Stopped in for a quick bite off the interstate during my travel. I had a great experience with the staff, and the food was excellent. I had the steak fajitas. I will definitely return in the future and highly recommend.

This place was really good. It was quiet other than normal chatter and our server was very nice. The meals were affordable and the restaurant was clean. My daughter did not care for her chicken nuggets, they looked a bit dark colored. The salsa and guacamole were both great. My son is VERY picky and ate a ton of their popcorn shrimp. ???? It did take a while to get cashed out but overall the food and experience was great. Everyone was nice. Most important: THE SWEET TEA IS GOOD. I'm from Arkansas and dang it's hard to get good sweet tea. ????????

Remember as a kid, your mom said don’t swallow your gum because it will get all hung up inside you. I am very worried about the cheese that was in the chili relleno. Before selecting a restaurant, I always scan the reviews and pictures. Especially the pictures. The pictures have more information than most reviews. A fellow Yelp reviewer posted a picture of a live roach that he had dispassionately and callously “Flicked” to the floor. He didn’t describe the outcome on the roach’s wellbeing the after the assault. We can only hope it turned out positively for the roach. I am no entomologist, but in the picture the roach looked like he was healthy and had been well fed. That’s a strong indication that the food is good. Convincing pictorial evidence that got me on the road to Sallisaw. And it was. Thin crisp chips. Great salsa picante. Fast attentive friendly service. The flavor and seasoning of the food were very good. I like a good mole rojo on relleno. El Toro’s hit the spot. My taco and my wife’s enchiladas, beans and rice made up good OkieMex plates of food. Enjoyable except for the cheese filled relleno. The cheese in the relleno was most likely made by Wrigley’s or Goodyear; a stringy, chewy, vulcanized mozzarella on steroids. If a cheese could have gristle this cheese would be the one. Even though the cheese was heated to mouth scorching temperatures it maintained its elasticity and only got stronger as it cooled in my mouth. Chewy and tasteless. It was not Monterey Jack. My recommendation is to pass on the relleno until the restaurant switches to a cheese less chewy than a bungee cord. Or get it filled with meat, WITHOUT cheese. With all that said……I still recommend El Toro! Easy access off I-40. Lots of parking space. A clean, nicely decorated restaurant. For other reviews laced with superfluous, time-wasting inessential information, sarcastic diatribe and subjective opinion, follow Spike S. on Yelp and Spike Speedwell on Google If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my collection "Jalapeno Highway" on Yelp. I've probably been there.
