Thank you...keep up good work read more

Service is horrible. Was waiting for a to-go order and the manager (bald guy) was rude and didn't even try to check on the order. Rest of staff followed. When I got the order it was warm so it had been done for a while. read more

Took the family to dinner on the pier. Thanks Jorge for the great service. Took care of my son after I ordered something with onions that I didn't realize it had. Went above and beyond, would definitely be back! Also, Great view of the water read more

Went for Sunday brunch and I honestly had the best experience ever. I honestly loved our server Juan Patino great personality and was very attentive. Definitely Will be back soon. read more

I had always enjoyed the Sunday brunch buffet here. Just this Sunday, we had celebrated my husband's birthday. Every staff is friendly and accommodating.... it looked like it was a big family owned business. The service is impeccable. From the front greeter to our server, Edward. The tacos are good. Although the chorizo i find a little bit salty. The ceveche is good. Never skip on the colorado beef and the egg with crispy tortilla underneath. The dessert selection can have a little room for improvement. Over all, the restaurant atmosphere and customer service is why this place deserves a 5 star! read more

This place is f***ing bullshit. Discriminating people on the way they look. Went in to have a drink and dinner with my boyfriend only to be told he "looked" like he had been drinking so they couldn't serve him. I understand policies very well. However, we were sober as can be. No signs of intoxication besides them thinking he looked under the influence of alcohol. Didn't smell like alcohol, not acting out, and being very polite waiting to be attended. The staff was very pathetic and unprofessional. The bartender approached us with a smirk on her face stating she couldn't serve him anything. She's lucky I didnt slap the smirk off her face. Which at that point I was fairly upset at the situation and how they handled it. Management did nothing to help fix the situation. Which is why I took my service elsewhere and will not be going back to their locations. They should really consider some professional and ethical customer service training. This place is a damn JOKE! If I could give a no star rating I would. read more

Came here with out of town visitors to show them an awesome experience at the Pier. Views at El Torrito are gorgeous but that's about where the pleasant experience ended. Waiter was so slow at taking our order and was basically obsolete during our entire visit. I got one of the salads and the chicken was very chewy and had a horrific taste. Needless to say I ordered something else instead. Only come here for the views and expect to stay for about 2 hours unwillingly because staff is so slow. Very disappointed because I have eaten at different El Torrito's before and have never had a bad experience. read more

The best place to go and enjoy the home sphere with the family at the restaurant, or with the friends at the bar and have the best appetizers with of course the best margaritas the serve. I really recommend this place to anyone out here. read more

There is no better place in the South Bay to enjoy a tasty Mexican meal the El Torito's on the Redondo Pier! The views are inspiring and the energy is palpable. Jorge served us and kept platters of food and refilled drinks coming. The Manager Oscar runs a tight ship and the whole staff was friendly and efficient. If you are looking for a good meal at a good price with world class views come and check out ET's! read more

Taco Tuesday was great here! Not too mention their coconut margaritas are AMAZING!! And last but not least the staff is awesome! Our waiter had Great customer service and although they were busy kept checking up on us, and Jessica their photographer was Great also she took a group picture of the group of friends I was there with and gave us a sample post card of the pictures she took! Really nice girl and super friendly! Overall we had a good experience! read more

Great customer service! Waitress Elizabeth was really nice and professional. Good clean fun, with a great view

The views are beautiful. But the food choices are very limited. Not at all what other El Torito Sunday brunch. The staff is very nice, the place clean but since I've been to a few other El Toritos, this one left me disappointed in the selection it offered. read more

Last night I went to celebrate my moms birthday with like a party of 20 people ! The view is amazing ! Also shoutout to our waiter Fernando he did an outstanding job and thanx again for everything you were treating us like kings We all had a great and wonderful night the food was also really good ! Overall just a great experience the vibe was great . read more

Love the food here. Prices are good and they give AAA discounts. The view is also the best in Redondo Beach. I'm in my 50's and have lived in Redondo Beach all my life. My wife and I walk and ride our bikes here often. The new young manager Alfonso Gloa is a real "go getter" who totally goes out of his way to please you. He comes with fresh new ideas for the restaurant (which is very much needed) and adds a real spark to the place. Also, Jan Patino is another Manager there who is fantastic! He makes the BEST Skinny Margaritas I have EVER had! We choose to go to this restaurant often just because of his cocktails! Great job guys and thanks for always being there El Torito's! read more

Experience was good a lil bit of a wait but Food was good and the server George was great.

We went for taco Tuesday and it was great. The tortillas are fresh the tacos were good the service was great i dont remember his name but he was on top of it. The view was nice and you cant beat the prices especially for happy hour. After we ate and drank we went for a walk on the pier to finish off a nice evening. read more

One of our favorite places to have Sunday Brunch. Food is great and the Mimosa's are never ending. We always request to sit in Roberto's section, he's funny and on point every week! Add in the stunning view and you have one amazing day planned for you! read more

My experience today at El Torito, located in Redondo Beach was awesome! The Sunday Brunch was to die for. You definitely get your monies worth. The service is top notch at this location. Our waitress was very attentive and consistently refilled our beverages. The management staff was very active on the floor. Alfonso, the manager, asked us how our food and the service was thus far. He also asked, if there was anything else we needed or if we had any suggestions. It's good to see management involved on the floor and not sitting somewhere hiding in the back office. I definitely will be returning to this specific location in the near future. read more

