Next to them is a tree covered in Christmas lights, and next to that is a lit up aquarium looking thing. Even when I went to the restroom, I noticed that the cement floor had sparkly gold specks and something that looked like the Milky Way. As a vegetarian, I was so happy that the menu had leaf symbols so that I could quickly tell which items I could ask for without meat. The food came out fast. It felt like we had barely ordered them and the waitresses were suddenly coming out with them. The portions were huge, like my sister ordered the grande nachos and it really was grand. It looked like an appetizer that was meant to be shared with a group of people. The food tasted good. I enjoyed my meal so much that as big as it was, I devoured the majority of it and only stopped because I was too full. Towards the end, one of the employees asked if he could take away my plate and even though I knew he wasn't our waitress and it probably wasn't his job, I asked him for boxes instead. When our waitress came to our table to ask if I wanted boxes, the other employee at that moment handed us the boxes. I thought it was nice that the other employee did that for us even though he probably wasn't expected to. Overall, we had a great experience here.

Horrible experience today! Made reservations last month to host 10 people for baby shower today. Checked in at 11:15 for 11:30 reservation and was told that 1/2 our party needed to be present and they were cleaning a table for us. A few minutes later 1/2 of our party was present and I was told that another table was being cleaned up for us. Had yo ask for multiple updates when Jesus said he would take care of it and we were his "priority". Didn't see him for about10 minutes then asked another manager what was going on?!! I said my entire party is here, we wanted to decorate the table being it's a baby shower our reservation was set for 11:30 and its now almost 12pm even though I checked in 45 minutes earlier and was told by this manager that they got "slammed" with people and they couldn't control the amount of people followed by next time I should have a contract done because then the "HAVE TO HONOR IT". Really???!!! I should have done a contract for 10 people?!! WOW! Finally got seated because our guest of honor just wanted to eat and we said we would take ANY table at this point. I told Jesus I would never come back to the Ontario location again I wi stick with the Corona location as I have NEVER had any problems there. Jesus then said he would do whatever it took to make things right if it meant him taking care of the bill he would. He offered pitchers of margaritas and he did being 2 of those to the table and did not charge me. When he brought me the bill he said he had taken care of 1 person's brunch yet he initially had mentioned taking care of the entire bill. When I read thru the bill he in fact did NOT even take care of 1 brunch like he said. I was not about to argue or complain anymore and I shouldn't have had to be the one to be direct and tell either manager that YES they should take care of the bill or at least do more than a pitcher of margaritas for the table. $339 for our party and I will NEVER be back to this location again. Too bad because I do host brunch/dinners for my employees but won't come here to do anymore. Oh one more thing, they had chocolate milk out which had expired 4 days ago!! read more

Wonderful food experience today April 13, 2024 here at El Torino Cantina Authentica Restaurant located at 5 San Leandro Marina San Leandro, California 93577. Our sliders & stuffed shrimp bacon wrapped appetizers were both delicious. My wife & my steak, grilled chicken & shrimp fajitas were both plentiful and delicious. My son's trio platter was also enormous and delicious. Our daughter's taco trio were also plentiful and great tasting. The high flame table-side presentation of our fajitas was fantastic. Most importantly along with the great tasting & plentiful food, the customer service here at El Torino Restaurant Cantina Authentica San Leandro, California was outstanding. Our server, Jessica #712 was friendly, attentive & super kind. I truly appreciate her customer service. Today's restaurant experience here at El Torino is by far the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD IN THE BAY AREA. Thank you Jessica, this is what customer service and appreciation for patronage of a restaurant establishment is all about, job well done.My family and I will definitely be back!!! I highly recommend El Torino Cantina Authentica Restaurant for great tasting food at affordable prices with absolutely excellent customer service. My rating would be six stars!!! I was so happy about the service we received today that I forgot to photograph our food!!! Next time! read more

During our recent visit our family encountered a series of unfortunate events that left us both frustrated and disappointed. Initially, we ordered individual fajita plates but later decided to opt for the family-sized fajitas meal, believing it would be more cost-effective and suitable for our group. However, when the bill arrived, we were surprised to find an additional charge for the individual plate we thought we'd canceled. Addressing this issue with our server, he became defensive, insisting we hadn't explicitly stated our intent to cancel the plate. This led to the involvement of the manager, who approached the situation with aggression. As we tried to explain, he condescended, raised his voice, and questioned our actions, making us feel blamed for the misunderstanding. His dismissive response, "There's a picture, right?" only added to our discomfort. Such behavior is unacceptable, especially when a simple misunderstanding could have been resolved in a professional and respectful manner. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, we were made to feel as though we were trying to take advantage of the situation. This experience has left us hesitant to return, despite the quality of the food. read more

