Located in Historic Old Town Truckee.
El Toro Bravo Truckee has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails since 1988.
El Toro Bravo, in both Capitola (over 50 years) and Truckee (almost 40 years), was founded by Delia “Grandma” Rey, an amazing woman who had a plan. Drawing from the recipes she grew up with, Grandma created a restaurant that has become a family tradition spanning three and four generations.
When you enter El Toro Bravo, you’re coming into our home, and you’re treated like family.

“We love this small, cozy restaurant and the Mexican food is authentic and always delicious! The margaritas are excellent, too!”

“I am always skeptical when I am taken to Mexican restaurants in “touristy” areas.
This place was different… From the salsa (fair warning, delicious but unexpected bite), to food, service, and margaritas were all grade A.
I ordered the smothered burrito and even though I was full, I ate the whole thing.
If you are in town and are looking for good Mexican food, I highly recommend El Toro Bravo… Latino Approved!”

“The food was soooooooooo good! We had a few different dishes and every one was amazing. The Capitola Dorado and the 444 were shining stars! If we didn't live 10 hours away, this would be our "kitchen".
The service was also amazing. We were checked on a bunch and one waiter even came and chatted about his family.
For a party of five, with two kids, they absolutely nailed it.”
