If you're thinking of getting a bite to eat at this El Torito take the time to look for another place to eat. That time you take to look for another place will be better well spent than waiting for service at this place. Was the place busy sure was it "slammed" absolutely not. Took 40 minutes to get our entrees, and I've been in the service industry it happens, but the fact that the ticket times are this slow only to be coupled with COLD food. Enchiladas came out cold with the sauce soaked and dried into the enchilada from sitting so long, fajita plate came out with barely any veggies. I should have complained but why when this is the repeat service you get here. The waiter was great compliments to him and keeping our drinks and chips full. The food coming from that kitchen, management and the chefs should be embarrassed. read more

How much is all you can eat Sunday brunch now? It doesn't show on the website.

The Sunday brunch is 36$ per adult and 12& per child I don't know why they won't say the price online

Do they have happy hour?

Yes 3:00 to 9:00 daily and on drinks and appetizers.

Today for Mother's day the brunch cost $31 per person. I just asked my husband. May 9,2021. How come it differs? Is it because of Mother's Day?

I called them today and they said the price for brunch is now $31 so they may have just increased prices.

Are they doing the Sunday brunch on Valentine's Day to?

Yes

Will you guys be staying open or closing due to restaurants closing in LA?

They are open for indoor and outdoor dining as of today Feb 15 2021

My friend and I both got mango margaritas on the rocks, but somehow mine tasted way better (more mango-y and I requested Tajín on the rim while hers seemed watered down. Guess it depends on your bartender). They had darts in the back, and a DJ in the front with upbeat music, and tons of board/card games (though some boxes looked a little worn and like they could be missing a few pieces). Didn't try the food, but everything I saw looked good. Also loved that you can walk in and out, making it easy for smoke breaks. Overall, great vibes, fun games, and a perfect hangout spot. Would definitely come back!

It was also pretty dead when we got there, but to be fair, we did go a little earlier so I can't really judge the atmosphere too much based on that. The biggest issue was definitely the temperature. When it's over 100° outside, the last thing you want is to walk into a place expecting to cool down and still feel like you're sitting in the heat. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else because none of us wanted to stay. I really wanted to like this place and maybe I'd give it another chance on a different day, but based on this experience it was definitely disappointing, especially for a birthday celebration.

Dining at El Torito transcends mere eating; it's an experience, largely thanks to the impeccable service provided by Mario.

Each dish, from the tangy ceviche appetizers to the sumptuously spiced main courses, is a testament to the chefs' expertise and dedication to their craft. However, it's Mario's recommendations that truly make the meal special. His ability to gauge diners' preferences and suggest dishes that delight the palate is unmatched. Whether guiding you through the complexities of regional specialties or pairing the perfect beverage with your meal, Mario's expertise enhances every bite. Moreover, Mario's attentive but unobtrusive service ensures that every need is met with a smile, making diners feel valued and well cared for.

El Torito continues to be one of our family's favorite places to eat, and there's a reason we keep coming back! Every visit reminds us why we love this restaurant so much. The food is consistently exceptional, the atmosphere is inviting, and it's a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal with the whole family. On this visit, we ordered the seafood tacos and burrito tacos, and both were absolutely delicious! Everything was packed with flavor, perfectly prepared, and incredibly satisfying. You can tell there's attention to detail in the food, and the quality keeps us coming back. Our kids ordered the cheese pizza, which was also a hit! It's always nice finding a restaurant where the adults can enjoy fantastic Mexican food while the kids have something they genuinely love eating. And of course, we couldn't pass up the Cadillac margaritas! Absolutely fantastic and the perfect complement to an already incredible meal. If you enjoy a great margarita, you definitely need to try one here! What really makes El Torito special is its consistency. We've eaten here countless times, and it continues to deliver the kind of experience that makes us excited to return. Whether you're coming for a family dinner, a casual night out, or just some delicious Mexican food and margaritas, this place is an excellent choice. Five stars all around! Great food, fantastic drinks, a family-friendly atmosphere, and an experience that keeps us coming back again and again. Highly recommend El Torito, and we're already looking forward to our next visit! read more

