El Toreo - Pasadena

I have been going here ever since 1983 give or take. This has always been my favorite Mexican Restaurant. Was very sadden to see it closed for so long. Yet I just found out they have reopened!! Went their this evening to get my favorite dish. I’m so very happy. I always recommend this little bit of heaven to my friends. Be back soon. BTW the new waitress is fantastic and I like the new decor..

Authentic Mexican food with great customer service. Highly recommend the experience to make this your go to restaurant

The food is SO BIG AND SO GOOD especially for the price and The man the works there was SOO NICE 10/10 must recommend

Delicious (not to mention plentiful) food! Staff was so refreshingly friendly, efficient and professional. Went with a large group and they were so accommodating. Had a great time. Thank you to this amazing staff!

If you are looking for comida casera (homestyle cooking) this is the place. I've been eating here over 20 years, but since they reopened from covid I have only been here once. Food was still excellent, just well made with great service. Two of my favorites are Pollo Ranchero, and Tostada de ceviche. Not a fancy or pretentious place, and great for takeout. I did see a sign a while back that they had applied for a change of ownership but not sure about that. Still good food glad they are still open for business. stop in for a cold beverage, chips y salsa and some good food!
