    My dad with his Yaamava hat
    Christina A.

    My dad and I stopped in after a trip to San Manuel Casino, a.k.a. Yaamava. We had the best experience ever. They were playing our jams on the overhead music. Jorge is the best waiter ever he is so sweet and polite. The food was fantastic. My father got a cheeseburger and fries and I got the fajitas with steak and shrimp. My dad also got the Cadillac margarita and I got a piña colada and they were both absolutely delicious.

    We frequent this El Torito a lot and it hits every time! Shout out to Stephanie H. in the restaurant and Daniela in the Cantina. I appreciate their excellent customer service and great attitudes. Keep up the great work!

    LOVED STEPHANIE best ever service quick turnaround:) we will be back thank you drinks were good food was bomb

    Vampiros Tacos with Chicken order a side of Consommé and thank me later ;)
    Malina C.

    The Vampiros tacos (chicken or steak) are one of the best dishes that El Torito has to offer. I suggest you order a side of consommé just to take the flavor up a notch. The tacos come with a very generous portion of guacamole, pico de gallo, and a slightly spicy, warm red sauce that comes on the side. The tacos are accompanied by the usual sides of Mexican rice, frijoles de la olla (whole pinto beans), and corn cake. We came during lunch and it wasn't particularly busy, but there were a few tables that were occupied. Service from Umaro was average, not bad nor good. He was impatient and wanted to rush us to order. I had to respectfully ask him to give us a minute. They also offer a lunch buffet for $16.50 each weekday from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm. If you're not a fan of buffets, you can order from the menu. They have full-sized dinner entrees and a lunch menu with smaller portioned entrees. Overall, the meal was delicious and I will definitely be back to order it again in the future when I am craving tacos.

Portions were good, and the prices were fair, especially for how much you get. The vibe was fun without feeling forced. Good music, games on, just an easy place to relax and enjoy yourself. Shoutout to Yami and Yoselin ( not sure if I spelled that right) both were super friendly and attentive. They made everything feel smooth and welcoming without overdoing it. Just genuine service, good energy, and that makes a difference. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Our group of six was seated quickly, but our drinks took 30 to 40 minutes to be served, and our food never arrived. After waiting 1 hour and 30 minutes, we inquired about our order, but no one had an answer until about 10 minutes later, when the manager came out saying the waitress had lost our food ticket. SMH, very disappointing. We decided to close the tab and leave to find dinner elsewhere. Don't waist your money here on food on our way out the door we seen people sitting down complaining about how the food was disgusting and they waiting a very long time to get served nasty unflavored expensive food!!!!!!! Just go elsewhere! 0 STARS
