Just had the most amazing brunch experience !! We had Eduardo as our sever and he was amazing and super attentive Can't wait to come back !! This location is soo clean and welcoming

Delicious food, efficient and quick service and ample parking. Period. This El Torito doesn't play. Everyone is super friendly. We were seated quickly amd within seconds, our chips and salsa appeared. I don't know what they do to those chips and salsa but they are always good. I try not to ruin my appetite with them but they are borderline addicting. I got the steak nachos and a bowl of Tortilla soup amd sweet cakes. The nachos were large and I couldnt even finish half. Our food came out super easy and it was good. My soup was perfectly seasoned with nice,moost chunks of chicken. The corn sweet cakes are as i remembered. Very good. My companion also ordered the fried ice cream which I tried. It was different, lol. I will come back to this locazion because of the wonderful experience.

Went for Sunday brunch the pancakes are amazing! Pablo was wonderful and provided exceptional service!and sure to stop by for the unlimited mimosas too!!

Don't be fooled by the steak and chicken being spread out. It was only 4 slices of each! Those was the sizzling fajita combo!

Food was garbage tonight! Talk about salty! I think they added too much salt cause the food had no flavor. The cook was garbage. I'm pissed too! Service was nice! Anyhow; nothing good to say about this meal tonight! I'm pissed too! Salty BS!

El Torito is a chain, I don't know if there are any outside of California. This one is in Hawthorne near a huge mall. It is excellent. Always make a reservation, especially on the weekends or you will be waiting. Parking is easy. They have a full bar, a lot of comfortable seating and they even have Sunday Brunch. We were there, this time for dinner. As always it was great. It is a tad pricey for what you get which is traditional Mexican food. They always have specials, this time they had 35$ per person special called Dine LA. We did not get it, but it is a good deal. The service is excellent. All the staff dresses in Mexican style clothes and it is very cute. They are all super nice and you will be well cared for. We had the table side guacamole and you get a lot. My grandson loves it. For dessert we had their flan which was very good. Our mains were salads and really great combination plates. You will love this place.

El Torino has up graded their menu ,the food new food menus is amazing. Our waiter Julian was amazing, constantly checking to see did we need anything. Julian was nothing but amazing,

Our server was decent. Got too busy so the service lacked but at least he was kind. Wife had flautas. She said they were okay. I ordered chicken strips for the kid, you can taste the freezer burn on them. But I couldn't expect too much from a Mexican restaurant and chicken strips. Ordered the appetizer with mix of items. Swapped out the flautas for potato chorizo taquitos. These were delicious. Great new item! Chips and salsa were good too. I also ordered the shrimp, beef and chicken fajitas. My meal came out 20 minutes after my wife's. And only came, because we had to remind the waiter. No flavor at all. Tasted like nothing. $30 to eat nothing? Not thx. Told the waiter, he didn't believe me. Told him to try it on front of me. Bill came, he removed the fajitas. But check out the scam on the tip recommendation (Gratuity) ... those numbers aren't correct. if you run a restaurant and are trying to scam the people that keep you in business by adding $4 + to what a tip should actually be, then I will feel nothing but happiness when your business eventually fails. All of them had no flavor. read more

After some back-and-forth about where to grab dinner, my friend suggested El Torito. I was hesitant about hitting up another Mexican chain restaurant, but we decided to go anyway. Once we arrived, I found everything on the menu looked tempting. My waitress, Alexandra, recommended the green enchiladas, and I must say, they did not disappoint. The food was superb, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The ambiance was delightful, and our waiter was attentive to our order and the group's needs. I'll return to this restaurant and ask Alexandra to be our server again--she was genuinely caring and charismatic. The only downside? I forgot to snap a picture of my green enchiladas for the review. read more

Came for Happy Hour on a Friday at 3pm and was greeted by a kind hostess and seated quickly. My waitress was Kristen who's been a server for 11 years and it shows in her professionalism, experience, and outstanding customer service. Kristen was so fast and efficient with my order and provided me with the best nonalcoholic drink. Was not only friendly to me but was attentive to each of her tables. The chef brought out a delicious set of steak tacos with rice/beans. Yum!

