    I know El Torito has been around for a long time, I know because I used to eat there when I was a kid! I still do, just not so often. I need to change that! I forgot how wonderful the food is, the staff was very helpful and kind, and the restaurant was clean and very inviting! I don't know if it's only because it was the restaurant in Irvine, but I and my party enjoyed it very much!! And don't forget dessert!!! I highly recommend the Mexican Bred Pudding, and the Banana/Cheesecake Chimichanga!!!! Muy bueno!!!

    Always love this little gem in our neighborhood that’s been renovated and has beautiful outdoor patios that have great heat lamps and a beautiful fire pit. The service is always warm and welcoming, and the prices are really reasonable with really good quality food. Drink prices are great as well.
