Pretty lacklustre if I’m honest halloumi portion is tiny really tiny. Chorizo in cider sausage was cold and tasteless . Real shame

We had 3 delicious dishes each which filled us up. The dishes were large and satisfying. The rice with pork chicken and white wine, chickpeas and vegetables, lamb stew and chorizo, egg and potato were particular standouts. Service was fast and polite and for 4 if us who had 3 dishes each, a glass of Sangria, a non alcoholic beer, coke and table water, the bill came to just over £20 each which for the size, quality, variety and authenticity of the dishes, I felt was excellent value.

Heard good things and despite being from notts area, travelled with a friend to try out the all you can eat tapas at £24.95, you can pick three dishes each to start, from an extensive menu, then two dishes each then one and keep ordering one each until you’re full. Drinks and puddings aren’t included but are reasonably priced. We ate a range of dishes such as chicken, beef, hallumi, spring rolls, meat balls, pasta, aubergine, potatoes and all were hot, tasty and freshly cooked The staff were polite, chatty and helpful - the street also had several other restaurants that looked worth a visit and so no doubt we will be back to the area.

I'd had a hard day working in Hull and was driving to Stoke on Trent. My journey took me past Doncaster. I headed to El Torero. It was every bit as welcoming as I remembered. The food was amazing. I just sat there, enjoying the tapas, the music and the friendliness of this lovely restaurant. Thank you once again, you are wonderful.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the meal my friends and I had on Wednesday evening. We were the group that showed up. We all enjoyed the plates that we were served. Cooked well, served in good time and hot too. The pricing was easy to understand, the way the menu was laid out for vegan/vegetarian, fish and meat options made it easy to select the different plates and especially liked that you wasn't put in a position to waste good, tasty food. hen we return to Doncaster again, we hope to come by again for some more amazing food!

I’d give the food and drink a 3.5/ 10. Bland, over cooked and tiny portions, even for tapas. £25 each for food, and £18.95 for a jug of sangria, mostly ice. Over priced, tasteless, will not go again. Staff were pleasant enough, restaurant empty on a Saturday, lacked atmosphere. Used to be amazing under ‘El Toro’ management, since it changed to ‘El Toreo’ it’s just gone more down hill every time we’ve been.

We visited here for lunch, and had the all you can eat menu for £16. There’s a great choice of dishes, more than any tapas restaurant I’ve been to before. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the service was quick. The food was amazing, we didn’t go crazy and had 10 dishes between the two of us, which was just enough for lunch. You can have more if you want it, but for lunch that was enough for us. It was fairly quiet, which is understandable for a Wednesday at 1pm. They really deserve to have more people in with such a good menu and bargain price.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime and had the all you can eat tapas menu at £16 ish per person. Greeted by pleasant and polite staff, we were the only customers at the time, drinks order taken, and we were served with complimentary bread and aioli. Fantastic choice on the menu, and after a short time we were served with our first dishes. Good portion size, hot and delicious. For me, the chuletas were too charred, but we really enjoyed the rest. We would recommend this restaurant and hope to visit again soon.

Been going here for a few years now and it’s normally decent food. Ordered chicken skewers and they came out still clucking it was that raw. The guy sat a few tables away then cut into his and it was the same.Manager came over and basically said it happens occasionally. Nice one pal, I’ll spend the next few days on the bog because you think serving raw chicken is fine!!!Manager who claims he’s not the owner but clearly is, he’s the most aggressive man I’ve ever encountered and has zero customer service skills. His staff are clearly scared of him which was extremely concerning for us as customers, I won’t repeat what one member of staff said about him but I felt genuinely worried.This place is slowly going downhill because the “manager” is a bell end. He was losing customers because he was so busy shouting at me for his kitchen staff’s mistake but he didn’t care.

We visited El Torero on a Sunday night. When we arrived at 8.45pm we were told that the kitchen would close at 10 so we could only choose 5 tapas dishes each from the all you can eat menu (£16) but the cost would still be the same! We were hungry so we decided to stay and try it. Unfortunately the first dish, Paella, was some sort of left over from earlier and had to be sent back. All in all the food was average at best and we felt rushed.