Great El Torito location. Amazing view cascading out over the pier. Overall fantastic ambience. Jorge was our server. Very knowledgeable of the food and promotions. Very accommodating for my wife and our 2 year old daughter. Tamales were awesome. Street tacos with their hand made tortillas stellar. Guacamole was very fresh. Great experience read more

I've been here several times...enjoy the location, view and atmosphere. I'd also like to take a moment to say, our server "ED" (older white gentleman) was AWESOME!!! ...and on top of his game! I called the manager over and had to share how pleased we were with Ed's services. Kudos Ed! ...and El Torito for hiring him. read more

We had a very nice experience at this restaurant! The food was great and our waiter Jessica was fantastic in helping my uncle, who was not familiar with Mexican style food, select the right dish. All around a great experience! read more

We had a fantastic evening at El Torito in Redondo Beach at the pier. Carlos L was our server and from start to finish was attentive, engaging, humorous and thorough. Made our evening A hit. Definitely will keep coming back here for enjoyable times. read more

Went here for dinner, and our server, Norma, was excellent; friendly and attentive. The large windows provide a beautiful view of the beach. The food was great, and did not take long to prepare. Recommended. Can't wait to eat here again. Thanks Norma!!! read more

We had a great late lunch today. The food was exceptional .. the service by George and the follow up checking at the table by the manager Matthew was friendly and outstanding. We never asked for any extra refills or anything it was as if George knew exactly what we were anticipating that we needed we would highly recommend visiting this restaurant often whether you live locally or you're visiting from out of town the views are unbelievable! read more

El Torito is a chain but this one is a lot of fun especially on the weekends during the brunch buffet. The bottomless mimosa and good food makes it a special occasion since it overlooks the ocean with an expansive view of the water and the Palms Verdes Peninsula. Juan at el Torito is particularly professional and genuinely a nice guy! read more

Juan Carrillo was an excellent bartender! Great service, strong drinks, quick service! Thank you Juan!!

So I brought my family on a nice warm summer eve. We stand in the door and the hostess tells us that it was a one hour wait kitchen is not working properly blah blah blah. So we decided to take a seat in a corner five of us in the bar. We weren't sure whether we wanted to sit here as we came to get a nice beach view. Then we were greeted by a wonderful waitress by the name of Angela. she took care of my family and I she was excellent professional smiling person and just a pleasure. We decided to stay cooped up in the corner only because of this young lady Angela. Excellent service by her not only would I keep an employee like that but I would promote her right away. Thank you so much for your wonderful service Angela it was definitely obvious that you took pride in representing where you work. Thank you million a times again Angela you were awesome. From the family of five in the corner. read more

We had Jessica as our server and she was very very nice and on point we come here and I would like her to be our server again thank you Jessica for making a great birthday day for my wife. read more

We have lived in the So Bay for a long time and have been going to El Torito on the Redondo Pier since the '70s. So, this past Friday we went for the great view, the normally good for a large chain restaurant food, and some margaritas. Well, we were all thoroughly disappointed in every aspect of the experience except the view. The service was extremely slow and inattentive. The food was delivered semi warm and was fair at best. My buddy and I ordered the Chile Verde and it was served in shredded carnitas style with green sauce poured over. This is a sloppy and ill-prepared way to serve this classic dish which should be cubed pieces of pork slow cooked in verde sauce. Our wives were equally dissatisfied with their food which obviously had been sitting at the serving window getting cold. Although, we regularly go to the Manhattan Beach branch for Sunday Brunch and will continue to do so, we will not be returning to the Redondo Pier branch. read more

This place has the most amazing flan! Their Black Diamond Margaritas are the best margaritas in Redondo. Wanted to give a shout-out to Damian, our server, who was super-friendly and really took great care of us. Thanks for being awesome, Damian! read more

This place is very nice for any occasion, they have very good food and amazing service, Carlos helped us with anything we needed and more.

Kristen is an excellent bar tender. I go in Sunday's and I always see her working very hard, I was there on the 19th of this month and she was the only one in the bar. She was very sweet and attentive, I noticed she kept a smile on her face the entire time which is awesome customer service. She should definitely get a promotion, keep the awesome job and thank you for your great customer service read more

My kids and I just visited this location for our first time. The service was magnificent. The staff was under the pump, as it was Sunday brunch. However, our server Anna was amazing. She is definitely worth requesting upon your visit. My family and I will be visiting this restaurant again in the near future. Keep up the good work. read more

Great dinner Experience for my Moms Birthday. Jasmine was a very great waiter and served my family well throughout our dinner. She made sure we were good throughout the night and the food was great. We would definitely come back. read more

Danilo our server was great, the food was tastey and original. ....

Sunday afternoon after a very long bike ride! Allowed us to put our bikes inside, which is more than a lot of places are willing to do! Happened to hit Happy Hour; food was great, drinks perfect, good service and view is amazing! Great place, will see you soon! Thanks again :-) read more

Patricia was a great server! She went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of. Make sure to ask for her next time.

The worse service. We decided to celebrate National Tequila day yesterday, big mistake going to this place, the Bar tender Aida was not attentive to are needs, she had a flat affect. We asked for tequila to celebrate she did not offered the variety that they have. We asked for 2 drinks and she took a long time to bring them. Don't waste your time going there. They have a beautiful view. read more

the sunday buffet is excellent, all you can eat. great caddies, chips and quesadillas at the bar. read more

I promised the new manager a 5 star review. The food was great. We had some issues with the bill during happy hour and the new manager resolved them in a professional manner. Thank you El Torito. Happy New Year!! read more
