A coworker told me she doesn't like dining at local Mexican or Central American restaurants because she'd rather cook her family's recipes, but said if I wanted a good local meal then I should start at El Torito Grill.She said they aren't fancy - just really really good.I did and I agree.The tacos are solid.I also really liked the Enchiladas plate - three enchiladas (I chose green sauce) with beans and rice. The entrees are a little larger than they look, so don't feel bad if you ask for a container to go.Seating is first come first serve if you're dining in.A drive thru and to-go pickup options are available as well, but I haven't used them

This place was a total surprise. Great value and my chicken was excellent! Not as much meat as some other places, but for under $9 I'm sold and going back

I was impressed with the delicious, authentic food and the nice toppings bar during my opening week dine-in lunch, but the service seemed rather disorganized.My enchiladas plate ($9.99) was served 12 minutes after I ordered at the table. It included three enchiladas with choice of meat, choice of sauce (red or green), choice of rice (white or brown) and choice of beans (charro or refried). The portions were generous and everything was delicious, with a nice, medium heat level coming from the red sauce. I did not notice complimentary chips and salsa.A toppings bar was available with 12 options including sliced onions, peppers, four sauces, two versions of pico de gallo, limes and guacamole (nice). Bottled hot sauces were also available to spice things up.I noticed a clean and spacious dining area with a large patio area. The menu included desserts, a variety of bottled beers, margaritas and cocktails.Unfortunately, the service (while cheerful and somewhat fast) was rather haphazard and the payment process was unclear and slow.Overall, very nice.

al pastor tacos were good! not the best in the kc metro but still are top notch. service was fast and attentive and did not wait long to order my food. it was not very busy inside but still had lots of people coming by to order to-go rather than sit and dine. their agua de jimaca was amazing!! not a bad place for a quick Mexican meal with authentic food and where it is not that busy inside.

I have had birria tacos from multiple places in Kansas City Ks and Kcmo and this place was by far the best, which is saying a lot on a large to go order. We ordered five beef birria tacos to go ( after a wine tasting event weirdly) and they still tasted incredible by the time we got them. The consome was not too heavy on the cinnamon and not to salty, condiments fresh and nicely packaged, and the cheese pull was perfect. Definitely will be back!

After completing the KCK Taco Trail last fall, I took a bit of a breather and took a few months off of eating the tortilla filled masterpieces. I decided today that my self-imposed Mexican moratorium was over and it was time to cross the state line and get back in the game.El Torito Grill is a newer player on the scene and has taken over an old Hardees building on Central Ave. - one of the three main taqueria thoroughfares in KCK. I ordered the Lamb Quesaberria. Four juicy, cheesy, griddled to perfection tortilla's with a large bowl of consommé for ample dipping and onions and cilantro on the side. Absolute perfection on all counts. My lack of giving a 5 star rating is for the poor customer service that I received from everyone. I was asked when I walked in by the man behind the counter if it was for dine-in or carryout. I told him dine -in and he asked for my order. He then told me to take a seat and they would bring it out. As soon as I sat down, a waitress brings me a menu!? I told her that I had already ordered and was then promptly ignored for the rest of my visit; having to go find silverware that wasn't brought with my food and then having to go plead for a water cup that I had asked for previously. An epic failure with lack of communication from the front end manager that put a bad mark on my experience and the waitress unable to work for a 20%+ tip on a $14 meal.Will I go back? Probably. The place is clean, a large condiment/salsa table and great food, I just need to let the low-key seething and head shaking dissipate for a few months first. At least now i know the routine.
