   There were a lot of large groups for Mother’s Day and Graduation. Our server was great for our large group and went out of her way to help us!!

   Food was excellent! There were several large parties when we were there so initially service was slow but improved greatly and overall the meal was excellent. I would definitely go again.

   I got there with my party of( 6 ) 5 minutes before 1pm but we still had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table. We sat we order our drinks and food but got our drinks 35 minutes later and salsa and chips 40 mins later. It was almost 2pm and we still have not gotten our food and it was time to head back as we were all on our lunch time. We all decided to pay for our food since we need it to get back to the office to open up. I waited for our food and it was 2:25 and they still would not even give us our food. I went to our office and took all the staff our food but the food was all cold and tortillas were not even cooked all the way we all decided to throw our food away and missed our lunch for the day.

   Customer service is very poor & unprofessional Last Friday we had a terrible Lunch experience at the el Torito on Stockton Took almost 30 minutes to be greated at our table and to order drinks and the restaurant was half empty. Food took forever. The table next to use arrived after we finally ordered drinks and they received food right away. Server never came back to check on us once food finally came out! Desert was look very messy and Missing ice cream Asked about that she said oh we are out of ice cream with no Sorry.

   Great brunch a little pricey if you don’t have a big appetite but the bottomless mimosas make up for it! Also, if you are craving their churro pancakes and don’t see them at the different serving stations just ask your server they will bring them to your table again and again!

   The manager of this El Toritos is excellent and runs a good clean place. It gets very busy for brunch but she gets right in there and serves and helps wherever is needed. Her hostesses are friendly and professional and have to deal with some difficult people sometimes but handle it with professionalism. I would go back again and again.

   Went during Easter brunch, so it was packed. The crew was working very hard to keep up, but they were still very friendly and helpful. The food was also very tasty. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

    Easter brunch was delicious, nothing different than any other brunch Sunday with the exception of the ham and tri-tip. Our server Tiffany was amazing and attentive. Plan on returning soon.

    Terrible experience. We had a reservation and when arrived we were told the wait would be 45-60 minutes wait. We were offered a table in the bar area. The wait was long for placing order, for receiving food.

    Food was good, not great, but good. Service was also good, we really enjoyed the variety of food available. My only complain is the tortilla maker, or to be more clear the small skillet. The lady was making the tortillas, next time, get a real burner where she could actually make tortillas that cook quickly.

    Food was good for price and drinks were great. Love their happy hour specials. We actually went for the valentines dinner. 3 course meal for 55 bucks was not bad at all. There was a lot of food for two people, so much, we had extra for breakfast. El Dueno (The Owner) margarita was delicious! The waiter was quick, respectful and attentive. El Torito also has a pretty good happy hour.

    Terrible waiter, only cared about large parties. Pretended they didn’t have cranberry juice available, acted like they were out of pancakes even though it’s part of the buffet package. We spend money for what is offered, so bring us what we pay for! It wasn’t the blonde one that’s usually good, it was a black haired lady.

    Food was really low quality. The nachos were dry and the salmon and veggies were drowned in oil. The steak fajitas were also really dry.

    The sewer and/or plumbing must be broke, because the place smelled like a huge bathroom. The food was awful. Steak in fajitas was over cooked. The sweet corn cake was watery. We didn’t trust the water to drink, because of the assumed sewer or plumbing issue. The servers were good though.

    We traveled 45 min for Xmas brunch and we were greeted by the amazing, Tiffany, who was also our waitress. She gave phenomenal customer service and we appreciated her bubbly, kind personality especially having to be here on Christmas Day. She wished us a Merry Christmas and made us feel right at home. We need more people like her in the food industry. She’s a perfect example of what customer service should be. Thank you so much Tiffany!

    This was the second time we have gone for Thanksgiving. They were constantly waiting for more turkey, and most of my visits to that station there wasn't even anybody there. Found a hair in the husk of my tamale.

    I think Carmen was our waitress. She was excellent! The restaurant was lively & happy & staff was great! Food was outstanding Mexican food! We no longer have an El Torito in Sacramento, but we will return to Stockton! All of our dishes were truly authentic and I am Hispanic. Thank you El Torito!

    We have been coming here for years and we drive over an hour because the Sunday buffet is our favorite. We were there recently and it has gone down hill by a lot! When you first walk in the place smells like sewage. The floors, tables and chairs are all sticky and dirty. They do not have enough servers, we waited for long periods of time to get anything. The food is ok but not as fresh as it used to be. I actually don’t know how the health department hasn’t shut this place down. We will not be coming back here anymore. It used to be very busy on Sundays for brunch but there weren’t many people and now I know why.

    Despite our reservation, we were seated almost an hour later. Lucky there was a bar. Staff was friendly, restaurant was in bad shape they are repairing part of it which is partitioned in plastic. Service is slow and poor, food was ok, not really worth the drive.