My recent visit to El Torito left me with mixed feelings as I indulged in some delicious tacos but encountered significant drawbacks in the service department. Here's a breakdown of the items I ordered: 1. Al Pastor Taco: 4/5 The Al Pastor Taco was a savory delight, bursting with flavor. While it didn't quite reach perfection, it was a satisfying choice that showcased the restaurant's effort in delivering quality tacos. 2. Steak Taco: 4/5 The Steak Taco mirrored the Al Pastor in terms of taste and quality. The steak was well-cooked, and the overall presentation and flavor earned it a solid four stars. Additional Notes: - I visited El Torito on Taco Tuesday, lured in by the promise of delectable deals. The tacos did not disappoint, and the freshness of the tortillas added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. However, the shining moments of the meal were unfortunately overshadowed by a glaring issue with the service. I found myself waiting for an excruciating 40 minutes just to receive the check, process it, and cash out my gift card balance. This extended wait time greatly diminished the overall dining experience, leaving me frustrated and dissatisfied. While the food at El Torito deserves commendation, the service aspect, particularly on the day of my visit, was subpar. I hope the management takes note of such lapses and works towards improving the efficiency of their service to ensure that patrons can enjoy both delicious meals and a seamless dining experience. read more

Had a great time at El Torito for a friend's birthday brunch! We came with a big group of about 20, and even though we were definitely on the rowdy side, the staff was super nice and didn't say anything about it. Arturo was awesome--he kept the bottomless mimosa refills coming and checked in often to make sure we were good. The vibe here is really lively, especially for birthdays. There were a bunch of other birthday celebrations going on too, which made it feel even more festive. Definitely a fun spot if you're looking to celebrate with bottomless mimosas. As for the food, there were a lot of solid options. My favorite was the seafood station which had aguachile, shrimp pasta, ceviche, but and the chicken tamale was good too. The stewed meats were tasty but a little on the salty side. They also have made-to-order tacos, but I thought the meats were a bit too salty and greasy as well. They have a standard omlette station which is always nice, with bacon, ham, and chorizo as meat options. The dessert station was a highlight for me--the waffles and churros with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream were great. They also had pancakes that looked fluffy, though I didn't try them, as well as arroz con leche, bread pudding, and a few others. Overall, a fun experience with friendly service and good food. The only thing is the $40 price feels just a little high--I think $35 would be the sweet spot. But still, if you're looking for a lively brunch with endless mimosas, this is a great option. read more

Unforgettable Rotary Club Gathering at El Torito in Cypress! Our recent Los Alamitos, Cypress & Seal Beach Rotary Club event at El Torito in Cypress, CA, was an absolute delight from start to finish. As a group of 23, we were warmly welcomed and accommodated in a designated area, setting the perfect tone for the evening. From the get-go, the attentive wait staff astounded us with their professionalism and friendliness.

The efficiency did not compromise the quality in the slightest. The level of service we received was beyond exceptional. The staff's dedication to ensuring our comfort and enjoyment was evident in every interaction.

Last night, my wonderful husband treated me to a beautiful Valentine's dinner at El Torito in Cypress -- and let me just say, it was an experience. We're regulars here (Sunday brunch is our thing, and we pop in for dinner from time to time), so we know what to expect. Typically, our visits land somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5 stars. But Valentine's Day? They earned a solid . The restaurant was fully decorated for Lover's Day -- romantic, festive, and thoughtfully done without feeling over the top. Even after 28 years of marriage, my husband and I still make it a point to celebrate our love, and the ambiance truly supported that moment for us. Now let me talk about our server -- Mario. Top notch doesn't even begin to describe him. The restaurant was packed. Every table was full. He was clearly busy. And yet... he made us feel like we were the only two people in the room. I'm a picky eater (and yes, I had special requests ), but Mario took our order to the letter. Not one detail was missed. Everything came out exactly right. He was attentive, timely, professional, and warm without being intrusive. That balance is rare -- especially on one of the busiest dining nights of the year. Service like that makes all the difference. So on this particular Valentine's evening, El Torito in Cypress gets a full five stars from us -- and a special shout-out to Mario for making our night feel special, personal, and memorable. We had a wonderful time, and we'll absolutely be back. read more

