He was polite enough and he got us the food we ordered but I didn't feel warmly welcomed. He was neutral to whether we were happy or not. Did not check on us.
August 7, 2017
Friendly people. Good food and good prices
August 3, 2017
The food was tasty though portions were not that big considering the price. The girl bringing the chips and salsa was very nice but our waiter was abrupt and not at all friendly.
August 2, 2017
Food and portions fantastic!
July 28, 2017
The food was very good including the dessert. There are no televisions in this restaurant which we all liked and they play a nice selection of music instead. It was nicely decorated and very clean inside. As Arnold once said, "I'll be back".
July 11, 2017
Comfortable staff service - always friendly and efficient. Any menu item we have had so far has been so delicious and well-crafted. The restaurant is right in our town, and the parking is very do-able.
June 28, 2017
Restaurant was fill to capacity and we had to wait 10 min for table to open up. 2 waiters and the owner were busy with a full house ,that service was slow. Our waiter had to be reminded on several occasions for water refill and hot sauce. The food was tasty but the beef in my lomo saltado was overlooked . The rest of my family enjoyed their taco dinner.

July 24, 2015
The staff was very friendly and explained the dishes in detail. Service was excellent as was the food. We were invited back for a celebration next week with complimentary cocktail. Looking forward to a return visit. Very casual atmosphere.

good size portions and good tasting food
April 29, 2015
Server helped us order. Very good Peruvian. Table was a little wobbly. Now that I think of it, should tape the piece of plastic under the leg that was short so that the table wouldn't wobble if accidentally bumped.
April 23, 2015
Excellent steaks & steak sandwiches.
March 21, 2015

February 1, 2015
I did not know thie place is almost first food look.With this kond of atmosphere, some dishes are over chagred, wjat we thought.We drove from San Jose to be there. But, near my house there is better place and better food.

December 31, 2014
A small and very nice informal place to dine. Great selection of items to choose and try. We had the Paella, chicken salad, half carafe of sangria and shared it all.Great night out. I believe they still have live music on the weekends. My wife and I enjoy the very friendly atmosphere.
December 31, 2014
Great flavors and friendly service.Couldn't ask for anything more.Will definitely be back again and again.

October 27, 2014
service and food was better then great
October 5, 2014
The Paella and Fajita combo are servings for two and provided the four of us with an excellent sampling of their Specials listed on the board. We watched the SF Giants in the 2nd game of the NLDS for part of the time. Great Food!! Our friends and I will go again to experience some other recommended dished by the Matriarch of the establishment.
October 2, 2014
I love the food at this restaurant but the service could be a little better. We were waiting for 20 minutes after our table was cleared for the check.
September 30, 2014
We enjoyed several new dishes. Both we very good. The next time, we will order the "House Specials". We did not notice them prior to order. Unfortunately all are in Spanish and no prices are listed. Some dishes we are familiar with and will order the Pallea ($24) for two the next time.
September 25, 2014
Fast service and very attentive servers. Very good food. We will definitely come back.

So glad we'd finally gave El Toro Loco a try, was delicious! Great service, loved the beef kabob, seafood dish was yummy, and fried fish was great,& dessert (flan)was incredible, got to go back for other dishes!!
June 13, 2013
WOW WOW WOW! Super delicious! The seafood soup was amazing. My husband loved his mixed Peruvian platter and my son said the steak was really good. The service was good too. I suppose the what sticks in my mind was the quality of the food (very high & fresh). My husband commented that he enjoyed his meal more than he had in the resent "fancy" restaurants he'd been to.
April 8, 2013
the food was delicious. a little cold after a few minutes, but very good.
January 8, 2013
Good, however they did lock the door so we couldn't intitially get in. (a small mistake)
December 11, 2012
My wife has had Peruvian food in Peru and both her and I enjoyed it very much.
December 7, 2012
Nice food, very friendly people, and good musicians playing.
October 23, 2012
Original peruvian taste. We loved it.
May 15, 2012
Awesome food and atmomphere
March 8, 2012
Awesome food, not the greatest ambience - it's a hole in the wall and it's cold - no heater but the food is always fresh and makes up for it!
March 5, 2012
Honestly, we would not have gone to this restaurant if it hadn't been for the great reviews and the coupon. It doesn't look inviting from the outside, but it's excellent and we'll definitely go again.
January 30, 2012
El Toro Loco is a great neighborhood restaurant - the owner, Jose really cares about his customers and always comes out to say hello. His food is consistently good with lots of variety. The place is family friendly and there is live music a few nights a week - very enjoyable experience!
December 5, 2011
Their food was excellent and the service was fast.
November 1, 2011
Ingredients tasted fresh, good selection, especially for seafood dishes.
October 22, 2011
Good food.
September 24, 2011
I am glad to see that the place was crowded and that business has picked up. The owner is a good person who cares about providing good food. His brother plays music providing entertainment. I recommend El Toro Loco for good Mexican and Peruvian food.
September 17, 2011
Normally I like a lively crowd, but it was so noisy I could barely speak to my wife over the din. There was a keyboard player in direct competition with a large birthday party of about 12 adults, and it was very hard to hear each other. Everyone had to speak in well above normal tones!
September 15, 2011
We would visit El Toro even if we did not have the redemption coupon. It's local, food is excellent and staff friendly and very acomodating!!!!
September 10, 2011
Always enjoy the live music and tasty dishes. Suggestion is that the server(s) be a bit more aggressive with their specials; perhaps they could speak of them during the order-taking. There is a "Specials" board in an obscure location, difficult to read. Other than that, always a nice dining experience.
September 3, 2011
It took about 40 minutes to get our food.
August 26, 2011
Great tasty food and good service.

Breading on seafood was a bit salty,
