El Toro Pizza & Restaurant

First time in eating out in ages and El Toro has been a favourite, however we will not be going back again. The steak meal served was so salty that you could not eat it - everything was salty, the vegies, the sauce and the steak!! The waitress took the plate away and "informed the chef" then asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. My partners meal was average to say the least. To add insult we were charged full price for the salty meal and 24 hours later I am still trying to remove the salty taste/burn from the inside of my mouth.

My husband and I went out for our 50th wedding anniversary this evening, and we were both satisfied with the quality of the food, however I was unsatisfied with all of the yelling and verbal abuse coming from the kitchens, regardless of the circumstance, its very unsettling to overhear the manager or boss yell at the staff, I felt rather unsafe and my husband told me to leave a Google review. Good food, but unsafe atmosphere. Might just get take away next time.

Went for dinner with my partner and the place was a shambles. Sat near the pizza counter and saw a lot that was happening. Granted it was busy but they made multiple orders incorrectly including my own. Sam the boss was very aggressive and rude to his staff, 1 in particular who looked like he was new. This staff member was handling the pressure quite well for a new staff member but was getting ordered around by Sam. If I was this new guy I would have told Sam to stick it and walk out. I even overheard Sam and other staff mocking and “bitching” about this new guy behind his back. The man next to us even commented that his wife used to hate coming here because of how aggressive Sam was.The young lady at the counter was also great and handled the busyness very well and with a smile on her face while all other staff were rude. Our pizzas weren’t cooked very well and were very rushed. Won’t be hurrying back here anytime soon.

I called El Toro after the pizza restaurant we initially booked for Sunday 2nd January was closed when we got there. I called at about 6pm just as the evening was getting busy, by 6.30pm our party of 10 were seated and ordering our drinks and meals. The restaurant was very busy and yet they made room for all of us. The staff were very friendly and ensured we were comfortable and ready to take our drinks orders. Within minutes our drinks were served. Within 20 minutes, our meals were served. We ordered a variety of pizza's, mains dishes and chips that all were huge servings, totally delicious and excellent quality especially after considering how busy they were, there was nothing to complain about here! The staff would check on us on regular basis, but not over bearing and Helen; the waitress that showed us to our table and took our orders was exceptional. It was a great night, great atmosphere and we were well taken care of. 5 STARS Thank you El Toro Pizza Restaurant for turning our night from being left swinging in the breeze having nowhere to dine to having delicious food and a memorable evening.
