   Food and service was fantastic! Would definitely recommend El Toro. The all you can eat is worth the money if you feel you would eat more than 3 dishes however the food choices aren't as wide variety as the A La Carté, you seem to get more food options on there. Only other downside is the small seating space downstairs, you are close to other tables. But, it made it quite intermate and was a different kinda dining experience. Overall a brilliant night out!

   Restricted menu (all you can eat) on a Saturday night. Food was ok. Servers very attentive. Not sure we'll go again.

   Service was poor, we had to keep going to the bar to ask for something even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food was terrible, all you can eat tapas which was our only option was clearly microwaved and not fresh at all. All reheated and nothing was cooked fresh. The calamari was rubbery, the chicken was overcooked, the meatballs were basically sitting in tomato soup! Absolutely not worth the money.

   Booked for a night with friends, x3 meat eaters, and x1 vegetarian. Quick friendly service. Loads of food to choose from. Tapas portions arrived hot and quick and were quick to take the next order, too. Nice atmosphere that didn't intrude into the conversation. excellent choice, and I will be happy to book again.

    Overall we were disappointed with our dining experience at El Toro. We were seated upstairs where the atmosphere was a little flat with lights that were too bright. Service was variable, one waitress was attentive but the other was inexperienced and would benefit from some customer service training - not smiling, asked to remove plates when we hadn’t finished, then left the plates for a good 20 mins after we had finished. When serving dishes to customers it’s better to say the name of the dish from the menu rather than ‘chorizo and chips’ for picadillo or ‘chips and garlic sauce’ for patatas aioli (neither dish has any chips).. We ordered 5 tapas between 2 of us. The food was average and not as authentic as hoped, with small servings, The estofado was tender but a mix of Spanish and Greek flavours with cinnamon and chickpeas (not authentic Spanish), and not a lot of meat. The alioli potatoes didn’t have homemade sauce and the calamari was chewy with coating that looked like it was cooked before, or not at the right temperature. We really wanted to enjoy this but at £9 or £10 per tapas it really wasn’t good value.
