My first time here. This restaurant is a true hidden gem in Corona, CA. From the moment I walked up, I knew I was in for a treat. I was welcomed by a wonderful lady who seated me as I waited for my 2 friends to arrive. This place was very clean, the ambience was nice, and the lighting was just right, as it was over 100 degrees that day. Our waiter gave us top-tier service, I felt like a celebrity. The food was full of flavor, not salty or too much seasoning, just filled with delicious flavor, and I savored every bit of it. I asked to meet the chef so that I could thank him for the tasty food that was served and for being part of my great experience. Everyone who was there made my day and I am thankful for this great food experience.

Could possibly be the fanciest restaurant in Corona, but the kicker is average plate is only around $25 including seafood plates. I had the fish tacos and they were splendid. So fresh and satisfying. Every table gets chips and salsa. We opted for a few appetizers, which is very filling. You have plenty of food in your tummy with possibility of leftovers. At the end of the night. The alcoholic drinks are on par. The only one thing not on par is their flan. They can do better on the condensed milk taste. I would say it tastes more like water, The rest of their desserts are tasty and fresh. Their staff is very attentive. Management helps out too. Enough room for large parties. I would make a reservation, but my party was over 30 people. I would not go on a hot day because the AC isn't the best during a heat wave. Free parking available outdoors but plentiful. Thank you for my delicious fancy fish tacos dinner. Everything is way better than others. Thank you for going above for your customers.

They also had festive decor up for the World Cup, which was playing on the TVs and added a great energy to the room. The service was awesome! Our server was incredibly friendly and spoke to us like we'd been friends for years. She was so cool. We ended up staying for hours just enjoying the vibe of the brunch crowd and the soccer fans. Food & Drinks: LOVED! The Mimosa Flight (~$9 per drink): We shared this between two people and it comes with 8 different flavors! It included peach, pineapple, strawberry, cranberry, orange, pomegranate, and I think mango (can't remember the last one, sorry!). I love that the glasses were actually filled. I watched them make them, and it's a majority of champagne with just a splash of juice. Chilaquiles: This has become my absolute favorite breakfast dish lately, so I try it everywhere. It was very yummy here! It comes with eggs, and I added steak for some extra protein. The presentation was beautiful, too. Highly recommend! Steak & Eggs: My friend ordered a dish that had a different name on the menu, but it was essentially steak and eggs. She said it was absolutely delicious. The bathroom was clean, and I noticed they have a changing table available as well, which is always a great plus. Overall, I had a really good time eating, drinking, and talking here. I will definitely be back!

My friend had to scramble to find an stress-free do-over meal soon to make up for this disaster. We ended up at Tacos Al Fuego and had a wonderful experience...

I kept asking the waiter for little things, such as whether they had a candle I could have or borrow, and never once did they make me feel like I was bothering them. They were super kind and patient with us. Food: The food was 10/10. This is coming from all of us who are used to my mom's delicious Mexican cooking. It's hard to find a Mexican restaurant that tastes this good when you grow up knowing what authentic Mexican food should taste like. My mom loved the molcajete. She even told the family that she wants us to bring her back to this restaurant to eat out again soon. Within our party, we had the fajitas, and they were not dry at all. They were juicy and tasty. I had the red chicken enchiladas, and the salsa they used was flavorful and had just the right kick to it. The enchilada wasn't drenched in so much cheese that it masked the flavor of everything else. The portions were just right. Their beans and rice were also really good. We also had their fish tacos.

The asada was good, but it was not my favorite. I have a thing with chewy fatty pieces and I understand it is common in lower quality cuts of flap meat. This asada had quite a few pieces I had to spit out because it was just too chewy. The refried beans were good, also not my favorite though. The quesadilla was good, I liked the grilled cheese cooked prior to folding it into the tortilla with the meat. Nice touch. That grilled cheese makes a huge difference. The next 3 taco plate had pastor, asada, and shrimp (except they actually gave me fish instead). At least my girlfriend enjoyed the fish taco as well. The tacos were loaded with meat and hard to pick up. That's the best! The pastor was tender and juicy. The fish taco was freshly fried and loaded with toppings and sauce.

I visited this restaurant on April 10, 2026, around 5:30 PM, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing due to what appeared to be significant staffing shortages and poor management. From the moment I arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to be seated, yet there was no hostess at the front desk to manage the flow. It created confusion and frustration right away, and set the tone for the rest of the visit. Once inside, it was clear the staff was overwhelmed. There were long wait times just to be acknowledged, and service remained slow throughout the entire meal. Employees seemed stressed and overextended--not due to lack of effort, but because there simply weren't enough people working or proper direction from management. Orders took an unusually long time to arrive, and there were noticeable issues with coordination with part of my order left out. When the food finally came out, it was extremely salty, especially the chicken tortilla soup, which made it difficult to enjoy and added to the overall disappointment. The atmosphere felt chaotic rather than welcoming, and the entire experience reflected a lack of proper planning and oversight. Management needs to ensure there is an adequate number of staff scheduled, especially during busy hours, and improve organization to avoid situations like this. With better staffing and stronger leadership, this place could improve, but based on this visit, the experience fell far short of expectations. read more

