    As soon as I walked in I was immediately attended by the hostess who then walked me to my table. My server was Luis and did an amazing job. He made sure everything was good and attended our needs. I had a great experience and will be returning very soon! I highly recommend this place for anyone in the area.

    Excellent quality of food and service! Friendly staff, the manager is always around, talks to most clients, the servers are efficient, and the meat is fresh off the grill. Any other place would charge an arm and a leg for the dishes served here. When a restaurant is always full, it indicates quality. The look of the place, the reclaimed wood walls, the shiny plank tables, the copper mugs, Toro Loco is an unforgettable experience!

    The waitresses are super friendly and the place is very pleasant. I had no luck with the food. I ordered pork belly, which I don't recommend. It was extremely salty and it was just fat. On the other hand, the meats were soft but very cooked. It hasn't been my favorite restaurant.

    Had such a great time! The restaurant is lively and our server Royland was incredibly knowledgeable about all the meats and food and so kind! 5 Stars all around for an exciting vibe of delicious meats. The portions were great and as well at the attention to detail…. also they turn up for a birthday ;)

    Absolutely the spot to hit up for my crew! The food is seriously amazing, and the atmosphere is just right – not too fancy, but really chill. The servers? Super friendly, like they've known you forever. Their picadas are the best!! and oh man, don't even get me started on the desserts. They're a straight-up party for your taste buds, especially the coffee with that heavenly whipped cream on top. You've gotta give it a shot!

    Most of the meats were very good, some were overcooked in my opinion). However, I would still recommend this place as I enjoyed it. The sauces are excellent. Seems like a very popular place to celebrate birthdays. While the beer looks nice in this cup, it tasted slightly off (might be the dish soap or reactions with the aluminum of the cup). If El Toro Loco is reading this: I highly recommend that you switch out your knives for customers. The knives serrated edge is dulled. I watched a senior Lady struggling to cut her meat as I struggled along with her.

    Great experience as first time visitor! Food was delicious, the meats and sides all had wonderful flavor. Loved the ambience and furniture choices as well. Yustiny was wonderful as our server as well as everyone who came to check on the table. Highly recommended if you are in Miami and enjoy variety of delectable meats.

    This place is a bomb! Amazing great food! I went to food coma, but still kept eating because it was that good! Everything is was exceptional, the yuca cheese bread, picanha, and lamb chops, FANTASTIC! Only thing, maybe the chicken could have been juicier. Totally recommended!

    WE HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! LOVED our waitress FABIANA. She was so nice and had a lot of patience with us. We are from out of state and it was are first time at the restaurant and in the Miami. The staff was amazing and on top of their game. Now as far as the food and drinks. WORTH EVERY PENNY. The tenderness off the meat and the flavors were amazing. The sides were cooked perfectly. Wish we had a place like this back home. THANK YOU FABIANA!! 😃😃😃😃😄

    I can easily say that they have one of the best steaks that I ever had! And the service was above and beyond! This is definitely the place to go when you're craving a good piece of meat! I went today for the first time but I'm sure I'm gonna become a regular at that place!

    First time here and the service was fantastic. Our host asked us where we would like to sit and made sure we were comfortable. As we were getting started, our waitress took our drinks right away and gave us enough time to look at the menu. I really loved that because even though they were very busy, and we arrived about an hour before they closed at 11PM, she still had patients and gave us enough time to decide what we would be eating. Throughout our time there she checked up on us and brought us what we needed in addition to our food. Overall, excellent service and attitude from our waitress and host. I had a virgin piña colada to drink…a couple actually. Their piña coladas are so good!! I came to Miami for vacation and now I just want to come to Miami for the piña coladas here! For appetizers we got the Manchego Croquettes, they were filled with manchengo cheese and came with a homemade guava dipping sauce. Very good appetizer! Now for the main dish I got a well done New York strip. I really loved it because it was actually cooked well done while still being tender and juicy. When I went in to cut the first piece I didn’t have to force my knife into the meat or use strength at all. The flavor was fantastic too! For sides I got the corn on a cob and mashed potatoes. They were both also very good. Incidentally, I don’t really like lamb chops, but here? Here I love lamb chops!! I had already ordered my New York strip and I stole like 3 lamb chops from my dads plate. They were phenomenal!! For dessert we ordered the Torreja with ice cream and a tres leches. I can’t stress how good the Torreja was, I can’t. Words can’t even explain. I ordered it without even knowing what it was and I left knowing that I would come back for this Torreja. The tres leches was also good though! Excellent experience here!

