Reviews for El Toro Loco in Metropolis, IL
Scallops, crab, shrimp, onions, peppers, and pineapple served in a pineapple?! Yes, please!! This restaurant is just phenomenal.... This dish is enough to feed 3, and cost under $17. ???? It includes the giant side of rice, and guacamole salad seen, too! Read more
My guy took me here for dinner and the experience was one of a kind. I've been to many Mexican restaurants around the nation and... trust me when I say this was by far the BEST of them all. I felt super special having my Mexican dish served to me in aPineapple (sizzling). The owner is amazing and down to earth. I highly recommend this restaurant and will most definitely beback soon ???????? Read more
Metropolis only has a handful of decent restaurants and El Toro Loco is definitely one of them. Hands down has the best Chorizo... I've ever had. (I also know the little secret ingredient). But you'll have to ask what it was and why it tastes so dang good!Street Tacos are incredible, the Metropolis Burrito you better be hungry, and the chips snd salsa are also my favorite as well.Ask for the other salsas!

My husband and I go here weekly, and it?s usually fantastic. A few visits ago, we noticed that they removed the bottles of green... hot sauce that was on every table. We asked for the bottle and we got the runaround. The waitress pretended not to know what wewere talking about, but said she?d go look, and brought us back one. Then todays visit?we order the same thing every week, hegets steak street tacos and I get just ground beef tacos. So we sit down and ask for the bottle of hot sauce and the waitresssays she?ll bring out what they have. What they had was a bottle of a hot sauce I?ve never seen nor heard of and tasted likeketchup. So we asked if they had any actual hot sauce, and she said she can bring out a cup of it for us. It was a small dish ofsome sort of creamy green sauce. When we get our tacos, both were filled halfway to what they normally are (the steak didn?teven go end to end on the tacos)and the steak marinade was weak and tasteless barely even there (some pieces of steak had none)when it?s normally very flavorful and delicious. My tacos tasted like what you?d get at school lunch. Toppings were randomlytossed on with no consistency, and the steak was the texture of mush. We get the bill, and noticed we got charged 1.25 for thetiny cup of sauce. Just ridiculous. Also, when you order takeout, they charge your for the containers. I understand inflation,but this is unnecessary. I really feel like they took the green bottles away just so they could charge for their own. For ourone night out a week, this was extremely disappointing Read more
Yes please, take my money! This place is deceivingly delicious. Their drink menu is short and the food menu is long but both are... amazing. I was very surprised at the whole experience. More people should eat here. Read more
Had a quick stop in town and stopped for a nice dinner, we got there early at 5pm and were the only people in the place.... Normally that is a bad sign, well just 5:30 the place was packed and we were enjoying an amazing dinner. I like hot food, mostplaces lighten the burn to accommodate people but I asked for HOT and they provided. Over all 5* for service and food andenvironment! Read more
Excellante!!! Finally - a great authentic Mexican Restaurant in the area! Beautifully decorated with original art, murals &... colorful traditional paper banners (Papel Picado). It has an extensive menu, with every type of Mexican dish. Everything is sodelicious! Even my dad (who doesn't like Mexican food) LOVES this place - he gets the Hawaiian Chicken. I love the carnitasplate. Jesus (pronounced hey-sues) is the owner and works hard taking orders, serving and doing whatever needs to be done! Ican't wait to come back! Read more
