Ate lunch here today and had Mario as our server. He went above and beyond to make our lunch experience amazing. Thank you!

Honestly stay away from this place. Food here feel like a microwaved meal from the dollar tree. Servers disappear and I've never been in an emptier restaurant. Truly don't know how they're in business. They recently had rats as well. read more

Great service! When I arrived I was greeted by the manager Wendy and she sat our party down as we had a reservation. We went in for brunch and had a great time. We were a party of 15 and our server Jose was great. He was a great server and went above and beyond. I loved that he was very attentive, kept refilling our drinks and kept bringing on the mimosas. The buffet its self was great. I loved the variety of food and options. I loved the taco buffet. The handmade tortillas was the bomb. I will definitely be back and can't wait to have some sizzling chicken enchiladas. read more

Juan Reyes was a great server. Very attentive and kind. Food came out fast and every time I asked for salsa he was quick. Thank you Juan.

My partner and I have been coming here for years and absolutely love the weekly brunch and Saturday breakfasts. Jose and Mario have probably served us every time we've attended and they have always given us exemplary service throughout the years. Also the bacon wrapped shrimp is chefs kiss. Looking forward to more brunches in the future! read more

I came here for some happy hour bites, and I'm so glad I did! The cantina offers happy hour every day from 3 pm to 9 pm--who doesn't love happy hour every single day? I tried the chicken sopes ($6) and the street corn off the cob ($4). Both were delicious, but be warned--there's a bit of a kick to them, so next time, I'll ask for a little less spice. It seems like a lot of people come for the margarita flight ($10), which includes classic mango and blackberry flavors. The waitress suggested I try one since it's a top seller, but since I don't drink often , I passed. However, if you enjoy a good drink, they also offer $4 draft beers during happy hour. They have a variety of specials throughout the week too. For example, kids eat for just $1 on Wednesdays with the purchase of an adult meal, and they offer a fun brunch on Sundays. Be sure to check out all the great deals! read more

This place is a joke, we were there today, the food was horrible, I ordered spinach enchiladas, the onions were not even sautéed the spinach in the enchiladas was not cut up it was like steamed and put in the tortillas tasteless Hardly any cheese very bad tasting My friend ordered chicken enchiladas hardly any sauce she asked the waitress is it with flour tortillas she said yes it wasn't it was corn tortillas our other friend ordered shrimp taco very tasteless Don't believe any of the good reviews We had a horrible experience we came back hungry read more

I waited at the front with two other gentlemen. The waiter seated and helped the first two men ahead of me, but never came back to help me. I stood in front of the restaurant for 10 minutes alone never was offered a seat or a menu. Even the bartender ignored me. I left without lunch. Don't come here they will ignore you . read more

It had been a while since my last visit so I wasn't sure what to expect but all of the food was very tasty. The salsa they give with chips has the right amount of flavor with spice. Service was pretty good, a bit lengthy between table visits but overall fine. Front desk staff were nice. The interior looks just how I remember it, definitely would return! read more

Food was decent, service was exceptional. We decided to celebrate a birthday here. Our waiter sang happy birthday along with other staff to my younger sibling. That made our night. Their mojitos are really good, I recommend that. I also ordered a version of supreme fajitas that came with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The presentation of the plate was a little disappointing but everything else went so well, I would comeback and maybe order something else. read more

José is the BEST WAITER in the world! We live right next to the Woodland Hills El Torito and make the trip to this El Torito because of José. He knows all the details of what we like and is prompt at providing. We never have to ask for a refill-he's so on top of it! He comes back to check on us often and cleans all the used dishes and napkins-keeping our table nice and tidy! The buffet is amazing here for lunch. It's delicious! José is not bothered if we askhim for extra limes or salsa or whatever. He truly makes the meal! I highly recommend coming here for the lunch buffet---and ask for José! read more

Our party had made a reservation for today, Father's Day-walked past the hoards of people waiting as our reservation was at 10:00am and it was a bit past it... To find out that the person who took the reservation put it on the incorrect day! Enter Wendy, the manager who was there helping the host. Not only did she say she'd take care of us, she was so extremely helpful and hospitable with our party (that included 3 young girls eager to eat) , and she sat us almost right away. I'll never forget her! She could have easily been overwhelmed with how many people there were, how many people were impatiently waiting to eat, her staff asking her questions, customers etc... But instead it felt like it was just us! She was incredible and we even sat at the most perfect location!!! After we sat down it was only a few minutes for our server, Sherie, to come and take our drink order. She was so on top of everything, from drinks to refills, to anything we needed the entire time! She never stopped smiling and continued the whole time we were there to make sure we were happy! In the end, even though it was Father's Day... My husband snuck the check, paid and paid extra tip to Sherie and because she was SO good my father gave her even more tip-cash on the side. So in all, the service was stellar, the food was absolutely phenomenal and our entire party was beyond happy. I've told everyone to go on special occasions and am crossing my fingers that we can have a school fundraiser here!!! Thank you both Wendy and Sherie read more

Open on Christmas, which I appreciate. Sorry for people who had to work the holiday. It was a little crowded, had to wait about half an hour. No problem. But service was really slow. Slow to take our order. Slow to get our food. Slow to get our check. Food was not hot and was meh. Roof leaked. Bathroom was not clean. I got a peak at the register area. Trash can was overflowing. I only left a 10% tip. I don't reward poor service and poor food. Probably won't go back. Do better, El Torito. read more

It has been a while since we've been here and remembered how good the food was so we decided to come back. We came at an off time but still covered by lunch. The receptionist welcomed us and asked if we would be interested in their buffet at $19.95pp. She invited us to check out the buffet line to see if we'd like to try it. Walking along the line we saw a fresh taco station, soup, salad bar, dessert bar and the main entrees with all the fixings. We were immediately sold. Food was delicious as expected and service was very attentive. We got fresh salsa and chips which were so delicious. Honestly the food was so good that we didn''t know which one to eat first. Everything was fabulous. At these prices we feel that it was worth it. Will definitely keep this in our regular favorite restaurant list. The place gives you that authentic Mexican vibe without the clutter. They have a marvelously updated toilet/Wash room very very clean and modern. I recommend this place. It is definitely worth the money. I suggest you come hungry. read more

Mario is a great host. He really is attentive and friendly. Great place to have lunch with yummy food and great ambiance.

Came on a Monday and there wasn't really anybody apart from like a few groups of people. Was mildy expensive and there was little to no options of food , to be called a buffet ? No. All the food except the tacos echo a mano were cold and below average. Service was good as well as the atmosphere and everything including the bathrooms were clean , there was just no options and the food that WAS there was mid read more

The service, the food and the space was conducive to end our annual board retreat. All day long our board of directors were having our annual retreat. We ended it with dinner at El Torito. It was the perfect ending. Thank you. read more

We waited for our food for over an hour. The staff kept telling us "sorry we are short staffed" - which I completely understand and empathize with - but why are we sitting people and making them wait well over an hour before they get their food? If we had been told that the wait for food was over and hour I would have gone somewhere else. Around the hour and a half mark we asked for our food to be brought out with to go boxes .... Extremely disappointing service. read more
