Delicious, flavorful Mexican cuisine. Be sure to try the guacamole varieties, tacos, ensaladas (great for anyone looking for a healthier option) and specialty margaritas! Brunch is awesome too!

Finally veered away from the amazing Carne Asada Burrito and tried the Huevos Rancheros for brunch. Make sure to avoid waiting for the check and pay with Cover ⚡️💰👌

Shrimp tacos + chorizo burrito. Definitely order the guacamole to start, go small, there was plenty. Tacos a tad spicy, but plenty of meat and sauce. Pro tip: Fill the burrito with the hash browns.

Fun vibe. Share the Queso Fundido & open-faced quesadilla, then order several shrimp & fish tacos. The Chili Rubbed Mango Margarita wins for best drink. Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check!

Everything was on point. The chips and fresh guacamole were so addicting and the Tinga de pollo tacos were to die for.

Top for mezcal drinks. Mezcal old fashioned with chocolate bitters the best. Wonderful food and service. Faves: Made to order guacamole, Lobster tacos, Lobster and Shrimp ceviches, Grilled octopus
Andy RosenbergMarch 26, 2014
Start with the guacamole and then try any of the tacos. I suggest the Cabritos. And don't forget to pay with Cover!

Great place for any celebration that calls for a tequila shot, or two, or three. You might also want to order guacamole and short-rib empanadas.
Terry YangJune 2, 2014
great flavors and execution plus fresh produce = a memorable experience. Definitely try the skirt steak and the tuna ceviche. Portions are not huge but still well worth the money. Def coming back

There is a $18 lunch special. You get an appetizer and an entree. Get the Sopa de Frijol it's so good and creamy. The chicken tacos are kind of sweet but the fish tacos and al pastor tacos are delish!

Love the tacos, the guacamole and the plantain in mole sauce side. The churros with the dipping sauces is excellent as well. Good ambiance and friendly service.

The happy hour nachos are only available from 3 to 7pm on weeknights, but they are some of the best in town.

“Oh, I’ll just have one bite” will turn into you licking the skillet of queso fundido. Just let it happen. Read more

Start with the guacamole and split with a group of friends. You can't go wrong with any of the tacos on the menu. Try the Cabritos and pay with Cover!

The latest venture from John McDonald and Josh Capon, the team behind the crowd-pleasing SoHo establishments Lure Fishbar and Burger & Barrel Winepub. Tampiqueña, Al Pastor, Pollo en Mole Coloradito.

Great food (Mango Marg, street corn, chix tacos, skirt steak, ques). Service can be a little "Sloman Shieldy" at times
Nicholas M.July 30, 2017
Guacamole with veggie sticks. Get it spicy. Taco selection v good. Al pastor. Chopped salad. street corn side v good.
Omi LetiAugust 10, 2014

Matthew SpectorApril 4, 2015
Great, spirited fresh Mexican fare. Generous guacamole portions and a solid brunch menu. Al pastor tacos are brilliant.

The menu is authentic, innovative and I love this area in the West Village. Check out this new restaurant and bar, which incidentally, just opened yesterday!

Sit at the guacamole bar if you can. Also the lunch pre-fixe is one of the best deals in town. Don't forget to pay with Cover!
Jeremy JacobowitzFebruary 1, 2015
Came for brunch and it was fantastic! Def get the plantains and Colorado guac!!
DipikaNovember 12, 2014
Get the guacamole!! Yum. And the habanero salsa was just the right type of spicy! Paired with margaritas, you can't go wrong.
Liz HadawayMarch 23, 2013
the children's menu portions are larger and cheaper than the regular menu items. I had tacos, my son had fish sticks [see picture]
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 22, 2014
Short rib empanadas. Get lots of plates to share and go for brunch if you can.
Kaitlin SiemeringSeptember 2, 2015
Come at happy hour for high quality drinks and bites (chips, guac, and tacos) at great prices
Erika Lopez GarciaJanuary 2, 2013
Burrito is delicious! The guac is a bit pricey but it's delicious, fresh and done to your preference (e.g. Cilantro, medium, mild, or spicy, etc).

Great place for kids. You get a delicious adult margarita and they get a kids menu and super kid friendly staff. Josh Capon gets it.
Jessica NgAugust 2, 2014
The guacamole w/ the house-made chips were so good! The tacos were only so-so, but free refills on the chips
San SanApril 29, 2016
Great food. Yummy guacamole. Very nice inside and option for outdoor seating.
Eileen SuttonApril 26, 2014
Loved my mango margarita, and in terms of food the corn tamales and empanadas are really standout.

Here's your evening: the El Toro Margarita, chips and guac, then the Cabrito tacos. Do it.
Andy AmendolaNovember 11, 2012
Must have side= Mexican street corn. For entree the skirt steak is so tender and chicken tacos are very flavorful

Open faced steak quesadilla is a must! Pay with Cover and you won't complain about the incredibly slow waitstaff.

Amazing margaritas, tequilas, and the chicken tamales are the best
Rick ValenzuelaJanuary 19, 2013
The chicken enchiladas that left the menu at their sister restaurant, Burger & Barrel, made it to this menu. Get it.
melissa HochmanJune 28, 2013
Sit outside with a mango marg, lobster cerviche, chicken tacos, pork empanadas and guac!
harryhJune 19, 2014
It's better than Dos Caminos. That's as high as I'm willing to go with my praise.
Nikhita MahtaniMarch 19, 2017
Super fresh, limey guac. Shrimp tacos and Brussels sprouts ftw 💕
Mr Joe LeechOctober 7, 2013
Amazing chocolate sauce with the churros not to mention the stunning guacamole and salsas.
MichelleNovember 29, 2012
The tacos are perfect for lunch. Great food and great service. Will definitely be back!
Erika PerziJuly 1, 2016
Chopped salad is really solid, one of the best in downtown.
Melea S.April 21, 2013
If the Kardashians had a restaurant and threw a private party for the Jersey Shore cast, it would resemble El Toro Blanco.
Stephen WepplerSeptember 8, 2013
Stopped for a drink on the way by, kind of expensive but very nice, good patio.
Lovely G.August 12, 2014
If you love Mexican food this is the place for you. The guacamole and chops were freshly made. There's nothing about this place I didn't love.
