I’ve been here a couple of times and really enjoy the vibe even during the day. The ambiance of the place is very Mexican, love it. Their nachos are really goood. Yesterday I had the Pancho Wings and they were so good, flame grilled and smothered in a salsa sauce . Had it with a mojito...great spot 👌🏽
If you’re a Mexican Foodie like I am then El Toro is the place to be. This restaurant is situated in 5 – 7 Mackeurtan Avenue. Durban North, Durban, South Africa. El Toro
A great Sunday lunch with friends, the food was awesome and service really good. The only downfall was that they had no draughts available or some food ingredients that were advertised on the menu. It can be pricey but the food is really good, I recommend it.
Seafood Paella is a must try! Best I've ever tasted! The tacos are extremely filling. The shredded braised lamb is slow-cooked and tender. There is either a choice of hard shell or soft shell tortillas. I'd recommend the hard shell as it adds a nice crunch to the meal. Overall, one of the best Mexican restaurants to visit with reasonable prices for quality food.
Great atmosphere,the service was top notch and the bartender was such a cool guy.very clean and we'll maintained.I've actually been at El'Toro on a few occasions,each better than the other..I recommend
The cutest Mexican place I’ve ever seen. I love how it’s not too big, super casual vibe and the decor well the overall feel of the place is super cute. I’d really recommend it for a mid-week girls night out. They have really good food and drink specials during the week so look out for those! The service is also very good and accomodating. I had the nachos which I loved and tried one of their signature cocktails ( it was ginormous)

Well firstly, the decor here is amazing, almost identical to Four 15 (which happens to be a couple of restaurants away from El Toro).
We went here with a group of friends. One of my friends and I ordered the Empanadas with chorizo, spinach, paneer and mozzarella for starters. These had potential to be amazing but they were waaay too rich so they needed some chili to cut through the richness from both the cheeses. Ohh, maybe a spicier chorizo?
Then we ordered the Costillios Paella, with lamb short rib and crumbled paneer. This was delicious omg. All it needed was a bit more salt but definitely a satisfying and moreish dish.
I tried the lamb and paneer nachos that the others ordered, again, tasty but needed more salt- and some fresh chili. Or maybe the lamb should have been spicier- Mexican food is spicy, guys.
Evidently I like trying everyone else’s food but I couldn’t even try my friend’s pork tacos because the portion was so small- two Empanadas as a starter was more filling than the tacos as a main.
I’d recommend El Toro, especially since they have some decent deals on the Entertainer app, but don’t forget to order a side of fresh chili.
Oh and, just for the record- El Toro > Four15.
This place really has a great vibe! If you're looking for some great mexican food and a couple delicious cocktails, then this is the place for you! Be sure to book though as it is usually quite busy!
Both lamb and fish burritos were seriously delicious! The atmosphere was good but the music was a bit too loud. The helado (ice-cream) was good. We also had churros. Two years ago, these were mindblowingly delicious. This time, there were too many churros per portion and they were too plain.
P.S. Our waitress (Amber) wasn't hospitable to us at all and shortchanged me by R9. Note that upon confronting her, she apologized and returned R10.
The food was great and the atmosphere was welcoming and delightful, very interesting decor and amazing cocktails, I enjoyed myself and I will be visiting soon
Fun, thematically decorated Tequilaria with a generous selection of Mexican faves on the menu. Nachos portion is huge so makes a great sharing dish to complement individual taco orders. Busy, so best to make a reservation on weekends.
Food was very nice. Nice spices. Friendly staff. Moderately priced. When we were there, the barman did not pitch for work so the manager and staff was busy making cocktails, which were unfortunately a bit below standard. Overall good experience.
Oh my hat! The rump nachos are my new favourite thing ever. Treated to lunch here by my sister in law who was raving about the nachos and we were not let down. The tacos were also good but the nachos really are the show. The venue is vibrant with a chilled vibe, parking out front is a but restricted but plenty along the stripe. Gin cocktails seem all the rage right now and elderflower bitters cocktail was delicious. Anyone that wants Mexican/Latino food in Durban North should have this place one their radar.
Great service and amazing food. Our waiter was great with suggesting dishes to try. Always enjoy going here.
Excellent! The tequila is guaranteed to make you face disappeare! ♡ I wanted to cry at the end of my meal - the food was só good. Best Mexican I've had. Must visit.
What a great little restaurant with authentic Mexican food. Go for the food, stay for the delicious generous cocktails.
My first time visiting this place. Had supper here on a Wednesday and was very busy. Food was great and options are plentiful for both vegetarians and non veg eaters. Pork, chicken and lamb are served here. Meals and drinks are great. Mojito was strong but not very good tasting. Reservations are needed here.
Wow this was an amazing Mexican taste experience. Flavours are out of this world. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu
Exceptional food for a reasonable price and super friendly staff!
