Adela Garrido EcheverriaJanuary 26, 2014I Order the fish tacos and they.weren't anything special, the tortilla was falling apart which shouldn't happen. But the raspberry sangria was really good!
Such a fan of the tacos here drinks aren't my favorite though- Adela Garrido EcheverriaJanuary 23, 2014Raspberry sangría very good but small. Good things come in small portions? Ribs empanadas taste good but not authentic, they have BBQ sauce, in a mexican dish and ketchup as dipping sauce? ?!! WTH!
Minyi ShihMarch 14, 2013Snapper ceviche is very flavorful. The spicy margarita isn't so spicy but fun to drink. Yay!
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldMay 9, 2014Never speak of El Toro Blanco. Unless of course you’re talking about my 17lb Chinchilla of the same name. Everyone loves hearing about his hijinks.
Chris KonecnyFebruary 12, 2015This is pretty good Mexican food and I really enjoyed my meal. That said there are better places in NYC.
Sean WilkinsAugust 16, 2014Only been here for happy hour, but it's a good deal for both snacks and cocktails.
Sarah LambertJanuary 9, 2013Yum! Especially guac, queso fundido, chopped salad, and shrimp tacos. Ok everything I ate
Nick AndlingerJanuary 20, 2017Really disappointed. I rarely leave poor reviews but this place is really not good. Drinks and food were pretty terrible. We were expecting more since Bowery meat co and lure are run by the same group
LukeFebruary 20, 2016Not the quality of seafood you'd expect from the people behind Lure. Exactly the price to quality ratio of Mexican food you'd expect from Manhattan- Adela Garrido EcheverriaJanuary 23, 2014The fish taco were ok. But the tortilla was falling apart, no the way it suppose to be. The habanero sauce with pumpkin seeds delicious but hot.
ThomasMarch 11, 2018Doesn't have tamales despite all the reviews, waitress looked at us like we were insane. Chips, small guac, two margaritas, two unremarkable tacos and two okay enchiladas should not cost $102.
AllieJanuary 14, 2013Lobster ceviche was good - otherwise largely undeserving of the hype. Food is mediocre; service blasé. Empellon is a better bet in the neighborhood.
Taco AficionadoMay 28, 2013Rename it el toro blando b/c the food is meh. Better options in this neighborhood so dont stay if you can find an escape hatch. If you have to stay, try la diabla salsa.

"The space is small but very cozy. The only thing I've had so far are the nachotones and they blew my mind! Add chicken for only $2 and you have a whole meal! I'll be coming back for sure."
