“ Our go to place. Javier always take care of us. Making sure our chips and salsa always full. The place is a little small but busy. The table salsa is one of the favorites. The red sauce. It is a little spacey for my kids, so they gave them the green sauce. I had beef burritos, my family had Mexican bowl, enchiladas, beef tacos, fish tacos, empanadas chicken. Ronaldo was our server this time. He was very good and making sure food allergies. The portion was pretty good. Reason I did not finish my burritos was because had too much chips. Every time we come here, always get good service. ”
“ Nothing but good experiences here. Reliably great food, very friendly and attentive staff. Try the house special mole! ”
“ been coming here for 30 years, family owned business thats authentic! Their fajitas are my favorite and Ive never had better fajitas in my life. Their atmosphere is so unique and beautiful too! Overall one of the best Mexican food in the City, highly recommend! ”
“ I was invited to El Toreador The Bullfighter for dinner and here is my review. The food was definitely authentic Mexican food with great sauces. Our dishes included Mole sauce, Verde sauce, and Chipotle sauce. The Mexican rice was perfectly made with tomato sauce. I particularly enjoyed the salty flavor in the rice. We ordered refried pinto beans vs black beans and we also enjoyed the creamy texture with the topping of melted cheese. I am not sure if the tortillas are freshly made but they were fine since the sauces smothered the tortillas. I would return to El Toreador in the future. ”
“ This is a tried and true goto for my boyfriend and I when we are looking for a delicious place to eat in West Portal. Yummy Mexican food that is really reasonably priced. They bring you house made tortilla chips and house made roasted salsa. Both fresh and delicious. The salsa is spicy HOT, so be careful. Its not for the faint of heart. The entree portions are huge. The decor is super fun and festive. I could seriously stare at all the colorful chachkis for hours. The staff is really friendly and attentive. They make you feel really welcomed. Lastly, it can get busy here, especially at dinner time. There may be a wait, but its definitely worth it. ”
“ I got the chicken mole enchiladas the first time. I got the chili rellenos and crunchy chicken tacos the second time, regular chicken enchiladas the third time, and chicken tamale and chicken enchilada the fourth time. Loved everything that I have ordered so far. Also enjoyed the red salsa and chips the rice refried beans and salad that comes with your food. The fruity margaritas were a bit too sweet for my taste go for the original lime, and any of the varieties of beers available. The decor is quirky but thats also what makes this a unique and delicious destination spot that serves hearty portions at a reasonable price for San Francisco! ”
“ The salsa is so flavorful but not for the faint of heart... ask for the verde sauce. I absolutely love this place, the food is tremendous, always hot. Ive had the almanecer, albondiga soup, Mission burritos and each one keeps me coming back. The food is seasoned well but not salty, always fresh ingredients. Ask for Sheldon or Aaron and theyll treat you right. A must in the West Portal area ”
“ The chicken mole, the last item on the entrees, is amazing. Great salsa and decent free small bowl of tomato soup before the meal. The pork crouton in the soup is great. ”
