We have been coming here for Sunday brunch for years, and one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is Adriana. She is hands down one of the best servers we've ever had. She always remembers us, greets us with a smile, and makes us feel so welcome every single visit. Adriana is friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything, even when the restaurant is busy. She makes sure our drinks are full and she always checks in to make sure we're enjoying everything without ever making us feel rushed. Great service is hard to find, and Adriana consistently goes above and beyond. She truly makes our Sunday brunch something we look forward to every week. If you're lucky enough to have Adriana as your server, you're in excellent hands. Thank you for always taking such great care of us! read more

The service was very slow took 45 minutes to get our food and the place was almost empty. The happy hour menu has changed and not for the better, less choices higher prices, the guacamole with Chicharrones had chunks of fat, not regular Chicharrones. The taco Birria used to be 3 tacos now is only 2 tacos and higher prices and poor quality. The street tacos over priced and not very good. We also ordered from the regular menu, took another extra 10 minutes to bring the food. This happened during the World Cup games. Now I know why this place was almost empty. Over all very disappointing. read more

The buffet has a lot of variety. Tacos station, menudo, breakfast items and some seafood. The waffle and crape station. Along with other desserts Kids and adult can enjoy. Plus ending the buffet with a flan or waffle is the best. read more

Every once in a while I wonder why I don't eat at El Torito more often, and then I come back and remember exactly why I've been a fan for so long. The food is consistently delicious, but if I'm being honest, I'm just as excited for the chips and salsa, although it's way too easy for me to fill up before the main course arrives. The team at this Ontario location always does an excellent job of making you feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the meal. Another thing I appreciate is that it's usually easy to get a table, even when other nearby restaurants have long waits. It's become one of those dependable spots where I know I can count on a great meal and great service every time. read more

First time at El Torito and honestly... it surprised me in a good way. Came here with a group of coworkers and friends and ended up spending most of the night at the bar. The vibe was actually pretty fun. They had a live DJ and a dance floor, which turned it into more of a nightlife spot than I expected. The crowd was interesting too. You had people in their 20s all the way up to their 50s, but everyone was just minding their own business and enjoying themselves. No weird vibes, no drama. Music was decent. A mix of rap, oldies, and Latin music. Nothing crazy, but enough to keep the vibe going. Food held its own. Chips and salsa paired perfectly with drinks. We ordered tacos and sopes to share and they were pretty solid. Not life changing, but definitely did the job for a night out. Shoutout to our server Rosa. She did a great job taking care of our group and made sure everything was going smoothly the whole time. Definitely appreciated, especially with a bigger party. Now here is where it lost some points. The Mexican candy shots. Way too sweet & sour and barely any alcohol for $13 a shot. I ordered 10 thinking it would kick the night up a notch... yeah, not really. Dropping $130 on what tasted more like juice than a proper shot kind of killed the mood at the end. Overall, fun spot with good vibes, decent food, and a lively crowd. read more

Big Thank You to Rosa C. She was extremely courteous professional and offered service with a smile. We live in Reno, NV and make sure we stop thru here once a year. Service is always great, but Rosa and our bartender went above and beyond. Two thumbs up! The Maxwell's. read more

My overall takeout experience was good. The customer service received upon taking my order was okay. However, the service received at receiving my order was welcoming and excellent. The food was presented well, hot, and taste delicious. The macho combo consist of a Chili relleno, sour cream enchilada and cheese enchilada (I substituted for tamale), beef baracoa crispy taco, rice and beans with that customer favorite that keeps us coming back for more, sweet corn cake!!! read more

Our exceptional server, Nora, provided my family and me with an outstanding dining experience. During a busy Sunday brunch service, she ensured our needs were met with exemplary attention, from clearing dishes and engaging with us to consistently refilling my champagne glass. It was a truly positive visit, and I anticipate returning in the near future. Thank you, Nora, for your excellent service. The Ambiance here is so fun with music playing in the background. read more

