Our server from the bar named Juan was outstanding

Our second visit since our first was so delicious. Hot homemade tortillas served with whipped butter. Great kids meals and they get an ice cream sundae! Awesome drink menu.

We’ve been coming here for a long time. This place is very tired and needs some updating.

Love love love El Torito Grill! I live about an hour away from the restaurant. And it worth the round trip every time. I have not had a dish I dislike but my favorite is the chicken taquitos, steak fajita salad, and a pork dish that I can never recall the name. I highly recommend.

good overall experience.

Food was excellent. Music too loud and if you can understand it, not suited for Mexican restaurant. As a result, customers have to speak very loud which made it more annoying.

EXCELLENT. From the atmosphere, servers, ambiance, nor to mention; its spacious. I arrived mid afternoon in a Saturday. There was party celebration on the beautiful patio, which is where I wanted to sit.However, the food was first rate. The drinks were strong and flavorful. They did have "Happy Hour" but I was a few hours early.Wonderful place to visit, say hello to José (the Bartender / Server.) Will absolutely be making another visit.

It was slow Monday night for the restaurant, but the service was very, very good. As always, the handmade tortillas came to the table steaming. All three entrees came out hot, good and ample in size (as usual we had to take things home). We were celebrating our granddaughter's 13th birthday and the complimentary flan was just the ticket. I feel that you can never go wrong going to El Torito...at least I've never gone wrong.

we had the amazing experience with the service by Jacob!!! Thank you!!

Haven’t been in a few years. Not at all what it used to be. Food was barely warm, came out at different times. Took at least 15 minutes to get silverware and appetizer plates, which took four attempts, reasons being the first set was dirty, and then took three more attempts, asking the manager, the busboy, and the server before someone remembered to bring them. Didn’t get any refills on our drinks till we had been finished with our food. They looked completely understaffed. This review is not based on our server. He tried his best with what he was dealt with. The poor servers were making their own drinks, bussing their own tables, and having to press their own tortillas. I even saw servers scrambling to look for clean plates and having to carry back empty dishwasher trays to search for more. We invited friends here for a nice dinner and were embarrassed for recommending the place. It was truly a disappointing visit and we won’t be returning.
