About

Del Toro Mexican Cuisine is the Mexican restaurant at Highline Vail, a DoubleTree by Hilton on the North Frontage Road in West Vail. It is the Vail outpost of restaurateur Jesus Del Toro, who has run restaurants in Avon, Eagle, Dillon, Winter Park and Gypsum, and it leans toward the Pacific coast: Mazatlán-inspired seafood alongside traditional Mexican recipes and a list of creative cocktails.

It suits hotel guests and anyone staying in West Vail who wants a sit-down Mexican meal without driving into the villages, and families, since the menus include a kids' section. The kitchen serves from 10:30 in the morning through dinner every day.

Lunch and dinner

Del Toro runs two menus: lunch until mid-afternoon, then a dinner menu from 3:30 p.m. The dinner menu adds a dedicated seafood section to the appetizers, soups and salads, chef's taco specials and house specialties that both menus share, and both finish with desserts. Because there is no break between the two, it is one of the easier places in Vail for a late lunch or an early dinner.

Where it is

The restaurant is in the Highline Vail building in West Vail, away from the pedestrian villages, so most diners arrive by car or from a room upstairs. Hotel guests can use the hotel's on-demand shuttle during the day and come back to dinner without moving the car.

Ordering and booking

Reservations are taken online and by phone, and the restaurant has its own online ordering site for takeout. Hours and contact details are in the FAQ below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hours of Del Toro in Vail?
Every day, 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The lunch menu runs 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the dinner menu 3:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and the kitchen serves straight through the afternoon with no break between them, which makes it an easy late lunch or early dinner. The restaurant publishes one schedule all year, with no seasonal or mud-season closure on its site; the Town of Vail's spring restaurant guide lists it daily through the shoulder season as well.
Does Del Toro take reservations?
Yes, on OpenTable, and by phone at (970) 763-5171. The restaurant's own website and its page on the Highline Vail hotel site both route booking to OpenTable, and the profile is live and taking bookings. For a private party, OpenTable lists a Cactus area available for private parties; call the restaurant to arrange it. Note for groups: the menu states that parties of 5 or more have a 20% tip included, and that separate checks are not offered.
What do reviews say about Del Toro?
Strongly positive, and consistent across platforms. As of October 2026, Google rates Del Toro 4.5 out of 5 from 137 reviews; OpenTable rates it 4.5 from 81 verified diners (food 4.5, service 4.7, ambience 4.2, value 4.2); TripAdvisor rates it 5.0, but from only 3 reviews, so treat that one as a small sample. Diners praise the margaritas most, then the quesabirria tacos, tortilla soup, seafood enchiladas and rib eye tacos, the attentive service, the spacious room, and the easy parking compared with the villages.
What does a meal cost at Del Toro?
Mid-range for Vail, with a top end worth knowing. Lunch specialties run $16.50 to $26.99 and most dinner specialties $23.99 to $36.99; appetizers are $12.99 to $22.99, tacos are $25 for three, and dinner seafood runs $27.99 to $33.99. The Molcajete Campechano is $36.99, or $52.99 for two, which is why Google prices the restaurant "$20-60" and why OpenTable's "$30 and under" label understates it. Kids' items are $7 to $12 and desserts $9 to $13.
What should I order at Del Toro?
Start with the dish the menu itself marks "OWNERS FAVORITE!": the Molcajete Campechano, grilled steak, chicken and shrimp with Monterey Jack simmered in a green sauce, served in a volcano bowl with poblano rice and black beans ($36.99, $52.99 for two). The other dishes reviewers keep naming are the quesabirria tacos (8-hour braised birria beef with mozzarella and consommé, $25 for three), the aguachile estilo Sinaloa (raw shrimp, Mazatlán style, $22.99), the seafood enchiladas ($27.99), and the tuna toro tostada ($17.99). Finish with the horchata tres leches or churros with ice cream ($13).
Does Del Toro have a happy hour?
Yes, as reported locally: Discover Vail's guide to Vail's Mexican restaurants lists happy hour at Del Toro every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and OpenTable lists happy hour among the restaurant's features. The restaurant's own website does not publish happy-hour times or prices, so check the current specials when you arrive rather than counting on a specific deal.
Does Del Toro have gluten-free or vegetarian options?
Gluten-free, yes, and the menu says so itself: dishes that are NOT gluten-free are marked with an asterisk, the menu states that its chips and corn tortillas are gluten free, and every taco is served on an organic gluten-free corn tortilla. The menu also prints an allergen notice (milk, egg, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame) and asks you to tell your server about allergies; peanut-containing dishes are marked with a peanut icon. Vegetarian, there is no labeled vegetarian section, but the menu carries queso fundido, guacamole fresco, the house and grilled salads, chile relleno, and cheese dishes throughout. No dish is labeled vegan.
Is Del Toro kid friendly, and is there a kids' menu?
Yes, and both menus carry a kids' menu. At dinner: a kids quesadilla (cheese $7, grilled chicken $10, steak $12), a kids taco (chicken $9, steak $11), and cheese sticks ($9), all served with rice and beans, Papa Santa, or French fries. At lunch the same items are $9.99. Families review it warmly, including parents of toddlers, and the dining room is spacious with large booths, which helps with a group of mixed ages.
Can I order takeout from Del Toro?
Yes, through the restaurant's own online ordering site, orderdeltororestaurant.com, linked from deltororestaurant.com, or by phone at (970) 763-5171. Do not confuse it with delivery pages for "El Toro" restaurants elsewhere: those are different businesses, and no delivery service for this restaurant is published by the restaurant itself.
Where is Del Toro, and where do I park?
At 2211 North Frontage Road West, Suite 3, inside Highline Vail, a DoubleTree by Hilton, in West Vail, about two miles west of Vail Village. It is not in the pedestrian villages, so most diners drive or come from a room in the hotel. Parking is in the hotel's public lot, which OpenTable lists and reviewers single out as easy, a real contrast with the village garages. Hotel guests also have the hotel's complimentary shuttle to the mountain and Vail Village.
