El Toro Langkawi offers a mixed experience in terms of its culinary offerings and ambiance. The food here is generally good, but it leans more towards the Americanized version of Mexican cuisine, resembling US-style Mexican fast food rather than authentic Mexican dishes. This aspect might appeal to some visitors looking for familiar flavors, but it may disappoint those in search of a genuine Mexican culinary experience.
In terms of atmosphere, the live music at El Toro adds to the overall liveliness of the place. However, it doesn't quite hit the mark in enhancing the Mexican theme of the restaurant. The music, while decent, doesn't fully resonate with the Mexican ambiance that one might expect, presenting a slight disconnect in the thematic experience.
Overall, El Toro Langkawi is a good choice for those who enjoy Americanized Mexican food and a vibrant setting, but it may not completely satisfy those seeking authentic Mexican cuisine or a fully thematic Mexican dining experience.

El Toro Combo Platter
We had dinner at El Toro twice during our 5-day stay in Langkawi.
We enjoyed the food as well as it was conveniently located across from our accommodation.
It is a little bit pricier than other restaurants in the area, however, we thought it was worth it.
The service was fast and attentive, hard not to be as we were the only patrons during the times (around 9-10pm) we were there. We recommend the tables on the terrace for a view of the action of the main street.
Our waiter was super friendly and we felt very welcome. He even complimented my boyfriend's hair.😂

The restaurant has a nice vibe to it with the decor and live music. The food is also good and given the location has a very international flavour. The service is quick and staff is also very friendly, but the food is a bit expensive. Overall a good restaurant if you are looking for some mexican food along with a lively atmosphere.

Tacos Set of 3
Food came rather quickly and was delicious.
Price wise it is on the more expensive side, for a Malaysian. But it’s a holiday trip, so no complaint from me.
Singer is good with mostly classic oldies

Came here with my colleagues for dinner. When we walked in, there were multiple tables located inside the premise, with the outdoor area being full. We waited for awhile and went to the bartender, to which he said the place was full - was taken aback.
However, the server walked over and saw us, and said we could sit indoor instead of outdoor, which was fine for us - he was generally friendly.
Food wise, the portions were huge, we ordered the loaded fries and their Mexican sampler. Taste wise was alright, but portions were big. It's good value for money.
If you are with family this place is worth a stop for a sharing plate.

Chilli Con Carne
Had the tamales - was tasty but parts of it was hard to the bite. Would be better if they change up the salad as didn’t feel it went with the tamales.
