5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I work in the neighborhood and stopped by El Toro for drinks after work last week. They might possibly have the best margaritas in town, and when they're half-priced for happy hour, they're even better! The gourmet taco menu was really good - we ordered a few different kinds (filet mignon & coconut shrimp tacos were awesome) and nachos, sat at a cool lounge-y table and had a really great time. Staff were great - we were a big group but they took it in stride and even bought us a round of drinks. This will definitely be my new Friday happy hour spot with the girls, especially since we can go right up to Busby's to dance after!

Pros: margaritas, tacos, atmosphere

Cons: not sure about parking.. we walked

I can't believe this place. It was awesome a few months ago but has now turned into a crudhole. The quality guys who came here to socialize and order drinks get treated like poorly. I'm sorry, but we are the ones who spend 90% of the money in these places.... The bartenders are rude and egotistical. You're here to serve us - so do your job! It shouldn't be mission impossible to order a round of drinks. The overall croud has gone waaaay down. Half the guys walk around with their shoulders out trying to start fights. This is a club, RELAX! No one wants to start a fight. All the girls who I brought did not have a good time. They said the guys were creepy and weird. Evne the girls who I met there said the same thing - to were extremely creeped out by the guys! On top of that, the girls aren't even hot....Keep in mind I am the most non-judgemental person ever...but if ugly chicks are getting creeped out by weird guys....imagine what the hot girls are thinking!! Save yourself a headache and head to another bar in Hollywod. Busby's had SO much potential but the management obviously has no clue how to run a business. Next time show your employees how to treat customers properly. We are at your venue to spend OUR money and you act like you're doing us a FAVOR? No thanks, I'd rather go somewhere that appreciates my business.

Pros: cool venue

Cons: bouncers, bartenders, people, cover, attitude
