Authentic Mexican Very tasty meals that were served promptly.
Best Mexican food in Brisbane. Hidden gem. My family have been going here for 20 years and it’s still amazing. Their hand made corn tortillas are amazing. The owner is lovely and likes a chat. Him and his wife work mostly in the kitchen to control the quality of the food so it’s sometimes hard to see them.
Went here for weekday dinner with the partner. We ordered the Horchata (non-alcoholic) and Michelada Picosa Beer, which are delicious and refreshingly different.
For mains, we tried the Mole Poblano and the Chochinita Pibil. Generous servings of Mexican comfort food.
Friendly service with one extremely hardworking and lovely waitress. Reasonable prices. Casual ambience with limited indoor table seating.
Overall, a great Mexican option for authentic Mexican cuisine that isn't limited to the mass tacos and burritos found elsewhere.
Very friendly and quick staff. Beautiful margaritas for a great price and the food was delicious. Would defiantly drive the half hour over the local Mexican restaurants around logan.

Celebrated my 30th birthday here with my husband. We love Mexican food and this by far is the most authentic place we have eaten so far! Highly recommended!
Authentic Mexian homestyle cooking!
El Torito is a West End institution. Thanks to the recommendations from Gabriela we had a wonderful Friday night dinner here - flautas and tamales to start, followed by chicken enchiladas in salsa verde and cochinita pibil (slow cooked pork in a spicy tomato based sauce). The food is very good, the prices are reasonable and the service was genuine and friendly. BYO at $2.00 per head was a plus.
The decor here is pretty bad and it's not the most inviting look, but the food is pretty good. I've had the chimichangas a few times and they are always good. The staff are always friendly too.
Excellent food and service. Authentic Mexican in contrast to the Tex-Mex that chain restaurants provide.
Service was friendly and attentive and showed genuine enthusiasm for their food.
The food was amazing very authentic like with lots of flavour. Thr pricing was good value for food. The service was good and quick. Great host who was Jorge!
My partner and I went the other night for dinner and were made to feel incredibly welcome by the lovely staff here. On top of great service, they do fantastic food. Lots of selections, including some delicious vegetarian options. Really reasonable pricing as well.
Had their Rose Mojito Special, it was amazing! Their food never disappoints. Thank you for your great food and service!
This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have come across in Australia. Whenever I visit Brisbane, I make it a point to visit this place and I have never been disappointed. I have tried all vegetarian dishes. It's delicious and authentic. Do visit and enjoy good food with cool vibes!
Best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten. I had the Mole Poblano which is such a unique dish. I also had some tamales and a delicious margarita.
The service was on point. The staff were very diligent and made good recommendations but not overbearing.
I have eaten here a few times and the quality of the food is consistently amazing. Recommend calling to make a booking as they can be busy, but sometimes you can walk in.
The real deal for authentic Mexican, having spent significant time in Arizona we're well versed in this style of genuine Mexican food and decor. No unnecessary fancy, high priced spinoffs or adaptions here. Just the classics we've been coming back for, for over 7 years now and will continue to do. Great service and the best classic margaritas you'll find at a price other venues only offer at happy hour.

For M on our trip around the world in Brisbane we chose Mexico; and thus went to El Torito to immerse ourselves in a truely authentic Mexican culinary experience.
Thank you for the restaurant's warm hospitality, and pride in their food culture, which really shone through in the restaurant's decor, the quality of what was served, and authentic friendly and well informed service.
Drinks:
We had the special mango and blueberry margaritas and home made lemonade. The regular margaritas also looked enticing, but as I drove, I limited myself to one.
Mains we had included:
Chochinita Pibil, which was pork marinated with achiote, black peppercorns, orange and lemon juices. Served with rice and whole beans. I'd have to say it was light, with delicate, well balanced flavours that showcased it's ingredients in such a delicious way. The brown rice was fluffy and soft perfection.
An ensemble of tacos as recommended by our friendly waitress, a very helpful young Mexican lady, who was rightly proud of her food culture. All of the tacos were delicious, with wonderful flavours and textures that transformed our understanding of tacos.
Lastly, the young one ordered nachos minus sour cream. Despite the ingredient deletion, the nachos were also satisfying.
Dessert:
We had two apple flauta and the caramel flan. All were nicely balanced with their sweetness and flavours, not too sweet, and rounded off our meal nicely, even with the chocolate sauce, which you could adjust to your taste.
We had a lovely experience and could only recommend it to others who are looking for a casual and friendly establishment that turns out excellent food, whether passing through on your way to some other places in the area, for which there are many, of just to have a meal in West End, as we did.
