El Torito is on my absolute favorite restaurants. Great salsa to go along with the free chips, and amazing Saturday morning breakfast specials! If you go during Happy Hour, they have amazing shrimp tacos, and Mexican pizza!

Didn’t end up eating there, got there in time for reservation. Numerous empty seats and was told we had to wait ten minutes to be seated to allow the kitchen to catch up. We waited close to twenty and nobody checked on us again. We left and went to eat at Lazy Dog. Suggestion for management…. We could’ve been seated with chips and salsa and maybe our drink orders while the kitchen caught up.

This was an ok experience. I ordered street corn which the guy described to me and then brought me a cob of corn plain and said that’s our street corn. I said no thank you and the manager said I will go make it right. They brought out what looked like a good street corn in a cup but it was soaked it salt to the point it wasn’t edible. I thanked and sent back. When it came to pay I gave them military card and card and cash. I told them an amount to put on card and pay rest with cash. We already had cash tip on table. They brought us back only cards and receipts. No cash. Needless to say they got a 40% tip. Not very professional.

The food was decent, very expensive for Mexican food. Margaritas were excellent but a little expensive. We shared the fajitas and table side guacamole with 3 drinks came out to 100$ with tip, this location felt like I was in a burger joint where you order food at the counter. I would recommend if you just going for drinks it might be nice the bar looked like you can hang out but for date night or anniversary I would say no. Food is a little bland. Fresh guacamole was delicious. Chips are also great the salsa flavor is not bad but maybe need a little bit of love. Overall decent food great drinks a little expensive for what I got, but inflation has a lot to do with it probably.

We had a 6:00 pm reservation. We were sat at table right away and then service went downhill from there. It took 15 minutes for server to take our order. This would have been fine but it then took over and hour to get our food. My husbands tacos were burned. The server brought him one taco a la carte. The manage then came by and took his entire plate with rice, beans and 2 tacos and never brought back a new plate. Our server then came back and said manager took his plate off bill. Offered to get him another taco but by this time was husband was through waiting for food and others in our party had finished eating. Not sure why manager didn’t have kitchen cook him entire new plate and bring it out. Manager never came back once he took plate back to kitchen. I gave food a fair rating as others food was good. Not sure will go back to this location even though it is convenient to where I live.

We had children and elderly with us and needed special requests. We had to send food back 3 times. Then when we ordered and ask how the food came , it came with seasoning and sauces we weren't told about. Also, we thought we could order Pozole because we know it was served at the buffet, and we were not able order. We've been to several this one just wasn't up to par.

Staff was accommodating, helpful and nice. Waitress was great despite being very busy. Most of the food served was cold and, in some instances, serving staff did not know what they were serving. For the price of Thanksgiving brunch, we were not impressed. Will not be going there again.

Our Thanksgiving buffet was wonderful! The food was amazing, the service was great, and we were able to get food in a timely manner, no long lines. The servers and waiters/waitresses were so friendly and accommodating on what probably is a very hectic day for them. I love having the option of traditional thanksgiving items and El Torito's Mexican food together.

I’ve long been a fan of El Torito for years. I had dinner there last night. The Corona location was quiet, service was quick and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I plan to meet my friends there again in the near future.
