Tacos with no meat
Carolyn G.

New tacos out the ribeye, good but I liked their spicy tacos before better. But the customer service Fabiola the bartender gave us ! She remembered us, she's kind and friendly. It's good place to have lunch during the week. Chill vibes and we enjoy siting at the bar. Ice cold beer served in a chilled glass!

3 ITEM COMBO (PICK ANY 3!)
Regina L.

El Torito Delivery- 3 Item combo was prepared perfectly and delivered hot and on time. I took advantage of the Buy one get one chips and salsa and I'm chipped for the week!!!!!!

Javier makes FRESH GUACAMOLE!! And hope my mom don't read this but this guacamole is better than moms and in the town!!

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

Haven't been here in years and still amazing to the Sunday brunch! Thank you to Rosa C. and Sofia, our waitresses! Thank you for being attentive and for taking care of our party of 16!!! They took care of us all the way through. And thank you Danny! Those crepes were bomb. I totally forgot it was bottomless mimosas, so worth it. Food was great as always and so much variety. Kids loved it too. We will be back

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.

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.

Mildia was the best she it didn't matter who it was even if it wasn't her table she showed love definitely should be a manager walking around asking if everyone is okay

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

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

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.

Guacamole was amazing!! Highly recommend!! Amazing service, everyone was really helpful and kind:)

Their "carne en su jugo" is legitimately delicious! I'm not usually a fan of carne asada but a friend ordered the carne asada plate and offered for me to sample from her plate and I was absolutely floored. This place does not skimp on quality. The cut of the meat was top quality. None of those awful cuts with lots of chewy nerves here. Pure tender deliciousness. Me and my wife LOVE teje shrimp burrito. Again, the ingredients are top quality and fresh. This is not a budget restaurant but it's not obscenely expensive. Expect to pay about $30-$50 per person here. This is one of the few restaurants that is worth every penny. On Sundays around brunch time, there is live mariachi, which is great if you're into that sort of thing. They also regularly have dance events, live music, and DJs. There are many reasons to visit. Check it out!

First of all, the decorations are amazing. The first thing that caught our eyes were the hanging lit up butterflies. They really make a statement. 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.

The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

They give you corn nuts and a spicy sauce on the house. We tried the yuca fries which came with a cheese sauce and it was tasty. The ceviche had a perfect lime tang to it. I've only ever had Mexican ceviche so this one was different but delicious. There was sweet potato, red onion, corn and corn nuts. For the entrees, we tried the pesto pasta with beef. The pesto was a bit heavy but the beef was SOLID. So tender and flavorful especially if you drizzle the spicy sauce they give you at the start of the meal. The other dish we tried was the lomo saltado - beef with rice and fries. Also a very good option if you prefer rice/fries over pasta.
