El Toreo West Palmdale Reviews
Celebrated three birthdays today.Have been going there for 52 years. Always had great service. Best Mexican food forever.
Got a Carne Asada burrito for my husband and he loved it! The restaurant is old school and classic Mexican restaurant clean! Spacious even a patio and complete bar! Looking forward to Sunday Brunch buffet. Friendly and fast service!
Wonderful and tasty Mexican food. Original and authentic environment for dining. Friendly staff. I'll be back.
Absolute historical Restaurant of Palmdale. Displaying its interest of authentic Hispanic food with the greatest management and establishment can become! Superb!
Not from the area just wanted albondigas (meatball soup) not a lot of places had it by my hotel so I came here. Honestly wasn't sure at first service was a little slow but they were just opening up, chips and salsa were good fresh and salty, the glass of water had a funky tap water taste but not enough to ruin the meal which was delicious 👍 got a side of rice with it during the lunch special came out to 13$ and I had left over rice to take back. If I'm ever out here again I'm coming back for another bowl
Ordered out but the service and food we're great! While waiting atmosphere was great also. Service was quick and easy! Definitely a wonderful spot for dinner and drinks.
One of the oldest restaurants in the antelope valley, El Toreo never disappoints. With a menu that gives you classic and authentic Mexican food as well as great drinks and probably the best prices in town. With four locations in the valley you will most likely find one near you. Definitely worth going again.
Looks a little strange and small on the outside. Once you get inside, the smell of the food is amazing. Friend had mole. He said it was one of the best he has ever had. I had a shrimp dish. The quantities are large, so I could only eat 1/3 of it and took the rest home. Very lovely staff
Nice family owned restaurant. Portions are unbelievable generous. Will be returning.
The service was amazing. Very attentive. Nice atmosphere. The food was maybe a two star. Grilled chicken tacos are a processed patty chopped up put into a tortilla. And the rice was old and hard. Uneditable I did eat the chicken by the way. But the people that work there are amazing!
The food wasnt that good I remember a couples of years that I was there and the food was really good, but don't feel like that anymore. They took almost 15 minutes to bring me my food and they were not busy.
The waiter was really nice. The meatball soup was great. While waiting for our food there was a pest that crawled under our table. We were going to change food to go but food already came at that point. Ate our food with our feet off the floor. Beans were over garlicky and rice to dry. I had always wanted to try this place since I was a middle school kid walking home from juniper but it was a bit of a disappointment.
I came to order breakfast at 11 am and they are not open yet. I called and they picked up and did not say a word. I was hung up twice and they still have not opened. It is 11:10 am and I am already disliking the service. So, no breakfast at this place. This restaurant may not be worth spending your money on. They cannot arrive on time and they fail to provide service.
Food took forever to come. Food was not good at all. Super salty. Or no flavor. Waitress was very bad. Constantly needed reminders. Overall do not recommend.
As a kid I grew up eating here, every Sunday for the buffet. While in town I was so excited to see it was still here after 20 years away. Service was amazing, Sergio is the bomb! Food was amazing! But I happened to stop in around eight pm when the “locals” where at the bar at they where fighting and pushing each other around along with swearing at the top of their lungs and talking very nasty racist comments. The bartender didn’t care they were complete smashed and kept feeding them booze. Upon putting on music videos that contained nudity we left….. very disappointed. Not a family establishment
