I attended a retirement party here. They have a large room and the back where we sat comfortably. The staff was amazing. We about 30 or more people there and service was impeccable. We were also able to split the checks as needed which is rare nowadays. Food was good as well

We visited El Torazo Mexican with a birthday group of kiddos on a Sunday night. I had called earlier in the day to make sure they were open but never reached a live person, so we just showed up. Fortunately, they were able to seat our table of 7 immediately. The restaurant is located in a shopping center right off the expressway, easy convenient parking out front. When we arrived we were immediately greeted at the door and shown to a table in the middle of the restaurant. It's typical Mexican fare, similar to most of the larger chains here. We started with queso and they brought two baskets of chips. The white queso was good, and the chips were refilled frequently. The kiddos ordered from the kids menu and had the pizza, tacos, enchiladas and cheese quesadilla. Kids menus is under $6, which is great for a big group. Kids were all happy with food, except for the pizza which was missing the sauce. My husband and I ordered the combination plates. I chose the beef hard taco and cheese chili's relleno and my husband ordered the tamale, relleno and tostado. We were thrilled with the relleno and it didn't compare to El Nopal, which is covered in cheese. It was okay, but a bit soggy. For dessert we ordered the churros which were a huge hit with the kids. Overall it was a quick and easy Mexican meal, but probably won't be back. Will stick to our tried and true favorite, El Nopal.

My family of 4 wanted Mexican. I've never eaten here but they convinced me because of very good reviews. Short Answer: one of Best authentic food in Louisville and excellent service and staff. Long Answer: was my youngest 10th Birthday. It's besides "Brick & Figs" Lego store off Hurstborne Lane. We just missed their Saturday"Lunch Hour" menu but the regular menu prices seemed reasonable. basked on warmed chips brought with two salsa bowls(complimentary). Wasn't spicy but good. We ordered the white cheese dip(queso which tasted a bit bland but still good?) one some vegetarian plate, other son soft tacos, wife Chile Plablano stuffed with cheese and i combination enchilada and Tamal. Everyone loved their meals and I also tasted their food. Much better sides with flavor than typical rice and black beans or refried beans. The manager/owner realizing my 10 year old birthday even brought out a small ice cream with candle and staff and him sang and played instruments. I also ordered the "Fried Ice cream" which everyone loved. Bottom line I love this restaurant and Staff is 5*!!!!!!!! That's a lot coming from me. even day after I'm still SO impressed with food and service. Definitely coming back soon for Lunch. For 4 off dinner menu and dessert was $55. Well worth the price.

There's lots of restaurants in this shopping strip and we settled on El Torazo. They have a patio, which was fairly busy during the nice weather, but it also invited people to light up their cigarettes so I'm happy we bypassed it to sit inside.Service was immediate and their chips and salsa were a highlight for me. We also enjoyed our order of queso. I always appreciate a friendly team and warm chips - my guys eat them faster than me!I opted for the chicken quesadilla. It was average, although a bit dry so it could benefit from dipping it into sour cream, salsa or queso. Plenty of menu options and tables for groups. We'll be back!

I have stopped in here many of times for a quick work lunch. I have always been impressed with the service. The staff are really good about getting you in and out and are friendly. The food is average Mexican affair but always good and never had an issue. I will return.

El Torazo is pretty basic. There's nothing outstanding going on, but they do run the place very competently! When I visited for lunch, I found it clean with attentive service and a good quesadilla.

My FAVORITE restaurant in the city. Great vegan food! Yummy margaritas and delicious food and sides. I've been coming here since 2003 and often celebrate achievements and anniversaries here. My whole family loves this place and the staff are sincerely friendly. Great place to be! The inside has a nice ambiance and there's outdoor seating as well.

Ordered food for delivery and they messed it up. They said they would issue full refund or comp my next meal the following day. I returned today and they wanted to argue instead of doing what they said. Leo seemed like a pretty good guy and tried to take care of the problem but the other manager was crap.

If you enjoy being a woman who is called a "bitch" and "a whore" in Spanish, this is the place for you. I had to wait over 30 minutes for chips and salsa because my boyfriend was not there yet. I did nothing but ask for appetizers. I have been a loyal customer for years, but no more. Word of mouth travels quickly, and I really should have called the police last night given I am sure most employees are being paid under the table. I have always tipped well, and I did nothing wrong last night. The fact that a customer and an employee called me deplorable names is beyond me. Don't go here if you have any respect for women.