Booked here for the eat out to help out scheme (2weeks in advance) when booked explained that my son had a milk allergy and checked they could cater for him. They agreed they could and there is lots of tapas that is milk free.Turned up on the night... and the manager told us he doesn’t serve allergies due to kitchen size. He was very abrupt with his speaking and told his he refuses to serve my one year old. I explained that I had spoken to someone and he still refused to feed him saying it’s policy and pointing at his menu. After checking the menu it states they can cater for allergies but this isn’t happening. We was then left trying to find somewhere to eat! Avoid if you have an allergy!

Given that it was Bank Holiday we let a few things slide but after 20mins of not getting our drinks an seeing the party after us get served first we weren't exactly pleased. But ya know the little things. Food came before our drinks. Very bland we left the first dishes.We drank more than we ate haha Gave 2 stars because the lamb & prawns tasted great. Halloumi tasted store bought aswell as the ice cream. When we said something we were offered a free round of drinks. Great except they were flat.Recommended by a friend, place has potential just sad about the food.

Went to El torero again after having an amazing meal there last week with family. I took a friend who is gluten free and the staff didn’t understand what that meant despite stating on their menu that they cater especially for gluten free. The service was slow compared to other tables, our meals didn’t come at the same time so we had to wait for our food to go cold to eat together. The restaurant wasn’t even busy so I don’t understand why this happened. The bill was wrongly charged £30 under and when we were honest to tell them they didn’t thank us. Very disappointed after having a nice meal here before and how badly they served a coeliac customer.

Service at this restaurant was brilliant. I had to call multiple times to amend the booking and felt a right pain! However nothing was too much trouble. I really appreciated the call earlier in the day to confirm my booking details were all correct for later. The staff were amazing and I loved how they made an effort to pronounce the dishes properly and authentically (as a Spanish speaker I was very impressed!) We were a party of 10 to celebrate a birthday, needless to say the table got very loud! The staff were very lighthearted and didn’t mind, despite this probably making their order-taking more difficult! I love how the food was fresh to order. Everything was tasty, hot etc. Our only one disappointment was we asked to order more but they never came. Then when we followed it up and asked again we were told we couldn’t order any more as they needed the table back (fair enough) but then when asked if we could order desserts (of which are an added cost not included in the tapas price) this was ok?! All the food was great apart from the crema catalana we paid extra for. This was really disappointing and not authentic at all sadly. Highlights for the food across the table were the lamb chops, garlic prawns and creamy chicken. Non-alcoholic sangria was a nice alternative to a Coca Cola too! Great value for money and friendly staff, will definitely be back for my tapas fix.

El Torero offers an all you can eat tapas buffet however there are rules. On your first round you can order 3 dishes per person then 2 on your second round and from then on only one dish at a time, this means you cant fill the table with loads of dishes which you don't finish. The food is tasty and well prepared with a good choice of meat, seafood and vegetable options. Srvice was friendly but patchy as we were sat outside we were waiting for a long time and a drink we ordered never appeared but we were charged for it.

Booked a table for 7.15pm arrived early so ordered a drink at the bar we got taken to our table and given the menu.20 minutes later someone returned to take our order.60 minutes had passed before any food appeared at the table.Yes I get it was busy but it shouldn’t take that long to serve a table of six. When the food started coming the waitresses were bringing one dish at a time instead of bring a tray each to speed up the already very slow service.The food looked rushed and not presented to the standard we have had in the past.I do think the restaurant was over booked with peopleand to be honest no social distances were taking place as it was that full.A very nice young lad kept apologising for the wait but to be honest I was happy to get the bill and come home.I did say thanks to some of the staff that actually worked very hard but alot of training is needed for this restaurant to get better.Starting with front of house as the manager seemed very incompetent and seemed to enjoy blaming others for his incompetence.I asked 7 times for a pint of water as I was cramping up in the very hot restaurant and ended up going to the bar and getting served.Like I say There was some good points Like the lovely lady behind the bar who worked her socks off and the young lad taking orders.This has been very hard for me to write this as I love this Restraunt but it does need a shake up.

