I can not say enough good things about this restaurant! Food is good. Salsa is fantastic!! Salsa is so good, I am attempting to get some back to Georgia in my luggage. Hopefully my clothes won't end up covered in it. The service was amazing. Owner is really kind. I was traveling in Sarasota, I accidentally left my cc on the table. When I called the next day, sure enough, they had put it up. I was across town in a hotel, no car with a 6 am flight the next day. The owner was so so kind that after he closed his restaurant he made the trek to my hotel and dropped my cc for me at the front desk. I can't believe he was kind enough to go out of his way for someonee who ate there twice. If you get a chance, try this place!***update*** mission success, enjoying salsa in Georgia for lunch!

First time here. Delicious food, great service. If we're ever in this area again, we would not hesitate to stop. Salsa is spicy, but has great flavor.

Brought my wife in for an evening of football and chips and salsa! Food and service was excellent. We were seated and served very very quickly. I recommend el toro bravo to anyone!

This is the place to go for the best chips and salsa in Sarasota! Friendly staff, great street tacos, and a good energy. This is our Friday night "go-to" after a long day.

Came with a group of friends recently and had a great time. Food was good, service was quick, and the atmosphere is great too. I will be back to watch some football games this season!

Do not waste your time with any other Mexican restaurant—El Toro is the real deal! The chips and salsa are amazing, and hands down the best quesadilla I’ve ever had.Dan keeps you laughing the whole time too. I’m still trying to figure out if he works there or just shows up to entertain people 😂. Either way, the food and experience were awesome.We’ll definitely be back!

This is the place to go! My 9 year old son and I went on a Taco Tuesday and they were SUPER friendly to him, remembering his name and interacting friendly with him, but the staff culture seemed great and their service was really amazing! Not to mention the food was also REALLY GOOD! I got the Monterey.

Looking for a Mexican restaurant in Sarasota with the BEST chips and salsa, polite staff, timely service, and a ton of menu options? You’ve found it! Had an opportunity to meet the owner, easy to see how they have been in business so long with a following. Thank you Dan and the staff at El Toro Bravo.

This is the best Mexican place in town! The chips and salsa are to die for and the margaritas will keep you coming back! The football special menu is amazing! The Cuban is so moist and flavorful and the pizza rolls are nostalgic and cheesy! Worth the visit!

I went Monday night for a fantasy draft! Service was great. Food amazing. Every time I come in town I make sure to hit El Toro Bravo for lunch or dinner … and I’m not ashamed sometime both!! Chili is amazing. I know it’s won some local contests! My favorite dish are the fajitas. Favorite app is queso w meat sauce and the chili.

Enchiladas were good. Way too much lettuce and tomato thrown on top, but it seemed fresh.

Food was good. They did provide us the option outside the menu since we are vegetarian. Server lady was bit confused and so our dishes. But they corrected it. FYI-very salty though. Overall food was good.
