My favorite Peruvian dish is arroz con mariscos and this place truly hits out of the park! Great price point too, under $30 and the portion is huge and so delicious! Really good amounts of seafood, nice big prawn at the top, and every bite is so flavorful and delicious, even just the rice! Rice! The rice is the perfect amount of saucy + flavor. The yucca fries are also amazing with a perfect dipping sauce that has a little tiny kick. The chips and salsa are also one of the favorites I've ever had, super delicious salsa, slightly spicy, all made with fresh grilled tomatoes! Every single staff member here was so friendly and I had an awesome lunch! I had not been here in a few years which was a bad decision on my part. I had not been here in several years, since they are in their older location, just a block away. This current newer location is great with bar seating and beers on tap! Sitting at the corner of the bar was really fun + I had such a happy lunch. I can't wait for my next visit -- love this local spot!

I recently visited El Toro Loco for some Peruvian food and ordered the Lomo Saltado, Ceviche, Empanadas, and Yuca Fries. Overall, the food was really good flavors were on point and the ingredients were fresh. However, I was a bit disappointed with the portion size of the empanadas; they were smaller than expected.While everything tasted great, I still have to say that Limon SF remains my top spot for Peruvian food. That said, El Toro Loco is definitely a solid option and worth checking out!

**5 Stars: A Delicious Dining Experience at El Toro Loco**My recent visit to El Toro Loco in Pacifica was nothing short of exceptional. Located conveniently with its own parking lot, this charming restaurant provided not only great food but also a relaxing atmosphere, even during a busy 49ers game.Upon entering, I immediately felt welcomed by the cozy ambiance and attentive staff. I opted for the wet burrito, and it did not disappoint--it was generously stuffed with flavorful ingredients and perfectly complemented by the savory sauce. Every bite was a celebration of traditional flavors done right.The lomo saltado, another dish we enjoyed, featured tender beef stir-fried with fresh vegetables and served alongside fluffy rice. The combination of textures and flavors was exquisite, showcasing the culinary mastery of El Toro Loco's kitchen.Throughout the evening, the service was impeccable. Despite the game day buzz, the staff ensured our experience was enjoyable and seamless. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations.El Toro Loco's dedication to providing an authentic Peruvian dining experience was evident in every aspect of our visit, from the delicious food to the welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or visiting Pacifica, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking quality cuisine and a memorable dining experience.I can't wait to return to El Toro Loco to explore more of their menu and enjoy another wonderful meal!

We were actually headed to another restaurant down the street but this one had a parking lot so we decided to pull in. It didn't disappoint! We walked in to the live music setting up and there were open tables to choose from. Service was very good and felt local. I had the Lomo saltado and it was delicious! I actually make this at home too. Feels like a local place with local owners in Pacifica. We'd come back.

What a cool spot. Felt like Cheers- where everyone knew one another. We went on a Friday evening and got to listen to the cute two person band. They played Frank Sinatra songs & cool versions of 80s tunes!Our ceviche was a large portion & really well flavored! The yuca fries tasted fresh & came with a delicious salsa picante sauce. The baked fish had a yummy crunchy coating. The mixed seafood platter (Picante de Mariscos ) was huge & very fresh.Our server was kind & food delivered quickly & hot.It felt welcoming, quaint, & like eating with family.

We came back because my husband lived the choros a la chalaca. We don't know if someone else made them but it wasn't the same and missing juice. Anticuchos were soft and delicious. Papa la huancaina was good and spicy. The empanadas were ok for my liking. Never had corn in my empanadas but the aji was delicious that accompanied it. Don't forget the get your Inca kola to sip it down with. The restaurant gets a lot of people. The owners are very nice and are helping the waitresses with tables.

Amazing, amazing amazing.I had ceviche de pescado and my girlfriend had pescado frito. The lime sauce on ceviche was as good as anything I've ever tasted.The fresh salsa with chips also equal to any salsa I've ever had.Didn't think things could get any better....but our waiter looked like Peruvian Antonio Banderas. He was as kind as he was Banderas-y.
