We're there at the exact time and we had to wait outside for 25 minutes. Besides that we wanted an outdoor table for the two of us. When we walked into the the greeting person who was told that we wanted a outdoor table she said that she only seated a party of 4 or more and she said she had an inside table

Went to Taco Tuesday with coworkers with a RSVP at 5:15 p.m. we arrived on time and table for 9 was not set up. Once set up, waitress took about 20 minutes to take our order and brought us drinking water, then we waited an additional 1 hour to get our food even though we order appetizers, then waited another 15 minutes to get the check. When we got there, the restaurant was nearly empty in the patio area (where we had RSVP), however about 15 different people walked in and they were served first and were very confused about that; as we waited patiently although we were very hungry at that point. At this point there were only 6 of us since the rest of our coworkers were not able to wait. We've been here before and ate inside which was a quicker turnaround in service. We noticed one of the waitress seem to be in a bad mood and didn't see our waitress for an hour. We like this location because it's easy to go after work since it's close proximity. The happy hour is good...we are concerned that we have to find a new location to meet for dinner next time.

Erika was the best server we could have had. She went above and beyond. Very attentive and fast. Above all very honest , had charged us for the guacamole that we never received and fixed our checked before we even noticed . Will definitely go back and request to be seated where she is servicing.

I love El Torito for a really long time and I was happy to go there after so long because we don't have one closer to my house.

Too many negative things to post. In short: bad service, forgetful waitress, half order, wrong order, heater issues and trash/ dust in our food ( from moving the heater ), extremely long wait for appetizers and drinks
