Food was lovely. Service was a tad on the slower side but as the food was so nice it was not an issue. Cocktails were expensive for what you got
First time at El Toro - very successful. Service team were very good, menu excellent, most enjoyable. The restaurant is clean and well decorated with good low background music. We will definitely visit again soon.
I have to say this is an absolutely fantastic place with great service, amazing food and the photos do not do it justice!! I certainly will return for more and would urge any steak lover to give the place a try - I can assure you that you wouldn't regret it!

Had a meal out with some French friends last night. We only ordered mains of several steaks and one mixed grill but we were very pleased. The steaks were lovely and would recommend the restaurant without hesitation. My partner and I were a little disappointed with our sauced ie blue cheese and peppercorn sauce that’s all but it would not put us off going again. Our French friends were very impressed so that says something in itself!
I had a nice meal here with some good service to, It was quick service but very professional. The decor of the restaurant was nice
It was very good. Servers and maître de were great, friendly, helpful and very competent. Food was lovely. We had a selection of delicious tapas to start (the duck and the squid were particularly good) and our mains were well presented and cooked to perfection. Prices were reasonable and we will be back!
First time going to this restaurant so didn’t know what to expect, food was lovely and good size portions and staff were all great. Would definitely go here again
As always a brilliant service food was excellent .. cocktails amazing atmosphere was really good . Highly recommend this restaurant never had a bad experience
Paella was stodgy and looked reheated, extremely disappointed as it is a rare dish. The check back to see if our food was okay was too late and he called over from 2m away so neither of us felt comfortable complaining. But the steak was amazing.
It was good value with 2 for 1 tapas on a Wednesday. Not your traditional spanish tapas but the food was nice and the service was good.
I really enjoyed the food, it was just a shame we couldn’t have cocktails cause the bartender called in sick... however the sangria was lovely!
Meals were very nice would def recommend. Had steaks & mixed grill & everything was beautifully cooked. Service was very good, quick & efficient. If you love steak would def give it a try.
Always a lovely meal.. our favourite restaurant in Pompey ..

A great evening as usual . The steaks were superb and the maitre d' entertaining. The wine he suggested was delicious and we all had a great time.
Superb service and friendly staff. Good atmosphere for a night out and the ideal place for cocktails and a bit of food. Not sure if it's really a Latin American restaurant but if you like your steaks you certainly won't be disappointed. (and the scallops starter was delicious).
Great atmosphere, extensive menu and food was delicious. Cocktails were great with 2 for 1 deal and staff friendly and attentive. All in all a great evening.
Lovely restaurant in a great location, staff are really friendly and the food we had was really good. We will hope to be visiting again very soon.
Excellent food & atmosphere - T-Bone steaks cooked perfectly. Attentive and charming staff. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning again later in the year.
