Gloria was our server and she was super nice and was great on refills and we didn't have to ask for anything because she brought everything out without us having to ask! We will be back and hopefully have Gloria as our server again! read more

Party of 4 with reservations. We arrived early and were told we would be seated right away even though we were early. But we were called to be seated at the reservation time regardless. Music was too loud! Could not engage in conversation with each other without yelling! The food was delicious but hard to enjoy with the elevated noise. read more

Martha was very unprofessional. She charged us for steak just for picking 2 chicken and 1 carnitas taco on the street taco plate. It says you can choose between those meats! Steak is the $2 extra. We received no steak.. We tried to explain but she treated my mother like she couldn't read English, my mother was offended. Also even if it's somehow an extra charge to mix and match carnitas and chicken explain that on the menu or tell the customer when they order. She never said an extra charge for mix and match carnita and chicken. Gloria is the best server here! Gloria works hard and makes sure the customer is always treated with respect and fairness. I will not be coming unless Gloria is serving. I know it's just $2 but it's the concept. The menu says you can pick between those meats. Please update training and how to serve people with respect. The picture makes sense to me. read more

El Torito - Mexican Near Me - Cypress, California

I honestly don't know why but I always forget to check in when we are here. But then again we only ever come for the brunch buffet because it's worth it. Unlimited corn cake and tacos. YUM. I could die on a hill made of the corn cake. Even though I have the little mixes at home, I always get at least 2 servings when we come through. And when we come to this specific location, we always gotta make sure we are seated in Gloria's section. If she's not in, we make do but hands down Gloria is our girl. Always makes sure we are well taken care of and have everything we need. Maybe one day I'll try eating here when it's not brunch. But not right now read more

Enjoyed going to our regular hang out at El ztorito. The food was good but what's makes it great is being served by Gloria. We have been coming for years and my last review was in 2021 again with Gloria. Happy she is still around and helping make our visit special read more

Today was probably the worst time at an El Torito. We were told the wait was for 1-2 hours we were sat 3 hours later. We were "next in line " for 30 minutes as other people were let in. Then we were "inside" only to wait in another line to get in and then There was another long line to get food. Then, another long wait for someone to take our omelets orders. Mimosas were ok but also slow for refills and the brunch was $34!!! A person which they didn't tell us until they brought the bill which they were also slow to do. Absolutely not worth the price. They sat at us a dirty table. I asked the person who lead us to the table to clean it for us and they said it was already cleaned. It wasn't it cleaned it myself with 2-3 wipes that came out brown. We didn't have enough chairs. No one ever apologized for the constant poor lack of service. If the manager is wants to contact us I'd be happy to hear why the situation was so terrible. read more

Why do I feel like the happy hour shots/drinks are super light?!

The service was great. Our server Arturo was very attentive but not distracting. He filled waters when needed and asked if we needed more food or napkins. Food came out quickly and tasted very delicious. All around a great experience. read more

This review is based on the assistance of Edwin. He was the only server to acknowledge us after waiting 10 minutes from being seated. He was not assigned to our table but had noticed us not being helped for quite sometime. He approached us with kind attitude and willingness to help. He continued his above and beyond service through out the whole meal. Thank you for making our dinner experience exceptional Edwin. read more

Thank you Gloria for fantastic service! My family and I have been coming to this location for years and we had the pleasure of Gloria being our server this recent time. She was attentive and friendly to all our needs and took great care of us. She really made a great impression on us and we hope to get her again the next time we come. Thank you again Gloria! read more

We love coming to brunch the food and drinks k are great. We always ask for Jorge as our waiter. Hands down the best waiter they have.

Came here for dinner and ordered the fajitas supremo which you get beef, shrimp, and chicken. I was really disappointed with the portion of food for the price. I'm not sure what happened because in the past it was much more. There are much better options for fajitas like burrito jr in Seal beach and Supermex. Also my wife's spinach enchilada had no cheese! It wasn't even hot and was Luke warm. For the price there are better options for much less. read more

The food was amazing. Gloria was our server and she was very good . Very attentive and overall very good. She was very friendly.

