El Torito

My third stop on my happy hour tour was good ol' El Torito. El Torito has always been a favorite of mine. Their Mexican food doesn't disappoint and their happy hour is tasty and affordable. The restaurant features happy hour between 2 p.m.- 8 p.m. Monday to Friday. Their drink menu is the best part for only $3 you can get and original gold margarita, domestic draft, well drink and wine. Their happy hour food menu has a wide variety and ranges from $3-$12.

Eliot and I started with original gold margaritas on the rocks with salt. Tasty and refreshing for only $3.

Happy hour menu! This menu has a wide variety and can satisfy anyones hunger or drink needs.






For only $1 more you can upgrade the liquor in your cocktail.

For dinner I had the shrimp tacos which consisted of 3 grilled shrimp each, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, tartar sauce and queso fresco. The tacos definitely satisfied my taco craving but to me were a little expensive at $2.99 per taco.

Eliot had the cantina combo which consisted of crispy chicken flautas, jumbo chicken buffalo wings and boneless chicken buffalo tenders for $6.75. These seemed to be more of a steal. The combo had more food than my 2 tacos for nearly the same price.

Overall we both left satisfied. Who doesn't love margaritas and Mexican food! Dinner for 2 and a drink each and the bill was around $25. El Torito is average Mexican food at an average price. The chips and salsa are fresh and delicious and for the price the happy hour food and cocktails are worth it. I will definitely be back for happy hour next time maybe for just cocktails and free chips and salsa. I also would like to check out their $.99 taco Tuesday which features a build your own taco bar. Until then, the happy hour hunt continues!
