    Margarita flight

    FYI THEY charge for salsa now. Food and margs are good. I ordered the cheese enchilada and relleno plate and it was pretty good. They give you chips and beans so it's kind of strange getting more beans when the food comes. The service was super slow and I felt like a red headed step child. The ambiance was cool. Looks like they were setting up for a wedding or something but it was fine. The bar looked happening but we had the kids

    Had a good time with the girls and the food and service were AMAZING. The drinks stayed filled and the food was BAWM! Shoutout to our waiter Danny & manager Mel was sweet and attentive too! Will be coming back forsure.

    We had the best time at El Torito Ontario. I really enjoyed my chilaquiles and my French toast from the new Saturday menu. Not only was our waitress so accommodating, but the manager, Javier, was very personable and hospitable. My sister and I received the best customer service. We definitely look forward to coming back again.

    I came back here because I received a free appetizer. The email said something like we miss you but now I realized why I don't come here

    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.

    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.

    Guys check this. Place out . El Torito is the place to be in Ontario. It's not what you think this place is the VIBE . From the speedy service the upbeat staff and the man in charge Javier for making it all look so easy and welcoming. FRIENDS +DRINKS+ WORLD CUP = AMAZING MEMORIES

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Sunday buffet

    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.

    Chilaquiles freshly made

    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.

    Stopped in on NYE for a quick drink and was not disappointed. Great service and ambiance. The Dueño Margarita always hits the spot and the Queso Fundió is always on point. I left before the festivities started but the DJ was playing some good music. Always great service and drinks.

    I would like to formally express my concern regarding how my recent experience was handled…read more I was cut off from ordering another drink before I had even been given the opportunity to pay for my initial drink or discuss any available options. While I understand that staff may have discretion and responsibilities regarding alcohol service, I felt the manner in which this was handled was unnecessarily abrupt and aggressive. If there was a concern about continuing to serve me, I believe I should have been given the opportunity to complete my initial payment and have the situation explained to me before being refused further service. Instead, I felt that a decision was made prematurely, without any meaningful communication or opportunity to resolve the situation appropriately. I respect the establishment's right to make decisions regarding service, but I also expect those decisions to be communicated respectfully and professionally. The approach taken left me feeling uncomfortable and treated unfairly, and I believe the situation could have been handled with considerably more discretion and courtesy. I am providing this feedback because I hope the matter will be taken seriously and that similar situations can be handled more appropriately in the future

The biggest thing I think could be improved is being more specific about the actual event time. I looked at the flyer, and it clearly said "Puertas abren 9:30 PM," "Doors open 9:30pm" so the door time was clear. What wasn't clear was that the actual show time it wouldn't start until 11:30 PM. (Which wasn't announced until after everyone had already arrived and was inside the venue.) A lot of people arrived around 9:30 expecting the event to get started, and once they realized they would be waiting almost two hours, I personally saw people leaving and heard people saying they had work the next morning, that it was getting too late, or that they wouldn't have arrived that early if they had known. Some people actually left before the concert they came to see. I think that's especially important because you're in the Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga area and this was a Thursday night. There's a large audience here of people with jobs, families, businesses, and responsibilities who still want to go out, have a drink, listen to great music, and enjoy themselves--but they don't necessarily want to stay out until 2 or 4 in the morning on a Thursday night. There's also another reality affecting some people in ours communities right now. With the current concerns surrounding immigration enforcement and ICE activity, some people are understandably more cautious about being out late at night or driving long distances late at night. Whether that affects every customer or not, it's something worth considering when planning event times, especially in this area. Even something as simple as putting "Doors 9:30 PM -- Show 11:30 PM" on the flyer would make a huge difference. People would know exactly what to expect and could plan accordingly. Just some genuine feedback from someone who was there and saw what was happening.
