El Toro in North Kesteven

Great spot for fantastic authentic Spanish tapas! The food was really tasty made with quality ingredients. Nikki and her team provided top class service. Long story short my wife cannot eat certain foods due to IBS. Nikki was able to tweak many dishes so that my wife could enjoy the meal. Both my wife and I throughly enjoyed the food, took us back to Spain! The Gambas Pil Pil is a must 👌🏽 as are the cocktails! The setting is also nicely decorated with good music playing, no doubt a great atmosphere later on in the evening.

I wandered back in after a quite dreary meeting about town planning (and to be fair after about 3 years) and well... Not a lot has changed. The staff are all wonderful, the cocktails are as they should be and then there's the food. I went with 3 plates of tapas because Thursday and I was blown away. The blue-cheese potatoes were spot on, the pork skewers were spiced but not spicy (and oh so tender) but the anchovies. Oh lordy the anchovies. I think that I have a new favourite food. Thankyou.

Great tapas bar had the Thursday special offer of 3 tapas and drink £19.95 fantastic value for money and wonderful food highly recommended

Very good. Must see to experience. Authentic and professional. Friendly staff and cracking atmosphere

We were invited to a party about an hours drive from home so we stayed overnight in a BfB. Looking for pre dinner cocktails online we discovered this gem. Upon closer inspection of their website we decided to eat there as well **Good Choice** We booked a table by email and said we would have cocktails first. Upon arriving( it’s right in centre of town) we were welcomed with a friendly smile. After being shown to some lovely leather Chesterfields we ordered cocktails. They were very very good. No rush to move us to our dining table thankfully. We do like to take our pre dinner drinks before going to dining room. So 5 stars to them then. Tapas was excellent. We then went to our party very pleased with our find. Later towards the end of the evening we fancied a nightcap so returned to El Toro. Again we we’re welcomed and a few of the staff remembered us from earlier that evening. Nightcaps downed we called it a day. One of the best establishments we’ve been to. Just a shame for us it’s an hours drive away. It’s often said that it’s the little things that are important. Well I have to say for us the friendliness of the welcome the staff gave us and the service they provided were excellent and not little things to us May be little to some but important to us and they did not disappoint. Well done Team El Toro.

Had a valentines meal at El Toro this evening. Amazing food. Great cocktails and service was fast and efficient. Will definitely be back soon.

Food out of this world. Tasty, fantastic variety. The olives were amazing. Cocktails were brilliant. Tapas dishes fantastic. We left there feeling stuffed and contented. Great value for money. Will deffo be back!❤️❤️

The best food I've had in ages. Everything was sensational!! We had sangria, bread, olives, meatballs, prawns and pork skewers.

First time here at El toro and will certainly be coming back. The food was delicious, couldnt fault it and the portions were very good. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. As it was a lovely evening we sat outside. The furniture is not very comfortable just wooden tables and chairs. Think this should be updated as there is no inside DOWN STAIRS eating, the restaurant is up stairs so no good for anyone like me who can't manage stairs, this should be told if you ring to book a table , we weren't so was lucky it wasn't busy and we could sit outside. Plenty of outside umbrellas and heaters though so more comfortable seating would be great. Would love to take visitor's there so could only go if the weather is OK, also its only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday .

I cannot recommend el toro enough! the food and cocktails are amazing i’ve lost count the amount of times i’ve been and not once had a bad experience. Staff are friendly and overall just a lovely atmosphere. Such a lovely restaurant to have in Sleaford. Highly recommend!

I have eaten at el torro many many times, Atleast 50+ times since they have been open, and every single time I have been, the food has been amazing! The service is always great, and food is always served in a reasonable time. They have a great variety of food and everything is so tasty!! I took quite a large party there for my birthday this time.. We had the tapas buffet, we were given a good selection of food and there was something for everyone, the amount of food we got was plentiful ranging from bread/meat/olive starter, to several varieties of meats, vegetables, potatoes, ect for mains. There was an issue with one of the chicken dishes, however as soon as staff were made aware, they couldn’t apologise enough, and quickly rectified this with an alternative dish, and some free drinks. No where is perfect all the time, and I believe that it’s the way they deal with a problem that matters, and el torro dealt with the issue perfectly. El torro still remains one of my favourite places to eat, and I would recommend to anyone thinking of trying them!

