"I'm from San Diego. I knew moving here to Paducah,Ky. that I would be saying goodbye to carne asada and El Pastor tacos! But I was so wrong!! El Torito's nailed it!! I felt like I was back in San Diego! Their El Pastor is different but very good! Im not a big fan of spicy red and green sauce so when I wasn't asked if I wanted green or red, it didn't matter much to me. They did give me a type of red but it wasn't the same. But their chips and salsa are fantastic!! full of flavor, not hot, and the chips were warm, fresh , thin and crispy? The staff was friendly and engaging, the atmosphere was cheery, comfortable and clean. I visit there often! Oh, and their margaritas are fantastic!!"

"Friday night 6:30, parking lot almost full. Seated right away, within a min or so chip person dropped of chips and salsa. Shortly after server got our drink order and returned quickly with them. Gave us a few to look over menu and returned. Food came out fairly quick, server was very attentive. Drinks refilled promptly. Everyone's food had good taste and was large amounts. Service was exceptional and friendly. This is by far one of if not the best Mexican restaurant in town. Very reasonable on prices. We will return often."

"The carne asada is delicious and it's made from Rib-eye steak according to my sister. I had the Apricot-Mango chipotle chicken dish. The sauce was mild and tasty but the chicken was a bit overcooked. Refried beans are not cooked in lard but they do cook it with a little Mexican sausage, according to our waiter. It was really good. You can ask for corn tortillas even though the menu says flour on all the dishes. Nice atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend this place."
