The new location is the former home of OinkADoodleMoo barbecue restaurant.
Enrique Alvarez, El Toro’s district manager, said they do not have an opening date to share just yet.
Customers can expect a fast-casual restaurant experience where they can build their own tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos or burrito bowls by picking their choice of protein and toppings.
Proteins include chicken, steak, beef, carnitas, al pastor pork and birria. Toppings include pico de gallo, corn salsa, tomatillo salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese and sour cream.
El Toro Express is built off the idea of to-go cocktails, which was launched during the coronavirus pandemic.

Alvarez previously said people were excited to get margaritas to go and it seemed like there was a need for casual, quick dining.
El Toro has long been a familiar stop for fans of Mexican fare in the Dayton and Springfield areas.
The restaurant has 14 locations across the region including Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Centerville, Dayton, Englewood, Huber Heights, Miamisburg, Springfield, Springboro and Vandalia.
El Toro opened its first location on Limestone Street in Springfield in 1999.
