The food here is served not hot. Pretty pricey for food that is meant to be affordable. The chips and salsa tasted sour. I knew my food was going to be mediocre when I saw the menu. Typical Acapulco's anywhere u go. Nothing special, wasted a lot more than my time here.

Plenty of seating outdoor and 6 feet apart. They have a pretty good happy hour menu. Ordered some appetizers on the happy hour menu and not one complaint. Great environment.

Different flavors for a Mexican restaurant they do something different with the steak street tacos but overall not bad. Made it during yappy hour so decided to try the signature Margarita which didn't taste any different then a margarita from Chili's. The blended strawberry was good. I bought the regular on ice. Locations is beautiful. The kids burger wasn't cooked all the way through but just ask for week

We went for the Mexican Independence Day (September 16,2020). It was so much fun. We were seated right away. Our server Victor Perez was AWESOME! He was not only in a great mood but he was courteous and made sure we were taken care of. He got our appetizer out quickly and anything we needed he took care of it quick. Please ask for him! He's the best. Also they have a DJ on Tuesdays and the jams were great. Totally recommend them but please ask for victor Perez. He definitely will take care of you!

El Torito, I didn't really go to El Torito too much prior to the Pandemic, but I go a lot now, and it's all thanks to all of the email offers and reminders you sent me. I decided to take you up on your food offers, and now I love El Torito! The food is always delicious! I visit your restaurant once a week now, instead of just once every year, or two, or three. Thanks for emailing food offers and making it more affordable through tough times. You have a customer for life.

I love El Toritos happy hour because it is cheap BUT what makes my experience the best thing ever was Victor Perez. He knew what type of night/ what I needed to have. My cup was never empty and my chips were full. He was on it all the time. Thanks Victor!!

My husband and I have been coming to this El Torito for years and have never had service like we had today. Victor P was the best server we have ever had! He even pointed out a drink that I was really excited to try and had them make it without cucumber for me. He was extremely quick with our orders, brought us items right away and was SO KIND! He made us comfortable by social distancing and his friendly attitude honestly made our entire experience. Couldn't say kinder words about him!

I placed an online order for delivery, crispy Chicken Flautas are the description on the menu but what I got was soggy gross something because I can't even call them flautas. I've done a lot of online ordering and with everything that's going on, it makes it very convenient but I am Very disappointed with this order. Will stick to other restaurants from now on.

Victor Perez was a great server. Very attentive and friendly. Will be back. Social distancing was enforced along with servers wearing masks. Felt very safe in this environment.

We went here on a Friday night and the wait was not that bad. Around an hour. They have outdoor seating and it seems like it is 6 ft apart from each other. They had a happy hour menu. The margaritas are amazing! Love the Midori Margarita... delish! The service was good. The staff was very friendly!

Showed up at 7:17pm Made a reservation for 730 on open table and was told that we would have to wait for 35 minutes. The person said That they would try to accommodate us that it's hard to keep Up to date with the reservations. So we waited and still was notCalled. Ended up going somewhere else.

Dinner was good like always and I'm glad they had outside dining this Thursday for my brothers birthday.There was 7 of us having dinner and our waiter Victor Perez took very good care of us. Very attentive to what needed. The man has great customer service and we didn't lack a thing.This El Torito has great customer service. I had the chimichanga and it was very good.My brother enjoyed his wet burrito and the kids loved their food, the wife enjoyed her vegetarian plate and the flan is excellent.Definitely coming back. The only thing that would make the experience even better is if they can do something about the flies, but that's an issue everywhere with dining outside and it being summer.