Let me just say this: if you're going to El Torito in Cypress, ask for Marleni. Trust me, you'll thank me later. I've been dining out for years, and Marleni is, hands down, one of the most phenomenal servers I've ever encountered. She doesn't just serve food--she creates an experience. From the moment we were seated, Marleni's warm smile and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for our evening. She welcomed us like we were old friends and immediately made us feel at home. You could tell she truly loves what she does, and that energy is contagious. She greeted us with a cheerful "How's everyone doing tonight?" and somehow managed to remember all of our names within the first five minutes. Who does that? What truly blew me away was Marleni's attentiveness. My glass of water? Never empty. Chips and salsa running low? She had a fresh batch on our table in seconds. And she did all of this without hovering or interrupting our conversation. It's like she had a sixth sense for exactly what we needed and when. And let's talk about her personality. Marleni has a way of making you feel like you're the most important table in the restaurant. She's funny, charming, and so down-to-earth. At one point, she cracked a joke about how many plates she could carry at once. Did I also mention that she's hot? ;) El Torito is lucky to have someone like Marleni on their team. Her customer service is nothing short of legendary. read more

El Torito never fails to deliver an authentic Mexican dining experience, and my recent visit was no exception. Jose, our server for the evening, made it even more special. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated promptly. The ambiance at El Torito is always inviting, with colorful decor and a lively atmosphere that immediately puts you in a festive mood. As for the food, it was exceptional. We started with the guacamole, which was fresh and deliciously creamy with just the right amount of kick. For our entrees, we had the ignited fajitas supremaa and the sizzling enchiladas, both of which were bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and every bite was a taste of Mexico. Jose was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the perfect margarita to pair with our dishes and ensured our glasses were never empty. What stood out the most was his genuine passion for the cuisine and his dedication to making our dining experience memorable. The night concluded with a delectable dessert, and we left El Torito with full stomachs and satisfied taste buds. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience with exceptional service, I highly recommend El Torito, and I hope you're fortunate enough to have Jose as your server. This restaurant never disappoints, and it's a true gem in the world of Mexican cuisine. read more

It's been a while since I had dinner at El Torito, as I usually visit on Sundays for their awesome brunch. They offer a huge variety, and with bottomless mimosas, it's always a great experience that never disappoints! This time, I came in for dinner, and I was lucky enough to be served by Gloria, who was absolutely wonderful. Her service stood out, and I can't say enough about how attentive and friendly she was throughout the meal. It's always a bonus when the staff makes you feel so welcomed! As for the meal itself, it was solid. I opted for the "Create Your Own Combo," and it was more than enough food. The portions were generous and satisfying, just what I was hoping for. They also had some specials going on, and I'm always down for a good deal--my wife took full advantage of that, so no complaints here! One small thing, though-- I ordered the Horchata, which doesn't come with refills, and that's understandable. However, the glass was probably around 10 oz, and with the ice, it seemed closer to 8 oz. For $5.50, I wasn't blown away, and while I understand the no-refills policy, it didn't feel like the best value. Interestingly, my water refill came in a much larger glass--probably 16 oz--so I just thought the disparity was worth noting. Overall, it was still a good meal with great service, and I'll definitely be back for more. read more

We frequent this location often, but today's experience was a bit different. There was a slight wait before we were seated, and once seated, we waited about 15 minutes before our order was taken. Fortunately, the host, Juan, was extremely attentive. Noticing that our waiter had not yet approached us, he took the initiative to take our drink order and brought us chips and salsa while we waited. After another 10 minutes with no sign of our waiter, Juan kindly came over again to take our food order. Another 20 minutes passed, and still, no waiter had come to check on us. At this point, Juan was consistently checking with the kitchen and providing us with updates on our food. Eventually, the waiter came over to remove the menus from the table but did not offer any further assistance. By this time, Juan had already taken care of our order. While we appreciate the waiter's eventual visit, it would have been nice for him to introduce himself and acknowledge that he would be servicing our table. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Juan for his exceptional customer service, attentiveness, and kindness. He truly went above and beyond, and his actions made a noticeable difference in our experience. read more