I had a disappointing experience booking a birthday buffet for 25 guests. While my visits with smaller groups have been positive, yesterday was unacceptable. Our reservation was from 4-6 PM; we arrived early, and the manager assured us we'd be seated shortly. Instead, we waited 25 minutes before being seated. One server handled our entire group, which led to extremely slow service--refilling drinks and taking orders was a frustrating ordeal. Our meal was prepaid, including buffet options, yet we didn't start eating until nearly 5 PM due to delays. To make matters worse, at 5:45 PM, the server informed us we had to pack up because our time was almost up. We requested an extra 30 minutes due to the late seating, which they begrudgingly granted, but for a nearly $1,000 reservation, the service was painfully lacking. The manager never checked on us during the slow arrival, and the overall experience was poorly managed. Additionally, it was 95 degrees outside, and we had to request the AC be turned down because the area was uncomfortably hot. Overall, if you're planning a birthday celebration here, avoid it. The service for large groups is consistently subpar, and this experience was a major disappointment. read more

Greeted by a powerful bull outside, I was gretted by lovely staff that saw me to my seat. I am handicapped in a wheelchair and was effortlessly navigated through the dining hall to a lovely seat with a beautiful view outside. Milvia, was very gracious and courteous and extremely professional. She gave me her recommendations and none of them were a miss at all. The quality of the food and service were very exceptional in a very frustrating time, having missed a flight at the local airport. Rosa also kept up with me making sure I was taken care of, my sour mood was probably apparent. I planned on leaving after I reached the maximum time I could check in for my flight, but because of Milvia and Rosa I decided to stay instead much longer than I originally planned ( the happy hour they told me about probably helped ). Absolutely took my mind off of my stress over missing part of my vacation and I'm sure the mango Margarita probably helped too (also Milvia's recommendation ) I'm so happy I just happened upon this place and now I'm going to make it a part of my plans for a pre flight lunch tradition every time I fly out of Ontario. read more

So, it's been ages since I set foot in El Torito, and boy, today reminded me exactly why! Strolled in on a Saturday afternoon, saw they had a breakfast buffet, and thought, "What the heck? Chilaquiles, menudo, or maybe an omelette could be fun!" Spoiler alert: it wasn't. From the moment we walked in, it felt like I was crashing a family reunion they didn't want me at. Service? Let's just say it could use a little...improvement. Then we hit the food options, and that's when the real letdown began. I mean, I've tasted cardboard with more flavor. The chips and salsa were the highlight, and that's saying something! The menudo was colder than my ex's heart--seriously, who serves cold menudo? And the omelette? Let's just say if "watery and bland" were a dish, this was it. Then came the bill--$100! For a party of 3 and a child (no alcohol). I could've eaten better at a gas station! So, lesson learned: El Torito, I'm done with you. And if you're thinking of going for the food? Save your appetite and your cash, folks. read more

Came in for lunch today with a big appetite but I was undecided on what to get. The moment I walked through the door, I was received by Jessica, who greeted me with a huge smile and a great attitude. She gave me a rundown of what was available and directed me to the bar, which was nice and cozy. Fabi, my server, was very friendly and gave great recommendations on the drink selection and recommended I try their buffet. It did not disappoint. Their tacos were nice and fresh (tortilla was made on the spot) and their selection of sides, salad, and lunch options were fantastic. I strongly recommend their corn bread, it's amazing! The whole time the manager, Milvia, was walking the establishment and checking on the guests, making sure their experience was top notch. I had nothing but nice things to say to her about the employees, food, and her attentiveness. If you're in the area, stop by. It won't disappoint.

I recently dined at El Torito in Ontario, Ca, and the customer service truly stood out. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Our server named Adrianna greeted us with a smile, offered great menu suggestions, and checked in just the right amount not too often, but never too far when needed. The food arrived promptly, and any special requests we had were handled with ease and professionalism. What impressed me most was how the team worked together with our waitress Adrianna; you could tell they cared about creating a positive experience. Even during a busy period, they remained calm, courteous, and efficient. Overall, the service elevated our meal and made us feel valued as customers.

Our family has been coming to this restaurant for many years. we've always had excellent service. We made reservations for approximately 30+ persons in the bar area to celebrate our brother's birthday during Sunday brunch. We must say they were very accommodating! Everything was set up and ready at 9am when our party arrived. Entrance to the restaurant is very inviting with big heaters when you walk in. The food presentation is excellent and the variety is delicious and appealing to all ages and tastes. We like the fact that they serve you portions at your request. The process for the omelette bar has been streamlined so you don't need to stand in line.

I normally do not take time out of my busy day to write a review for any business, but I placed a to go order for pick-up to the El Torito Restaurant in Ontario, CA. When I arrived in El Torito to pick-up my order, I didn't check my order while inside the restaurant. I just paid and left. When I reached my home, I noticed some of my order was missing. Needless to say, I was mad. I called El Torito, and a calm professional manager came on the phone. Her name is Evelyn. I gave her the check number from my receipt, and she asked if I could come back. I said, due to heavy traffic. I wouldn't be able to return. Evelyn offered to bring me my missing items. Evelyn came to my home with an extra entree, plus she provided a new meal. Wow! Evelyn drove to my home during rush hour traffic and brought me my meal. That's excellent service in my book. Thank you, Evelyn. You have the best customer service I've seen in a while!

