The food was great. I expected it to be crowded and noisy. It wasn't. But the service was the worst I have ever had. Our server came in and took a simple order for drinks four waters and a Diet Coke. About 25 minutes later, the Diet Coke came. Two of my guests ordered cocktails to celebrate. They never came never came. Finally this lady shows up with two cocktails in her hand and says hello. I'm the bartender these have been sitting on the counter for about 1015 minutes. You wanna taste them and see if they're OK if not, I'll make you brand new ones. Bartender gets 100 points. I have been in a catering business and the food service business for 40 years. First time in my life I have never left a tip. Complain to management. They were very nice and invited us back to dinner. We're still thinking about it

A good place to go. The Sunday branch was great, I loved the layout, and they had alot of different food to choose from. It was well worth the price.

Area is slated for redevelopment so they're not maintaining well. Bathroom was filthy, table bench was broken, dead fly on windowsill, but we enjoyed how festive the atmosphere was with live music and a happy crowd.
Sue
Everything was good but the mariachi was to loud. Maybe have them a bit further away from the tables

I love Eltorito. The food was great. The signature fajita is big portion and flavourful. The meat was tender and tasted awesome. Atmosphere is great. Next to the water. Highly recommend.
The only thing good about this place was the view. Our server was great but the food was terrible. I ordered birria tacos and they were the worst tacos I have ever had. I ate one bite and that was it. I’ve never seen birria tacos like this (see pictures). The rice tasted like microwaved bagged rice. I did get the bacon wrapped shrimp and that was pretty good. Save your money and go elsewhere. I was really disappointed.

Aside from the stunning views and atmosphere. The food was incredibly delicious. Seasoned accurately and thoroughly. The staff were friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to deliver a fantastic service and experience. Today was my wife’s birthday and they came and sang her a happy birthday and gifted her a very delicious flan. I will definitely visit El Torito, in the future and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to grab a delicious bite!
We highly recommend Jennifer, our waitress.

As we waited to be brought set-ups, which our server indicated he knew we didn't have, our meals grew cold. This isn't haute cuisine, and is really only satisfying if the cheese/rice/beans are hot — kind of ruined the meal. We also sat there for 10 mins w dirty plates in front of us before cleared. Our waiter disappeeared for 10 mins at a time. I blame the manager for not seeing that this guy had his hands full. Supervising the set-up of a buffet was obviously more important. I left the waiter a poor tip, and I wish I couls also have poorly tipped the manager. I will actively discourage people from coming here -- and already called my sister in law to tell her to schedule our grandfather's birthday dinner somewhere else. EXTREMELY disappointing.
