My husband and I had reservations and were seated almost immediately with minimal wait, which was great. However, once seated, we waited 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. An older male server eventually stopped by, apologized for the wait, and took our order—but without writing it down. While that seemed a bit unusual, we didn’t think much of it. Another 20 minutes passed, and nothing arrived. A young female server then approached us, apologized for the misunderstanding, and took our order again. She was incredibly helpful, and I appreciated her stepping in to make things right. It’s unfortunate that she has to work alongside colleagues who don’t fulfill their responsibilities. It felt like the older server was trying to take over our table but then neglected to follow through, which ultimately reflected poorly on management. In the end, we did receive great service from the young server, and the food was excellent. I understand it was a busy night, but the lack of service from the older male server was unacceptable.

It was good. Waiter was too energetic! Some of the food was fairly good. They didn’t have some of their advertised dishes online. Kinda disappointing😏

Mandatory 20% tip is steep when you're getting your own buffet food. And same price for 13 year old minors and mimosa drinking adults doesn't make sense either. But good variety of food available.

Quise una cena de fin de año y nos sacaron del restaurante antes de poder recibir el año, la mesera fue muy mala la verdad, la comida no fue rica y el restaurante sucio.
El Torito - Redondo BeachResponded on 6 January 2025
Hola Ross, lamentamos mucho que usted y su familia hayan tenido tan mala experiecia en nuestro restaurante, sin embargo nuestro horario es de 11:00am a 10:00pm y desafortunadamente no podemos mantener a nuestros clientes mucho tiempo despues de cerrar por questiones legales por lo tanto fue imposible para nosotros permitirle recibir el ano en nuestras instalaciones. Le ofrecemos nuestras mas cinseras disculpas.