Came here on Valentines Day and had a reservation for 7pm but wasn't in the system so we had to wait 20 mins to be seated. The waitress Alex provided bad customer service and kept tossing items on our table and leaving very quickly not allowing us to even tell her thank you or to request something such as forks or napkins. That's the other thing, we weren't even provided napkins or utensils besides the one spoon that came with the food. Horrible Valentines experience and won't be coming back. The only reason why I gave 2 stars is because they took care of the bill for us due to waiting over 40 mins for our food to arrive at our table. read more

Mexican Buffalo Wings Okay I have to give them a 4 ONLY because they make them too fatty. Here's when they get the 4 1/2 stars.....You have to ask them to make them well done! This makes the skin crispy as they should be. Now the flavor of the buffalo sauce is spot on as well as the ranch and blue cheese dressing. Great job on the buffalo wings!!!! They are really good. I would give a five, but sometimes they're not consistent when ordering them to be well done. It can be dry sometimes, but most of the time, it's to my satisfaction:) read more

I came into this restaurant to try out the Sunday brunch buffet, sadly I will never go back to El Torito ever again. the service and taste of the food was mediocre. Definitely not worth the $32.99 a person. When eating my Pozole I found a large piece of plastic. After letting a staff member know about the large piece of plastic found in my food they did not seem to care and were not very apologetic. Nothing was done to resolve this issue. I will never be dinning here again nor will I recommend anyone to eat at this establishment. Edit: despite reaching out to the regional manager about a month ago still nothing has been done to resolve this issue as he has not responded to my personal email as per his request to get in contact with me. read more

In terms of the atmosphere it is a bar so very lively, very open, lots of open space, very fun. There's a big outdoor area, which I love because loud bars can be overwhelming. There's tons of TVs to watch the game or whatever else is on and the bartender was very attentive. The server was okay

Naturally, we had to check it out. Turns out it was coming from a newly opened cigar lounge (well, new to us -- they've been open about six months). The place is a cozy little hideaway with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The live music was incredible, and the overall vibe was smooth and calming. Even though I'm not much of a cigar smoker, I asked for something light, and they recommended a flavorful option that I ended up really enjoying. I'll definitely be adding this place to my list of regular Friday night stops. If you're into good music, chill vibes, and maybe a light cigar, I highly recommend checking it out. Don't forget to catch their live music this summer -- on Friday nights. Check out the videos and pictures. This spot is a must!

We came here to celebrate my cousin's graduation after she became a doctor, and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. The food was delicious, rich, flavorful, and satisfying.

He was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing to keep in mind: it can get pretty windy up there since you're close to the airport, so bring a light jacket or dress accordingly. Thankfully, they have fire pits and heat lamps that help keep everyone warm and comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

It's located inside a hotel and the rooftop was decorated with florals and there were couches near the fire pits. If you sit at the fire pit, the table is going to be super small by the way. I ordered the grapefruit grove, but they ran out of grapefruit so I had to sub for pineapple. The drink still tasted good. My friends ordered the bird of paradise and the LA fruit cart and they liked their drinks as well. For food, we all tried the flora fries, garlic parmesan wings and the ahi tuna poke nachos. This is where it was lacking. I only liked the flora fries. They were crispy and garlicky. However, the garlic parmesan wings were extremely bland. I couldn't taste any flavor, we had to ask for some salt. The ahi tuna poke was not what i was expecting. I literally got 4 small pieces of tuna on some crispy wonton chips and it was $23 lol. Overall, if I were to come back, I would just come for drinks and ambiance but not the food.

Chicken was seasoned all the way through--not just on the outside. Juicy, flavorful, cooked right. You can taste that this isn't rushed food. The sides actually hold their own too, which matters. Everything on the plate made sense together. Now let's talk about the tequila. Clean pour. Smooth. No funny business. Exactly how tequila is supposed to hit--no burn, just warmth. Paired perfectly with the food. Portions? Respectable. Flavor? Consistent. Vibe? Local, comfortable, and welcoming. This is one of those neighborhood spots where you can tell people actually come here regularly--and that's always a good sign. No gimmicks. No overthinking. Just good food and a solid drink.

Look I get it things are expensive but come on 10 bucks for a one handed not very full bean and cheese. There were moments while eating it was more tortilla than filling. For size and portion maybe it's just me but $10 ain't it. I take the L for not opening it on the spot but lesson learned. Just a heads up for anyone thinking of ordering what you will be getting.

