   Overall it was great but seating was a little crowded. The people on the side of us were too close every time the Man got up his behind was on our table. He even knocked my grandsons head with his arm. 🤦‍♀️ Next time I will wait for the Bar area seating.

   Great service by Idelia. Always replacing food as soon as it's gone with fresh food. Love the variety of Mexican dishes. Always a treat to go!

   The server was no where to be found when we needed something. I understand if was holiday but we were paying customers too. Lack of service was it for me

   I've been going to El Torito my whole life. I've even worked for El Torito. This Sunday, the food was amaziigly spicy, which is really weird. The service was the worst my family has ever had. You might think it's because it was Easter, but it wasn't crowded. Prices are up too. Not sure we'll ever come back. Or maybe try another location

   Food was great and at a great price. My normal server was on duty so that wasn't as great as normal. He did well.but I'm spoiled with Lydia service.there was a child screaming at the top of her lungs that wasn't pleasant.

   Made reservations for a party of 8 people, when we got there they didn’t have a table for us, because another party that sat down moved table’s causing a seating situation. Then tried offering to sit us in two tables which beats the purpose, or a booth ..how do you fit 8 people in a booth. Outside look liked a jail cell, I would strongly suggest decorating it so it looks nice. Eventually moves two tables together, food was ok, they never sang happy birthday. Had to keep finding the waitress to fill our mimosas, then each person was giving a glass of juice instead of brining then carafe for the table. Just feel this place has some up grades to make me want to come back, we always go to Brea, but thought we would try something different.

    The service was very good with them being a special day. The accommodations are somewhat OK.