El Torito - Chilaquiles freshly made - Mexican Near Me - Ontario, California

I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants, but this location holds a special memory for me. This restaurant's hosts a Mother's Day buffet that my mother absolutely enjoyed. The food was tasty and the service great. So, it's been some time since I have been to this particular El Torito, but the memories were still vibrant in my mind and even more so since my mother"s passing. We were there celebrating my sister's graduating from college. We were promptly greeted at the door and shown to our table with little delay. The restaurant has an old-style Mexican decor of large chairs and lights that have the representation of candles. The server was prompt but a bit stiff and mechanical. All-in-all the server did an okay job. I had the combo platter: cheese enchilada, crispy chicken flautas, chicken tamale, beans and rice, and it comes with signature sweet corn cake. But let me start with the chips and salsa. For me, the meal begins with testing how tasty and good the chips and salsa are. The salsa was closer to a Pico de gallo and watery. The salsa that came with the meal was sweet, the sweetest salsa I have ever had in my life. I had a small bowl of tortilla soup. I use to make this soup and do not recall potatoes in the mix , and I served it hot not just barely hot/warm. The food was presented as "hot", but the food itself was barely warm. It was sad to feel the nostalgia slip away as a sampled the chicken flautas. They are not sweet, but the crispy flautas were acceptable, but I asked for jalapeños to have some spice and heat to the meal, the cheese enchilada was decent and, much to my surprise, hot. Somehow, they managed to find the oldest corn tortilla and was hard on the edges and difficult to chew to make the enchilada. Now, I'm a cheap drink and rarely have alcohol when I go to dine unless someone else is driving, but the mango margarita was mild, tasted like mango and absolutely devoid of alcohol - keep in mind that it says a lot from someone who cannot get past one drink without feeling sleepy. El Torito has lost that family, cultural style connection that I so Fondly remember them for. The spicy favorable food that was always better than chain style food, but tonight, I had a Luke warm sweet meal, and skip the sweet corn cake that is served as a lump of sugar cake. I left disappointed and very, very sober. read more

Love El Torito's brunch! My family comes here often for holidays because the food selection is great and it saves us from cooking. This time, my friends and I celebrated Galentine's here and it was perfect. Booking through inKind/OpenTable was super easy, even when I had to update the reservation last minute. Our server was fantastic and the food was phenomenal as always. Highly recommend for big groups--10/10 for service and food! read more

We had a great baby shower here. The buffet was exceptional. The food is delicious and well organized with staff that is on top of all the refills and assistance needed. Maria was in charge of our party and she was fantastic. She got us everything we needed and met all our requests. She was the angel of our event! The event was 3 hours which was perfect for 1.5 hr buffet and then games and visiting with friends and family. read more

Just recently went there to pre-game for my sister's birthday. We went for margarita Monday. Our waitress was nice and sweet. We ordered the wings and the chorizo tacos and they were very good. My sister order enchiladas, food was good per usual and hot as always. I was actually impressed with the wings as the wings they used were not all big (definitely not hormonal) we had mango habanero and buffalo and they were tasty 5/5 for those. read more

I had heard of this location in the past, but I had never been here. We get this location catered to my work and their food is always good. Their cheese enchiladas are my favorite for catering! A friend was visiting and decided to have lunch here while we waited for top golf. There was no wait and were sat right away. They have a very spacious sitting area, outdoor seating and the bar area that has a dance floor. My bf and I had their Cadillac margaritas from happy hour. I ordered steak quesadilla and it was delicious! My bfs shrimp enchiladas were also very tasty and the shrimp perfectly cooked. For bday, they brought a flan with a candle for my friend and they fed him his first spoon! He asked me not to post the pic, but it was a great experience. read more

A great place to bring family and friends! Make sure to make a reservation for their Sunday all inclusive (mimosa and soft drinks) buffet if you don't want to wait long for a table here. Overall the service is 10/10. Adriana our server was phenomenal and was very attentive to our table. The team at this location is very friendly and eager to help in anyway possible. The food areas are always well kept and they replenish the food very often. They have people making sure there's never an empty platter. They have a great selection of offerings for every age (even a small section for kids). Clean and family friendly! They also have a lovely mariachi that help set the vibes in the dining areas. You can request songs for a price but overall a great option. read more

