aka family size beers aka 32oz beers). Not authentic, but still pretty good. I got an enchilada and burrito, the sauce was kind of sweet? Not like mole sweet, but like marinara sweet? A little strange, but still ok.
Beans were delicious... the magic of lard!!

Free chips and salsa. Mostly just a really friendly server

We found El Toro by accident and decided to chance it. How bad could it be? We were pleasantly surprised it was quite good.

The chips and salsa were delivered promptly to the table. Our drinks arrived in like two minutes.

The menu looked traditional mexican fare, so I went for the fajitas. They were quite delicious. They came out sizzling the veggie were done al dente and the chicken was yummy. The rice was flavorful and fluffy the beans were slow-roasted and delicious. I only wish you got more than two tortillas and if they were homemade that was would that much better.

My friend ordered the chilaquiles which were good but covered in too much cheese it detracted from the flavor of the sauce. But if you like cheese you're in luck.

If ever in the area I would be back!

We thought we'd struck road-trip gold when we pulled off the interstate to fill up and discovered a restaurant with a full parking lot (always a good sign) right off the exit. Turns out it was more like striking coal.

The food was mediocre, but at least we didn't have to wait too long for it. The real bummer came after we ate. Our server never returned... in fact, he never made eye contact with me again (and believe me, I tried). After 15 minutes of waiting for to-go boxes and the check, I gave up and left my table to talk to him. He handed me the check in the middle of the restaurant with no "sorry" or "thank you"... just "pay at the front".  Oh, and they cleared our leftovers in the 30 seconds I was away from the table. So we didn't need to-go boxes after all... which was probably for the best as the food wasn't very good.

I don't know what other options there are for Mexican food in this area, but I would not eat here again unless I was desperate.