This was the first time in over a year that we had visited and we weren't disappointed. The tapas menu is even bigger than before and the dishes on offer were great. All of our dishes we ordered were delicious with only the liver being slightly disappointing as it was very tough and had clearly been overcooked. I also understand the 3 dishes, then 2 dishes then 1 dish to ensure no food wastage but we felt like we could've eaten another 4 dishes between myself and my partner but were told we could only order 1 more each on our next order. We had to wait a while to order our next dish each so couldn't be bothered to wait around to order another dish each after finishing. However this hasn't tainted our experience and we will definitely be visiting again.

Just a quick word on parking, there is some round the back behind the Mecca bingo hall that is pay and display. The NCP one next door to Relish is quite expensive if during daytime.But don't let that spoil fantastic food at this restaurant.

The food is sensational and always fresh and hot. For your £16.95 it is good value for money. However I take issue with the false advertising. El Torero promises all you can eat but fails to deliver...literally.You'll get your first 3 tiny portions pronto, then a longer wait for next 2 and even longer again for any after that. If you ask for more you get a sarcastic "You want to order again?". The only way I could conceive to get any more food was by other members of my party (who had finished) ordering dishes on my behalf. The staff are not daft however as "round 4" never arrived.The management have a diliberate tactic if you are a big eater which is to slow down the service. I appreciate they would make a loss if all their customers were like me... but this simply is not the case. The middle aged woman on the next table orderd one meat dish and a rice dish because she was on slimming world but still wanted to come on works Christmas do.El Torero are rubbing their hands together when they make huge a profit on these customers but unhappy to make a loss on the bigger eaters.Come on El Torero. Work out what your average customer eats, add your profit margin on and charge that. I would sooner pay £26.95 and genuinly have all I could eat. Much better than £16.95 for all you'll bring me. It's the principle. Unless its truly all you can eat THEN DONT SAY IT IS.If you like a "good meal" you wont enjoy El Torero.

The tapas is really tasty. We have visited a couple of times, and I don't think there's a dish I've really not liked. Nice to have a good vegetarian choice. Great value now that it is all you can eat.

A buffet style tapas so expectations weren’t high but actually hit the mark with Spanish flavours and textures. I would come again.

The service was appalling, we waited a long time to get our food, we were given the wrong dishes and the man taking the orders told us that if we weren’t happy too bad. The one star I’ve given is for the food. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

We absolutely love this place the food is just amazing and we highly recommend it even if you’ve not had tapas before! This time we managed 6 dishes each and left stuffed! For £16.95 a person it is more than value for money!

If you live in the area or just visiting Doncaster you have to visit El Torero . The food is absolutely amazing and there’s a great variety of cocktails. I had the el torero ice tea! It was delicious. The food was so tasty and exceeded our expectations . Attila ,aka Leo the waiter , was so helpful and kind and made us feel like at home.

If you want amazing food and fantastic service, then take time out to visit El Torero. Myself and three friends called in one Saturday afternoon after drinks and were all served amazing tapas with top class service. Leo was attentive and courteous, the food and drinks were amazing.

Having been on many occasions, this place never fails to deliver. The staff are lovely and attentive and the food is by far the best Tapas I have had in Doncaster. I have visited others previously but this is now my go to place. Very reasonable prices between the al a carte menu or the all you can eat menu considering the quality of the food served. If you want Tapas and you haven’t tried this place, make it your next visit. You won’t be disappointed.

A rainy night in Doncaster did not seem promising but the staff and the food here made the evening quite magical. The variety of Tapas style dishes available and the reasonable prices combined to more than make up for the dismal weather

After originally booking online, we saw a disclaimer stating any waste would incur an extra charge, as neither myself nor my girlfriend had tried tapas before we decided to cancel, I phoned up and spoke to a really nice gentleman called Leo, who assured me that as it was our first time not to worry about any extra charge and he would be working that night and give recommendations on what to try so i decided to keep the booking, this was a mistake. Upon arrival we were met by a man called Ren, he was arrogant and not very welcoming straight from the start. When I mentioned about the extra charge if we didn't like something his response was "well we accept no waste" to which we replied “we have spoken to the manager and he said as it was our first time there would be no charge” Ren then grumbled something and walked away. We ordered two drinks, and then the first three dishes, while we were waiting we watched the barman make a cocktail drink for a customer then stand behind the bar and drink the remainder of what was made, with Ren. First 4 dishes came out, one of which was clearly cooked from frozen and not fresh like they say however, the food was still nice.

