Our visit to El Torito was interesting to say the least the place was beautiful the music was nice and the food was amazing, but the service was displeasurable. The waiter was not attentive at all and was unwelcoming by only attending other tables but our own, at the end we just got our check and walked to the front and paid on the way out, the hostesses were pleasant and attended us with great care. Overall it was a mostly pleasant experience and hope that next time the service will be better.

It was horrible! They called me because they closed earlier than usual, and that if we wanted to be attended it had to be early, we were already at the place so we passed. We waited to be seated, but when they were going to give us a table they told us that the only thing we could order were tamales and beans.

I have used El Torito for Thanksgiving celebrations with my family in the past several times. I will do otherwise in the future. The service was wonderful. The ambience was awful. The music was so loud, our party of 7 could not carry on a conversation at our table. This was even after the staff moved us from one part of the restaurant to another. The food this time left much to be desired. The turkey was so dry as to be inedible. The normal Mexican dishes were very good as usual, but the Thanksgiving fare was not inspiring at all.

We went for the Sunday brunch and it was really, really good. The champagne glasses were never empty. We had a friend with disabilities and the waitress waited on her and brought her requests to the table for her, which was above and beyond. It looked like the brunch was a popular event for birthdays, families, and friends.
