Description

**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences**

This restaurant offers a delightful array of delicious dishes, particularly praised are the tacos, carne asada, and exceptional salsa. However, the dining experience can be marred by inconsistent service; many patrons noted slow wait times and a lack of attentiveness from staff. While the atmosphere is generally welcoming and the venue spacious, some diners encountered issues with the cleanliness of water and the need for improved waitress training. Nevertheless, for lovers of hearty, flavorful food, this restaurant remains a tempting choice, especially for those willing to overlook occasional service hiccups.

My waitress had a friendly personality and was great about checking on me. My food was good with generous portions, the restaurant was clean, and the bathroom was clean. The building is old, but it has a quant feel to it. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Carne Asada

Order mole enchiladas and was served plain shredded chicken in cold tortillas with what seemed to be Hershey squeeze bottle chocolate on top. It was gross and it’s hard to get a clean dish. Don’t go! Trust me it’s awful and dirty! Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

The restaurant ElTorro is the best. The service is amazing and Seira makes you want to come back every day. Norma and her family are so friendly! I love them. I am allergic to rice and the cook remembers even if I forget to to tell them. They don’t mind putting avocados, cheese and onions on the side of my order. The place is always clean and so are the bathrooms. I watch them wipe down the seating as well as the tables. The food tastes great and I love it. I wish they had mild salsa but the beans are great! They don’t seem to mind if I take my leftover food home to eat later !
