    We're regular El Torito brunch guests, so this visit was disappointing. There was a 25-minute wait despite several open tables when we arrived. The omelet station was unattended for a period of time, and the waffle syrups were nearly empty. Overall, the food quality did not match what we've experienced at other locations. Our server was really friendly but not very attentive, and we had to flag her down when we needed assistance. It also appeared the staff member bussing and maintaining multiple areas was overwhelmed. At $39.50 per person, we expected a more organized and attentive experience. We're hoping this was just an off day.

    Can you say "THE BEST MOTHERS DAY BRUNCH!!" because that's exactly what this is. El Torito is always doing their thing for brunch and they went above and beyond for Mother's Day! Delicious food, drinks, and even better service! Javier, the manager always is so attentive making sure we're well taken care of!

    We were charged $13.75 for each Cadillac Margarita x 3

    Sadly, we were overcharged for the Cadillac Margaritas. There is a huge sign out front for the Mother's Day brunch. On the bottom line you can see $5 Bloody Mary's and $5 Cadillac Margaritas. We will be back to be reimbursed. The restaurant was crazy busy when we left and didn't want to cause a scene.

    Thank you El Torito for hosting our Mother's Day event .. our booking was easy and smooth. Service was excellent, your staff was amazing , the restaurant had a delightful ambiance. Our taco buffet was really good .. will definitely keep you in mind for our future events .

    Not bad... Also, nothing mind-blowing. The food was very mediocre and bland. I remember El Torito being great in the past. It's definitely changed. The food was bland, and the beans were overly salty. The beans were gross lol The enchiladas were alright. Nothing to rave about though, sadly. I got the cheese enchiladas, and my husband got the shrimp enchiladas. The enchiladas were bland. The rice was maybe from the day before. Not fresh by any means. The service was good. They were friendly and very sweet. Our waiter went out of his way to surprise my friend with a dessert for her birthday. That was very kind. My friend loved it! We sang happy birthday to her. It was a good time. Service was 10/10 I just wish the food was better. I used to love El Torito. It could have been an off day for the rice and beans, and the enchiladas lol

    Taco Tuesday

    Came in for Taco Tuesday which starts at 4pm. We sat in the bar section and it promptly got busy. There was one bartender who also went around taking orders, one person taking care of the taco section including making the corn tortillas, and a server that was taking care of the whole restaurant. It looked stressful but they did an amazing job and then I saw more staff come in around 5pm. I had the carnitas and al pastor tacos and they also had beans and their famous corn cakes. I highly recommend this place for Taco Tuesday but unless you get there at 4pm, you might have a little bit of a wait.

    When walking in I see that the the area is clean and big! I did go on a Wednesday night and the vibes were so cool! Not too busy but a nice ambiance, when being sat I get my host Liliana she attends me and goes above and beyond she recommended a drink ( it had a watermelon slice) and it was amazing!! I frankly couldn't choose one plate so I decided to get a platter with three items so I can get a great taste of everything! The nachos were my favorite it had like an enchilada sauce and the egg rolls were BOMB.com!! The service was great and would recommend to eat here and ask for Liliana she was a hoot!!

    Got in quickly. Was greeted by Sol. She was so sweet and very helpful. She was never just standing around, she was running from table to table. Everything was great, food, atmosphere & staff.

    Javier is outstanding!!! Great service. Javier helped us find the dodger game and was very out going.

    I opted for the Cheese enchilada combo with the sour cream sauce. It is advertised as chicken enchiladas but I only wanted cheese.

    I ordered the octopus and a steak burrito via Grubhub around 2pm on Cinco de Mayo…read more It took a bit longer than predicted but it was worth the wait. The octopus was tender and delicious with a heat that built up slowly. The bed of greens was a little over dressed but delicious. The burrito was very good. It sat for a bit while I ate the octopus so it got a little soggy. It had a lot of steak much to my surprise. The presentation of both dishes was exceptional. In my experience, Corona doesn't have many restaurants that produce high quality food and deliver. I'm glad to have discovered Maiz Cocina. I'll be back.

The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us.

Honestly, from service to portion to food Quality, across the board everything was fantastic. Prices are fairly standard nothing exorbitant. The portions are great. I ordered the fried calamari which might've been the most tender and fresh calamari I think I've ever tasted. My wife had the Caprese salad, which was really fresh and well done. For the main meal, I had crab stuffed ravioli, and my wife had the steak beef bowl, which was enormous and could easily be shared with two people. The ravioli was excellent. The sauce was excellent. The flavor and the subtle sweetness of the crab shined through. My wife's steak bowl was also amazing. The steak was melt in your mouth tender. A very subtle heat in the seasoning from red chili, I believe. Chefs kiss. Our server was amazing and I feel horrible for not remembering her name, the woman who was working the front area was helpful and knowledgeable and just very welcoming. A special bonus was the old school 50s and 60s music. My mom would have loved it. This place is a definite guarantee for anyone who enjoys great quality food. We will be there again. I would've taken pictures of the food, but I am an absolute glutton and finished it...lol