    Food was really good but service was better. Went to the Westchester location today & Milagros was our server. She highly recommended the Wagyu steaks which we wound up getting. It was like butter. So good. My daughter had a burger, she is picky about the cheese for her burgers & Milagros went to the kitchen to make sure they could accommodate her request. She made great suggestions overall & checked on us frequently. She never let our drinks get low & was just overall very nice. When we go back, we’re definitely asking for her.

    I'm a meat lover and decided to visit the place for the first time. The meat quality is amazing. Servers are very professional. Luis took care of us and he did a great job. Food in general is excellent as well as the atmosphere.

    I once again went to Toro Loco for the third time this week. Awesome food, great service and a good time. I love the atmosphere of the place from the furniture to the meat smells. Ariana was our waiter this time and she was great, always checking in on us, refilling our drinks, and making short conversations in between waiting for her other tables. This place really makes me love going out to eat with the family.

  • 5/5 Barbara O. 5 months ago on Google
    Food & Service was beyond our expectations. Definitely will be come a regular guest here. Our server I think her name was Angeli and the gentleman that brought my dessert Guillermo were very sweet. Great hospitality & top of the line cuisine!!!! Wow a must try for all.

  • 5/5 Leduan F. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here to eat the other day for the first time, and it was a great experience, the only down side is that there is always a waiting list here at this place. The food was delicious, services was top notch and the atmosphere is great. Be ready to spend a few bucks because is not cheap but is worth it.

  • 4/5 Andres N. 10 months ago on Google
    Very short wait time for a Saturday. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The tables are very close together though, and the music videos on the tv were inappropriate for kids.

  • 5/5 Grace A. 8 months ago on Google
    Amanda was incredible!!! She was super knowledgeable and an absolute sweetheart. The food of course was delicious. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Christopher T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. It is extremely inexpensive for the quality of meat they offer. I got both the wagyu and the 1lb filet combo and it was cooked absolutely perfect. The wagyu is absolutely heavenly. They take their time on your order and it really shows. This place has earned its high rating for sure.

  • 5/5 sasha d. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service and food. Great atmosphere. As for the alcohol drink, I recommend the Sangria and the passion fruit mojito. Non alcoholic, the mint lemonade 👌🏽 and the watermelon juice. Our waiter Erica was the best. We were a group of 12 and we had a great time. I super recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Roselena R. 2 years ago on Google
    First time coming to this restaurant and wow . Our server was Jonathan , explained to us everything in detail and was always checking up on us. We ordered a Picanha and a NY Steak fajitas and everything was delicious and well prepared. Definitely worth coming.

    I’ve been here a couple of times and I have to let you know I love it. The food especially the meat is excellent, the drinks really good with a very nice presentation. In addition the desserts are to die for. Lastly “customer service “ The waitresses are very nice professional and are motivated to serve you and give you the best service possible. I’ve been to a lot of places I have to say this place is awesome especially for my business lunches it’s my favorite. Have to give a big “thank you “ to Maria Jose my waitress today for outstanding food and her personal professional service again thank you great job and see you soon. Peter /Doral FL

    Amazing food/Wonderful service! I have no words to describe how tasty and incredible all cuts were. Kassandra not only elevated my experience but she complimented my day with her incredible energy and empathic attitude (highly recommend you ask for her) Thank you guys! I saw each and every one of you completely guest focused, working hard but above all, enjoying it! All the best, - Yian