Everyone in our party except one opted for the £18.99 tapas meal. I realise prices have increased but what we received was not worth the money. The bread, olives, dipping sauce and meat was the best thing we received. We had to return the Chicken in sauce dish as the chicken was not fully cooked. Instead we received a chicken skewer each after waiting another half an hour. We also received some chicken wings, sliced belly pork complete with string, vegetables. Meatballs were reluctantly provided as they had been specifically requested at the start. We were given white or black sambuca as a ‘discount’ but no thought for the drivers in the party. The result of this fiasco is that it’s spoilt the Birthday of one of their regular customers On the positive side, the serving staff were pleasant and polite. The downside of this was the cost was not reflected in the food. I could not recommend this place to anyone

2 stars for an amazing place, unfortunately when 7 of us decided on Drinkies on Saturday evening after eating elsewhere, they couldn't cope with the amount of customers waiting to be served, which was surprising considering it wasn't over busy. We were welcomed & told our order would be taken shortly, after 20min Mrs.B's son went up to the bar & ordered, tap water for 2 soon turned up, but my pint plus 4 Cocktails took over half an hour to be served, the plan was to have another round, but it was now past our bed time so we drank up & left. Pity as the place did look good, but with service like this we will not return.

Table for four people booked for 7:30. By 9:20 all we had received was bread.!!!! There was a large table of about 16 people already in the restaurant when we arrived who had already ordered but even with this considered the wait was unacceptable. Food was OK but night was spoilt before it eventually arrived. Would not recommend again.

What a surprise to walk into my kitchen to find the staff of el toro and all their amazing food ! An amazing night with my amazing friends ! So much delicious food to chose from ! What a fantastic idea for you to come and cater at home to take the stress off us and we could enjoy the night ! Which I know we all did ! I know we will be asking you guys again to come and host a summer party ! Thankyou to you both for the hard work that went into the prep ! I know it was a long day for you guys but you were fab !

Absolutely amazing!!!!! We come to Sleaford x3 a year to visit my fiancés dad and stepmum and we always always ask to come here for dinner. AMAZING food! The honey chorizo is to die for!!!!! Cocktails are fab too. No negative comments about this place…...

First time visiting this restaurant, great service excellent food great choice on the menu great atmosphere. Would certainly come again.

It was not very busy but we were left sitting with dirty plates for over 45mins. On asking for a latte coffee, the waitress said we only have normal coffee out of a kettle and It seemed like she didn’t really want to spend time...

OMG what can I say. I'm GF and there was nothing on the menu I couldn't have except the Churros for desert but they did have ice-cream so still had an option. I cam honestly say this is the 1st place I've been too where...

We had a superb family meal served by very helpful staff. The food was amazing and plentiful, washed down with a good selection of beers. Thanks to all at El Toro for a great night

Really enjoyed the tapas, one of the best we’ve tried. My personal favourites were the calamares and gambas al pil pil. We’ll be back to try the steak night on a Friday. Love that you can eat inside or outside. Very spacious and friendly staff.

Food was alright, service was polite, but we been shocked with such small portion sizes. Left hungry.

Food was great, felt like I was back in Spain for short moment, fantastic cocktails and great staff. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

Super service, attentive and welcoming. Sitting outside just made me think of the great places in Spain. Cruzcampo and Alhambra ( you know what I mean) beautiful tapas, super desserts, the staff couldn’t do more. All round brilliant evening

Limited menu available, food was warm , not hot.... and over cooked suspect it had been made some hrs earlier and sat under a hot plate, Trying to get the attention of the numerous staff stood chatting to each other was impossible with out leaving...

Fantastic food and friendly staff. I’m Spanish and I really appreciate to have a restaurant like this close to me . The owners, the staff, the service... all perfect . I normally go with my family and the atmosphere is great .

Fantastic family venue for food and drinks, wonderful place to have as a local restaurant/ casual bar love coming here

Very quirky, unique place! Best place in Sleaford by far. The tapas is lovely very authentic and just makes you feel like your in Spain, the patatas blue cheese is to die for! The cocktails are so fresh and tasty! Definitely will be back.

