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!!!

Wifey Ordered a Grilled Torta Sandwich.

Wifey & I decided to stop by our local Palmdale El Torito today (9/20/25) for a few drinks & a light meal. We were greeted at the Bar by a very pleasant & bubbly Bar Tender named ** IRIS **. ( : I ordered my usual Ala carte ' Vegetarian Enchiladas ', with a ** Green Tomatillo Chili ** Sauce. I was a bit surprised with the plating, as it was a bit different than usual. After tasting my meal, I asked the Mgr, ' IF ' they had a different Chef today..? The Enchiladas looked a bit different today & tasted * FABULOUS *. ( : The Mgr. Francisco responded that ' RANDY ' had prepared the Enchiladas. I told Francisco .. Corporate should take note & have ** CHEF RANDY ** provide them with his twist on this particular item. Wifey ordered a Grilled Torta Sandwich, which she enjoyed.. ( : Louie.M

The Morning Griddle!…read more If you're in Lancaster, do yourself a favor and stop by The Morning Griddle on Sierra Hwy. The food was absolutely superb everything came out quickly, fresh, and piping hot. What really stood out was the staff. Every single person we encountered was incredibly friendly and attentive. Not once did someone pass by our table without checking in to make sure we were doing okay, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and genuine. The biscuits and gravy are a must-try. My son usually doesn't like them at all, but he tried them here and absolutely loved them that says everything. Between the amazing food, the warm and attentive service, and the great music playing in the background, the whole experience was top-notch. Honestly, this place is better than Disneyland! If you're looking for great food and a friendly atmosphere, this is the spot.

This place is special because it feels like home when I come here. Everyone here is super kind, amazing and go above and beyond. The staff has gotten to know my family and I very well and we never are dissapointed. They offer the best meals and the prices are so reasonable. The menudo is the best thing here and I am not too crazy for menudo. The crepes are so flavorful. If you're not a Nutella fan even with the cream and fruit it is the best flavor. They have amazing options for each and every person. Defiantly come here if you want amazing food.

Palmdale was our first pit stop on our way home from Kernville…read more Located close to HWY 14 and good sized parking lot. Not a super huge dining area but not tiny either. Plenty of booths and some two tops that can accommodate parties more than 4 people. We walked in and were instantly greeted by Irma at the counter. As she pointed out available booths, she gave us the rundown on breakfast specials (that are also written on the grease board). Besides a hot cup o' Joe- I wanted some light bites. My typical breakfast plates would consist of Country Fried Steak/ Corned Beef Hash/ or Steak & Eggs. This time- when I heard Irma mention Beef Barley soup, I thought a cup would suffice. Along with that- sides of crispy bacon (I think 5 strips came in that order) & an English muffin. Which was toasted to perfection. Once I took my first spoonful of the Beef Barley soup- I knew I was gonna order an entire bowl. The strips of beef had some of the tasty gristle that truly makes the broth. Simple hearty soup. No shortage of barley and beef. I haven't had this soup in so long, it brought me back to childhood. I couldn't stop raving about it, (I'm a gal of simple pleasures) to other patrons. Hubby's breakfast combo came with a huge portion of hash browns. I told him to pack it up in a To Go container w/ the remaining bacon. And the hash browns were just as buttery & delicious when I re heated them in my skillet later the following day. Irma kept checking on us and would chit chat here and there. She truly is a gem of a person. This is now my new breakfast spot next time we're in the

I not enjoyed my visit, but the Service and the food was also a pleasure. Dennis is a family classic and the design and colors followed that same trend.

She gave me some wonderful recommendations which I agreed with and I was very happy that I did. Jazzmynne we Love you and the spelling of your name. Thank you for smiling the entire time you were serving us. You definitely need to try their onion rings or put together a sampler appetizer platter for yourself and the mac & cheese with the braised beef. . Not to mention how much cheating I was doing on my diet by having two milkshakes back to back. One was one with real blueberries in it with a little bit of what tasted like a jolly rancher crumble on top and the other one was a custom-made, mint and chip milkshake. Honorable mentions go out to Clara and Mica. I enjoyed watching them carry giant trays full of food. Manuel and I had a good time and he kept a good attitude while the POS system was spazzing out.

Helps when you step out and have nourishment that won't break the bank. Reminds me of Sundays. We used to out for breakfast then church. Then after the sermon, we'd all head out to Dennys.

Absolutely the best guest hospitality and food quality my family and I have ever experienced eating…read moreout. The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant is always lovely, fun, and lively. The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

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.