Fantastic Family Sunday Brunch! Our visit to El Torito for their Sunday Brunch was absolutely wonderful! If you're looking for a spot that balances a lively atmosphere with great food, this is it. * **Incredible Variety:** There was such a massive selection of food. From the made-to-order omelets and breakfast classics to the taco bar and traditional Mexican specialties, everyone in our group found something they loved. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. * **Super Kid-Friendly:** It can be hard to find a brunch spot where you feel comfortable bringing the little ones, but El Torito is so welcoming. The staff was patient, and the buffet-style setup makes it easy to keep kids fed and happy without the long wait for an entree. * **Great Value:** Between the dessert station (the kids loved this!) and the endless options, it felt like a total win. My kids especially said that the horchata was a masterpiece! Which is a royal plus since most restaurants horchata is supreme bland. When thats a hit you know the rest of the food is on point. We will definitely be making this a regular weekend tradition. Highly recommended for families who want a delicious, stress-free meal! read more

Not busy in Tuesday 2/9. I went with a group of friends. Just a party of 8. Got seated at a booth (tight fit). Asked to be seated somewhere else. They were moving us to the bar, and each of us would have our own chair but the table was too small! The booth table was longer. They did add one more table so we would have more space. Only part of our group got a chance to look at the menu (since they were seated first ). Our waitress took a long while to come take our order and we inform that we will order our drinks but we need menus brought to part of the group. They did eventually bring them and we placed our order. 2 of us ordered the same entree (1800 flaming fajitas, which were delicious ) but one was ordered with flour tortillas and one with corn tortillas. They only brought corn tortillas for both. We ask the waitress to exchange the tortillas... that didn't happen. Did our waitress even check on us after that, no. The meal was finished and the flour tortillas never made it to our table. I'm not usually one to complain so we left it at that. Were they short staffed that night? El Torito on a non busy taco Tuesday night was a disappointment. read more

We had a fantastic Sunday brunch at El Torito, and a huge part of what made it so enjoyable was our amazing server, Alondra! From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly hospitable wearing a warm and bright smile, great energy, and she made us feel right at home. Her communication was spot on; she explained options clearly, answered questions cheerfully, and just had this positive, upbeat personality that brightened the whole experience. She was attentive without ever hovering. Always checking in at just the right times, proactively refilling our drinks (bottomless mimosas stayed full without us even asking!), bringing fresh napkins when needed, and quickly clearing away empty plates to keep the table clean and comfortable. It was the kind of thoughtful service that makes you want to come back. The brunch spread was solid as always (love the made-to-order omelettes and taco bar), but honestly, my Girlfriend and I feel Alondra elevated the whole visit. She's a true gem and a great employee. El Torito is lucky to have her! Highly recommend asking for her if you go. We'll definitely be back, thanks to her excellent service. read more

Been eating at this El Torito for about 1 year now, food is great new bar tender Jaylyn is great, she just got hired on in December 2025. Has a great friendly personality for this type of restaurant. I've notice Jaylyn is a very hard worker in the short time I've known her. More customer service businesses need great out going workers with great work ethics like Jaylyn. I'm pretty sure if she leaves, I'll probably stop coming to this particular restaurant. I'm retired and eat out everyday. We all work hard for our earnings no matter what field we're in. Whatever This particular employee Jaylyn is getting per hour is not enough. I feel that great hard working employees no matter what position in their field she be paid fairly. There's nothing worst then losing a great employee to another competitor because the present employer took that particular employee for granted. I I personally find out she's not happy working there ,Then I'll probably not spend my hard earned money at this particular restaurant. I'm only writing this from my experiences over the years .

I recently visited El Torito Mexican Cuisine and was blown away by the delicious food and friendly atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and promptly seated at a cozy booth. The menu had a great variety of traditional Mexican dishes, from tacos and burritos to enchiladas and fajitas. I opted for the carne asada plate and was not disappointed - the meat was tender and juicy, and the accompanying sides of rice and beans were flavorful and perfectly cooked. What really stood out to me, however, was the impeccable service. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, and went out of their way to make sure we had a great dining experience. The restaurant itself was also beautifully decorated with colorful murals and festive accents, making for a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend El Torito Mexican Cuisine for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food and a fun dining experience. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. I can't wait to go back! read more

I made a reservation a month in advance for Mother's Day brunch at 10:30 AM. I arrived at 10:20 AM to check in, but after waiting around, I hadn't received any text updates. By 10:40 AM, I followed up with the front reception and was told our table had been given away to someone else. After speaking with the manager, we were finally seated at 11:10 AM. The biggest issue here was that I had 8 kids with me, and the extended wait made the experience pretty frustrating. Once we were seated, I went to get some food, but the brunch area was messy, and many of the food trays were empty. It took a while for them to replenish the items, which added to the disappointment. However, once the food was restocked and everyone settled in, the rest of the brunch experience was fine. While I understand busy days like Mother's Day can be chaotic, the waiting and lack of communication could definitely be improved. If it weren't for the frustrating wait, I would've rated it higher. read more

Laura, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. The brunch spread was impressive, offering a wide array of delicious Mexican dishes that catered to every palate. From traditional favorites like chilaquiles to made-to-order omelets, there was something for everyone. What truly set this experience apart was Laura's exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she ensured that our glasses were never empty. Overall, El Torito provided a fantastic brunch experience, made even better by Laura's impeccable service.