I visited for the first time on Saturday afternoon with my family and had a wonderful time. Felt very safe and staff were friendly. We had a sharing platter with meats and bread to start which was lovely and wonderful tapas, would definitely recommend the...

Been meaning to come here for ages and finally went last night. Fantastic friendly staff, very covid savvy in these trying times and felt totally safe and relaxed. The food is amazing, between the 3 of us we had 11 different dishes all of which...

I lived in Andalucia for 12yrs so I'm always a bit dubious about eating in Tapas bars in the UK, they never seem to match up...But not here.They've put their own little twist to Tapas and it works...So tasty.We had five different dishes and they were stunning...The best Tapas I've ever had.We ate inside, the decor is lovely.It was midweek but still a great vibe.All Covid protocols were followed and we felt safe.The staff were welcoming and attentive.I would high recommend!

Some friends recommended us this restaurant long time ago, and we decided to go last Friday.I, being Spanish, was really looking forward to try some homemade food... And they delivered!Even the alioli was homemade!!!We loved everything we ate. I specially like the patatas bravas a bit more spicy, but I am sure if I would have mentioned it they would have done it for us.I absolutely loved the berenjenas con miel - they were like my mum's!The tabla para compartir with chorizo, caña de lomo, jamón... was 10/10.Honestly, food was gorgeous. The place is fantastic. The decoration is superb and the staff is great!They are really friendly and make you feel really welcome.Maybe a bit of a wider selection of Spanish beers would have been nice. But honestly, there is nothing to be faulted - that's just me again.We drove quite a bit to visit it but we'll definitely be back.¡¡Gracias!!

This place is a right gem! I have been here a few times now and the food is just deeeeeelish! It's definitely up there as one of my favourite places to eat! Cherry bakewell cocktail is a firm favourite I don't visit without having one!

Had a few cocktails and beers for our daughters birthday. Staff we lovely and attentive. We didn’t eat this time but the food looked and smelt lovely. Next time we will try it.

Lovely authentic Spanish Tapas meal with friends. The menu had a great selection (meat/fish/veggie) of dishes that were all tasty and well cooked. 2 of our party were vegetarian and the chef made sure we all had plenty to eat. Cocktail menu extensive and the ones we had packed a punch. Staff very attentive and looked after us well.

Booked as a group of 8. We had excellent service and fantastic food. The buffet gives a varied selection and is waitress service. Cured meats, olives, prawns, calamari, paella, meatballs, mixed kebabs, potatoes. All beautiful fresh and full of flavour. The drinks were table service, we had a few different gins as well as cocktails, and the staff made some bespoke drinks for us. Fantastic night all round. We’ll definitely go again.

Impromptu early evening meal - accommodated by call back due to a cancellation after initially being told they were full. Thank you for taking the trouble to get back to us.Rick, Nicky and team all very welcoming and great friendly service.Excellent cocktails ;-)Will visit again.

Ordered 3 tapas each meal for £15pp. We had a lovely bread with aceite and balsamic dip as a starter, came with olives, very hearty portion.Mains came, as I said 6 portions between 2, plenty to eat and a great selection of Spanish food. Well presented, good sized portions and extremely tasty. Will definitely be back again. Oh and the cocktails exquisite.

I recently went for Tapas in Boston and it was amazing, so my son and I decided to try here for Tapas, as he hadnt had it before. It was expensive compared to the boston restaurant and the food was terrible in comparison. It was greasy, salty and in parts burnt, my son couldn't finish (or even properly start) his meal and is now convinced he doesnt like Tapas. I was also disappointed that the olives were from a jar, the sort you get soaked in brine, rather than fresh, I've never had that in a restaurant before, I could have bought a few jars for the price of them too.Very disappointed, I can understand why we were the only people in the restaurant now.

Visited El Toro Tapas last night and were so impressed with the food! The selection of dishes on offer is incredible, and tastes so authentic. With the music and the atmosphere of the restaurant, it literally feels like you are instantly transported from Lincolnshire to Spain! The honey chorizo is highly recommended! Along with the tasty cocktails - thankyou El Toro for such a great night !

A revelation. Two weekends after we visited San Sebastian, which is famous for having Spain's best tapas, we fancied Spanish again. The food here is as good as anything we tried in San Sebastian. Everything delicious. Could not recommend it more - certainly as good as Ole Ole in Lincoln if not better.

