I am a Champlin resident that has eaten at this El Toro's location 50-100 times, and I can count on my one hand the times that anything has gone wrong. It has been an excellent, inexpensive, friendly, and good experience for our family throughout the years we've patronized them, and we all are in agreement when our meal choice out is El-Toro's. The food is almost always very good, generous portions and a great price value.
Why people can complain about this place is beyond me...or maybe they are just really hard to please.
Our daughter loves this place more than any other choice we'd give her and she says the cheese they use in their food is out of this world.

What a huge mistake - I ordered from El Toro again! I let my daughter talk me into placing a take out order at El Toro in Champlin. Once again, they said "10 minutes." Once again, they didn't even START to put the order together until we got there. We waited 15 minutes for ONE piece of tres leches cake. Got it home - and it was cheesecake. Unbelievable! Literally, they have NEVER gotten a take-out order correct! I don't know why I don't check the order on the counter before leaving becasue they have NEVER gotten it right! It really takes the joy out of bringing home a treat or dinner when it is grab bag surprise every time you go there. And to make matters worse, they STOPPED serving their fabulous tres leches cake and now serve a much cheaper (at the same price as before), much lower quality cake. It is one thing to put up with their crappy service for a good piece of cake - but I really would NOT encourage anyone to order from El Toro. I know that I won't ever again! (I sure wish I could give ZERO stars!)

I have been a resident of Champlin for 20+ years and it's about time we get a restaurant of this quality. I have been going to El Toros since they opened and I feel like I am in the heart of Mexico. The service is five star and the I never leave hungry. The food is awesome. Good value for area.
