Enjoyed their happy hour. The drinks are amazing.

I really liked the happy hour. They offer many drink options and food. Gerardo jr the bartender makes amazing drinks. They play music. Will come back to El Torito!

Lovvveee Sunday brunch! It's 9am-2pm! They serve you churro pancakes for the whole table and the selection is so yummy!! Also, just by chance I've had Mayra the 3 times I've came here! And each time she's been so amazing! Also I love that the pours are... chefs kiss!!! She's so attentive and refills like your best friend! The mimosas are amazing and unlimited! Tacos and omelets made to order ... and Mayra of course! You can't go wrong here !

I thought the staff was rude. We had one o clock reservations. My daughter entered as we parked. They check her in under my name. She went to go get her food and met us at the table. A. different waitress came snd told my daughter she could not have the table. Mind you she had a full plate on the table and was sitting down. She asked us to go back and wait in line. I told my daughter to leave her food. I got four notices to confirm. That was annoying. Three of us had brunch. $150 bill. Never again..,

Mimosas

This was the best Sunday brunch great waitress Mayra is so awesome. best service ever! take your girls it's so good!!!

The family and I were in the mood to try a new place, and we were hoping to not have a 45 minute…read morewait (sorry other place... a special-needs Son, who's hungry, is NO place you want to be after even a 20-minute wait... no matter how good the seafood cocktails are). That being said, Super-Wifey spotted this small but nice place on Yelp, and it was literally across the street! And with good reviews! Hit 'D' for Drive, Dad. And, there was no wait! Their menu is not too terribly extensive at first glance, as compared to some places, but that's not a bad thing as they have most of the go-to dishes covered after reading through. I usually get a carne asada burrito in a new place, or carnitas tacos. You know, the required staples. If a place can do those well then you're in good hands. The Mexican food litmus test. Well, everything we tried had loads of flavor... fresh tasting, not too salty, just spot-on. The offspring had the chicken nachos and also the quesadilla with shredded chicken. They looked great-on-the-plate which is always a good sign, right..? Wifey had the taco combo plate, and these were main-dish taco's, not the smaller street taco's (which I think they have also), and she was all thumbs up. I had a carne asada burrito mojado (wet) with 1/2 red, 1/2 green sauce, which tasted great... lots of flavor, a bit of spice on the red sauce (not too caliente, thanks) and the green sauce was very good, with lots of fresh tomatillo flavor. And I had a half pineapple/half tamarindo combo drink that was so fruity. First time on that flavor mix. And I'm guessing here, but I think they are a family business, and a very nice family indeed. The best places often are, it seems. They do take-out orders as well, and we're going to be ringing them up the next time a Mexican food craving hits us. There are a LOT of great Central and South American places in our local area to choose from; Mexican, Salvadoran, grilled Pollo (and NOT the crazy chicken place, thank you...) and Seafood specialists, take your choice. But these Folks hit the Comfort Food button spot-on. Next time I'll try the carnitas and will report back. Great Job..! See you soon..!

This is my 2nd time here, the hospitality is great. The owner is super sweet and attentive. But the…read moremain thing, is the food! It taste so authentic and fresh. It's nice to find a place that can be consistent! I had chilaquiles today, with carne asada. I tried it with half red and half green, both sauces were delish! And my steak was so juicy and flavorful. Oh, and the cafe de olla was the cherry on top

It is all made to perfection and there is not one thing we don't love. For about $32 dollars you can get Havana Bites, it is a taste of some of their great items. It comes with Beef & Chicken Empanadas, Papas Rellenas, Platanos Fritos and Yuca Frita all served with Rico Sauce, which is so great. All of their empanadas are great and you can get just one or a bunch. We often get some to take home. The Papas Rellenas is so good and so nicely priced. It is two mashed potato balls stuffed with Cuban picadillo, then breaded and fried to perfection. I love potatoes so I love to get this. We also take these home. They heat up so well. The service is great and they are very friendly. Parking is easy and there is not usually a wait. I am not sure if they take reservations, so call them and check. The place is comfortable and pretty.

First time here as part of a car club run in the area. Cuban cuisine is a top choice on my list of…read moredining experiences. I ordered the Mar Y Tierra which is Rabo Encendido and shrimp served with rice, black beans, and plantains. The Rabo Encendido was actually quite spicy with a pronounced chile kick. (I am used to the dish being more on the savory side rather than spicy.) This was definitely a "tail on fire" experience. The oxtails were tender and plentiful in regard to portion size. There was a good mix of oxtail sizes. As the portion size was generous, there was plenty enough for three meals. Shrimp had a crisp, snappy texture which came with careful preparation in an alkaline solution. This was a good shrimp enhancement. There was an ample portion of shrimp in the dish as well. The black beans had a good flavor but the accompanying steamed white rice could have used a bit of seasoning to overcome the inherent blandness. Plantains were ripe and cooked tender with a caramelization on the edges. Mar Y Tierra was pricey at $49 but the generous portion size of the meal made it a good value. The restaurant itself was comfortable and understated in its decor. The outside patio is larger than the interior dining area. It was nice to dine outdoors in the patio. Service was good with friendly staff. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Parking is plentiful in the lot.

Sammy's Restaurant is one of those rare places that gets Mexican comfort food exactly right. The…read morecarne asada is tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the wet burritos are rich, satisfying, and smothered in a sauce that brings everything together without overpowering the dish. The chicken burritos are juicy and well-marinated never dry and the vegetarian tostadas are crisp, fresh, and thoughtfully made, proving that every item on the menu gets real attention. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This is reliable, feel-good Mexican food done with care. A true local favorite that keeps you coming back.

The food was decent, but the service was so bad that for the first time ever I had to write "never…read moreagain" on my receipt. What happened was I go up to order my food, I very clearly say 2 tacos, a burrito, a drink, and can you add on a side of guacamole to that? Pretty simple order. It comes out to $25... so, I'm already probably never going back based on that ridiculous pricing. I get my food, and there's no guacamole on the tray. So, I ask "can I get the guacamole I ordered?" And the girl behind the counter says, in a snarky tone, "you didn't order no guacamole, get out of here!" If you didn't hear me or there was some mix up, that's fine. But don't dismiss me! Treat me like a valued customer and be like "I'm sorry sir, I never got that. Can I get you some guacamole?". I would've been happy to pay the lousy $2 that it costs and all would've been right in the world. If the whole thing that I ordered costs $25, it better come with some dang guacamole and about 5 different kinds of salsa! I calmly went back to my table, eat, and add up the prices of everything I ordered. And lo and behold, I'm off $2 every time and I wanted to make my feelings known... 5 minutes later, I'm being chased out to my truck and the girl is hammering on the window like I just stole from her!! She should've been apologizing, not trying to destroy my vehicle!!
