History

Established in 2005.

The first El Toro Bravo was established in Roswell, New Mexico in 1982. We moved to Florida in 2002. We opened in Sarasota in 2005. We take pride in serving the most fresh and tastiest New Mexican cuisine in the area. Chef Ruben selects the healthiest ingredients to provide tasty and high quality Mexican food. There is no lard in our recipes. We serve romaine lettuce. Our chips are fried in canola oil. The fajitas are sauteed in olive oil creating a fresh taste. When possible, we bring long green Anaheim chiles and red dry chiles from the chile capital of the world HATCH, New Mexico! Our flan is made from scratch using our homemade recipe. Come visit us, "mi casa es su casa"! El Toro Bravo - "where it's love at first bite"!
