What M Valenzuela likes about El Torito Restaurant:
I go to this outstanding place many times as I love the good mood that is unique to this place. The team is highly friendly and qualified. The service is absolutely rapid. Most important, the food you eat is perfect. I ate there many times and I was always pleased. The payment is honest. I highly suggest this place to to all. View all feedback. What AmitJ doesn't like about El Torito Restaurant:
This time the service was very slow. They closed down one complete section and had less servers. They gave us a place where it was completely private but at the same time, easy to forget for server as it is in a kind of space which is aloof from everybody View all feedback.
