We were staying out in area for getaway. Decided to have Sunday brunch here. Been a long time since we visited an el torito. Got seated fast and had buffet. We enjoyed it, service was great at bar area. Watched some football and filled our bellies lol. Great time. read more

Food was A Ok! However when we got there we asked how long was the wait for a booth? She said not long, And so she didn't bother to take my name I figured maybe because the wait is not long. And so we waited and waited! Two other parties were seated except us. I approach the counter and asked how much longer? The guy said I didn't know you were waiting, you're not on the list.. I said the lady didn't asked me, I figured she'll call us next. The place was not crowded the waiter was friendly! Ambiance was not bad music maybe a bit loud. But the food took more than 45min to come to the table! Yep my food was cold! I would recommend for the food but not for the food service, or the wait time to be seated. read more

Gloria was a great server! Great food, great atmosphere, great service! We are excited to come back soon!

It's literally royal treatment when I come here. Just had lunch and my people catered to me like I was a Queen. I love it here. The manager even came out to my car as I was leaving to give me a special card. When I tell customer service is top tier beyond 5 stars. I notice other locations are closing I pray this location never closes. Praying for your continued business success. You have a faithful customer forever read more

The food here was excellent! We had the birria tacos, table side guacamole, queso, and Mexican Caesar salad, and they were all delicious. We also got cocktails, and the Bees Knees was so good. Service was great too. read more

This location El Torito has much better food. We enjoyed the food and the service was very friendly but very slow. We couldn't get water or chip refills at all and they didn't look short handed and i also had to get up and ask for the bill. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I had to make an exception for the amazing service we received at El Torito. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming--but the real standout was Mario M. He was attentive without being overbearing, made solid recommendations, and had an easygoing way that made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guest experience. The food was great, but honestly, it was Mario's service that took it to the next level. If you go, ask for him--you won't be disappointed. read more

Had family over for the holidays and we decided to bring them to El Torito for Easter Sunday brunch.

Love this location because Jorge is amazing! We always request to sit in his area for brunch because he is so positive, attentive, and brings the fun vibes. Love all the options for food (they have everything-even items for picky kids). And you can't go wrong with bottomless mimosas, but I do love the Pomegranate Margarita. read more

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free birthday month entree (up to $15) for Rewards members Free Rampage Nachos (dine-in only) when the LA Rams have a Fourth Down Stop Chile Relleno Especial- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RccOryuneRt7K53_FDrC3Q&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Although the chile was smaller than other restaurants I've been to, El Torito's Chile Relleno Especial proved to be a good amount of food, without being excessively filling. The relleno sauce & tomatillo sauce were both tangy & bright, on the tinge of being too acidic. The black beans helped round out the plate. Rampage Nachos- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=29tIPtZ08DZZBweqAd6mwA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Regularly priced at $12, the Rampage Nachos tasted all the better being free. Who doesn't love nachos? This was a heaping mound of nachos, with beans, guacamole, pico de gallo & nacho cheese. Protein upgrades are exempt from the promo. The Rampage Nachos were great, until the tortilla chips started getting soggy, which made them unappetizing, after awhile. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oXgbm6ObdOPEfI21I_IbWw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was slow. In the cantina, one person was tending the bar & customers. Walking out was a thought of possibility. Parking is via a private lot. El Torito hooked it up, both for my birthday month & with the Rams Fourth Down Stop. While the service was inconveniently slow, the free entree/nachos made the experience more tolerable. They do have a good Happy Hour, so I can see myself coming back, provided the Rams have another Fourth Down Stop, in which I can have more free Rampage Nachos. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=uDuqECU72s83_8jUTtExSA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA read more

I've always been a big fan of El Torito back when there was a location at the Block of Orange. Back when there was a 3 course meal with a salad/soup entree and fried ice cream! Big fan!! Love this location in Cerritos They always participate in Lunch Buffets and Sunday Brunch unlike some of the other locations(Santa Ana John Wayne Airport location and Santa Ana off 17th Street). Enjoyed my meal again tonight, server was Arturo. He was attentive, friendly, and recommend seasonal options along with recommendations for new items to try. Keep the friendly service and amazing food at this location!! read more

The food was very good and the drinks were amazing! Our server Gaby was awesome very attentive and friendly! Def coming back!

El Torito brunch has been one of my go-to spots for a while now, and honestly, it's still one of the better all-you-can-eat brunch experiences around. I've been a fan of the variety, the consistent quality, and of course, the bottomless mimosas that never seem to hit empty. But I do have to mention that the experience today was a bit frustrating on the front end, which is why I'm leaving four stars instead of five. I made a reservation on OpenTable for 10:15 AM and arrived early, around 10. I know brunch rush is real and things don't always run perfectly on schedule, but we weren't seated until almost 11 AM. What made the wait a little harder to understand was that, as we stood there, we noticed at least five clean and open 4-top tables just sitting there with no one being seated. So it wasn't like we were waiting for a table to open up or for it to be cleaned--there were several available, which made the nearly hour-long wait with a reservation feel pretty avoidable. Once we were finally seated, though, I was quickly reminded why I keep coming back. The food was absolutely on point. Everything was fresh and delicious, and they did such a good job keeping all the stations stocked. There wasn't that awkward buffet moment where you're waiting for something to be refilled or scraping the bottom of a tray. The made-to-order omelet station was running smoothly, the taco station was loaded with all the good stuff, and the classic brunch staples like bacon, waffles, and cinnamon pancakes were all hot and tasty. I've been to plenty of brunch buffets where quality dips as the day goes on, but here they really seem to stay on top of it. And major credit to our server, who was super attentive and made sure our mimosas were constantly refreshed without us having to flag anyone down. That really made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable after the long wait at the beginning. All in all, even with the rocky start, El Torito brunch still hits the spot. I just wish the reservation system lined up a little better with the actual seating process because waiting almost an hour with a reservation--and with empty tables in plain sight--wasn't the best first impression of the day. But the food and service once seated definitely made up for it. I'll be back again, just with slightly adjusted expectations around the check-in process. read more
