We popped in on our first visit to the beach. What attracted us initially was the cool area at the back which was essential at lunch during a 30 degree heat. Very friendly staff and we were made to feel welcome. Food was better than we expected and given the location, value for money and quality of food we went... More

Given its location we has some doubts but this was our best meal in Maspalomas ! Great fish, great meat, lovely service. The place was filled with regular customers, felt like a big family or group of friends. We will be back.

We had browsed Tripadvisor to find a good quality restaurant in Maspalomas, Puerto Rico, Playa Ingles area. We happened to be close so we looked up El Toro and it was hard to find and as in many reviews the interior looked pretty dodgy. Since it had got very good reviews we decided to try it out. At the entry... More

El Toro was nice enough with a decent menu. We ate inside and had lunch for two for €30 which was the best value we had on the front. The food was well presented and pleasant.

Beats easily any other restaurant at the beach. Don't let the facade to fool you. When you get inside the restaurant and choose the corner table you will definitely enjoy. I had the best T-boner in my life here!

My husband and children ate here for dinner. The staff was very nice and accommodating. My son and I both had fish and it was rather bland. My husband had a steak and it was tender, but not much flavor. I would not go back , but did think the staff was very nice!

Although the food is okay, I certainly didn't find it as wonderful as other reviewers have described. I had a variety of grilled meats, but I found it very dry. The vegetables were pretty nice but the french fries sadly wheren't home made but deep frozen. The place itself is VERY cramped with the smalles tables I have set in.... More

Don't be put off by the photo's of the dishes out side the restaurant like every other place, El Toro serves quality food. We ate four times here during our weeks stay and the food was great every time. Tried the meat and fish(tuna steak) and all dishes had wonderful accompanying sauces and nicely presented. Staff all friendly and let... More
