I made reservations online for 11:45 and they said they are cleaning up the tables. I asked a second time and it was the same thing. We weren't seated until 12:20. Then what is the whole point in reservations. The food wasn't that great this time. Their system was down to pay. They had to take card information.

It used to be so much better; now lower quality, the food was cold when we arrived for brunch. will never go again.

The food was great, and the service was even better. Cynthia was awesome, welcoming and just a great person.

Celebrating a birthday, party of 4. Seated on time, very friendly staff. Food was all good and very inexpensive for offerings compared to other places. Had a nice experience, I recommend based on excellent service and cost. Food above average. We all enjoyed ourselves!

Had a reservation but could not be seated for 45 minutes (as front desk admitted) due to overbooking. Even then our group of 8 for a birthday party was split into two separate tables. We will not be returning.

The table side guacamole was fresh & flavorful, the chips & fresh tortillas were very good but the rest of the food was just ok. With SO many choices for amazing Mexican food around I wouldn't go back.

Some of the food was not great. The waitress was very bad, but still left her a tip.

The waitress was somewhat rude and blamed another staff member for why we didn't receive tortilla chips or tortillas. When I placed my order, she made it seem like substitutions weren't allowed and that I couldn't add rice and beans. She repeatedly said, “It comes the way you see it, that's it”

We were seated 50 min after reservation time. Service was extremely slow. And my fajita that is supposed to come out sizzling was cold.

We enjoyed very good food, good service, and a good experience, in spite of the high noise level due to a very large Thanksgiving crowd.
Great Thanksgiving experience. Food was excellent and service was amazing. Not too many people to be over crowded but enough people to keep the food replenishment coming.

Ok I'd like to have btr to say but HUGE disappointment all around. While I was seated rt away no one came to take my order for 14 mins & it was not crowded yet. Then my friend joined & it took another 20 for anyone to take her drink order, again no crowd yet. After drinks waiter did check back. Food & drinks were a good price but food was very bland & cold. Worst part was they noticed her bday gift & brought flan; we didn't ask for it & then put it on the bill! WHO DOES THAT?! UNREAL‼️

Our Server, Sergio, was outstanding...the best. So attentive and so kind. He knew exactly what we needed before we could even ask for it. We let the Assistant Manager know how pleased we were, as well because we wanted to share our positive experience with her personally. We've been going to El Torito Grill - Brea for; I'd say, 12 years and it just keeps getting better; in fact, better more recently I'd say in the past few visits. My husband took me there for my 65th Birthday (10/19) as we usually go for Holiday events and I'd have to say "thank you" for the yummy Brunch dining experience. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Bowe

The food was delicious. There was so many food choices didn't know where to start. The menudo was great and so were the tacos with homemade tortillas. Our waiter, Sergio was fantastic! I recommend this place.
