This was our 1st time trying the Thanksgiving Buffet and we thought it was great! They had a lot of food to select from in addition to traditional turkey and sides. So everyone in our party was happy. Plus the price for adults was very fair! The service was excellent. The reataurant was very orgsanized and didnt over book so there were enough tables and there really wasn't a line at the buffet which was great. We are definitely going to go back next year. And we highl recommend!

This is my second year going to the restaurant during thanksgiving. I loved everything, however, this time the person in charge of carving the turkey, which was very good, was only providing small pieces of turkey. I noticed how many people were asking for more. It felt as he did not want to serve us. The other thing was the mash potato, not my favorite. It was too sour. But everything else was great, a lot of food variety to choose from. We went to the Pasadena location.

Lively ambience! Taco Tuesday specials with handmade tortillas. Separate areas for your dining preferences ; sports TVs regular restaurant and banquet side. Go when Oscar is there! Stellar and attentive service and help from Karla! Excellent customer service and delicious food. Nothing like enjoying a Dodgers game from every angle. Plenty of parking ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Most of the food was good. Service was delayed since the moment we entered & the place was pretty empty so there was no reason for any waiting but eventually got helped & everyone was nice. Food was most definitely pricey.

I was looking for a good Mexican restaurant in the area and found one. The beef tacos, chicken enchilada and chili relleno were excellent. The rice was fresh cooked, properly prepared and not squeezed out of a plastic bag like our neighborhood restaurant. The refried beans were good. The small scoop of sweet cornbread was marvelous. I hadn’t had a blended margarita with salted rim in years; thought I’d died and gone to Heaven-so good! The staff were friendly and attentive. I wish we had this restaurant near us at home.

Went with my beautiful best friend and got the on fire fajitas, chicken and steak. Man it was so good. Unfortunately I couldn't finish them because I filled up on chips and salsa. Salsa is delicious also. Had a strawberry soda with my meal. My girl got some marinated tacos. Hers was good as well. I was really impressed with taste of the food. I will definitely be going back before the fajitas leave the menu.

Came for Sunday Brunch and sat at the bar. Serena took care of me and my friends. There's a live mariachi and a wide assortment of food.

Highly recommend visiting El Torito in Pasadena for Sunday brunch. It’s the perfect place to enjoy brunch with your family and catch a football game. Service from Carlos was on point—-quick and great service! Thank you, Carlos for the excellent service.

Service was awful! Bill was wrong. We sat there and waited for drinks we never got. Only came to us once to see if we were ok. The fan that was on was so loud we couldn't hear one another talk and it was blowing right in our faces.

The brunch buffet was an excellent surprise! The variety was expansive, and the food all looked fresh. For $24 a person it was a bargain!