My husband and I went last night, Saturday Sep 7th. We had went to the bar for happy hour and waited a while for our server, Nohemi, to take our order and then she disappeared. Half of our order comes out, we had no utensils or plates. We were trying to get the attention of somebody because who knows when our server was going to stop having conversation with her coworker in the corner of the bar. We eventually got utensils and still zero plates. We ate our wings on napkins.... at a restaurant. The least this waitress could do was drop off utensils and plates, how else do they expect people to eat? We eventually went up to the bar to ask for our check and asked for them to take off half the food that never came. This was by far the worst service we have ever had at a restaurant. So if you go, ask not to be served by Nohemi at the bar unless you want to eat with your hands and on the bare table read more

I had the most wonderful experience at El Torito in Ontario, and it's all thanks to the incredible manager on duty " Diane" Although we were served a bit late, she went out of her way to turn the situation around, offering to make our meal complimentary.

Came in for an early dinner since I skipped lunch and was on my way home. I was pleasantly delighted to find that the restaurant wasn't so busy so that meant I wouldn't have to wait all night for my food. I started with a light appetizer and a ice cold beer to get me in the mood. I must say, after a long day the beer hit really nice. I proceeded to order a few more beers before ordering food. I found myself getting a nice buzzzz and was beginning to start laughing at memes. I decided to order food once I realized I had trouble walking to the bathroom. I asked my server Sophia what she recommended and sold me on the dish. I must say she was spot on. She was attentive and very fast with my food as well as my drink orders. Once I ate all my food I decided I wanted some dessert and that ice cream is bomb diggity! Go and eat guys. Make sure Sophia helps you out! read more

And for dessert we got the churros and flan. We will be returning soon. I just wished i got our servers name. He was very attentive fast friendly and polite. He was an older gentlemen with black hair and a thick black mustache. read more

Each dish was prepared with care and precision, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It was evident that the chefs took great pride in their creations, using only the freshest ingredients to craft a memorable culinary experience. Overall, my visit was nothing short of perfect.

I recently visited El Torito, and I must say that my experience got off to a rocky start. There was quite a long wait, and it seemed like there was some confusion at the front. Frustrated with the situation, I asked to speak to a manager, and that's when Evelyn stepped in to save the day! Evelyn, the manager, was an absolute gem. She not only resolved the issue promptly but also went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was exceptional. Her dedication to customer service was truly remarkable. Thanks to Evelyn's excellent service, I left El Torito with a smile on my face and a newfound appreciation for their team's commitment to customer satisfaction. I'll definitely be coming back for more delicious food and amazing customer service. Evelyn, you're a star! Thank you for making my visit memorable! read more

I visited El Torito today and sat in the bar area, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Adriana, Fabi and Jessica were my servers, and they were very friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect the entire time. Drinks were on point, food was so good , Vicky made delicious omelets !! and they checked in just enough to make us feel well taken care of without being intrusive. Myriam the general manager checked in with us and you can really tell she's dedicated and appreciates her team. everything felt organized, welcoming, and professional. It's always nice to see management actively involved and creating a positive environment for both guests and staff. Overall, great service, great vibe, and a solid experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this location to others. read more

It was really letting me down.. the service.. that lady's head was there everywhere except where it should have been. She was totally somewhere else. Walking away in the middle of people ordering.. also not paying attention to what she was doing in about any aspect of waiting on a table. It was not good at all. I read a lot of stuff on here that talks about bad service. I concur with that. She wasn't mean or nasty. She was just a space cadet. I will be nice and give them a three-star

The service was great and the atmosphere was good. It was a delicious meal and we will be back for another meal.

This restaurant is overpriced for the overall experience. We ordered several items, including a…read moreshrimp bowl (we simply asked for the burrito without the tortilla). The waitress confirmed that the burrito normally comes with beans, but when the bowl arrived, it was just rice and shrimp with no beans. That inconsistency was frustrating, especially considering the prices. What bothered me even more happened when we paid the bill. As she handed us the payment tablet, I noticed she had already preselected an 18% tip. I really don't like when servers do that--it feels presumptuous and a little sleazy. We had ordered a margarita, and it honestly felt like an attempt to take advantage of the fact that we'd been drinking by nudging us toward a higher tip. To be clear, I don't blame the waitress for the missing beans, and I probably would have tipped 18% anyway. But between the overpriced food, the missing ingredients, and the preselected tip, the whole experience left such a sour taste in my mouth. I do not recommend.

They always get our orders right too and the service is super fast (esp if you make an online order). I love the quality of their subs!! I always order the Kali Mist sandwich and it's so good, you really can't go wrong. I don't usually go for raw jalapeños so that's the only topping I omit. My boyfriend loves their BLT and orders it a lot. I will say, they're pretty pricey sandwiches but you definitely get a bang for your buck. I usually order the large sandwich and can get approximately 2 meals out of it. Large sandwiches can cost upwards of $20. Overall, this spot is such a vibe and even has a little bar area which seems really fun. Also, they have excellent snacks and drink selection. I love this location and will always back!