Every time I visit El Torito in Corona, I'm blown away by the incredible team they have. Sol is one of the first people I usually see, and she always brings such a positive, welcoming energy. She's constantly on the move, making sure everything is running smoothly, and you can tell she truly cares about the experience of every guest. Jorge and Sophie behind the bar are just as amazing--friendly, attentive, and always making sure everyone is taken care of. Whether you're grabbing a drink or just passing through, they both make you feel right at home. And Jay is a rockstar server--super sweet, professional, and always on top of everything.

We visited El Torito for their Father's Day brunch and had a wonderful experience. Hector was our sever. The buffet offered a great variety of options, from traditional breakfast favorites to Mexican specialties, and everything was fresh and well-stocked throughout our visit. The atmosphere was festive and family-friendly, making it a perfect place to celebrate Father's Day. Despite the holiday crowd, the staff was attentive, friendly, and worked hard to keep tables cleared and drinks refilled. The made-to-order omelets, carving station, and dessert selection were highlights for our family. Everyone was able to find something they enjoyed, and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations. Overall, El Torito did a fantastic job hosting a busy holiday brunch. We left full, happy, and grateful for a memorable Father's Day celebration. We would definitely return for future special occasions! read more

Had our first Thanksgiving Dinner ever at a restaurant last night and I cannot tell you what a great experience we had. We are so used to having it at home w/family and friends but due to circumstances both sides of our family were out of state, which didn't allow us to celebrate together. I was very skeptical about the quality of food, the service and the vibes. We had the BEST waiter/bartender named Theseus! He was very attentive from the moment we sat down. He brought our drinks out right away and informed us of the buffet style Thanksgiving dinner for that night. He truly made our night memorable and made us feel like family. If you're fortunate enough to go and be waited on by him, you won't be disappointed and will definitely be back. Thank you Theseus, you are the reason guests/customers like us keep returning. You're a great example of what customer service should be read more

I had such a great experience thanks to Javier and Diana! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Both of them went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and their attention to detail really stood out. Javier was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt comfortable every step of the way. Diana was just as amazing--friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can tell they both take pride in what they do. The service was fast, smooth, and stress-free, which made the whole experience even better. It's rare to come across a team that works so well together while still making each customer feel like a priority. I highly recommend asking for Javier and Diana if you have the chance--they truly made my visit exceptional! read more

We are regulars at this location which is the one on griffin way, we like to come here because usually everybody is friendly and nice and we get great service. But for our surprise that did not happen Saturday night (01/24/15) we came like usual for Cadillac margaritas and a nice dinner... This server MARTHA gave us the worst service we've ever had in our life.. She is just rude not attentive seems she was on a rush to get us out of there... Needed refills and we were trying to get her attention but she was on her phone, Honestly I feel today was such a horrible experience I don't know if I would want to go back again because I don't want to get that kind of treat. I wish I would of seen the manager to express my concern but unfortunately we never saw him tonight... Maybe next time... If there's next time!!!!!!!!! read more

Went to El Torito with my family and had a really good experience overall. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, definitely a good spot to sit down and actually enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they came out hot and fresh. The chicken was well seasoned, not dry at all, and the veggies were cooked perfectly with a good amount of flavor. You can tell everything was made fresh and not just sitting around. Portions were solid too, definitely enough food without being over the top. Service was also good. Our server was attentive, checked in on us, and everything came out pretty quickly. No complaints there. Overall, it's a solid place for Mexican food, especially if you're going with family or a group. Good food, good service, and a chill environment. I'd come back again. read more

I can see why this has outstanding reviews. We arrive and the food service could not have been any better. Fresh seafood. So unique and so flavorful. We have taken vacations in so many deep parts of Mexico. I can compare this seafood to those places!!! Maybe even better than most. The tortilla chips are super fresh. We started with the ceviche divorciado w/ beer. The fish and shrimp was so tasty! Not too tangy at all! One of the best ceviches I have ever had. My husband ordered tacos gobernador (3) fish, octopus, shrimp. All tacos did not disappoint. I had the green chile chicken enchiladas w/ salad, beans, rice. I am not a beans person but these beans (I think they had chorizo in them). They were just so good. The sauce and chicken were perfect. Genuine flavors and very authentic! We loved everything! The food here is amazing at great prices! Maricela was our server and super sweet. She made sure we had a great experience. She checked on us constantly. Very accommodating.
