"Average food at best, but friendly service — though our server was missing in action for quite some time. My biggest gripe was a 3.99% surcharge added to every bill — this is not a fee if paying by credit card, this is an additional 4% just because. I am glad to support a locally owned business, but why not just add 4% to the cost of each item so I am unaware I am being taken advantage of?"

"Rosa M. was absolutely fantastic. She is so personable and attentive! She made sure we were taken care of and took initiative of what our table needed before we even asked. The food and the options for brunch were delicious and plentiful. We definitely plan to come back more often."

"Good upscale mexican food. Service was fast and on point, although had some trouble communicating with our server. Decor was very atmospheric, and quite family friendly. The food itself was good - we all got tacos. Personally more of a fan of street mexican, but this worked. Prices are a bit steep for what you get."

"Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. The bathroom needs a refurbishment. Parking space availability is limited and frustrating. There was something disturbingly wrong with my food. The waiter acknowledged the issue and replaced it with extra portions. Plus, I received a very favorable discount on the check. The food was delicious. Chips and salsa were replenished quickly. I would recommend you visit this restaurant during its slower business hours. I hope the management resolves the parking and bathroom issues."

"Our holiday dinner at El Torito turned out to be a delightful surprise, especially considering it was Christmas day. Despite the bustling crowd, we were seated within 15 minutes of our reservation, and the festive atmosphere added to the holiday spirit. El Torito lived up to its reputation, offering the familiar and comforting Mexican fare we expected. The guacamole made fresh at our table, coupled with yummy margaritas, bottomless chips, and salsa, set the perfect tone for a family-friendly dining experience. What made it even better was the affordability that El Torito consistently delivers. Even with the holiday rush and what seemed like a shortage of staff, our waiter hustled to ensure our party was well attended to. It was heartwarming to see the dedication despite the challenges. The presence of multiple screens playing the football game made the experience even more enjoyable, especially for my dad and brother who appreciated the view from our table. Overall, El Torito provided a warm and inviting setting for a holiday meal, with the staff's hard work shining through. A fine time indeed, with good food, family, and a touch of holiday cheer."
