El Toreador
4.2 (543)restaurant
A festive West Portal fixture since 1957, serving home-style Mexican fare alongside house margaritas and over 100 beers.
Description






Meals often start with salsa and a complimentary small bowl of tomato soup accented with a pork crouton. The kitchen focuses on regional Mexican recipes, drawing steady praise for chicken mole, tamales, and green chicken enchiladas. Drinks extend beyond the massive beer list to house sangria and margaritas mixed with Mexican blanco tequila, plus a Beer Club that rewards a completed card with a t-shirt. The menu also accommodates families and plant-based diners with dedicated children's items and vegetarian and vegan options.