Came in on Sunday for dinner with my wife and kids. Restaurant did not seem busy as there was no wait time and a good amount of open tables. Service was OK mentioned it cause she got a couple things wrong on our order ( wrong tortillas , kids drinks not coming out till I reminded her) Our main problem was the food. It took a good 40 minutes to get our food. One burrito one steak plate and two kids pizza not during a rush. I got the advertised steak and shrimp plate. I asked for medium rare on the steak and it came it well done. The quality of the steak was bland and texture was very chewy. The rice and shrimp came out COLD. Not lukewarm, not kinda warm but cold as if it's been out for at least 15 minutes. Normally I would have alerted management and have gotten it refired but I noticed another table across the way had sent back both their entrees. So I decidedly box up my meal and just eat it at home. Wife had a chimichanga and it come out hot and was tasty. But was served without the guacamole as Advertised. Hope kitchen gets the help it needs as this was my local el Torito that I hadn't been back too in a couple years. read more

Review for Sunday Brunch only. So I got a $10 off coupon the mail and decided to try out the El Torito Sunday brunch. Price was food and with this coupon it was even better! Went with my mother and the food was actually very good! I must say that the selection was kind of lacking, as many trays were completely empty and we thought maybe they would bring out more food and they never did. Mom tried the menudo which she said was fantastic. I tried a bunch of other stuff and the only thing I did not care for was the enchiladas they were kind of hard and taste was not good. Everything else was really good! Tamales, bread, tacos, flan, churros! Our server (an older gentlemen, super nice) informed us that brunch included Champagne (we had no idea) so if we wanted to make some mimosas he could bring some champagne. Greeeaaatt!!! Alcohol at 10AM is always a good deal damn it, I don't care what anyone says! Good food, nice service, and the price was very good. Will be back to brunch. Also, I was so full and a little drunk that I forgot about using the coupon. But that's ok, I can go next Sunday. read more

I was in the area for a wedding and recently visited El Torito and had a great experience overall. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our waitress, Marleni, was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu. She recommended some of her favorite dishes and even helped us customize a few items to our liking. As for the food, everything we ordered was delicious. The fajitas were sizzling and full of flavor. The salsa and guacamole were both fresh and tasty. And the margaritas were some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was also great. The decor was festive and colorful, and the music added to the lively vibe of the restaurant. Despite being busy, the noise level was not overwhelming and we were still able to have a conversation. Overall, I would highly recommend El Torito to anyone looking for Mexican cuisine. And if you happen to be lucky enough to have Marleni as your server, you're in for a real treat. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable and memorable. read more

This review is long overdue, and it's time to sing the praises of El Torito! Yes, it's part of a well-known chain, but what truly elevates this location is the exceptional staff and their unwavering commitment to customer service. Juan, Angel, Alfredo and today, Edwin, went above and beyond to make us feel genuinely welcomed and valued, as they always do. This El Torito has become our trusted go-to spot. The prices are fair, especially considering the generous portions and quality of the food. In a world where many restaurants seem to prioritize profit over people, El Torito stands out. We recently experienced the stark contrast at El Zarape, where we were completely ignored. It only reinforced our appreciation for the warm, family-like atmosphere we consistently find here. Thank you, El Torito, for being a pillar of our community and a shining example of what true customer service means. You've earned our loyalty, and we'll continue to return for the delicious food and the exceptional treatment read more

Gloria is amazing! She was attentive, friendly but professional, knows the menu forward and backward, pleasant and nice to deal with. I appreciate her so much. We even sang together "happy birthday" to my friend and she even took our picture. I felt like at home with her, like she's our friend, helping us celebrate my friend's birthday. I love Gloria! She makes you feel like family but still she maintains professionalism, giving the best service, making sure we are happy with our meal ! I just want to add, that hopefully El Torito (Katella Ave., Cypress Ca) will improve the lighting in the dining area, it wasn't festive, it looked like going to an office building where not all the lights were on, it looked dim, but not the "restaurant ambience" feeling. It felt like the dining area was an office, saving on electricity where only half of the lights are on. Pls improve the lighting, it doesn't give justice to the reputation of "el torito" as having a nice restaurant ambience/atmosphere. read more

Fantastic Sunday Brunch with Exceptional Service! I recently visited the Cypress El Torito for their Sunday brunch, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! The food selection was diverse and delicious, with everything from classic Mexican dishes to breakfast favorites. The taco station was the definite highlight! What really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was very attentive and friendly, ensuring that our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. I want to give a special shout-out to the manager, Jose, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. He was genuinely welcoming and checked in with us multiple times to ensure we were enjoying our meal. His dedication to customer satisfaction really made a difference. If you're looking for a great Sunday brunch spot, I highly recommend El Torito in Cypress. The food is excellent, and the service, especially from Jose and his team, is top-notch! read more

