Had reservations for 5:30 pm. Restaurant was not full however it took a while to get our food. Server was great and attentive.

The Christmas buffet had a very nice spread of food with diverse choices (generally Mexican-themed because it's a Mexican restaurant, duh). Service was middling because the place was packed and the staff was struggling to keep up, but it's Christmas so I am grateful they are working at all. All in all I enjoyed it and I didn't feel too packed while getting food and the food was consistently stocked and fresh. My biggest complaint is that it was very, VERY hot in the restaurant! All they needed to do was open the windows/doors and turn off the heaters if they were on and we would not have been so hot. But it's a great value for Christmas buffet and I would return again.

The food wasn't as good as expected. Our first batch of chips tasted stale like they were fried in old oil. It was Tuesday so we ordered tacos from the taco bar. The meat was sitting in a ton of grease and didn't look like good meat. Stomach ache waiting to happen. That's when we turned around and ordered something different. The price was good because it was happy hour but their plain margaritas weren't that great. I don't think we will go back.

Excellent service and excellent food for a fantastic wonderful Thanksgiving buffet. And our server and bartender Jorge R. was a five star server that made us so happy on a Thanksgiving evening without our family.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went for Thanksgiving Brunch. Quality of food was not very good. Turkey carving was amateur. Restaurant and serving area was understaffed. If it was a simple option I'd request a refund.

We went to brunch and everything was exceptional. Authentic Mexican food, some prepared and some cooked to order. The flavors were spiced without being too hot. Lots of variety and festive environment. I saw families and couples. It was $100 for two people with two margaritas- kind of pricy but a nice treat.

There was no one to greet us when we walked in. We went to the bar top, thinking the service would be fast. There were about 5 people behind the bar and they weren’t busy at all. As soon as I sat down, it took them about 10 minutes before they even took my drink order. Keep in mind the whole time we had been ignored. Once we got our drinks, we were waiting for them to bring us food menus or even ask if we were going to have dinner there. We didn’t get a food menu for about 30 minutes. I had to stop one of the bartenders just to get a menu. Then they never came back to check to see if we wanted to order anything. Again, I had to stop one of them to ask if we could order some dinner. Once our order was taken, our food arrived about 20 minutes after. The corn cake was greasy and soggy. The salad just didn’t taste right. I had shared the salad with my friend. We both tried a little bit of it and it was not good. I had to ask them to adjust the check. It was the worst service and worst quality food I’ve ever had at an El Torito. I left a zero dollar tip because that’s what they deserved. Never coming back to this location again.

Our server Hector was amazing. Kept the minosas full at all times and made sure our family had everything we needed at brunch.

The food is always delicious. I was looking forward to the green pozole and tacos and they were so good as always. The staff was professional and attentive to clearing plates and checking on us.
