Beautiful decor with very helpful and friendly staff!
Serving and waiting staff are welcoming, talkative and try to answer any questions you have about menu items or furnishings.
I really liked the description of their wall painting being inspired by a place in Colombia and that it took 3 weeks to paint.
Lovely recommendation about their beer selection, Quilmes is an Argentinian lager that's light, crisp and a bit spicy. I had Empanadas as my starter (which means "to wrap" I was lucky to ask about this dish and enjoy the two selections, served with salad) this lager complimented the flavours very well and the pastry was as fluffy as filo. If you feel adventurous this was worth trying :)
Their portions are generous, in advance I'd recommend asking about the dish/plate size.
Their draught beer is Peroni and comes in half pint or pint. Their selection of sides arrives in very nice medium sized bowls. Onion rings are tasty and their "thin fries" aren't like french fries but are just as tasty accompanied with Chimichurri sauce!
Our group had a selection of meat dishes(ribeye, fillet steaks and rack of lamb) and was cooked to perfection. I tried a bit of the lamb a family member had offered and it was tender, succulent and well seasoned.
Overall, great decor with comfortable soft leather seating and music volume was balanced well that added to ambience. Amazing tentative staff.
If this helps:
The floater coffee is an "Irish Coffee" without the whiskey.
"Chimichurri" was explained as a combination of garlic, parsley, olive oil and chilli.
Green beans are with sundried tomatoes.
Green spinach is fresh.
Toilets are located at the back towards the left.
Thank you very much El Toro. Happy Christmas and New Year!
Had a steak sharing platter, which was a massive portion for the two of us. The selection of cuts were each cooked the way we specified, and they were delicious(try the chimichurri sauce with them, it's divine)! After such a meal it's usually satisfying to just sit around a bit and chat, so we had a couple of drinks as part of the 2 for 1 cocktail deal, which were beautifully presented and delicious. The staff was lovely, the service was quick, and the food and drinks were all to our liking! So whether you're looking for a nice dinner or just to grab a few coctails I recommend visiting El Toro.
Me and my partner had a lovely meal, opted for the mixed grill and it did not disappoint. All the meat was succulent and delicious. Will be returning. £55.00 for two meals and two drinks. Can’t go wrong
You walk into this place and just the atmosphere is gorgeous. Incredible vibe. Attentitave waiters. No matter if it's their table or not, if they see empty plates, they come over to remove them. Vast food selection and so tasty. I had paella for the first time ever and I love it! Meat is also tasty. Prices are reasonable. Found another favorite place! Wish they would do take out/delivery though. I am often alone and don't like sitting in restaurants by myself lol.
A brilliant meal, one of the best steak houses I've been in, all three of us enjoyed our meals, two steak, one fish. And the dessert, sticky toffee pudding and ice cream, was large and very tasty. Would recommend booking if in Portsmouth. And would definitely return.
It was a good meal and the meat was beautifully cooked we had a mixed grill meal and a steak with lamb chop meal and the meat just seemed to be missing a little chargrilled flavour which is unusual for this place. Chicken was a bit dry but the chips and peppercorn sauce were great. The staff were super friendly and great with my 18 month old. A decent turn around for us of about an hour, granted our starter was nachos and didn't need long to prepare.
A lovely restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was perfect and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Thank you to all of the staff members for being so welcoming and polite.
Insanely good food, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone, melt in your mouth levels of perfection and the steak cut chips were delightfully fluffy with a nice crispy outer layer. Friendly and professional staff with reasonable prices too!
Great food and drinks and such a wonderful atmosphere with wonderful staff, definitely recommend and will come again.
Friendly staff, prompt service, great food, very tasty, perfectly cooked. Would definitely recommend 👌.
Last minute decision to come here for our Grandsons 18th.
Great choice, such friendly staff, beautiful food and great atmosphere.
Also good choice for vegetarians.
Definitely coming back!
