El Toro

I ordered the Chili Rojo de Puerco (medium spicy) plus a chile relleno on the side. Great tastes and amount of food all the way around. Friendly and helpful staff. I love supporting local independent businesses and El Toro is definitely going to see me as a repeat customer. The whole menu looks good, which I can’t wait to explore. Go!

This place never disappoints. We order from them at least every other week or so. The food is always fresh and delicious and ready on time. Highly recommend if you are looking for some delicious authentic Mexican food here in the city!

Stuck at St. Francis Hospital and sick of hospital food, I needed a fix of Mexican
Ordering was very simple; it was very easy to communicate. Delivery was here in the promised time (@ 1 hour)
I started with chips and guacamole. They generously sent two bags of chips; careful, guacamole is spicier than most places.
I ordered the special combo — enchiladas, burritos, etcetera. Very tasty. Spicy. Plenty of food for leftovers.
I’m a big fan of re-​fried beans, so ordered a side order. Huge amount. I couldn’t finish in two meals.
One star lost for the rice. There was lots of it, but it was dry and lacking flavor.
Since I’m still stuck in the hospital, I could see myself ordering from here again.

Being from Arizona, I’m totally spoiled by all the authentic Mexican food. So ever since I moved to to Wilmington, I’ve been looking for good authentic Mexican to kill my craving. Finally I found this place. I ordered two carne Asada tacos and Mexican rice. The food was awesome and tasted like home! Staff are very friendly too. I will for sure come back!

Food is delicious. Great daily specials and combo plates. Prices are good. Delivery is fast. Have not dined in, but the staff is always friendly over the phone.

El Toro is one of my favorite places for Mexican take-​out
The food is all ways prepared fresh and homemade whenever I’m in town I tried to stop by

Mediocre at best. I’ve had plenty of Mexican. This is one of the few «authentic» Mexican spots that sell ground hamburger meat. Not authentic… Very disappointed in the taste, it was very bland and not seasoned at all. El piqué is just a drive down the road, best tacos in Wilmington area hands down.

heard about from co-​worker of wife. Tried and became an instant fan. Everything is fresh and delicious. I am a big fan of the torta cubana. Wife likes the chicken chimichanga. Neil K gave two reviews and both were negative. Don’t pay attention.

I love love love El Toro. The owner really takes it seriously and uses the best meat he can find. We had the chicken wings once and it was a disappointment but that’s not really what the place is known for. The lunch specials are a good deal

Have a back up lunch, when you order just incase it may take an hour and 45 minutes for your food to arrive. Delivery service sucks!

I live in Philadelphia (graduate hospital) and drive 35 minuets for this and have been for over 15 years. Best Mexican I have ever had. the Chilaquilas with the chicken over the chips is a real treat and my favorite order. I like mine the hottest so no one else in the house takes my left overs!!!
I have to remind myself not all entrees come with beans anymore so you have to order a side, and dip some chips in them.
I brought my boyfriend for the first time today for take out. We were too excited we had to sit and eat our chicken supreme nachos before we hit the road!

We had ordered from this place several times, as it is next to our employment. The food has always been sub par and barely edible, but because to proximity we always ordered. Today we finally had it. The manager didn’t deliver our entire $ 72 meal and refused to send a courier for the rest of the delivery. The users that gave this establishment 3 stars or better probably haven’t traveled outside of the 19 805 ever in their lives and have the refined palate of a 4 year old.

The food is always cooked fresh and it’s immaculate. Price is very low as well and they serve you big portions depending on what you order. I would recommend this to any one that is craving Mexican and wants something fast and tasty. Compliments to the cooks!

Great authentic Mexican food at an affordable price. I’ve tried several things there (tacos, enchiladas, taco salad, nachos supreme, chimichanga) and all were amazing. The only downside to this place is there is very little seating space — if you have more than two people in your party you can sometimes get seating but you also need to be prepared to take it to go if needed.

Finally! A Mexican restaurant that captures the essence of Mexico. I had the carnitas taco. Juicy, delicious carnitas with onions, cilantro and a lime wedge, just the way I’ve had the street tacos in Mexico! The chile relleno and beans were terrific too. It’s a teeny little place. Only 3 tables, but they deliver. I’m so glad this place was suggested to me and I’m SO sure we will be ordering from here all the time!

Great authentic Mexican takeout. I eat here at least once a week. Fresh prepared ingredients, and prompt service.

Eh go elsewhere. People are rude and overcharge you for crappy food.

Had lunch from here today and wasn’t impressed. It’s standard fare. They claim to be «authentic,» but it’s along the lines of La Tolteca (La Tonalteca), which means substandard «authentic» Mexican food. It never ceases to amaze me how people in these parts seem to «know» what good Mexican food is. Unforutnately, this isn’t it (nor are the others listed above).
On to the next Mexican restaurant…

Wilmington has a few really great authentic taco shops if you know where to look and this is one of them. Venture out from the standard safe chicken soft-​shell taco and you will be amazed. The service is always friendly and even with less than a dozen seats it is worth being cramped to get this food fresh and hot.
TIP: The queso (cheese) dip at most mexican places is dreadful, here they use authentic mexican cheeses instead of the processed american garbage and the result is white gold.

Looking for awesome, authentic tacos Mexicana in Wilmington? El Toro gets five stars for both quality and taste.
The carnitas tacos are delicious, even if you’re not one who typically orders pork. Lean, freshly grilled pulled pork, seasoned to perfection. The tacos asada are equally as good, fresh, charred just right. This little shop offers very limited seating and is best suited for take out orders if you’re more than two people. Parking is limited to the street so calling ahead would be best to do a quick pick-​up; otherwise, plan to search for parking on a busy weekday or weekend evening. Still, dropping by this true hidden treasure on the edge of Wilmington’s Little Italy is a treat you shouldn’t refuse yourself. Mui bueno! Viva El Toro!
