Reservations mean nothing to this place. Why take reservations if you cannot adhere to them. And I get 5-10 minutes late happens. But an hour and 15 minutes late. That's just letting overbooking take place as they know by the time you are there you have no choice but to stay because everywhere else open would have also been full. Or allowing walks ups to go ahead of booked reservations. Crazy , zero point in booking here it doesn't mean anything. This is the third Mother's Day reservation we have made here over the past few years. Won't be doing it again. They seem to overbook more and more each year. read more

Gracias a todos read more

Gabby is the best! Amazing service! Very nice & attentive. This is my favorite location because of the service.

The service and food here is very good. I think the best part about coming to this El Torito is the service, particularly from a waiter by the name of Jorge. He provides a great service while being charismatic and friendly. The drinks here are also excellent. The ambience here is also very joyful and lively. In the end, if you're thinking about Mexican food, coming here would be a great choice. read more

Our waitress Martha was very attentive. Our food was served hot and fresh. Our chips were warm and fresh.

We had an excellent server named Luke M., who truly went above and beyond. My friend wanted cabbage for her tacos, but the cabbage we were given was soggy. Luke informed us that he would go to the back to have them cut fresh cabbage. Within five minutes or less, he returned with freshly cut, crisp cabbage as promised. Luke was awesome and demonstrated that he is a qualified server! Great hire El Torrito! read more

First time ever eating at an el torito; its was okay tbh i ordered the trio fajita (chicken, shrimp, steak) the shrimp was good but the chicken and steak was super over cooked and super dry, it gave me a jaw workout. The only best thing i had was the table side guac, it was amazing! The service was good no complaints. Overall if the food was better I might give it another chance read more

Gloria was the sweetest server! She gave me great drink recs (hibiscus marg, yummmm) and was quick to get my orders in. My fajita salad was fresh and tasty, best you could ask for! read more

We went for the free tacos which were so good. The chicken was juicy, the steak was flavorful, and the carnitas were tender! My husband and I were very pleased with the quality of the tacos even though they were free! Arturo was our server and he was so attentive! He was also very cheerful and friendly and definitely contributed to our positive experience. Thank you Arturo for taking care of us! read more

We went for brunch to celebrate my cousin's birthday and had Arturo as our server. He was very attentive and quick to refill our glasses and brought us these delicious pancakes with brown sugar on them. Overall a great experience with lots of delicious food options. Will absolutely be back. Make sure you ask for Arturo's section read more

Service was phenomenal our waitress Gloria helped us to decide on what we should order and we're glad on choosing the fajitas with tortillas. The food was amazing and the service was really helpful! read more

natalie ATE DOWN, she took great care of us and her vibes & personality made us feel right at home! our food was delicious and so were our drinks! thanks natalie and el torito team! read more

Jose was the BEST server tonight. He made sure my friends and I were taken care of and made us feel so welcome. 10/10!!!

This whole experience from start to finish was bad. We should have just turned around and walked out. But we had been to this location on and off over the years, several times. There were 4 of us (2 couples) First , we asked for a table not a booth. She acknowledged our statement and walks us to a booth. We say, a table please, after a long pause, we are brought to a small table. We get our menus, our lovely server walks up to our table (you can tell this lady has been busting her butt all night) Gets our drink order and brings chips and salsa and we add table side Guacamole. Me and the other wife order the Mojito flight.......WARNING- DO NOT ORDER They come back to tell us they have no mint for the mojitos and will that be a problem.....well I do get irritated when especially large brand names establishments don't keep an adequate supply of ingredients nenecessary for highlighted items in the menu. But we said ok. These mojitos with or without mint, should not be bought. It's like syrup in a cup. Wayyy too sweet and taste like store bought mixes. Absolutely disgusting. We get to placing our orders and guess what? They are all out of the bacon wrapped shrimp i was ordering for dinner. I end up ordering fajitas like the rest of my party. The liquid they ignite is all over the food, you can taste it. No flavor in thr meat. I even had to request some of their jalapeño butter because the meat alone was not edible without it. Flavorless. The tableside guacamole had no salt or pepper added so we had to doctor it up. The tablestableside Here is where disgusting can't even compare. My friend gets up to walk toward the waitresses inquire about something and I feel something in my hair. I thought when my friend got up, she snagged my hair, when i put my hand on my hair as I now see my friend walking away from me so it can't be her but my hair has something moving. A FLYING ROACH flew down from the vent, into my hair. I immediately threw it down to the floor out of my hair , where it began to crawl and my hubby stepped on it. I let out a scream and people watched and no one batted an eye. I ask for a manager and I explain what happened. A man who seems like he also is a manager of sorts seemed to question what I said until I pointed to the extremely large DEAD roach. She says they are sorry. I assume they will just make things right later. Nope. She brought me a flan, served before the dinner even came ( I didn't eat it) Oh and did I mention the fajitas coming out and not fitting on our table because the leaves wpuldnt extend under the table due to an unstable lock for the leaf. In the end, all they did was take 20% off the check. This is a condensed version of the whole overall experience. It was pretty bad and to be honest a waste of alot of money on food and an experience that was horrible. This El Torrito has really went down and I wouldn't return because the quality does not match the high prices and subpar food and beverages. read more