First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me. There are a few handicap parking spots available in the small adjoined parking lot, with easy wheelchair access through the front door. There is also plenty of parking spots located on the street and in the available parking lot located in the middle of Hawthorne Blvd. There is a television with captions on for those that are HOH, hard of hearing. Being a hearing aide user, I sincerely appreciated this. I consider this a hidden gem in Hawthorne.

Our recent brunch outing at El Torito with Bryan and Cynthia was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that set the perfect tone for a leisurely morning. The star of the show? The endless mimosas, which flowed freely throughout our brunch affair, adding a delightful touch of effervescence to our gathering. With each sip, we couldn't help but feel the festive spirit infuse our conversations and laughter. As for the food, it was a brunch lover's dream come true. From Chilaquiles to flan. El Torito's brunch menu offered a tantalizing array of options to satisfy every craving. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with authentic Mexican flavors that left us craving more. Despite the bustling brunch crowd, the service was exceptional. Our server was attentive and efficient, ensuring that our glasses remained full and our plates never empty. The seamless experience made our brunch all the more enjoyable. As we bid farewell to El Torito, Bryan, Cynthia, and I couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful time we had. With endless mimosas, delicious food, and impeccable service, our brunch at El Torito was truly an experience to remember. We'll definitely be back for more brunch bliss in the future! read more

Justin was an excellent server and truly made our experience outstanding from start to finish. He was attentive, friendly, professional, and always made sure we had everything we needed without having to ask. He constantly checked in on us, kept our drinks refilled, and made us feel comfortable and welcomed the entire time. His positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out and made the dining experience even better. Naila, the host, was also amazing and made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. She was kind, professional, and created such a warm and friendly first impression of the restaurant. Adolfo, the food server, was just as wonderful. He brought out the food quickly, made sure everything was correct, and was very attentive and courteous throughout the meal. The teamwork between the staff made the entire experience feel smooth, welcoming, and enjoyable. The best part of this restaurant is the way the employees treat you like family. Everyone is welcoming and creates such a comfortable atmosphere. The traditional Mexican food tastes homemade, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant for the amazing staff, excellent customer service, and delicious homemade Mexican food. read more

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS under any circumstance. I have never been disgusted by a restaurant in my life. I'm upset and this place needs to be shut down! I recommend that no one comes eat here. I came to eat yesterday and I asked why they where so short staffed, my server admitted to me that the MAJORITY of their employees are infested with COVID-19 ! That they have forced sick people to still come to work and a lot of their employees have tested positive for Covid. How are they ok with this. We as customers are being exposed to COVID-19 by these selfish companies. People are dying and if I get sick I promise I will not let this slide. I came in with my 80 year old grandmother how is this ok !? No one should be eating at this restaurant and if upper management is ok with that these employees and customers should be suing for this exposure! You people are disgusting and a disgrace to our community ! I will be contacting the health department and I'd like to have a word with HR. I'm beyond disappointed. You people are infested with Covid and this restaurant needs to be shut down !!! read more

This Hawthorne El Torito is AWFUL! We had a very bad experience in a special Sunday brunch on March 27, 2022 that we were waiting for 1h outside in a windy day and 30 mn inside waiting for a waiter to bring us the menu. They separated our group in 2 tables in South corner and North corner with NO menu and NO service. We were so hungry that my friends had to bring their kids to grab the food. We had to eat with FINGERS , waitresses and waiters walking around with their bottles of Champagne serving several tables except us. We were so mad that we had to complaint some young waitresses came to tell us that they don't have any more champagne however I saw they served several tables 6 times Champagne and some tables they put the bottle of Champagne that I should record it after 45 mn a nice waitress came over to give us some plastic forks and knives and Champagne too late. However the total bill for 3 Children and 4 Adults was $204.00 for A TERRIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD that we are not coming back anymore. We eat out day/night every day in the Restaurants and NO MORE EL TORITO. read more

