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.
El Torito stands out through our personalized service and true commitment to our customers. We take pride in making every visit memorable, whether it’s a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a lively party with friends. Our team is here to make sure you feel welcomed, appreciated, and satisfied.
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.

Good place for Carne Asada. Our server made sure we got the "good" salsa to go with it. It's also the only place I've seen lately that has Churros. Update: The Al Pastor Street Tacos are my favorite meal from this place.

It's good, a lot of seating too. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends. Pretty typical Mexican joint, but the service is good.
