El Toro

Arena beast, Spanish

El Toro is Spanish for "the bull," appearing in English primarily as a place name—most notably the former Marine Corps Air Station in Orange County, California, and various towns and businesses throughout the American Southwest.

The phrase evokes Spanish and Mexican cultural heritage, particularly bullfighting traditions.

We're meeting at El Toro for dinner.
