El Toro Loco

Stumbled upon this while wandering through and was curious what they meant by Peruvian Coastal. Menu drew us in with bartered fish chunks with an amazing dipping sauce. Grilled fish tacos were a hit with the littler one. Nice spot to hit if you're in the area. Will definitely come back.

Ordered takeout from this restaurant on a weekend. My order:
- veggie burrito: 3/5
- veggie tacos: 3/5
Both burritos and tacos had a lot of veggies (like broccoli) in it. So, it's definitely not like traditional Mexican food. I found both items on the bland side (although it can be considered healthier because of all the veggies in it).
Overall, I think I'm more into traditional Mexican food so this place isn't the right fit for me.

This place hits the spot. They used to be a smaller location just a few storefronts away from this current location. They expanded and are much larger to fit all the hungry customers. Loving the new location and the food is just as good as it was at their OG location. The staff, especially the owner, are friendly and inviting. Very nice and kind neighborhood folks. Portions are decent. We got the pescado frito appetizer, steak and tallarin, lomo saltado, and carne y camarones burrito. Love that you can get both Mexican and Peruvian dishes. Que Rico!!!

Came here early on a Saturday evening and were warmly welcomed. Service was efficient and friendly, and the food was outstanding -- far beyond expectations for such a modest looking restaurant. I had the Arroz con Mariscos, and it was spectacular and beautifully presented. My husband had the Lomo Saltado, which was also excellent. All for a reasonable price. We live in the North Bay but will definitely return to this place next time we are down in the Pacifica area.

Yum! Stopped for a quick bite to eat after spending some time at Pacifica beaches and was surprised how good and affordable the food was! The menu has a wide variety of both traditional Mexican and Peruvian food with vegetarian options! The owner was charming telling us that he has been running this hidden gem for over 30 years - there is something to be said for long standing local choices!

Came by to get a burrito at their old location 5 years back and decided to come back, didn't know they moved but it is a block down and has a small parking lot.
I ordered the ceviche and camarones a la diabla, let me tell youuu both was so good, I was drinking the ceviche juice with each bite. And mixed the rice with all the diabla sauce together. So good so good.

Just a bit pricey $40 meal for one person
And I was expecting more than 5-6 shrimps.. but that's ok, I will definitely be back to try the other dishes

Came for a weekend lunch, and we were kindly greeted by the servers and seated right away.

It wasn't busy for a weekend afternoon, but that's fine by us. We asked for recommendations, and we ordered the loma saltado and the seafood a lo macho dishes. Haven't had the latter, and it was a surprisingly delicious dish. The loma saltado meat was cooked well done and a bit tough to eat but still ok. The food came quickly and hot.

The ambiance is a typical mom and pop shop. Nothing too special about the ambiance or decor. The parking lot out front makes it easy to come here too. The bill was about $54 w/o tip and was well worth it for beef and seafood plates. We'd like to come back next time we have a craving for Peruvian. This place is WAAAAY better than the Puerto something restaurant by the Pacifica State Beach (long wait times, poor service, and overpriced foods). Come here instead.

Really good food and ambiance. Their enchiladas (even though they aren't on the menu, they'll still make them) are SO good, and so is the lomo saltado. Everything we've had there is really good.

I always want to come to this place to try it out, finally today is the day. We ordered Empanadas and Lomo Saltado, both are very good and delicious. I will definitely come back if I am in the area, highly recommend.

Last minute cancellation of plans lead us to this GEM. Walked in on a Friday night to a two piece band. Great Selection of Peruvian and Mexican food. Meat and shellfish in abundance. Some had simple burritos, tacos and nachos, which were Very Tasty. Others had Steaks with salad and Shrimp dishes. All were wonderfully flavored. Service was friendly and quick. Everyone left full and satisfied. The price was reasonable. Great find!!