I don't care what any of the negative comments say about this place. I was there Monday night with a friend and the lady at the front was AMAZING. I had arrived early n the hostess greeted me with a smile once I walked in. Ended up talking for a while since my friend was late n every person that came in that door was greeted the same way. Even when customers were leaving they would acknowledge her great service. Unfortunately I forgot to get her name. I just remember that she was wearing all black n a red scarf around her neck. But her service I will definitely remember. When my friend finally arrived she showed us our seats n her n the other workers were constantly asking if everything was good n if we needed anything. PERFECT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Food was great n exactly what I ordered. Thanks for the great service. Will definitely be coming back. Even if I go alone. Was helped on 04/21/2014 from 6-830pm I work at a restaurant in the airport n I wish all my coworkers were like the workers here. Friendly, polite, funny n service with a smile. Keep up the great work. read more

Edwardo is the BEST! Amazing service and incredible food. I recently dined at El Torito in Hawthorne and had an absolutely fantastic experience, largely thanks to our server, Edwardo. This man deserves a raise! He was attentive, friendly, and made sure our table had everything we needed without being overbearing. He had great recommendations and a wonderful attitude that really made the meal special. Now, for the food--we went all out and tried a bunch of things. We started with the birria tacos, which were perfectly crispy on the outside, dripping with cheese, and the consommé for dipping was rich and flavorful. The street tacos were classic and fresh, just the way they should be. For the mains, we got both the chicken fajitas and the chicken and shrimp fajitas. They arrived at the table sizzling and smelling incredible. The portions were huge, the chicken was tender, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. If you go to this El Torito, ask for Edwardo. He's the man! We left full and happy. 5 stars without a doubt read more

On Thursday my family went here for dinner . Our server Carlos G. came and introduced himself and took our drink orders . He returned with our drinks and placed to go cup tops on my little sister and my little cousin cups . What he didn't know was they both have autism . He was extremely kind bringing us things we requested to make sure they're comfortable. (My sister prefer a spoon over a fork ) he brought us or bill and asked how everything was , we thanked him and explain that our babies have autism and thanked him for being kind , patient and understanding. He shared he could relate due to his own family member having autism and that they deserve to be treated with respect like anyone else . It was a pleasure having him as our server , as well as him being understanding. We've been to several places where we were treated unkind due to them having meltdowns . Thank you Carlos again , I wanted to leave this review because at times were so quick to leave our bad experiences and not our great experiences read more

The food is usually solid the queso fundido and carne asada are favorites, and the drinks, especially the margaritas, tend to hit the mark. The atmosphere is festive and family-friendly, and I've had a few visits where the staff was attentive and welcoming, particularly servers like Julian and Eduardo who really went above and beyond. That said, the inconsistency in service makes it hard to fully recommend. I've also had visits where the host stand was unattended, we waited way too long to be seated, and certain staff seemed overwhelmed or indifferent. There have been issues with order accuracy and problems redeeming loyalty points, which is frustrating for regulars. Some team members are fantastic, but others clearly need better training or support. Overall, it's fine for a casual meal or Taco Tuesday if you're not expecting perfection. But if consistency and smooth service are important to you, your experience here might be hit or miss. read more

We recently visited El Torito with a group of 30 family members, and Ubaidina made the entire experience absolutely exceptional. Managing a table that size is no small feat, but Ubaidina handled it with incredible grace and organization -- not a single order went wrong! What truly set her apart was her warm, personable attitude. She had smiles and patience for everyone, from the little kids to the grandparents, making each person feel genuinely welcomed. Despite the sheer size of our group, service was fast and efficient -- drinks were refilled, food came out hot, and nothing felt chaotic thanks to her. Ubaidina is a true professional and a real asset to El Torito. We will absolutely be coming back, and we'll be requesting her by name. If you're planning a large group outing, this is your place and she is your person! read more

I couldn't believe my girlfriend never had El Torito before! Nevertheless, I had to bring her to try the amazing food. When we came into the restaurant we were greeted by a professional young lady who let us choose where we wanted to sit ( since she saw we would be studying). We were then greeted by our server Jose Duarte immediately. He was very attentive and even though we chose to sit in the back he never forgot about us. You can tell the people here work very hard to give you a great experience. The margarita was perfect (shout out to the bartender), the nachos were exactly what I hoped for, and the flan made everything that much better. Also, even though I've been to El Torito in the past, I realize now that it can be a great and productive study environment. Thank you Jose and the rest of the El Torito family... read more
