What is on the menu at El Toreo?
The restaurant's website describes traditional Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, chile relleno, fajitas, quesadillas and enchiladas, along with what it calls authentic Mexican food and Tex-Mex entrees. It also lists hand-crafted margaritas, domestic and imported beers and cocktails.
The website says every item on the full menu can be ordered to go, or called in for pickup. Dish names and prices change, so this page lists none; the current menu is on the menu page at eltoreorestaurant.com, and the daily specials page lists the current drink specials.
Does El Toreo have a happy hour?
The restaurant's website advertises a happy hour every day with 2 for 1 drinks on beer and well drinks. It does not publish the hours of that happy hour, so ask the restaurant before planning around it. The website also mentions a decorative patio, where drinks can be enjoyed with a meal.
Getting there and what to confirm
The SR 200 restaurant is written as 3510 SR 200 or 3510 SW Hwy 200 on the restaurant's website, and Google Maps lists the same building as 3510 SW 36th Ave in Ocala 34474. The Silver Springs Blvd restaurant is at 3790 E Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala 34470. Each address above links to a map.
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Google Maps showed the SR 200 restaurant closing at 10 PM, half an hour earlier than the Monday to Thursday closing time on the restaurant's website, so confirm closing time by phone. The restaurant's website does not list parking or reservation details, so call the location before a large group visit.
