Many employees of Delaware Today are deeply loyal customers of El Toro’s authentic, affordable and consistently tasty cuisine. (If you can’t decide what to order, we recommend the Speedy Gomez—a taco and an enchilada, plus rice or beans, for just $6.25!)

While we often enjoy ordering the food for takeout, we’ve also been known to venture to the cozy eatery for lunch. We were delighted to discover that the restaurant recently expanded: Just down the street, diners can enjoy the same delicious food at El Toro Cantina, the former home of The Blue Parrot and The Wicked Vine. The larger restaurant offers a full bar and abundant seating. The hours are Monday through Sunday, 11 a.m.–1 a.m.

El Toro’s original location at 624 Union St. is still open for takeout and delivery.
