As a native of Southern California, I humbly concede that I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to…read moreMexican food. Weather enjoying a Carne Asada burrito at one of the fast food stands that ends in -erto's, enjoying a meal at long, gone places like Acapulco, or bellying up to some swanky new wave fusion place with rainbow colored tortilla chips and "salsa flights," I've tried them all. So when I say that El Torito bar and Grill is a good Mexican food restaurant, that should mean something. Moreover, is someone who has visited 49 of the 50 states by car, with a family of five in tow, we've definitely stopped at our fair share of Mexican food restaurants... Some of them were amazing, and some of them were no Bueno. But this place is an honest to goodness, authentic Mexican food restaurant. Your first clue: the rice and beans. I know, they come with everything... But if you don't know how to make real rice and beans, the rest of it really doesn't matter. This place knows what's up. The burritos, Carne Asada, fajitas, combination plates with things like enchiladas and chile rellenos-- everything here is delicious. Modestly priced, but for the only game in town place, it's a pretty good deal at 20 or 30 bucks a head. Service has always been very good, and the shot of tequila when they bring the bill out is always a nice touch, especially as you're about to include the propina. :) The vibe inside is laid-back, with casual visitors, families, and groups like us... People visiting from out of town who are here to enjoy some local fishing, and the welcoming comfort of local business. Just a few steps from our favorite hotel in town, we will always plan to enjoy at least one evening meal here together when we visit Omak.

The restaurant itself is taking on a fresh new look and the ambience is special. If you are looking for an exceptional meal, try one of their combination offerings. Prices are decent and the portions are more than adequate. Expect to be greeted at the door by either Homaro or Teresa and seated at a clean and comfortable booth or table. You will love the abundent supply of salsa, green cabbage and basket of chips. Margaritas are a fantastic drink to compliment your meal. Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Omak. You will find the El Portal, in the shopping center close to the Safeway super market.

Not bad; absolutely inedible. Wife said it had a distinct cooked in rancid old cooking oil taste. Both had fried rice. Looked like fried rice, but near mush consistency. Flavor was bland. My sweet and sour chicken was just, ok. Once the dry unglazed pieces at the bottom were dredged into the pooled sauce. It seems the cook got lazy. Last time for us. This makes about 3 out of about 6 times we threw something major out. That's on us. We had hope. PS, you can see by the reviews that something changed since six years ago. But the current posts are consistently bad. Stay away.

Liked both a lot. Pork was especially tasty. Rice and beans were good. I like my beans a little saltier but I also realize these are more authentic. We will be back many more times!!!

I waited a few minutes and then finally walked to the bar and asked if I could order food to go. She said yes went and got her order pad and came back. I told her I would need a menu. I ordered a full Caesar Salad, an order of fish and chips and 2 desserts as I was taking home to share. The salad was the SMALLEST full Caesar Salad I had ever seen. It was not a side salad it was suppose to be an entree salad and it was maybe literally 1 cup of salad. I was asked what kind of dressing and I said ??Caesar?? I assumed because it was to go the dressing would be on the side. And yes there was a sside of dressing but there was no need for it because the salad was already dressed and I'm assuming that it had been done hours before because the lettuce was soggy so no need for the extra dressing. Now for the fish and chips! Burnt is the only way to describe. I'm thinking both the sweet potato fries and the fish went straight from the fryer into the to go box because the fries that were under the burnt fish were swimming in grease. The condiment container inside this box were 2 bites of warm cabbage that I believe was a mild attempt at coleslaw. For dessert we had the lemon curd cake and the carrot cake, they were good but probably because they are not made in house. I did call and voice my disapproval which is something I normally wouldn't do but I felt for the $$$ I spent and the lack of food (especially the salad) I couldn't let this one slide. My phone was pretty much met with a "so what" attitude and I was, in not so blunt words, looking for a free meal!! No, I was actually just looking for a meal and not an appetizer. I was also told they pre-portion all their food. I've never heard of anyplace that pre-portions salad! Maybe salad toppings but not really lettuce. I was told I could bring it back and maybe I would have but it was dark, 32°, the roads were icy and risking my life because they can't get it right was not in my plans. I will never eat here again and will not recommend this to anyone. If your staying at 12 Tribes Casino Hotel in Omak just be aware there are wayyyyy better places to eat in the Omak/Okanogan area that serve size appropriate for an entree, not burnt and swimming in grease and have top notch customer service!!!

The menu has something for everyone and is really good quality food. See photos attached. Very good sweet potato fries! Don't let this being in the casino scare you off. Does it have a faint smoke smell? Yes. But it also has great tables, a nice bar, honestly lovely ambience. There is a stage for when they have live music. Entertainment schedule is on the casino website I believe. Our server was very kind and attentive and we got to know her story during our visit. I really hope this spot gets the love it deserves because I love this for Omak and for the community. I will definitely be back!
