I absolutely love Adriana she is my favorite waitress! After this place has gone through so many changes and management the places changed for the worse! Never enough staff and managers speak terrible to the staff! If it wasn't for Adriana I wouldn't be going there anymore read more

We went to El Torito's brunch for the first time. Chucho was our waiter and he was amazing! Since we had never been there before, he took time out of his rounds to walk us through all of the food stations. He kept our glasses full of champagne also!! He was great!!! The food was really good! Lots of Mexican dishes, along with the El Torito sweet corn cake, and the El Torito Cilantro Pepita Caesar Dressing, which I hadn't had for a LONG time!! There was also an omelette bar and taco bar ( made to order). Price at the time of our visit was $45 pp, which we feel was a pretty good deal. read more

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

Jessica was hands-down the highlight of our night! Super fun, fast, and on top of everything our drinks were never empty and the vibes were perfect. Amazing service with a great personality. Thank you Jessica! Can't wait for our next visit 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

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

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

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

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

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

Once again, Maria A. comes through as the champion! Sunday brunches with her are smooth and effortless. We never have to ask for anything, she observes and predicts our needs. El Torito has excellent tacos, pozole, menudo, and all of the other usually expected breakfast foods. Excellent every time!! read more

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. 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

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

If I could give them zero stars I would. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They over booked. We had reservations made for 11am for Mother's Day Brunch. We showed up early as the day would be busy and expected to have a little wait which didn't bother us. About 30 minutes into us waiting, we asked how much longer the wait would be and they told us that they were still sitting their 10AM reservations!!! We waited a little longer & asked again, they said they have 7 groups ahead of us still. We waited another 30 minutes and now out of no where there's 10 groups ahead of us... TEN GROUPS!! how does it go from 7 to 10 groups ahead of us? In total we waited a little over an hour for a 11am reservations! We will not be coming back and will not recommend it to anyone! They need to do better when they are booking and on their customer service! 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

I was totally impressed by the food selection today at Sunday brunch buffet, everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. Compared to any other weekend we've been there this Sunday was on the busier side. My family and I were seated at the cantina section of the restaurant and had the pleasure of having Adriana as our waitress. She totally went above and beyond for us at Sunday brunch! She was so sweet and attentive, checking in on us constantly and making sure we had everything we needed read more

El Torito was overbooked. and understaffed. We were a party of 10 and were seated at a picnic table and uncomfortable plastic party rental type chairs in the var area. Long wait in buffet lines do to most food trays being empty. Food quality and temperature was okay. Will not return for Mother's Day Brunch. read more

Milvia provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. She was extremely attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the entire brunch. Her positive attitude and professionalism truly stood out, and she consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. She made the experience enjoyable and welcoming. Excellent service all around! thanks to Milvia! read more

So disappointed. The "new" birria was gross and it's a dollar extra. Save your money and your appetite. The bowl barely had any meat -- she was literally fishing around for pieces -- and what little there was came in fatty chunks instead of shredded. The asada looked like dog food, and even the michelada tasted off. To make matters worse, they got rid of the corn at the taco bar, which used to be my favorite part. The two girls working the taco area around 7pm seemed more focused on their gossip than helping customers and looked bothered when I asked questions. I used to enjoy coming here for Taco Tuesday, but after this visit I won't be going back. read more

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Drinks were excellent. Inside was very nice. Then comes the check. I find a charge that says "surcharge" that nobody seems to be able to explain. I was handed a menu and was shown a statement in very small writing in the middle of the menu at the bottom of the page an explanation of added 3.75% surcharge, that made no sense. Be aware! read more

What was supposed to be a special celebration turned into an extremely stressful and upsetting experience. We had a reservation for 11:15 AM, yet we were not seated until approximately 12:20 PM. Waiting over an hour despite having a reservation was unacceptable. When we were finally seated, we were placed in what appeared to be an overflow area inside the patio. The tables were packed so tightly together that it felt unsafe and hazardous in the event of a fire or emergency. Every time the guests at the table next to us needed to get up, I had to completely stop what I was doing just to allow them to pass through. This was not the fault of the guests or the staff serving us, but clearly a management issue caused by overbooking, accepting too many walk-ins, and being understaffed. I want to acknowledge that our server did the best she could under the circumstances, and I truly felt bad for her because she seemed overwhelmed. Unfortunately, the poor organization and overcrowding made the overall experience miserable. Additionally, the food quality was disappointing, and due to the extreme overcrowding, I was barely able to try many items from the brunch. Every time I attempted to get food, stations were either empty or there were overwhelming crowds of people packed together. As someone who struggles with anxiety and claustrophobia, this environment was extremely triggering and uncomfortable. If I had to rate this experience, it would be a negative score. I can honestly say I will never return to this location again. This experience completely ruined Mother's Day for me, my mother, and my sister. I understand that Mother's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants, but that does not justify creating unsafe conditions and putting guests at risk simply to maximize profit. There should have been proper crowd control, spacing, staffing, and reservation management in place. I also spoke directly with the manager, Myriam, to express my concerns during our visit. Unfortunately, she did not appear concerned or interested in resolving the situation, and I left feeling as though my concerns were dismissed entirely. I am extremely upset by this experience and plan to pursue a formal complaint. I also took pictures and videos documenting the overcrowding and unsafe conditions as proof that proper protocols were not being followed. read more

