chips were cold and tasted stale...did not have mild dip for chips, only hot dip. food was ok, bit just barely warm. service was very good.

Great service and food was so good. I got the waffles with honeybutter, maple syrup, fruit and bacon. My guy got the carnitas & bacon breakfast fries with a sunny side up egg on top and pico de gallo.We also got free chips and salsa and a side of sour cream ($2).Our server was pretty attentive and was there when we needed him. I like that!Place is awesome looking since the renovation. Check out pics!

Been long time I've been Ek Torito loved it!..I will be back Happy Hour in Sherman oaks

The waitress was friendly. Food took almost an hour to come out, and the restaurant was pretty empty.

The waitress was new it was her first day she did well and was friendly

It was graduation night so service was a bit slow. Almost an hour before we had food. Server was friendly but it didnt seem that busy that drinks etc should have taken that long. Food was excellent! So were the cadillac margaritas

Reservations were not acknowledged including request for a booth. Aware never a guarantee but an acknowledgment would e been appreciated.

Love this place ❤️ food is superb and service was great tonight. Lucely was so kind and attentive, always checking in to see if I needed anything and service was prompt. She treats you with such kindness and professionalism. Extremely happy with it all ? Ordered Carnitas nachos and they were so yummy as well as the Cheesecake banana chimi ? and the Cadillac Margaritas are the best in town!

We got there and the hostess sat us right away. There was no available table so she sat us on a table that's been dirtied by the previous customer. Instead of having us wait in the waiting area. We waited for about 5 mins she came back and wiped the table . She wiped everything to the floor. And now the floor is dirty with all kinds of food crumbs that wiped off the table. See photos:This place is dirty idk how they passed the health inspection and got an A rating.Just look at the look at the photos of the floor under the seat and the walls looks like they never clean or wipe it offService is also horrible.Idk who this place has 4 stars on Google.They sat us on a dirty table.It took them about 15 mins or so before they took our order.No napkins or utensils given. We had to ask.The food tastes mediocre.Who knows how they prepared the food.Just go somewhere .

It was okay. I was disappointed that the buffet was not self-serve. They were short-staffed, creating long lines, or no one at all manning stations. The servers at stations made me feel rushed to choose what I wanted and then put way more than I wanted on my plate, and then quickly moving on to the next person. When I go to a buffet, I like to take small portions of many different items so I don't fill up too quickly. The food itself was very tasty. The table service was very good. The gentleman taking care of our table was very attentive -- always there to remove a plate or refresh a drink. Not sure that I would return for brunch.
