El Toro Loco Churrascaria 8 ST Restaurant

This used to be a 5 star but a couple of things have changed. First, the prices have skyrocketed since they first opened. It used to be $10 and $15 for the .5 pound and 1 pound special now its $15 and $21. Also the pricing of the special is confusing because its the same price regardless of the meat you choose. I once ordered the special for grilled chicken and was charged $21 where if I would have just gotten the chicken with the 2 sides separately I should have been charged about $11. The food is good but I consider it more of a quick takeout place than a dine in restaurant and they are charging full service restaurant prices.

Also they started forcing you to give your credit card number when ordering over the phone, this should be optional, not mandatory, no other restaurant does this. But the biggest problem is that it is extremely loud in the restaurant and the people taking the order can never hear the credit card number, so it ends up taking forever to place an order.

The temperature of the meat is also wildly inconsistent. I always order medium well and sometimes it is burnt to a crisp, sometimes it is barely medium, and sometimes it is just right, but you never know what you are going to get.

Overall I like this place, good food, good selection, friendly staff, unfortunately they've gone a little backwards with the above since opening. Hopefully they can address those things and be 5 stars again.

Deliciously fun. Looking to please your taste buds and a place to dine out late. This is it! The decor is fun, love the wooden table tops, portions are healthy, no waste or over consumption. Lemonade is made with real lemons and delicious! Friendly and attentive service.

Nice spot! The meat was really good and so were the desserts. It's kinda loud and crowed inside, the place gets packed. They have a huge bull head on the wall that releases air, and it smells very strong after. but overall everything else was good!

This place was smaller than I expected.
Pros:
* Food was pretty good.
* portion was really big.
* price was right
* Staff was super friendly

Cons:
* Does not take reservations over the phone. ( Even for groups of 10)
* That Place was packed.
* We waited for almost an hour for a table. ( they told us about 30 to 35 minutes)

Overall I would come here again but not on weekends.