The best brunch ever. Best Mexican food! Totally worth it! Bring your families and friends! You won't regret it. read more

Anyway, happy hour here is a great deal. Tuesday night tacos are also very delicious. Happy hour from 3pm to 7pm. ハッピーアワー は超人気なので早めに行った方が良いです。 read more

Taco Tuesday! Been here multiple times for Taco Tuesday! Their portions here are pretty fair and the $4 tequila shots are spot on. As for me, I'm just here for the tacos and drinks. The bar area is self seated, but the downside of this is the service does take forever. Once you're able to have a server come down, you order your tacos and they provide you a receipt. You walk over to the taco stand in the middle of the restaurant and request what you would like. Tacos are tasty, the corn bread is fire, but the only downfall is the service.. very slow. When it's taco tuesday, yea I'd come back, but it won't be my first option. read more

This place is difficult for vegetarians and vegans. Not enough options and you gotta check on everything- the beans, the rice, etc. also waiters don't know much when you ask them about the ingredients. I often get different answers from different people, suggesting they are just making up answers. I think this day and age, there could easily be more options for don't who don't eat meat. Especially with Mexican food. read more

El torito easily has one of the best and most underrated happy hours! The margaritas are only $6 and the tacos are $3 and you can add all your own toppings! I've gone to a few spots but we were seated quickly here despite it being crowded. Our server Gloria was also super friendly and attentive! read more

My co-worker and I came here after work for a quick dinner before our long drive home. I have heard mixed reviews when it comes to El Torito but when my co-worker insisted it was "one of her favorite places" to eat so I had to see for myself. We got to the restaurant around 6:15pm and not many people were there. I did put in a reservation prior just in case it did pick up since it was a Friday night. We were seated immediately. The ambiance was casual, it was like an upscale Chili's. Definitely family friendly, a place for some after work happy hour, or even a bible reading (we witnessed this happening at a table next to us). We ordered some drinks to and guac to start. I ordered the Fajitas Supremas and my coworker ordered the Fajitas combo. Both food and drinks came out relatively quick which was a plus. They made the guac infront of us which I thoroughly enjoyed. Personally it was super salty but still good after I added some lime on my own. My fajitas was okay. They did not give me the rice that came with it until I had to ask for it which sucked because it took me a good 10 minutes to try to fly down our server or any staff that was working there. The meat was dry. The dish in itself was just super dissapointing to be honest. Like I had mentioned before El Torito looked like an upscale Chilis but Chili's fajitas definitely taste better in my opinion. Food wise, I rate them a solid 3/5. At the end when we asked for the check , we requested to split the bill evenly. The check was about $86.00 . The split check should have been $43 each. However, our waiter charged us both TWICE in the amount of $86.00. While this was probably an honest mistake since he stated he had swiped the card the first time and it went through but the receipt didn't print so he went to swipe it again at a different register. Um, what? Anyway, we did get it figured out after asking someone else to take another look at it. A few things that stood out to me: They never once offered to give us water. We had to ask for utensils before they gave it to us It was super hard to wave down any staff Mediocre food read more

Came into restaurant tonight and Alfredo was awesome. This may not be a 5 star restaurant but he gave a 5 star experience after the large crowd of dodger fans left after a game. He was super attentive and has a great personality and chatting it up with us. He's definitely on top of his game here. His manager angel came by to check on us and see how we were doing. Will definitely be back here :) Thank you Alfredo for the great service! read more