A good and wide selection of dishes are available with 3 tapas for £15 the prices are reasonable. There were four of us so we tried a dozen different dishes which ranged from outstanding (artichoke hearts) to decent (albondigas). With a second visit I'm sure we could jiggle our order for an even better experience. There is a varied drinks and cocktail menu to boot. Service was steady but friendly so we will definitely be back.

Visited El Toro on Saturday night with my son who has been several times and it didn't dissapoint. very relaxing atmosphere with friendly and informative staff, ffod was excellent and very varied. Would definitely return for another fine night

We visited last night for the first time with some friends. The staff were all wonderful, friendly and attentive. This along with the massive lists of cocktails made for a lovely evening and atmosphere.

The berry mocktail was amazing. I would highly reccommend going here. The bread and olives were delicious. I then ate the chorizo which was the best! The music was brilliant too. The girl that brought our food out was lovely and the manager was really friendly to me. I cant wait to go again it was such a good night. From Sophie age 8.

We were out on Saturday for tapas , second time in a week , excellent, great food great service, would recommend this place to everyone, wonderful evening,

This was my 3rd visit to El Toro, this occasion for a Work's Do for 27 of us. A buffet was provided with a fantastic selection of tapas, and so much food we couldn't eat it all. The food was amazing, as usual, even catering for gluten free and vegetarians in our party.

Visited with friends and had a super night. Lovely atmosphere with good food. Staff very friendly and efficient.

It was such a lovely night of great food and great drinks! The staff couldn’t do anymore for you, we were well looked after. It was such a lovely atmosphere and busy.

My husband and I visited El Toro with friends for the first time on Saturday night we have never tried tapas dishes before and was recommended by a friend to go try this lovely place in Sleaford as we are from Lincoln we thought it be nice to try some thing and some where we haven't been before. WOW it was delicious we was fed like kings with so many dishes I had never tried before there wasn't one thing I didn't like and the staff was lovely they was hands on all night it was like you had your own waitress which was lovely and even spoke to the manager and his wife which they was very welcoming it is a lovely family run business and the place was lovely decorated we had a lovely window seat over looking the market square the whole night was fantastic. It also has a great cocktail bar with a fantastic list of cocktails I tried quite a few that night and the one I enjoyed the most was one called Cherry Bakewell it was like a pudding in a glass it was fantastic I had 2 LOL, but to be fair all the drinks were freshly made with fresh fruit which mad them taste great. We would HIGHLY RECOMEND this place and we will defiantly be returning as we had a fantastic time and its defiantly a 10/10 from us X

My husband and I visited El Toro on a date night and my goodness, we were not let down! It is great to have another amazing restaurant in Sleaford but this one certainly has ‘the edge’ over our usual haunts! The decor is fab and you spend time looking at all the various elements cleverly put together! The menu is pretty authentic and offers a good range of charcuterie. The cocktail menu is wide and varied and they serve authentic Spanish wines (although considerably more expensive than in Spain :-))

Absolutely fantastic food, I have absolutely no criticism at all. Coming from a Spanish background I am very particular on tapas dishes but every single dish that we tried was perfect. The staff was lovely and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner and chef and his daughter and it was so refreshing to meet such friendly people so passionate about the food. We drove for almost an hour to eat here tonight but are already planning our next visit.

We visited El Toro for the first time last night and had a great evening. The service was great and the food delicious. The menu has a wide variety of tasty tapas dishes-I think the honey chorizo was my favourite. The owners have clearly put a lot of time and effort into creating a fantastic restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, helped by great background music. The staff are all helpful and attentive and none of them were scruffy. Thanks for an enjoyable evening and we look forward to our next visit.

Delicious food which was plentiful and really well presented.

My friend took charge of our monthly meal venue tonight ans I was pleasantly surprised by El Toro...not accessible to wheelchair users as it is up a flight of stairs (banister rails are on both sides and there is a landing to rest on if needed).