Made a reservation for 11am got there around 10:50. Was told they were about 30 min behind. At 11:30 was told they had 7 groups ahead of us still. The manager was very rude when we asked about it. She needs customer service training for sure. Went back up a 12 at this time was told 10 groups ahead of us. Ask her how can that be she pretty much said to bad. We left at 12:10 to another restaurant. They finally text at 12:40 saying our table was ready. 1:40 min after reservation. Would not recommend this location at all. Very bad customer service read more

Please fix your time estimates. Not a large party. Was given a wait estimate of 30 mins. Waited over an hour and half. Don't lie to your customers to keep them waiting longer. People have kids to feed. With a realistic wait time we could have weighed other options. read more

Came here with a small group on the weekend because of the daily happy hour. Hadn't been to an El Torito in many years so I wasn't sure what to expect. The location is a bit hidden within a business and hotel complex and the restaurant space seemingly sharing a space in one of the business buildings is a little peculiar. Plenty of parking. Maybe we went on an off day. The bar service was minimally attentive, all drinks were filled well below the brim, and the happy hour food menu, though okay in price, did little to satiate as we ended up heading elsewhere before long. 2.5 read more

Ordered the steak quesadilla online. The service was friendly, and the lively Mexican music added a festive touch, though I waited a bit longer than expected for my order. The meal came with corn hash, salsa, and tortilla chips included, which complemented the dish nicely. There's a free parking lot, making it convenient for dine-in or pickup. Overall, a casual spot with nice service and a vibrant atmosphere. read more

I was disappointed in the buffet and when we just ordered off the menu. For the buffet, the chocolate fountain seemed to not be properly melted at the right temperature and was not flowing consistently at the right level. Not appealing at all!! The desserts looked like the typical buffet desserts. Nothing that wowed you. The meats were okay, but only 3 options. Boneless Ham would have been my least favorite. The sides were typical for a buffet and they were just okay. The steak fajitas seemed like a smaller portion and a little overcooked. It didn't sizzle very long. The pork carnitas seemed like a smaller portion as well. The enchiladas looked decent and cheesy. read more

Took out my daughter for lunch carnitas were soo salty and old and food not tasted good enchiladas taste like chili can before was good What a disappointment the cucumber lemon water had a lot of lemon was so sour food was worst than cafeteria food read more

From the moment I walked up the service was bad. There was three staff talking amongst themselves at the desk where you check in and not one of the three staff acknowledged either of us. It even got to the point where I had actually say "someone needs to acknowledge me right now" Then the guy looked at me, in which case I asked if we just walk in and he said no we would need to be seated. Again, this is after several seconds of standing right in front of them, and none of them even greeting us not even a simple "we will be right with you." They didn't even look at us. We decided just to go straight to the bar after that. We were able to sit down right away. The music was good they had mariachis. The vibe in the energy and there is great. The place is very large, there's tons of seating in the bar section. And there's actually two bars, one full bar and a smaller one. They have hightop tables, bar, seating, booths. The restrooms are clean and nice. I love the mirrors. When you can get a hold of the staff, they're very friendly. Unfortunately, on this beautiful Sunday, they were incredibly short staffed. Our poor bartender was not only bartending everyone that was in there, (more than 20ppl) but he was also the one taking the orders as well. We spent a good amount of time waiting just for our order to be taken. And we actually had to have a server from the other room come and take it because he was too busy. I ordered the lemon rosemary chicken. I believe it was called. When reading it, the mango habanero salsa on top sounded so good. So tell me why when I got my plate there was no salsa at all . The chicken was still very delicious. I didn't want to ask for them to get salsa because as it was, we had to wait a long time for each drink. Anytime we did need something The bartender would have to go to get it, which means we're taking him away from the bar completely. Which made me not want to ask for anything not even a fork. The food is very good, and the drinks were delicious. My friend got the trio plate and he loved all of it Unfortunately, the service. Terrible. We were there for 3 hours. lol because that's how long it took to get drinks, to get our food. We weren't planning on being there that long. Overall, the experience was not great. I was very disappointed in my chicken missing the toppings and ingredients it's being advertised for. Took my leftovers home, I must say the mango habanero salsa was so freaking good! I really wish they would've actually put it on the chicken when they served it. I'm so disappointed. It would have tasted so good if it would've been fresh. Also the water bottle in the picture, because I had to go to my car and get my water bottle out because they were taking so long to take our order and I was so thirsty. I literally couldn't wait anymore to drink water so I had to go to my car. read more