Went on a Saturday evening , we haven't been here since last year ,but let me tell you this place went down hill fast. We came with a group of 15 ,our server Gloria v was the worst, I hope she doesn't lose her job over this but rather puts some fire under her to be more attentive to the customers and their needs. Our chips and salsa came within reasonable time our drinks were taken in a timely order,and once our main course was ordered. Our server "Rarely" showed her face to see how things went. I had to walk up to the front kitchen and ask for more silverware and and napkins, and when the busboy told me our server would tend to us, I told him " no she won't she disappeared" and he said I'm sorry I'll get your silverware and napkins. One of our guest them needed some salt as the food was bland on so many levels for just about all of our guestsz not to mention the tortillas were dry and chicken was overcooked.pretty bad. I then got up to ask for more chips because we ran out and our drinks were never offered to be refilled. Utterly bad bad bad service. Never again will I ever come back. On another note the tables need to replaced not repainted over with a paint roller , they have been painted with the roller for the past several years and are so sticky from the latex that it's just pretty pathetic. El torito should be remodeled soon as it's fallen apart. Lastly, my sons espresso martini was a joke ,it had so .much coffee grounds and was very watered down. I didn't know this until we drove home. So, it was a nightmare. I think what was more distasteful is after we were all finished with our food our waitress finally came back and said is there anything else you need. 8% tip is what she got and that was pushing it. read more

The food was excellent, and I really enjoyed the Trio Parrillada. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. I only saw my server three times: when he took my order, when he brought my drink, and when he delivered my food. After that, he never checked back on the table. I waited for quite some time hoping he would return, but eventually had to ask another server for my check because he never came back. I was never offered a refill on my drink, nor was I receive one throughout my meal. What made the experience more disappointing was seeing the female servers around me being very attentive to their tables, while the young male server assigned to me seemed completely disengaged. It's unfortunate because what could have been a great dining experience was ultimately overshadowed by the poor service. The food was outstanding, but the lack of attention from my server made the overall experience disappointing. read more

Came here to celebrate my friend's 40th birthday and everything was wonderful. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious.

She made sure everyone felt taken care of throughout the evening, which made the celebration even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Service was fast - girls are very attentive . Place is pretty big , waiting period is not too long either. I'm sorry - I'm Giving 2 stars just because they didn't meet my expectations. read more

El Torito - Beef Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Ontario, California

El Torito has officially revived the lost art of the Sunday brunch. Sitting here on a sunny Sunday morning, surrounded by mariachi music and happy families, I felt transported to the pre‑pandemic brunch era we all miss. The food is phenomenal -- chile verde, authentic menudo, and plate after plate of classics you'll want to savor. Pace yourself, because you'll want to try everything. Service was exceptional. Rosa kept us refilled and cared for with genuine warmth, and Irwin made sure our table stayed clear so we could keep enjoying round after round. A true Inland Empire gem. I've always told people about El Torito, but now I can say it proudly: El Torito is back, and it's better than ever- coming back strong without a doubt!!! read more

Unfortunately, my family and I did not enjoy our experience tonight. First, we were seated in an area of the restaurant off to the side where it was so hot and humid with no air conditioning. My husband's Shirley temple tasted like water and they never asked how I wanted the meat on my burger cooked. On top of that, when they brought out my meal they told me they ran out of French fries. My replacement? RICE AND BEANS! With a burger! I wasn't asked what alternative I wanted, I was just given that. And the final cherry on top is the restroom had no toilet paper or paper towels. read more

I was staying at a local hotel down the road from my apartment due to a flood from upstairs. My daughter and I got off of work and decided to work out in the gym at the hotel and then she wanted to go eat. She said she really wanted to have a Pacifico Beer. We had the sweetest waitress Karina. She was extremely attentive. My daughter is a vegetarian and she loved the menu choice. We could hear the music from the club inside and we were enjoying it. There was a table across from us giving our sweet little waitress a hard time so we wanted to make sure that we were extra nice to her and give her a shout out. She did an absolute excellent job. read more
