A nice place to fill your tum tum. Not fancy but they serve delicious food. Very relaxed and good service. Apart from tapas, which are of good sizes, they do more substantial meals, too.

Food was excellent and the staff could not be more accommodating. The chef came over to talk us through the menu and helped us select a range of outstanding dishes. Don’t not hesitate

A gem of a restaurant in the narrow streets of Cádiz. Excellent food (the best pulled pork with cheddar I've ever), big portions, fast service, the staff are super friendly. We left the place feeling so happy and thanking the chefs for such amazing food. A valuable tip: try the flamenquin cordobés casero.

We went to El Toro after football match in Cadiz and we wanted to get fish and/or beef and both was good. It doesn't have some amazing atmosphere around, there are far nicer places in Cadiz, but for the price meals were great, and waitress was very helpful (also communicating a bit in English)
