Name of Restaurant: El Torero
Location of Restaurant: 634 Ste. Genevieve Dr., Ste. Genevieve, MO
Date of Visit: September 8, 2007
El Torero is located in the building that was once a Taco John’s and before that a Taco Bell. Of the three, El Torero is superior. It’s not that wanna-be Mexican fast food, but some good stuff.
We’ve visited several times though none lately. But every time has been a wonderful visit, including this last time. The waiter was attentive, the food arrived fast and fresh and absolutely delicious.
There’s really not much to say, because I give everything a thumbs up from the food and service to the atmosphere. Not to mention that they keep the kids happy with a kids’ menu that includes cheeseburgers (made my four-year-old very happy, he had been upset we weren’t going to McDonald’s). My only complaint would be that it is hard to choose what to eat because it is all so good! Yes, that’s sappy, but it is what it is. If you’re in the area and hungry for some Mexican food, stop by!

I have had the worst experience I could EVER have at a restaurant at El Torero’s in Ste Genevieve, I am living in St Louis and my family is from Ste Gen, my aunt gave me a gift card to the restaurant for Christmas this year (2010). We had a party of 6 people eating Friday night, January 14th, 2011. 3 out of the 6 people ordered the EXACT same thing and they did not come out the same, my aunt’s meal had hardly any chicken at all, she simply asked to have more chicken..the waitress got the manager(female) and she came over and said that it was 6 ounces, but agreed to give have more made, before she walked away from the table she looked at us and said EVERYTIME this party is in here we have a complaint from you, and walked away, she came back with the meal after they fixed it and looked at my sister and said the samething AGAIN, as an employee of a restaurant in St Louis, I would NEVER in my right mind think about going up to one of my tables and saying that. So, I went up and talked to the other manager, which come to find out is her husband. The never once apologized for anything! To top it all off, there was a roach crawling on the wall behind our table and another roach crawling across the counter where you pay your bill….I WILL NEVER BE BACK. And I would suggest that no one goes there…this isn’t the first time i’ve seen the roaches in there.
