About
El Toro is a popular spot in Banff that offers a mix of Mexican and other dishes. Many diners rave about the friendly service, especially from staff like Saif, and find the food to be a good value. However, there are also reports of inconsistent food quality and slow service. It's a casual place that's generally well-regarded, but it might not be the most authentic Mexican experience you'll find.
