Barn Door in Millersville

My husband and I went to this restaurant a few weeks ago and the owner and her husband came to our table to see how things were. We had a great dining experience and the food was good. The dining experience is a different spin on Mexican food which is nice. The meats are BBQ'd and the food melts in your mouth. Great little place to grab a bite to eat and unwind. It's BYOB.

Best melt in your mouth brisket I've ever had. Wasn't too impressed with the sides, other than the cornbread, but the meat is delicious. This is a new business and I can see them doing very well in the near future.

Nachos Barbacoa with chopped brisket! Best nachos I've had in over a decade. Really great burritos. Easy to handle and good portion size. Friendly and attentive service. Worth a visit.

Food was delicious and service was top notch. Burrito Bowl was tasty and just the right amount of food. Flan was a good way to end our meal.

Soooooooo good! Today was our first visit, and already made reservations for the weekend. The nachos were amazing, and as a non cilantro person, they held it on request. Brisket, burrito, rice and beans. A gem in this area!

We tried the guacamole, pulled pork, barbecued chicken and half chicken with various sides. Four stars on the guac, chips, corn bread and half chicken. Five stars on the pulled pork, bbq chicken, cole slaw, broccoli salad, fries and garlic smash. We did the classic margarita mixer and that was also five stars. We will be heading back to report on their Mexican dishes!

Enjoyed the homemade chips & salsas, my favorite was the verde. LOVED the chicken tinga, would eat it on anything. Can’t wait to go back here again & try some of the other enticing foods.

This was my first time there. Got the chopped brisket platter. Meat was very favorable and tender. Will definitely return.

Scratch made with love, the food at El Toro is such an upgrade to a Millersville restaurant landscape dominated by subs and pizza. Brisket, smothered burritos, amazing nachos. We keep coming back to try the whole menu.

This place was great. The food was very good, extremely flavorful. Plus they had Glass Animals playing on the stereo system. 5 stars! Could have been 6 stars if we were able to sit at the bar... The lunch/dinner menu is great, but the brunch is also super tasty. 10 out of 10 for the breakfast hash with brisket. Ask for the homemade hot sauce to kick it up a level.

Since we live nearby and were Barn Door regulars gave El Toro one more try. Very glad I did. Pulled chicken and brisket very good. Baked beans and corn bread outstanding. Service excellent. Portions a bit small. Will be back and try Mexican items next time.

Got take out and it was amazing. Nachos Barbacoa with brisket and some burrito bowls. Will definitely be back to try some other menu items.

Went for the first time and really enjoyed it. The food is very good and provides a nice option not located in this immediate area. I feel the prices are more than fair. I thought the decor and service were on point. They are already filling the place and serving a lot of take out so it’s understandable that some nights could be a bit off as they fine tune their people and processes, although we saw no issues. I can see us coming here regularly and I can’t wait to try more of the menu. They seem like really good people as well so I wish them the best.

Decor is still very dark and lighting is poor. Extremely understaffed and unorganized. Doors should not have been opened until they were able to accommodate the guests that walk through the door. However, the food was EXCELLENT and I think these new owners need to be given the opportunity to turn it around. Unfortunately, most people won’t want to give them that second chance. El Toro Barbacoa, you need to do better and quick.

Excellent quality food - not your typical dishes. Everything we had was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Best smoked meats and portion size is not supersized - but quality over quantity.

Really, really good. Try it. That's all I have to say.

We like Mexican food. But, nothing we had tasted like any other Mexican food we had eaten before. They did not give us chips and salsa. But you could buy it. The chips were thick (homemade) not that good, the salsa was thick, and didn't taste that good. It was close to the soup we had. If you want a good taco, this isn't the place to get it. I don't think this is a place where college students will eat. This was our frist time, and sorry to say, our last time.

The food is delicious and portions are generous enough for leftovers! In fact, I was looking forward to lunch today to eat my leftover chipotle chicken taco bowl! The same goes for this evening as I look forward to my chips and guacamole leftovers! Yum!

Great food. Welcoming atmosphere. Definitely will be there again. Had the burrito bowl and it was delicious! Glad to hear they'll be open soon on Fridays.

Amazing smoked barbecue. Reasonably priced. Fast and friendly service. Corn bread was really good too.

This was my second time here. The food is excellent, the service is good and the building has character. It's great that a mid-19th century structure is still in use. It likely predates most currently-standing structures in Millersville.

Everything served at El Toro Barbacoa is made in house and is DELICIOUS!! The mac'n'cheese was pretty good, not the best, but the honey BBQ tofu nachos, flan and kiwi passion fruit cheesecake were absolutely phenomenal. I could eat their cheesecake all day every day.The food was fantastic, the service was great, the music choice was great, and the atmosphere was so cute! My partner and I loved it! We're definitely coming back with friends!

Delicious food! Friendly and fast service. Definitely will return.

First visit, food was excellent. Service also excellent, ample parking 😀

Hours posted as open until 8pm so drive 30 minutes to get here at 7pm and it’s closed!! Pretty much lost my business for life and i loved this place

Unfortunately there is no option for zero stars. I ordered carry out due to the RONA and specifically requested no sour cream. What I received was quite the opposite, looked like a sour cream massacre. I can't rate the food as it was in editable... Great job guys!