I eat a lot of tapas having a house in Spain , we visited very early on a Friday evening there were very few people in the restaurant

We held our Daughter’s 21st Birthday Party in The Prohibition Lounge last Saturday. The whole evening was fabulous - amazing food (& lots of it!), excellent staff, and a perfect venue. Massive thank you to Rick, Nikki and all of the El Toro team for making Izzy’s night so wonderful xxx

Came here last night with some friends who recommended El Toro and we definitely weren’t disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and great, friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious and we’ll definitely be coming back soon!

We dined at El Toro for the first time last week. We eat a lot of Tapas (having a home in Spain) and these were some of the best Ive tasted - very authentic.

We called in last Friday, at 7 pm , we asked a local upon getting out our car in the market place which restaurants are nice, she pointed to El TORO

Excellent meal, we chose the group buffet , the waitress was very friendly and helpful and explained clearly the menu , food arrived quickly and the quality was excellent. Will definitely b3 visiting again.

Very impressed with the transformation that has taken place here! The food was absolutely fantastic. I loved the potatoes with sauce, there are a lot of meat dishes but also lots of veggie dishes to choose from. I love the deals they have for 2 people inc drinks. My favourite part of our visit was the cocktail menu. I had a couple of mojitos and they were made perfectly, quite rare around these parts ;) We will be very interested to see what the new Peaky Blinders bar is like and will pay a visit soon! Fantastic to see something different in Sleaford.

Have visited this place 3 times and haven’t been that impressed on any visit. The first time we visited we had the Thursday deal - a bottle of wine and tapas dishes at a very reasonable price, the waitress was very quick to pour the wine and after a few seconds we saw why...there was at least a glass missing from the bottle!! The food is nothing to rave about especially at the prices they charge. Service is very slow. The venue itself is very nice and the cocktails are lovely and a very good selection but you can get cheaper in London! Have delayed putting this review up, as every bad review seems to have a very rude and sarcastic reply. Would have complained at the time if we were confident enough as this is a standard response. Maybe the restaurant need to realise that some people don’t want to ruin a night out by complaining and this is what trip advisor is for.

My first visit tonight and we shall be back, the service was relaxed and very friendly, the food was delicious and piping hot, and the drinks made a hot summer night fly by. I honestly can’t think of any negative points.

Pleasant surroundings, staff friendly and helpful. Had the El Toro sharer to start followed by Tapas, good tasty food and plenty of it! My wife, her friend and my daughter enjoyed the cocktails, prices reasonable will be making a return visit soon!

The meal was absolutely fabulous, the staff couldn’t do enough, great atmosphere. Resonsonbly priced for the quality of food. If you haven’t been. Well recommend you do so. Thankyou El Toro for making Dj’s 21st such a great evening with his family to remember.

Visited as a family with a small child. The children’s menu is fantastic value for money which includes a kids meal, drink and dessert all for £3.95.

Came here for a friends birthday meal. Had visited the previous restaurant but first time at the new location. Such a great night here, amazing food and cocktails. Great atmosphere and staff.

We went out to celebrate my wife's birthday the whole evening was excellent.We were met by the owner on arrival who made us feel very welcome, we ordered pre dinner cocktail which were very good we was shown to our table by a very friendly waitress.we decided to order the buffet for 6 people the quality, variety and sheer quantity of food was outstanding.

Well my daughter decided that she wanted to go to her favourite restaurant for her 6th birthday .... yep 6 , she wanted to go with her family as everyone loves El Toro.

Well...what more could a girl want on Valentine’s Day?? Fresh food, live jazz and amazing cocktails. I hope that the Jazz band become a regular feature. As always the food was amazing and what can I say about the cocktails.....peaky blinders need to watch out! Yet again fantastic service and amazing food. Thank you to every member of staff for making me feel so special :)

Thursday evening was Comedy night. This was the third one hosted here and in my opinion the best so far. Personally the headline wasn’t for me but I loved the other two and the compare, but I guess comedy is subjective. Our food this time was my favourite so far, we enjoyed our evening immensely. This restaurants a regular of ours, especially for the evening cocktails- Saturday evening again we where here for just drinks- we worked our way through the new ‘peaky blinders’ menu, and loved them all. The customer service is always above and beyond.

