El Toro - Portsmouth

I have visited this restaurant many times and have never been let down. Whenever I have tried other local steakhouse, none of them have compared so I keep coming back here. The service is excellent and the steaks are cooked perfectly to my liking every time, with delicious flavors. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere despite its size. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Southsea.

I made a reservation for New Year's Eve at this amazing steakhouse. The steak and mixed grill were the best we've ever had. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. I highly recommend booking a table at this restaurant.

I can't believe we've been missing out on this amazing restaurant! We visited on Christmas Eve and the service was excellent, the food was incredible. I can't find a single fault with this restaurant. I highly recommend that you visit and experience it for yourself, as you don't want to miss out on this treat.

I rarely leave reviews for anything except when something is exceptional. Last night we are in El Toro for my sons's birthday and overall it was incredible meal out. Our party consisted of 4 adults an 8 year old and 12 year old. From the minute we came through the door the staff were fabulous and couldn't do enough for us. Service was efficient, our glasses were topped up, cutlery changed, table wiped after our main and we were asked a few times if we needed anything. We ordered surf and turf, chicken and steak, mixed grill and steak and lamb and a burger for my daughter. It was all cooked to perfection and tasted AMAZING. The meat was amazing quality, served hot and came with extra sauces that we ordered, peppercorn, garlic and blue cheese. All served with piping hot chips. Every plate was cleared except the lamp bones!!!! We ordered two desserts and my son's came with a birthday candle, lovely touch. On receipt of payment we all got after eights with our receipt. Over all a 10/10. One of the BEST meals I have had in ages. Highly recommended!
