El Toro

Being back in my hometown, but having spent much of the last 25 years living in the southwest and Mexico, I was craving some Mexican food. In my 10 days in town, I tried a few (but probably not all) of the Mexican restaurants, and this place was by far the best. Don't get me wrong, nothing comes close to real mexican bought from a street cart in Mexico, but for Nebraska, this place was top notch. Hastings is lucky to have it and I look forward to my next visit.

El Toro Mexican Restaurant provided an okay dining experience during our recent visit. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a typical Mexican restaurant decor, and the seating was comfortable. The standout aspect of our visit was the server, who was genuinely friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Their positive attitude added a nice touch to an otherwise average experience. The food was good but not excellent. We did however enjoy their hot sauce. Tip ask them to mix the verde with their spicy sauce very delicious.

Service was slow, she charged us for rice and beans when our plate came with it already. The fajitas were not good. Our waitress was hard to find when we needed anything. The queso was the only thing I liked

Great Mexican food! salmon tacos with the habanero salsa was great! table chips and salsa could use a little spice but there was plenty for everyone.

I came here because it was walking distance from my hotel. The service was prompt and my margarita was delivered quickly while I looked at the menu. The salsa was nice as it was chunkier than I normally get at restaurants. The chip were warm and I enjoyed them. The entree was out quickly as well but I don't remember what it was called. A bowl of rice covered in fajita toppings with 3 tortillas. A few too many bell peppers for my taste but they did enhance the flavor. Since I was traveling, I probably won't be back, but it was a good option for my this time

Visited Friday evening at 5:30pm. Only about 6 people in the restaurant. Ordered "Tacos Supremos" but what I got was not what I ordered. It states on the menu "Served with lettuce, pico de gallo, corn, sour cream and shredded cheese." But clearly there was not pico de gallo, corn, or sour cream included. These tacos were bland and so dry. Took 10 minutes to flag down our waiter and ask about the missing ingredients. He acted like he didn't understand what was missing. I gave up and just asked for sour cream to try and lessen the dryness. I paid $14 for three crap tacos! I don't recommend this restaurant. Go to El Puerto if you want good Mexican food.

This was the 2nd worst Mexican food I have had. I only gave an extra star for the coconut margarita, which was the best part of the meal. Service was mediocre and slow, the ground beef was overly salty, the cheese enchilada sauce was not great and the Chile rellano was very soggy. The food was not very hot when it came out. Had a strawberry margarita that did. It taste or look like a strawberry margarita. Also gave the extra star only because it was right next to our motel and we didn't want to drive after a long day of traveling.

Excellent Mexican food in Hastings and friendly staff too. Nice location and clean. Definitely recommend!

This place is terrific. The service was phenomenal, the food fabulous, and the margarita festive.

Nice place, wrong food, tasteless, I haven't tasted Mexican food so Bland, Nothing, couldn't finish the meal, my wife ordered the taco salad, the shell was like a permanent plate fixture.Oh yes, something scary, no Mexicans eating....oh did I say the refried bend looked water down.....! Really, Yes...how is that possible....Today we should Not post negative reviews, However, there is Always an Exception....Clean it up get a real Mexican cook, Until then....
