Happy to upgrade our Toros rating to 4 stars!
Haven't been here is several months but noticed they changed their menu from Spanish to Mexican and were offering a Groupon so why not give them another try?
We were off to a great start soon as we arrived. Seated promptly on a Friday nite and we were looking to watch the UNLV game while we had dinner and the asked if they were showing it on one of the TVs. The host promptly turned the channel for us!
We ordered a few items to share:
~Carne asada NACHOS were perfect! They fry their own tortilla chips which to me is a must-do if you are a Mexican restaurant.
~TACOS: The ground beef is crunchy shell and also home-fried, was our fav of the tacos. Al pastor was a bit sweet for my taste but still good. Barbacoa was tender and flavorful. Overall- I like spicy so just wish they had some hot salsa on the side - which they might. Meant to order the cactus salsa but forgot- plus it costs an extra dollar - salsa should be a "given" in a Mexican restaurant.
~SIDE: Corn (elotes) was fresh and buttery served with cojita cheese but needed a little spice shaker. The cilantro rice was green. Like Kermit green. Didn't look natural so it threw me off and it didn't taste very good.
~Finished off the meal with the homemade CHURROS recommended by our waiter. They were served hot covered in cinnamon sugar--crisp on the outside with a warm soft inside and fresh whipped cream. So delicious! Even better than Bobby Flays at Mesa Grill