Everytime we come here we are always treated so well with Gloria as our server. She's polite, efficient, and knows the menu/drinks very well. We are always happy to see we got her as our server again :) Food and drinks were delicious as well! read more

I generally like this place for their bottomless chips and salsa. Their salsa is a mild, tomato concoction of some cilantro and onions puréed together. Not at all spicy. The best part is their thin chips that is cooked in grease that makes you wanting more. I've tried the mini tacos from their happy hour menu. Not something I'd order again. I didn't realize it was the crispy taco shell. It has a layer or retried beans and just a smudge of meat. The. Again, what should I have expected for $6 for 4 small pieces? I do like their fajitas here. It's consistently good. The thing is these platters, although seemingly innocent pack over 1000 calories. They throw a slab of garlic butter over their sizzling plates that make it sooooo darn good. If I opt for this dish, I like to share it so I don't feel so bad, and esp since I eat those crack - addiction chips. Kids menu tenders always look good as well. It's my sons favorite (not so) Mexican dish here! Service is spotty. Sometimes it's amazing, other times it's fantastic. Have heard their brunch m-f was excellent for $8-9/ buffet. I may try and make my way out here one day. read more

See all

My husband and I had dinner at this location and we were very impressed with the place. The wait wasn't too bad for a Sunday (about 20min). They have happy hour between 2-8 and the drinks were really good. They also have appetizers on the happy hour menu. Our server, Arturo, was super sweet and very attentive to us. He checked on us multiple times and made sure we were good with our beverages. I was also impressed with their restrooms. They were very clean. My husband and plan enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be coming back. read more

Today I went to El Torito for the first time since it was the closest restaurant near my job that served Margaritas for Margarita today and also since I wanted to treat myself since I've been working 8 days straight. When I went inside I was automatically greeted and sat down at a roomy table. Then came along a very sweet lady named Gloria who welcomed me with letting me know all the specials going on today. Even though I was by myself, she made sure I was treated well and was okay with everything. Because of her, all the items I ordered (tacos, margaritas, chips, salsa, guacamole, fried ice cream) and even some to go items like flautas all came in a timely manner. I must say even though I was hesitant because I never been here, my server Gloria was so sweet and made my experience delightful. read more

Excellent service and food, our severer Carol she's exceptional. Food is really good specially the menudo and pozole

Mario the server was amazing and very efficient. Good food as well.. Brenda & HunterRay read more

Not that good and it's very overpriced. The salsa is basically just tomato juice and the drinks are either watered down or really expensive!

My hubbie and I just received the most pleasant service at El Torito this eve. Our server was EDWIN. I don't know how to explain it other than he was just SO PLEASANT! He was very attentive, gave accurate recommendations upon request and just presented as the IDEAL SERVER, making our dining experience quite nice. We also observed the manager RODRIGO continually checking-in on all the guests, including us. He was assisting with orders, drink refills and even cleaning off tables. I don't think I've ever observed a manager assisting servers (non-stop) and being so attentive to guests as RODRIGO was. The food was typical El Toritos (delish) BUT the staff here really went above and beyond which will have the hubby and I returning to this location when we're in the mood for Mexican food! read more

I came to Sunday Brunch for the first time last week, and I was quite surprised by their spread. There was so much variety, from an omelette station to a fajita station to various desserts as well as pancakes and waffles with all the toppings. I enjoyed everything I ate, especially the churro pancakes! In addition, our server Jeremy was outstanding. He made sure we always had everything we needed and ensured that my mimosa glass was never empty. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Came here to have brunch and Martha our server was great, very attentive and nice. Food was served by the servers behind the plexi glass, very covid compliant and clean. Would definitely come here again. read more

Great food & service. 585 Mario M was a 5 waiter. Thank you Mario for taking care of us with your great service.

What is going on with staffing at this location? The bar area seems to be very different in recent weeks. Service is notably different. Longer wait times for everything. Even had trouble trying to pay so we could leave. This was one of our go to places. read more
