El Toro Bravo

A fixture near downtown Truckee for more than 25 years, El Toro Bravo is one of those places that locals and visitors alike gather to eat, imbibe and have a good time. The key lubricant in keeping the fun flowing is the Mexican restaurant’s margaritas. Order a pitcher or three for your group and the party will soon be rolling. It’s always a good idea to eat when imbibing, and El Toro Bravo doesn’t miss with its large combination plates. Try the carnitas platter or the house specialty chimichanga, which is sure to offset cavalier amounts of tequila. Summertime tip: Get to El Toro Bravo early during warm summer evenings if you want to sit outside. The patio and bar have a great energy and fill up quickly.