Tonight was 'Comedy Night'. Supposedly. The comedians ranged from a few laughs to absolutely dreadful. This was the second Comedy Night that my friends and I have attended. The last one, in December, was better. Although one of the comedians was dreadful, the others were generally funny. We thought we should give the event another try. The food was also better in December. Tonight, out of the 10 dishes, 6 were a type of potato. There was very little variety and it was not worth the £17.50 per head. Furthermore, one member of our party sent their dessert back as it was so poor. Another member of our party was overcharged for their glass of wine. Based on the food and quality of the comedians, we have not booked for the next night in April. I can't comment on the quality and value for money of the food on an ordinary night, but based on this experience I think I will stick to restaurants such as the Thai Sabai.

Booked for a small group and opted for the set tapas meal at £18. This includes a variety of dishes as well as your first drink. The selection of beers was good so we had a mixture of those. The food soon came out and was of very good quality. Bread, olive oil and dried meats served on a wooden board. Plenty of it and tasty. Then followed the main dishes, and there was loads of it! Rice/paella, meatballs, chicken skewers, chorizo, potatoes, garlic mushrooms... and the list goes on. One of our party had a birthday so he got a free cocktail. All finished off with a lovely surprise - a bill that was very reasonable. The bar had a vast selection of other drinks too including 20+ gins... oh well, we'll have to come back!!!

Excellent evening. Fantastic band. Great staff, good food and lots of it, welcoming atmosphere. Clean and tidy, great window booths. Manager fab hands on bloke.

My son and his wife were the visiting so we decided to go for a meal with them, my daughter and her partner. We arrived in time for happy hour and chose cocktails for all of us while we looked at the menu, waitress suggested that we have the £18 mixed buffet as we had six people, which included a drink each. It was a good decision, my daughter in law doesn't eat red meat and they made sure that she was catered for. The staff were very helpful and friendly, service was quick but not rushed. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

My husbands work do was here this year and the whole experience was excellent. Great venue, foods was great and cocktails were excellent. What made this so much more enjoyable was the warm friendly staff they were brilliant, chatty, smiley, helpful and service was excellent. Well done El Toro your staff did you proud :)

Just had a fabulous meal for my birthday. Amazing food and so much of it, great staff and service. We paid £18 a head and they just kept bringing platter after platter so great value. Would highly recommend for a group night out.

Thank you to all the team at El Toro for helping to make my birthday special. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was excellent and lots of variety of dishes. All my guests thoroughly enjoyed the night and have complemented on how well organised and friendly the staff were. Would definitely recommend for any party

Two of us ate here last Friday night...we were welcomed warmly by the staff lots of smiles and "can do" attitudes...great looking restaurant which wouldn't look out of place in a busy city centre and definitely unique for the area...it is lively which is to be expected for a Tapas restaurant.

I visited here at the weekend on Friday night. We were greeted and shown to our table which was nicely laid out. We then had our order taken by the very friendly staff and were advised to do 3 tapas dishes for £18pp including a drink (non-cocktail). Whilst this initially seemed steep we went for it, thinking for that price the food would be of exceptional quality (average £6 per dish, considering the size of them, is an awful lot of money). When they came, annoyingly staggered, the food was well presented, but not at the standard expected. The octopus was incredibly tough. I have never had octopus cooked in that style before so perhaps that is normal but it wasn’t great. The rest of the dishes were reasonable, but the aubergine with honey, blue cheese and jam was excellent! As a proposed offer, £18pp is not a good one. It should be cheaper. At that price, it would put me off from visiting again, which is a shame for a relatively new restaurant, and the kind of investment that sleaford desperately needs.

We went for our 1st year anniversary and generally speaking, we were impressed. The food was delicious and the owner was really really nice. I'd say it's a tad over priced at £18pp for 3 dishes but on the flip side it's good that the place is trying to make sleaford a bit more trendy and I guess that comes with a premium.

Went for our wedding anniversary meal but was totally ignored for 10 minutes & then given a table with banging music so just had our drinks n went to Wetherspoons which was better than I thought n should of had our meal there !

A real find indeed. A lovely setting for some wonderful food and drink. The menu is extensive, the food authentic, the portions plentiful and the flavours delicious. Add to this the great selection of drinks and a fab cocktail menu, and you have everything you need for a great night. Throw in some brilliant service to boot, and your perfect evening is complete. If you have never been to El Toro in Sleaford, then you owe it to yourself to do so. It's the finest tapas for miles.

