I'm totally shocked, this was a great location good food and service and the waiters and waitresses were very friendly and we never had to wait to be seated

Goodbye el Torito No one told us you were going to close. You guys were open for Thanksgiving and then closed by Taco Tuesday after that. I will miss Maria the server and Juan the bartender most of all. How do you close and make people lose their jobs a month before Christmas?? Praying for you all. :( Bummed.

I'm a little later in writing this review and have seen that it states that this location has been closed ..... PLEASE!!! Say that's not so!!!!! Dear Mario, Our Family had THEE BEST THANKSGIVING with You & Your Staff, EVER!!!!! I've been hosting it at our house for 35 years .....our group of 18 adults and 4 children enjoyed everything Armando and staff were extremely, service oriented. The food -ALL OF IT was HOT, FRESH & YUMMY Hugs HUGS HUGS. The family all came back to our home after and I was able to actually enjoy all of them, for once... since you all took care of everything I'm stopping by ( it is Taco Tuesday) To hopefully-personally Thank You..... I sure hope you're all there-We all talked about coming back next year for Thanksgiving.

El Torito has been the same for years. It's good not amazing. Sizzling fajitas are my go to! The margaritas are not that strong at all. Still, a cool place to relax and watch a game. Grab a coupon!

My experience today was less than pleasing and here's why: upon entering the restaurant, my party and I were seated at a table that wasn't completely clean. The host cleaned the table, seated us and advised that our server would be with us soon. The server was very kind, although he brought us salsa with broken chips, and tried his hardest to keep us happy. We ordered blended strawberry margaritas (which weren't tasty) and tableside guacamole (which had no taste). During our visit, an individual who appeared disheveled and lost, walked through the restaurant and by our table mire than 3x. His constant pacing and picking up random food to eat, made me feel very uncomfortable. We managed to finish our meal but I didn't enjoy it because this individual made me real uneasy. Prior to paying our bill, we spoke with another server and he advised us that he didn't know what we were talking about and that he had not seen who we were talking about. The server advised that he would tell his manager about the incident. While he was finding his manager the man walked in AGAIN and we tried to tell the server but was met being told that, "there's nothing we can do". I'm sorry, there's nothing you can do? A random man going through the restaurant, walking back and forth over MY food and there is NOTHING that can be done?? Are you serious? I asked to speak to the manager and was told by the manager that he would "keep an eye out" for anymore suspicious activity. My bill was $85 and there is nothing that can be done? Bad service. Unwanted company. No accountability? Will I visit again? That's a NO!

My family has gone to this El Torito for years and regularly go to Taco Tuesday. The manager Rodrigo is the best! He offers exceptional customer service, and visits customers at tables to ensure your meal is delicious and that you and your family are having a great experience. He runs the restaurant really well. I highly recommend this El Torito location because of the great management, great service, and great food!

The manager Carmen she is The Best She made me feel like I was at home ,she reminded me of my mom when I would be bring guest over opening her home to everyone ,Great Food too and my Margaritas were Amazing
I truly love coming to this El Toritos not only is the staff friendly but the Restaurant manager Mario is always seems to be going above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed. My family and I truly love coming to this location. The food is great and the atmosphere makes you feel as if you are visiting a relative at their home. Manhattan Beach El Toritos is definitely my favorite one!

Came here for Taco Tuesday. Service from Maria S and from the staff serving tacos was great. The ladies serving tacos were very kind and make taco Tuesday great. Maria was attentive, friendly and informed us of the happy hour specials. Came here for happy hour margaritas but they tasted more like frozen lemonades. I am completely unwilling to come back and pay full price for watered down margaritas with basically no tequila. DO NOT TRY THE ESQUITES!!!! We tried the esquites and they were inedible. Half the cup they serve it in is onions that take the taste away from the corn. Overall, the staff is great and they provide great service but we were not satisfied with the food/drinks.

My boyfriend and I had a great time today at El Torito. The initial male staff who took our drink orders was friendly, approachable and even made us laugh. When server Maria took over, we were equally pleased. She was professional, easy going and warm. She gave us great service! Thank you El Torito staff for a wonderful Labor Day!
