Torreador Mexican Restaurant

Best margaritas around! Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Small place with an unassuming atmosphere.

The torreador was what I had it reminded me of bar food in a good way. The service was good our cups stayed full and it was a relax atmosphere a hole in the wall ambience in a good way. I'll be back

went in for dinner at 645. took 15 mins to order 2 drinks. by 720 we had asked to order food twice both times watched people clean tables and ignore us. lady ended up coming with a napkin to write order on..... decided to close tab and leave. sadly went there all the time in college wont be back again.

Great food! Everything is really high quality! We especially enjoy taco salads, enchiladas & burritos!
Service is very good too!

Although the table we sat down at was not very clean, the service was pretty good and food was decent for Mexican food in Kansas. Reasonable prices were a plus as well.

This place is homey and if I needed a place to go for a beer and some nachos after work this would be a great option. You can tell they have a LOT of regulars. The tacos were great, very reasonably priced and our service was friendly. 100% recommend.

I find myself in downtown Overland Park much more these days than I ever did in years past. That's due mostly to having added a client or two who are in that neck of the woods. A number of years ago, when my treks to that part of town were much fewer in number, I noticed an old building with cool neon lighting that simply said, "Torreador Mexican Restaurant." I made a mental note that I should grab my bride for a casual date night and give it a try... But I guess the note got "buried" because we never went.

A few days before Christmas I wanted to visit a couple of my favorite boutiques in the downtown area, and it occurred to me that it might be a great chance to try out this place. My wife was off work and was game to join me, so off we went!

The restaurant is as tiny and unassuming on the inside as the impression given by its exterior. We were greeted immediately and shown to a booth. We chatted with the fellow who seated us and he was very friendly. Service was great from beginning to end... And I really felt as though we were in a place that values relationship with its customers. Almost everyone we saw while we were there seemed to be a regular customer based on their interactions with the staff. I really liked that.

The menu was concise and the price point was amazingly affordable. We asked a few questions about specific menu items and ended up, because the prices were so low, ordering an assortment of food items to try. When our meal was delivered, it was exactly as expected. My wife and I shared all the items and compared our impressions... Be aware, we are lifelong Texans who have lived in Kansas for the past 15 years. Our standards for Mexican food may be more unrealistic than many other people, but we make no apologies for it. We were raised with a certain style of Mexican food, TexMex, and it is the standard by which we judge most of our restaurant adventures! Don't judge... ;-)

Of the items we ordered, the crispy beef tacos and the toreadors were by far our favorites. The chili Reno and enchiladas were good, but not outstanding. Most of the food items were dressed with Ranchero sauce, which I can take or leave. Theirs was as good as any I've had anywhere else. As we tasted and talked, I remember saying to my wife, "This is all 'fine,' but it's nothing spectacular."

I would not feel the need to drive the 25 minutes from my house for the specific purpose of eating at this restaurant, but if I were in the neighborhood around meal time, I would also not hesitate to go back... Especially since I now know which food items I prefer.

If you're looking for a remarkable culinary experience, this is NOT it, but if VALUE FOR PRICE coupled with GREAT SERVICE floats your boat, this place is not to be missed.

I was raised in Arizona this is the food that my Mom made it not Tex Mex it real Mexican food and their drink selection is great their Margaritas are fine and their beers always cold service is great too

Good service and food is good and reasonable. Taco Monday is a great deal- buy one get one free and margaritas are cheap! Nice find in old Overland Park.

I love this hole in the wall. I occasionally crave greasy Tex-Mexy food PLUS I also don't mind eating my dinner under neon blue lights while listening to Black Sabbath. I am also a people watcher, so I don't mind watching the people who've been drinking at the bar all day long. It's a fun spot to hide out & have private conversations, and laugh...lots of laughter. The ground meat tacos are a little salty, that's my only complaint.
