Strengths
- A real grill on Pub Street. The strip is mostly buckets and beer promotions. This is a kitchen that cooks steak properly in the middle of it.
- The chicken amok surprises people. Reviewers who came for steak end up writing about the Khmer dishes, which says something about the kitchen.
- The Pizza Siciliana on a thin crust. The other plate that comes up repeatedly.
- Prices below what the address suggests. Central Pub Street, without the tourist premium.
- Staff people remember. Friendliness is named as often as the food.
Good to Know Before You Go
- Tables are close. Reviewers mention the spacing — this is a busy strip restaurant, not a quiet room.
- Pub Street is Pub Street. The noise is the atmosphere; if you want calm, this is not the evening.
- Service can dip at peak. The minor recurring caveat, outweighed in most reviews by the food.
Who It's For
El Toro is where you eat when you want to be on Pub Street without eating badly.
- Meat eaters: the most reliable grill on the strip.
- Mixed tables: steak, pizza and amok on one menu.
- Nightlife-first evenings: dinner where the night is already happening.
- Value hunters: a central address that has not priced up.

Verdict
Pub Street is not where anyone expects to find a decent steak. El Toro is the exception, and the fact that its Khmer dishes get praised as much as the grill tells you the kitchen is not coasting on location.
Eat here, then walk ten metres into the night.
