Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Fantastic enchiladas Jalisco with green sauce. Smaller portions but worth the price. $4 margaritas. Chips and salsa right away and fantastic. Took server a bit to check back and bring refills but very nice and it was pretty busy.

First time here. Saturday about 1 pm Not sure if this is under the same ownership as the El Toro in G.I. and Lincoln? Ummm...meat was terrible! Tasted old and dry. I went w/others who said it's normally pretty good so I hate to give a bad review. Maybe just an off day? Service was ok.

Nice atmosphere and clean. Service was fast but server could barely speak English and got the order wrong. The premium margarita was plentiful but didn't have much tequila. The food was Americanized, colorful and well presented but lacked any flavor. The prices were ok but not justified by the flavor or service.

I eat at this place alot. Never had bad service or bad food. I have factory reps that travel all over the U.S. and can't wait to get to Hastings to come here. I personally love the fajita chimichanga. This is also the only place around that has Dos Equies amber beer on tap. Love this place.

I had a bad experience at this restaurant. On top of the fish section in the menu it said the dinners came with a salad, guacamole, beans, and pico de Gilo, but when the meal came it had none of that. When I asked about it the waitress said that I remembered wrong. But when paying I checked the menu and it was as I remembered it. The waitress just said the waiter said it did not come with it, even though it was clearly written there.

Ate here a few times when they first opened a year or so ago. Was not impressed then, mostly with service. Most recent visit was great, for food, drink, and service. Chips could have been a bit fresher, but overall ok. Of the multiple Mexican restaurants in Hastings, I would likely return to this one the next time the mood strikes. Caught the tail-end of margarita happy hour, and was glad I did.

This place is horrible and they run a dirty business. They talked trash about our group all night, then FILLED IN A FORTY DOLLAR TIP for my co-worker, and signed his name. When we disputed the tip the next day, they were rude and refused to fix it. Only after one of us told the patrons in the restaurant what they had done, did they say they would fix it. We're reporting them to the BBB. Do NOT eat here.

I'm from Kansas City, MO, so I know good Mexican food. Kansas City has the best Mexican food in the Midwest, so I have high expectations. I'm in Hastings, NE for a couple months on business. My first night in town I ate at El Toro at about 7pm on a Friday. The place was packed, but I was by myself so i sat quickly at the bar. I had the Carnitas plate. The serving size was good, price was right and it was tasty. I'd give the Carnitas plate a 4/5 stars. The service that night was good, a little slow on getting me new beers, but it wasn't horrible. Since I had eaten there I heard from a State Trooper acquaintance, that works in Liquor Control, that the kitchen is far from clean. I didn't let that phase me I had a pretty good experience before so why not try again. I just got done eating at El Toro. I ate at 3pm so between rushes on a Sunday. When i came in, the place was empty except for a small group of Hispanic people whom the waitresses were collected around. It is only an assumption that they all knew one another. The waitress sat me down in the farthest booth from the door, way in the back. I'm not a novice foodie so I know I can ask to be seated in other places, but I went with it. I was the only other customer in the place and she sat me an entire restaurant from the other customers table. I ordered the Burrito Jalisco, and a soft ground beef taco and cheese dip. The Burrito Jalisco, was on the small side, but tasted good. It had guac and cheese dip on top and it wasn't bad. The ground beef in the taco had a little bit of a gamey flavor. It wasn't inedible but the taste was off. In retrospect I believe the meat may have turned, and was cooked any ways. that doesn't scare me necessarily, because I know that if its cooked properly there is no reason to be concerned. The cheese dip was good, not much to it, no spices or peppers, just white cheese. The salsa at El Toro is great, very tasty and fresh, some of the best I've had, I couldn't get enough. If the service had been great the food wouldn't have mattered to me. Unfortunately after receiving my food I didn't see my waitress again for probably 20 minutes. No refill of my empty soda, or my empty salsa. I couldn't see the other group, but I knew that was were she was. 20 minutes later she returned to ask if i needed more Soda. I ordered a gift off of amazon and ate my entire meal in the time that I hadn't seen her. She promptly gave me the check. $18 not bad if it were good service and ok food. Upon giving me the check it was another ten minutes before she came to get my card and process the payment, without chips and salsa it felt like an eternity. I'm a big tipper 20-25% at most moderately priced restaurants, even more for excellent service. I was in the US Army for 13 years and in my experience soldiers always tipped well. Needless to say I left a big fat zero on the check with two big lines to prevent fraud. I refuse to tip for poor service, I don't care about how your day went or what had you preoccupied. Great service gets great tips and bad service gets no tip. I will not return, and I advise against this place.

El Toro's. I was so looking for great Mexican food and they were right next to our hotel. I ordered their #11 combination plate, my wife had their taco's and our girls had the chips and cheese sauce. The waitress was friendly and the restaurant décor was nicely done in an upscale Mexican motif. The complimentary corn style nacho chips and salsa came out to the table. While the salsa was fine I asked if they had anything hotter which they brought out in a very small bowl (watch out as they charge for this). It was good but not for the price. Our food came out and I was underwhelmed. While it looked good it was just ground beef. really not much else inside the burrito, enchilada and taco. For example the taco only had spiced ground beef, no lettuce, no chopped tomato, no chopped onion and no shredded cheese. Actually there was very little to no cheese on the plate for any of the three items. Same thing for my wife's taco. In my opinion non-culinary opinion just very plain and underwhelming. To the restaurants credit, my two girls loved the cheese sauce and chips and our waitress was friendly and attentive (thinking about the waitress and how well she did and was friendly to my family, I just kicked up the rating from a 2 to a 3). While I would rate the meal I had a 2, the waitress a 4 for an overall experience of a 3. We tipped her well as she deserved it.
