Our Story

Since 2016, El Torito has been serving Paducah, Kentucky, with an authentic taste of Mexico that keeps guests coming back for more. As a proud, locally owned restaurant, we have made it our mission to bring fresh, flavorful, and traditional dishes to our community. Every plate is made with the finest ingredients, including all-natural meats, fresh produce, and our signature hand-rolled tortillas, ensuring quality you can taste in every bite.

El Torito was founded by a team with deep roots in the hospitality industry. Our founder came to the United States at a young age and began working in restaurants immediately, building skills and a passion for serving others since 1999. That passion led to a partnership with friends, and together we opened our doors on Halloween of 2016. From day one, our goal has been to create a welcoming atmosphere where customers feel like part of the family.

We offer a wide array of Mexican favorites—from sizzling fajitas and mouthwatering tacos to hearty burritos and indulgent desserts—each prepared with care and authenticity. Beyond our delicious food, we’ve become known for our exceptional service, exciting specials, and inviting environment that’s perfect for both casual dining and celebrations.

Our offerings go beyond the plate, with features like our customizable fajita bar for private events, rotating daily specials, and a vibrant selection of margaritas and specialty drinks. Whether you’re craving a comforting meal, looking for a place to celebrate, or just stopping in for a drink, we’re here to make it a great experience.

We’re grateful to the Paducah community for embracing us and allowing us to grow. With plans to expand and continue improving, we remain dedicated to serving authentic Mexican cuisine, offering unbeatable service, and sharing the flavors we love.

Had the fajitas, combo, and it was very good, very fresh ingredients and great flavor

Traveling from out of town and this was recommended. I liked that the chips were the thin and crispy type. The salsa was really delicious with a rich roasted almost “smoked” flavor. I ordered the chicken soup; which from other places typically comes out almost scalding (to my tongue anyway), but this was just the right temperature-still hot enough without being scalding. I appreciate that. Others in our party got fajitas, chimichangas, chili Colorado, and street tacos to everyone’s satisfaction. Also the large cheese dip was really large compared to other places I frequent in my home town. I definitely recommend.

On a recent trip to Paducah we were looking for some local Mexican food for dinner. (This should come as no surprise to anyone if you're paying attention.) Wifey found El Torito was less than a mile from our hotel. Just how easy was that? It was a Friday evening and they were busy, but we walked in and were seated immediately. The menu at El Torito is ENORMOUS and, if I may, a bit intimidating. The décor is very bright, vibrant, and colorful. El Torito has a great party/fun vibe to it. I don't recall our server's name, be he was AWESOME. He joked with us and we had a great time. In no time we had a basket of fresh chips and salsa and our drinks. The chips were fresh as in "still warm" (the way they should be) and the salsa was On Point! There are several dining areas at El Torito. We were surround by quite a few people who were having a great time. Yea, it was noisy, but it was FUN noisy. It wasn't conversations you really don't care about noisy, like "I really didn't care to know about some strange lady's doctor appointment and by the way, she picked up some cottage cheese on the way home...and Eleanor, did you hear what Sheila said about Joanne! *Gasp* How could she even?!?!".". This was people having conversation over awesome food and a killer margarita noisy. I was fascinated by the Pollo Mango on the menu, and my fascination absolutely got the best of me. Grilled chicken breast topped with apricot and mango roasted chipotle sauce. It was the apricot and mango chipotle sauce that caught my attention more than anything. Fast forward about 10 minutes and our awesome server (whose name we either never got or don't recall) delivered our food. He did it with a smile, made a corny joke, made us laugh, and disappeared....only to return a couple minutes later with drink refills. The Pollo Mango was blow-my-mind awesome. The sweetness of the apricot and mango coupled with chipotle was something I never saw coming...and it was MAHVELOUS. Each and every staff member was hustling keeping things going. Whether is was delivering food, clearing tables, or seating incoming customers, this restaurant was constantly in motion. I know there's a Mexican restaurant in just about every town, and we've been to many, many, many, many......a lot of Mexican restaurants. It's the ones that stand out that make a difference. El Torito is absolutely one of the stand outs. I hope to visit here again some day.
