This was our 3rd year coming to El Torito for the holiday buffet. It's an excellent value and excellent service. Everyone here is so kind and it's always a good experience with good food. They also allow us to have our dog on the patio which makes it even better. We will keep coming back!!
The price for the weekend breakfast was ridiculous. I would have been able to buy a regular meal for far less.
My wife and I have gone to El Toritos 3 times in the last 3 months, and unfortunately our dinner last night was very mediocre compared to the first two times we were there. The drinks were overpriced. We each had a Cadillac Margarita and they were small and together the cost was $27.50. We both had combo plates of cheese enchiladas, refried beans and rice which were so so at best. The enchiladas were swimming in their red sauce and soggy. Our bill including tip was $84.37 which I feel was way more than the meal was worth. I seriously doubt we will be going back.
It was very loud to the point we could not hear each other. Service was highly stretched. Food came out very late and cold. Margheritas were weak. We have eaten there several times, and this was the worst experience. Hopefully it was an anomaly.
The service was okay , I had to request special seating multiple times for my large party . I came in a day before and the waiter that was there acted like he could not complete my request in reserving an area I preferred. The day of my actual party I asked to speak to a manager and they were able to fulfill my request. The food was not good, there were multiple people in my party that complained about the food being cold & my plate was also not the best with there being no flavor to my food . Overall I would not go back & I wish I would have chose a different restaurant for this special day of mine.
We had Sunday buffet here. It was very good and good service comparing with the other places.

I came in for brunch at El Torito and had the pleasure of being served by Juan Oliver. Hands down one of the best bartending experiences I’ve had in a long time! From the moment I sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience feel fun and effortless.
The drinks were spot on—perfectly balanced and made with care the mimosas and Bloody Marys were excellent!. What stood out most was how personable and professional they were. Even with a busy brunch crowd, they kept the energy upbeat, made sure everyone had what they needed, and never let a glass go empty.
You can tell they really take pride in what they do, and it made our brunch so much more enjoyable. If you’re coming here for brunch, definitely grab a seat at the bar—you’ll be in great hands!

Wow, Balerit made our evening at El Torrito truly unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, her warm, welcoming smile made us feel like home almost instantly. Her passion for the menu shone through her recommendations, especially the sizzling fajitas platter and the fresh guacamole, were spot-on and bursting with flavor. The vibrant atmosphere, with its colorful decor and lively energy, paired perfectly with our server’s attentive yet easygoing vibe. She checked in with just the right timing, always with a genuine laugh or kind word, making us feel so cared for. Balerit is a total star, and we can’t wait to come back for another amazing experience with her!
