    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

    Soup
    Christi I.

    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.

    The customer service was great! The happy hour menu was so good and the drinks were nice and strong! This is a great place to get a bang for your buck! Taco Tuesday and happy hour ! The DJ played great hip hop and rnb music. Please visit ! The manager JC was so great and he served us personally! We will be back.

Yes, the music was a little loud at first, but after a bit, it blended into the background and actually added to the energy of the place. We ordered wings (multiple sets, because one round was not enough) and a burger with fries. Let me tell you--the lemon pepper wings deserve their own standing ovation. Crispy, tangy, and absolutely addictive. The burger and fries? Spot on comfort food. To top it off, it was comedy night. I went from cheering for the Dodgers to full-on belly laughs in the same night. Bonus points for having nonalcoholic options--I had a Heineken 0.0 dressed, and it was perfect. My guy was happy with his drinks too, so win-win. Honestly, this place turned into one of those fun, random experiences you don't plan but end up remembering. Good food, good laughs, good game--what more can you ask for?

I had multiple servers look at me and disgust while trying to order or would blatantly stare me in my eyes and then take another person's order over mine. I was walking home from work and just wanted to stop by this place because I had never been and boy was it the biggest mistake of my life. I've been in places that were crowded, but this place was honestly a safety hazard. Everyone is shoving and pushing. It's terrible. When I was finally able to order after being ignored for 20 minutes, all of my food came out cold and I had to send the drinks back because it looked like there was something in it. If you plan on going here, go there at your own risk.

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.