Wow ! Kudos to Anagely and her team. We stopped coming to el Torito a while back, and today we decided to give it an other try. We were impressed with the quality of service we received. Since the minute we walked in, the hostess had a big smile and guided us to our table. The dinning room seem very clean and well managed. Our server was very professional and knowledgeable. We had fajitas because those are our favor although we were not sure if there were going to be sizzling or cold like our last experience, we went for it . Yummy yummy! There were soooooo good , the manager visited our table and we shared our past experience. She was very happy that this experience was wonderful . Anagely was very professional and made us feel like we were family. All employees seemed to be working very harmoniously. Thanks again, Anagely and your team for a great dinning experience . For sure we will be back !! read more

I've been here a handful of times, and without a doubt I'd give this place 5/5 every single time! They have a great variety of authentic Mexican dishes, and the ambiance is perfect. The warm lighting creates a cozy, intimate atmosphere, especially at night. On top of that, the restaurant is always spotless and very well maintained. Gloria was our server for my girlfriend and me, and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive throughout our entire visit. She constantly checked in on us, offered more chips and salsa, made sure our drinks were always topped off, and greeted us with "amigos" while speaking Spanish. Those little personal touches made us feel genuinely welcomed and at home. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back again! Muchas Gracias Gloria, bar staff, back of house/ cooks. read more

Amazing Brunch Experience at El Torito! We had such a fantastic brunch at El Torito, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible server, Jorge! From the moment we sat down, Jorge made us feel welcome and taken care of. He kept our table stocked and not once did our drinks run empty--he was always one step ahead! Jorge was not only attentive but also super friendly and entertaining, which really made the whole experience more enjoyable. He brought great energy to the table, checked in regularly without being intrusive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find service this good. Jorge truly went above and beyond, and we'll definitely be back--partly for the food, but mostly for the awesome service! Highly recommend brunch here, and if you're lucky enough to have Jorge as your server, you're in for a treat! read more

We had a really disappointing experience at El Torito on Saturday evening. We were seated around 6:45 and placed our order at 6:52. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. Our kids didn't receive their food until 7:20, by then, the adults had already finished our tacos. We had to ask multiple times about both the kids' meals and our appetizer, which should have come out well before entrées. On top of that, our water glasses were never refilled, and basic attentiveness was missing throughout the visit. What made it worse was watching the table behind us, who sat down and ordered after us, receive their appetizers well before ours or the kids' meals. It was frustrating and made the whole dining experience feel overlooked. Overall, the lack of communication and poor timing with the food left us very unsatisfied. read more

The server brought us the burger & quesadilla, no guacamole. I asked if the quesadilla came with guacamole, and she said yes. She came back with guacamole and sour cream. She said she'd come by in a few minutes to check on us, and she never came back. The food was bad. The burger was dry, had very few mushrooms, and the bottom of the bun was soggy. I removed the bun and ate the burger with a fork and knife. The guacamole was green but not fresh. It was slimy and didn't taste good, which is a mystery since this is a Mexican restaurant. The server was around the restaurant, but didn't look at us. We finished eating and waited for the check. Again, she didn't even look at us. Another server (younger, very friendly) saw us try to flag our server down and she came by to help. She brought us the check, I went to the register, and paid. We won't be coming back.

They have benches just right outside the door so you have somewhere to sit as you wait. Inside, you can hear a mixture of music, chatter, and the movement of the plates. With glass doors and large glass windows on one side, the restaurant is well lit naturally during the day. Service has always been pleasant. Staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient.

The dining area is actually a pretty good size, very clean, and the cashier whom I picked my order up from was very nice. She asked me to help myself to the salsa bar while my food was finishing up and their salsas were delicious and fresh (you must try the mango habanero salsa)! I just got takeout and ate my lunch back at my desk and although I found the nachos to be expensive (14.02), they were very delicious! The chips appeared to be homemade and not soggy. Lots of crema and crumbled queso along with refritos and chunks of chicken breast. I added jalapenos and of course the salsas that I got and they just complimented my nachos that much more! I will definitely be back and look forward to trying other menu items!
