Great Tex/Mex food, good service, overall great place to eat! Had an excellent borrito dinner, and my wife had some great chimichagas(sp?) at the El Toro Brovo. It's a bit on the smaller side, so calling ahead may be a good idea in peak times, but worth the wait if need be, and the value is second to none in... more

Being from West Texas, Amarillo, and countless trips to Santa Fe, Taos, etc. this resturant is nirvana! Mexican food in the US is regional and all quite different. This "southwest" New Mexican with a bit of Texas is my absolute favorite. The New Mexican food starts with chilis. Ruben uses the best from Hatch, NM, the chili capital of the... more

We heard about this little gem of a restaurant from a bartender at another restaurant. Our first experience couldn't have been better. It's small, but we were there on a weeknight and had no trouble being seated. The salsa and chips were delicious. We ordered a chicken burrito to split and were glad, because it is BIG!

Great food at a fair price. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly and concerned with our satisfaction. The Chili Rellano were the best I've had and everyone enjoyed their entrees. more

I had the crusted Tilapia--which I would recommend...It comes with black beans and rice...which were very good. Better than the refried beans that we get served back here in Illinois! The rice is superb...done nicely. My husband had the chicken enchilada and said... more

Read in tripadvisor so decided to try it today. Everything about the experience was wonderful. Great chips and salsa. The waitress made suggestions and she was right in everything we ate. The owner/chef came to the table and when he found out it was our first time he brought us a wonderful finger food chocolate dessert. It melted in our... more

Our family of four ate in El Toro Bravo based on its #1 ranking on Tripadvisor. It did not disappoint. While the atmosphere was simple storefront, the food was excellent and a great value. Definite recommendation in the Sarasota area. more

We visit this restaurant a couple of times a month, sometimes more. The food is always fresh and well prepared. Ruben (the owner) makes the experience even better. He genuinely wants his guests to enjoy every minute they spend in his restaurant and visits every table to make sure that everything is to the guest's satisfaction. There is a good... more

I like to try out all of the top resturants and when I went to El Toro I was not dissapointed. The food was outstanding and the owner and waitstaff were courteous and helpful. I will be going here again as a result of my experience and encourage everyone to try this place out. more