Excellent cocktails, excellent service, excellent food! Literally nothing I could complain about, definitely recommended

Food was delicious! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Cocktails wonderful. Great atmosphere and superb decor. Toilets very clean. Manager spoke to all the customers. There are also event evenings occasionally. Great night out! Thank you!

Authentic Spanish food at reasonable prices. Booze is a bit pricy, but a good night out. A unique eatery in Sleaford. Try it.

This was my first visit to El Toro for food having previously been with friends for cocktails. The food was delicious and plentiful. We took advantage of the offer and each picked three dishes so had a great variety of food. The cocktail menu is extensive and the ones I tried were all great. The staff were fantastic, attentive and very welcoming. There was a tiny mix up with the sharing board we ordered and it was sorted out instantly without any fuss. It was busy yet the gentleman who cleared our plates took the time to speak with us which made us feel valued & well looked after. Thank you and good luck with your new venue - I'll definitely be visiting!

I had an absolutely amazing birthday here with family. The food was fantastic, loads of choice and made fresh to order. The cocktails were equally amazing. As I didn't know what I wanted I just told the barman (Dan) that I like gin and he did the rest, each cocktail more amazing the last. My 5 and 6 yr old were delighted when they got to have a go at making their own mocktails so that they didn't feel left out, this made the evening for me, seeing them so involved.

Wow.... what can I say....amazing food amazing service and amazing cocktails. Top quality food created clearly using only the best ingredients, a huge thank you to all the staff for a great night. Already booked our next visit, highly recommended.

Yet again, outstanding service and food from El Toro. Booked mine and my colleagues leaving meal here for 22 people, and they did us the £18pp deal! we all got a drink included and the delicious food came out as a buffet style - sharing board starters, and then an amazing selection of their dishes for us all to share, including paella. They also catered extremely well for a vegan colleague with no qualms. There was so much and not one person left hungry. The service was excellent and could not fault them one bit! My favourite place to eat in Sleaford.

Had a great night out with friends. The cocktails are worth waiting for. My favourite is Margaretta, but many to try. I have not tried the food yet but plan too as it looks yum. Yes this place is small but full of atmosphere it reminds me of the small tapas bars in Spain. I hear from a reliable source that they are moving premises to the market place very soon. This should give all the space you need for both cocktails and tapas.

Food passes but the chef is clueless about Spanish cooking , one of my party thought she was flipping burgers a few years ago at Mac Donald's !

We opted for the Birthday Deal and Iam still glowing and purring

My family love this place! We've been coming in since they first opened, usually to eat but sometimes just for drinks. It's fantastic. Food is incredible...I try a new tapas dish every time and have never been disappointed, and the cocktails are just perfect. The owners are lovely people, and always make our children very welcome, it's their first choice when we eat out El Toro is an asset to Sleaford...would highly recommend!

Had a get together planned with friends from out of town but forgot to book a table here until an hour before we wanted it. Despite the late notice we got in and yet again had an amazing time. The manager suggested we went for a buffet instead of each picking our own dishes and it was fab! Sharing breads, soup and a variety of tapas that was more than enough for the 6 of us. Service was really good drink flowed and just a great atmosphere. I've put a few pictures on but they really don't do the food justice - I didn't even like tapas this time last year (so I thought) and now this has become my new favourite place to eat & drink! Thanks again El Toro, it's clear to see you all work hard and it pays off every time. See you soon!

Three of us booked for my birthday. What a treat! Tapas were all tasty and authentic. Staff all very pleasant and attentive. Great evening had by all of us. Shall be returning. How about doing a take away service too?

First visit and didn't know what to expect but lovely atmosphere with helpful staff.we were a party of ten and it was great to see all the different dishes being brought in. Enjoyed the experience.

From the drinks to the food and friendly attentive staff everything was absolutely perfect!

Booked a table for myself and a few friends to celebrate my birthday, after previously having some tapas and drinks there over Christmas. Originally a few people weren't going to eat but they changed heir mind when they saw the menu. Service was great: attentive but not in your face. This place is small but this adds to a great atmosphere and the cocktails are delicious! Food was amazing (we all tried a bit of each other's) and I hadn't realised, but my meal was free, as was a cocktail, as it was my birthday! Major bonus as would've been more than happy to pay.
