    The service is great but the food was just average. My wife and I had the chicken enchilada and chicken/steak fajitas and the taste of each was rather bland. The presentation was nice, but the flavors didn’t excite and you can find similar or better at large franchises and for better value.

    Went here on Valentine’s Day. We were so tightly packed into our table that we could hear every word of the couples next to us conversation and they were not talking loud at all. I could eat off their plate without having to lean at all. It was a joke. They crammed these tables to maximize revenue for one night. Terrible experience

    We have been to Blue Toro multiple times, though this will be the last. While the house margaritas are still good and we liked the shrimp ceviche, the two main courses we ordered were not good. The cheese enchiladas were over cooked and the tortillas were hard and dry. The pork chop was dry and the mashed potatoes have gone down hill significantly from prior visits. The best part of the main courses was the asparagus.

    Service was fantastic-we especially loved the margarita flights and queso! Thanks for helping us celebrate a special birthday-the dessert was outstanding!

    Beet salad had extra chili powder. Told them that I didn’t want extra spice on tacos.. taco was good. Never thought salad also had chili powder on it