Very nice food. Some dishes were a bit bland or a bit chewy like the chicken and pork skewers however all the other dishes we had were really nice and filling. One negative was there was a very large table with about 15 odd people. We got 3 dishes between 6 of us and then for some reason, the larger table then got their dishes so we were waiting for the rest of ours whilst 2 of us were eating. Wasn’t really organised well. After this though, service was great. We will return and would recommend it.

Fantastic meal experience at this restaurant. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The dining area was nicely laid out. Food were nicely presented, tasty and plentiful. We had the all you can eat buffet. With a choice of 38 dishes to choose from, it was near impossible not to satisfy most palates. Each Tapas was tasty, steaming hot and attractively presented.

So we went here for Sunday afternoon dinner. We arrived to a near empty restaurant which I was happy with as it makes it easier to get food and drink. There was a small table with a family and a big group of friends on another table. We saw the menu and was happy with the variety and picked what we wanted to order. Lots to choose from and all cooked fresh to order. The waiting started after we ordered drinks! We looked over the menu and put it down which I thought indicated to anyone we was ready to order. We was in there 25 mins before this happened n only coz we asked! So another 15/20min wait for food which is fine as it's fresh! We got it all hot n mostly together all very nice. Then the waiting started again! N we waited! N waited. Mostly because someone turned up they all knew so one went outside to talk alot to them! And them the other stood at the bar looking at our table empty plates and sat waiting to walk away again. The main sever was doing much of the same. Taking care of the big table mostly but looking n watching us wait to order again. I know them all u can eat places want u to be full n not eat lost but 20 odd mins of waiting again was a joke. Again! We had to shout to get some food n service. The girl outside with her mates seemed happy not doing much n the other 2 was more than happy to help another table but us! At one point a child dropped a dish n the main guy was all over it. Made me think about throwing some stuff around to get some descent service! In the end I could not be bothered to wait no more so I got up knowing waiting at my table was a bad Idea I asked him face to face for the bill. Another 15 mins after we was given to bill we got to pay n leave thank god! So to sum up! Food is nice place is nice but the service is terrible.

Couldn’t get a table at our usual fave Tapas restaurant which I have reviewed before so we thought we’d give this one a try. Seemed a bit quiet at first and we wondered why but it gradually filled up and it was a Sunday evening after all. Could not fault it. The food was superb and the service was great too. Price ended up being a bit cheaper than we usually pay too. This restaurant does unlimited buffet style every night as well so The only criticism I can make is that the credit card machine does not get good signal and would not accept my card - credit card anxiety again.... - ironic that it was 3 years to the day I was in Cuba experiencing just the same thing!!! Must be my luck! Had to go and draw money out from the hole in the wall down the road - not really their fault though can’t be helped I guess!

I have been to this restaurant before, several times before it changed its name, hence I went there this time. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I am aware of what tapas is and how it works as I have it on a regular basis, but this was a joke. I ordered a chorizo, and I got THREE slices of sausage. I do not expect for it to be filled up to the rim, but three slices is silly. Also got one of my other orders mixed up which I understand can happen and this didn't bother me. Everyone on my table said exactly the same!

this was a first as ive tried the Fiesta in Armthorpe several times which always is a winner. this we found that the food was bliss, the food was freah, hot, and full of lovely flavors which were delightful, the service was ok, the waiting time was ok, the atmosphere was a little lacking as on the night even tho it was a Saturday was very quiet.

Staff so friendly brilliant bunch. Food is fantastic plus bring your own alcohol means lower price bills at the end of the evening. All round good restaurant
