El Toro Loco Poughkeepsie

"The service was a bit off the waiter kept asking repeatedly if we wanted appetizers after telling him we are waiting for more in our party to arrive. The food and drinks did make up for it though. drinks were very good and my chicken fajitas were amazing . the black beans were awesome. going to give the place another chance with the service as we also had to wait a very long time for the check."

"So decided to finally try El Toro Loco. Upon entering, the place is very nice and open. The staff was very nice and was greeted/seated upon entering. Once seated, I was given a iPad looking thing for the digital menu which I'm not a fan of but it's different. Our waiter brought out chips, which were stale, and a salsa which is made in house that's more of a mole salsa not the usual salsa with tomatoes/onions. For drinks, I did order a water and horchata which was watery and had a very slight horchata taste. The water with ice was also not bad as it didnt have a smell or that wierd taste from most places. I ended up ordering the Rachera burger which was more affordable ($15) than 3/4 of the menu as most items were around 20$ plus mark. Surprisingly the burger was very good except the bacon on it was not crunchy. Overall I would come back but just know most of the menu is 20$ + and molcajete is $47. Thanks for reading my review."

"I was invited to a social event and was gretted well by staff. As the night progressed, the appetizers were served by staff that seemed a bit unorganized. It wasn't clear where or who to order drinks from. Our main dishes arrived with no Tortillas . The food was good and the atmosphere was lively."

"Loved the interior decor great vibes here. The drinks are amazing and the food was great!! I've never had empanadas like these before and I've been around. The sauces are unique as well I still can't put a finger on what they use but I love it. Very good prices I'll be back for sure."

"Something about a Mexican restaurant at the end of a strip mall. Nearly all I've eaten in have been wonderful. (Why are they always on the far left?) El Toro Loco was no exception. A tasty experience beginning with the creamy dipping sauce that came with the tortilla chips. The margarita was balanced and bountiful. The background music was songs you know by different artists giving the place a coffee house vibe. Nice atmosphere overall - not cozy but not too strip mall. The carne asada tacos were some of the best I've tasted - and that is coming from having dined at TexMex across Utah."

"I had the chimichanga. It was fried perfectly. I really like that they had black beans with the rice. The rice was fluffy and the beans were seasoned well. I also thought the lettuce with a bit of tomatoes and cilantro was a nice touch on the side of the dish. I will definitely be back."

"Beautiful environment and even better food and service. Not to mention their drinks are delicious. Definitely coming back for a friends and family night. Ps: If you like live music your in for a real treat."
