“ We all, by that I mean my wife, son and I all enjoyed our lunch here today. There was plenty of seating and the service was fast. The chips came out with 2 different salsas one was pretty hot and the other not so much but both had great flavor. Everyone likes their food and cleared their plates. If I am ever in the area again I would consider this a place to stop. Also the lunch menu is everyday from 11 to 3. ”

“ We've been coming here for 15 years. It's our favorite restaurant in St.Matthews because the staff has always been so hospitable; they strive to provide us with a great experience every time we step foot in the back door. The party room in the very back is great for events. We’ve busted a few pinatas over the years!! Delicious salsa, margaritas and fajitas! The restaurant is freshly painted, has new high back private booths and a new menu. Thanks El Torasco and the wonderful servers who keep us coming back weekly! ”
