    Waiting quote long for ordering and food; portions were smaller than identical entrees in other El Torito. The taste was good and presentation good.

    Every bit of the experience was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and personable. Fully bilingual, which was great because our table was so mixed. I have never liked guacamole and the way it was made fresh right in front of us and seasoned perfectly, it’s the first time I actually ate it. It was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to visiting again!

    We waited over an hour from ordering to then go ask our waiter to cancel our food so we could pay the drinks and leave. A larger party who sat down after we already ordered was served before our party of 3 was. We never even got the food, when we said we wanted to cancel our order and pay for drinks, they said it would be out soon - as in it still wasn’t ready.

    Came here for a quick bday outing/date on A Happy Sunday for hubby It was little unfortunate that we had to wait 30 minutes till we can order from the regular menu/or wait another 20 minutes on top of that to explore the bar food specials… We proceeded to order the tacos /combo plate in which on a normal day that would be ok however it was his bday :/ and apparently food was not to our expectations :( and decided the bar food was actually better !!! For half the price we just wished we opted for that instead -Totally disappointed We kept asking for water and drinks but also waited a very long time for that as well. We usually go to El Torrito grill” restaurants because of this but took a chance And not doing that again. However they sang Happy Birthday which was nice and we so appreciated that! We like El Torrito vibe just this time it wasn’t

    Was disappointed no roast beef like last year, meat line was slow although the woman was polite. Food lacking in flavor despite an abundance. Deserts were very small in portions. All the personal were very polite and helpful.

    Excellent service, champs was flowing, dirty plates removed promptly. Food was good, some items kept not quite hot enough. Good variety though.

    When it stated it would be a thanksgiving buffet we were excited but it was a huge let down food was not very good. Rice was hard. Pastor taco meat was burn to the point it was black. It was more of a regular Sunday brunch and seemed like a lot of left overs were used. Incredibly disappointed because we have been to this location for Sunday brunch and it was great. Left hungry don’t know if we will ever return. Sad thanksgiving day for us. But the salad was good. Our server was great !