We visited on a Wednesday night . The menu is confusing and then our waitress informed us they were out of brisket, chicken and corn bread. We shared the nachos and tried the Cole slaw and Mac an cheese. The nachos were good but the sides were disappointing. I had contacted the business earlier and asked why no hours on Friday and was told that was when they would be smoking meats.We will visit again and hope they get their act together. I must admit the lemonade was terrific

First time here and we will definitely be back! Delicious food, great service, warm and welcoming atmosphere! We had a large group w various entree orders and everyone loved their food. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing! We had the platters with various sides Not one complaint from the four of us. The sweet tea is great and the flan was the best I’ve had. Glad to have a different choice of foods in the area. Will be back for sure!

Great atmosphere for sitting down and enjoying the evening. The brisket is phenomenal. 💪🏻

Ordered take out got home to find one platter completely wrong meat and sides other platter all wrong sides. Food tasted good but disappointed didn't get to try what I really ordered.

Combination of Mexican & BBQ! I didn't try the Mexican menu but I enjoyed the brisket. Meat here is King! There was no sauces to distract from the flavor of the meat. I ordered chopped brisket platter which comes with 3 sides. My son had cornbread, double Mac and cheese while I enjoyed double potato salad and cole slaw. A few perks...BYOB and Sunday Brunch. Service is okay yet staff is knowledgeable. I gave my feedback to a woman - not sure if owner or manager. Hopefully it was well received as I wish them well!

We ordered take-out on the 17th. Chopped brisket and pulled chicken. Like the aroma wafting in the air in the immediate block, both meats were deliciously prepared and nicely moist. Sides were great, especially the savory baked beans. The cole slaw was perfect, meaning not overly sweet. They used to make creamed spinach, which was great, too, but that wasn't available. Anxious to grab another bag!

The El Toro Barbacoa Mexican restaurant is an excellent place to get "Top Quality" Mexican food!! The food is superb, and service has been courteous, professional and friendly. Pricing is also on point for the quantity and quality of food! If you enjoy Mexican food I highly recommend it!!!

Very enjoyable! Good food and great service. Highly recommend!

This place is awesome! The owners have created a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is varied and the food is delicious! Both times I've been there we had great service and mouthwatering food! Reasonable prices, too!

First timers today.....but definitely not the last! The waitstaff were very efficient and friendly providing the perfect dining experience. Food was awesome! It's a mix of Mexican and BBQ. Out of this world delish! The chips and guacamole were the best I've had. I don't know what else to say. JUST GO!!!!!!!

First time here and was very impressed. Food was very well seasoned, can wait to go back. Bonus byob

I am giving this restaurant 5 stars because ALL of the important parts for me were great. The food here is so tasty and authentic. My husband and I got to try a lot of it and I have no complaints about any of it. The brisket is amazing. The rice and beans are seasoned great. The salsas and nachos are flavorful. It's just a really good place to eat if you want authentic Mexican barbeque. The front of the house still needs polishing as far as flow BUT they are kind and courteous.They are still new and work very hard to make everyone happy. Trust me, if you have to wait a little while for the food it's well worth it. They will get the flow down . The wait wasn't that long ...order nachos and salsa to tie you over...they are fabulous. I hope this place succeeds because it is so different from the overpriced posh establishments around. Great flavors come out of this restaurant. This was my first time but I plan on coming back again and again. Delicious!

This place is so delicious!! Really great flavor, options, freshness. Everything we have gotten we’ve loved! It has become a family favorite.

My wife and I have been dying to try this place. We purchased a local flavor deal at the beginning of the year and were finally able to use it. So here is a recap of our takeout. - We ordered online and it said 20-25 minutes. We chose to order ahead about 35 minutes out. They called us and said it would be closer to an hour for a quesadilla and chips/meat cheese dip. - The associate didn't want to take out local flavor deal. We finally talked to the manager and the manager said the associate was in the wrong.- I have had better quesadillas from taco bell.- Not sure if the dip actually had beef in it like they said. Wasn't that good. And it definitely wouldn't have been worth the face value of 22 dollars.We will not be going back.

Food was delicious. Only one dessert on the menu ☹️

The best Barbacoa you'll find in Millersville. Admittedly, it's the only Barbacoa you'll find in Millersville, but it stands firm. While I'm not a meat eater myself, the food here is great. The atmosphere is a nice break from the Lancaster County usual. My only complaints are that the sauce can be sweet, and that's just not my jam. The other one is that we've consistently had to wait between 15-25 extra minutes every time we've ordered, so be aware there will be a wait.

The food is fresh! Everything is well made. You will find the owners and staff to be gracious and friendly. Tip- ask the chef for a little of his hot sauce

Wonderful and cozy atmosphere!! The best pulled chicken around. Beware. Portions are small, so if you are intending to share for two like we did, just order two platters with sides. You will be glad you did!! The chicken will put a smile on your face.

Had a really excellent first experience. Came to Brunch with family. Delicious Mexican-inspired food (even for Brunch). Highly suggested. BYOB, nice portions.

Not open on a Friday night....really?? Closing Sunday and Monday would make more sense. We were excited to support this new restaurant, but will have to try another time.UPDATE: After giving it a second try, we found the food to be delicious and the staff amiable. Worth the wait, but for their sake I hope doors will soon be open on a Friday night.

They've only been open a short time so still have a few things to iron out before they become a smooth running machine. That aside, food was very good and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to going there again.

My husband and I had a great dinner tonight. This was our first time here and we'd definitely come back. We had the taco dip appetizer and for entrees, I had the chicken tinga tacos and he had the brisket with coleslaw, mac and cheese, and corn bread for his sides. Everything was delicious!! We can't say anything bad the food or the service. Loved it all!

Best Mexican food I have had in a while! So fresh and flavorful!
