El Torito

Have gone to this location several times now on Saturday evenings for dinner. We always have to wait about 30 minutes to get a table in a mostly empty room. Service is definitely slower than at Pedro's but the food is also pretty good. Have to try Pedro's a few more times to see if the service is consistently better there, and if it is, it'll be no mas for El Torito. I give El Torito's 3 stars because of their food and the servers are trying to make your experience a good one. I just don't think they have enough servers working in the evening hours.

Went back this past Friday. Got seated right away, and service was fast. Food was still great. I've never had a problem with the food, it was always the waiting time to sit. We'll be back.

This location has been here forever! Shirley B and her husband had a date here back almost 3 decades ago, and my own BF was a regular at the lunch buffet while he was in college! The place hasn't changed a bit- lunch buffet is still here, which actually surprised me, as it's such a great deal. Like HH though, it's only available M-F (til 4PM).

Several seating areas, including a formal dining room, the bar and surrounding high-tops, and the sunroom type area. Menu isn't too large but has all of the standard Mexican options you might be craving: chile relleno, fajitas in the cast-iron skillet, a group nachos order, a multitude of margarita options, and even fish tacos (available a la carte or as a plate of three).

Chicken and beef fajitas are both good- peppers and onions are delish, charro beans are too. Guac app is a generous portion, and chips and salsa are free (Mexican Restaurant Rule #1!)- pricing may strike some as a bit high but the quality is good.
Coconut margarita is basically a marg mated with a pina colada, house specialty is available in several flavors- the strawberry is much better than the Midori.

Really enjoyed the food here. For appetizers my boyfriend and I ordered the nachos with shredded chicken which was really good. For the main course he ordered the fajita trio (?) and that was sooooo good! I ordered the carne asada and it was HUGE! With a side of rice and beans. Yummm

The food was great but the service was not that great... I mean there were only 3 tables that were taken out of the whole restaurant. Our server, Jose, was really nice though and the gentleman who sat us down. Not terrible service but slow.

My best friend and I on a complete whim decided to try this place out, on a Sunday of all days, and let me tell you, we were happy campers!!!

We were seated fairly quickly, which was really nice, and came to findout this place is all-you-can-eat. My best friend can-eat-it-all!!!! She goes for gold when there is a finite amount of food presented to her. The first question our waitress asked us was,
"Would you like bottomless mamosas?"
Her and I both looked at each other, confirmed an answer with our eyes, then looked at the waitress and both said
"HE** TO THE YES!"
We had so many mamosas! We also went to try out the food of course, which was actually really good! They have Pan Dulce (Mexican sweet bread), Huevos (Eggs), all sorts of breakfast things! It was really nice! And there was a gentleman making fresh omletes out of ingredients you choose!!! HOW GREAT IS THAT! The bill for what we consumed was actually really good, because we ate (and drank) a lot!

Overall; nice little place for breakfast and drinks if you want a mexican breakfast at a fair price

I'm giving 4 stars for their Sunday brunch buffet with bottomless Mimosas. For $17.99 you get: A full salad bar with unique dressings including cilantro sauce*, full taco bar with choices of chicken, steak, and carnitas. A bar full of sweet pastries that includes hot waffles and churros, a soup bar with menudo, and a large bar that has sweet corn, chicken and sausages, potatoes, rice and beans, more!

The deal is a great one. You an take advantage of the buffet for almost 6 hrs! Take your time and eat. I def recommend the waffles and tacos. There's even a omelet section where a guy cooks for you! This place is great for the Sunday brunch buffet, otherwise I wouldn't spend money for their a la carte. Thanks!

I think this brunch was $17.95 Not worth it! The hostess sat us right away. The waiter, didn't know much about what was on the buffett. He wasn't sure if there were any eggs! Wow really! He didn't mention the memosa's to us at all! So the only B-fast stuff was the omelet, potatoes and fruit! Other than that, they had salads, enchiladas, rice, beans, some sweet corn something (that was good) and a few more items! I
I think this buffet, should be priced around $7.95. Maybe if you drink the memos'as then you should pay $12.95 Not worth it! And El Torito, make sure your staff knows whats going on!

BIG PORTIONS! You can feed your whole family with just one entree. (exaggerating a little) I had enough leftovers to split it for three meals. So I gave an extra star for that. I got the macho combo and it was only 13.99! It has chicken enchilada and tamale, stuff green pepper, beef taco, rice and beans.

2 stars because the service wasn't THAT bad and also the food was just OKAY. Not the best Mexican food but it's doable. I also liked how there was just unlimited chips and salsa but the salsa was kind of tasteless.

This is definitely a good place for big groups!

Haven't been to an El Torito in quite some time since they took the one away near us.

Came here on a Wednesday, walking distance from our hotel. The place wasn't very busy so they could accommodate our large group of 15 easily. I ended up getting the shrimp tacos that were really good, nice flavor.

Th service was very good as well, attentive considering how big the group was. I definitely wouldn't mind returning if I was in the area.

Giving two stars because they make an effort, and the free chips and salsa were good. I don't plan to return.

My order was: taco bar, side of guacamole, glass of water. I got: order from the taco bar. It was an order brought to my table, not buffet-style as I was expecting. I should've gone to the bar and gotten tickets for tacos, which I would have had control over.

The restaurant is mostly empty, but the server still seemed overwhelmed. My tacos were okay - served street-style with nothing but meat and onions inside - but came with a 7/8 empty salsa container. Did it spill, or was someone interrupted? And only one flavor of salsa?

With no salsa, guacamole or sour cream to add to my tacos, and no aqua de beber, I ate the meat and bounced. Leaving to complete my meal elsewhere.

We came here to celebrate the departure of my boss, who quit after 19+ years. I wouldn't have came otherwise.

I think we picked the wrong night to come bc it was Karoake night. It was loud and not in a good way. People were singing badly in Spanish and even worse in English. This one guy thought he was Pitbull and even had the shades and the bald head only he couldn't rap worth a damn. We all know there's only one Pitbull (Elite extraordinaire Adam D)!

I didn't try out their food, but typically these places aren't known for great authentic Mexican food. Their chips/salsa was excellent tho! We asked the waitress several times for more a refill since the 6 of us was sharing one small bowl and she brought back only salsa. WTH are we gonna eat it with? Is it too much to have 2 bowls of salsa and chips? We all ordered drinks anyways.

The parking lot is horribly designed because even when you have "shotgun" parking, you are still far from the front door. It's dark and not safe for women at night. They definitely need some better lighting.
