Amazing service from victor and the manger. Will come back. Food was excellent! Fast service! Margarita delicious and best part.

Been coming to El Torito for years. Mainly for the atmosphere (happy hour) and great service. The food is average in my opinion and some plates are a bit expensive. I wish portions were bigger, for example the meats in the fajita. Lots of onion and bell peppers, but not enough meat/chicken. But the service has always been excellent! Edgar is one of my favorite waiters. He is so polite and attentive. I'll definitely be back soon! :) read more

I've never ordered the margarita pitcher but it is so worth the price! Especially if you're planning on drinking a few. We were a group of 7 and we were seated in their outdoor patio. There was a dj playing great music both English and Spanish jams. I believe the dj is only there on Tuesday's (might be wrong). Our server Victor Perez was outstanding. He was extremely attentive and has great humor. our food was delicious and we had a really great experience :) read more

I want to thank Victor Perez for great customer service ! Our food was brought out right away and freshly cooked.

We went for the Mexican Independence Day (September 16,2020). It was so much fun. We were seated right away. Our server Victor Perez was AWESOME! He was not only in a great mood but he was courteous and made sure we were taken care of. He got our appetizer out quickly and anything we needed he took care of it quick. Please ask for him! He's the best. Also they have a DJ on Tuesdays and the jams were great. Totally recommend them but please ask for victor Perez. He definitely will take care of you! read more

I have eaten here before . Usually the lunch specials during the week . Usually pretty good ! Went this past Thursday after a movie lunch special quits at 2:00 it was 2:30 Ordered a chicken taco salad was $17.00 dollars and they offer no half orders! It was terrible little or no chicken to much lettuce and everything on it was just mashed together no flavor at all . The waiter was not attentive at all too busy socializing ! We ...had to ask several times for napkins sugar no salt or pepper at table . No refills were offered water ice tea coke ........ so I won't be visiting this place for lunch anytime in the near future. read more

Bertha was very attentive and provided us with wonderful service. As for the food, it's more lunch than breakfast on the meal spectrum, I love their churros and carnitas tacos. read more

Came here for a night out "FINALLY" and I'm happy to say I enjoyed my evening very much. Our server was Vicente and he was friendly, attentive and we enjoyed him very much! The food was decent but I'm giving 5 stars for the excellent service. Next time we go we will definitely be asking for him again. read more

Victor P was the best! In spite of serving several tables on the patio, he never neglected us.

The food was excellent! Definitely will come back! Victor Perez was out server at el Torito and he is what made our experience amazing. Super funny and very kind man! read more

Hosted a combined birthday/retirement party. We couldn't have asked for better service! We initially booked the Fiesta Room since it had been cold and rainy during the first part of the week. We asked to change to the patio when we got there as the weather turned out great. The manager and servers were very accommodating and quickly switched our set up for a group of about 30 outside. They set up a cake/dessert table and provided a couple of things we forgot to bring- pot for a plant for decoration and a basket for the birthday cards. Servers were excellent and attentive throughout the lunch. Food was good, and the salad and corn cake were amazing. Very much appreciated the service. We had a great time. read more

Me, my wife and some friends chose to go to experience El Torito's Sunday brunch, and let me tell you; it did NOT disappoint! Our waiter was Victor Perez and he was one of the most entertaining and attentive waiters I've had. Amidst all the hustle and bustle he still found the time to joke with us and keep our glasses full the entire time. I would love to come back and sit in his section. A+ service for sure! read more

NAEL was AMAZING! He's new and very welcoming! I was celebrating at the restaurant and is attitude and energy was so welcoming and gracious!

Came for Sunday brunch with the family. Food is way to over priced!!!! Not worth it, food has no taste. Service is slow and the girls at the grunt are rude. Not at all how it once was. read more

Great place, excellent customer service, our waiter Lorenzo made us feel like a family there, the food is high quality, totally recommended

Welcoming Vibe, delicious food and drinks. Definitely recommend ordering the Spicy Mango Mojito and Blueberry Mojito! Vicente was an awesome server and was on top of it ! thank you so much !! read more

I'm in the area visiting family and they suggested this place. I ordered the Baja plate. It comes with a fish taco, 2 bacon wrapped shrimp, shrimp enchalada, rice and a heap of sweet corn mush. Everything was tasty but what stood out was the sweet corn mush and bacon wrapped shrimp. I also ordered the gucamole that's prepared table side. It was fresh and paired well with the chips and salsa. I also ordered 2 margaritas ( the classic and the pomegranate both on the rocks with salt) and they were good as well. I got them on happy hour ( 3-close on weekdays). Overall, I enjoyed my experience and may consider returning before I leave to enjoy happy hour one more time. read more

Service was the worst I've ever received. Do not plan to dine here again. Ee were a party of 13 and we were never asked if we wanted to dine outdoors yet they seated us right in front of their front doors. They were out of almost 1/2 of their brunch menu items yet we paid the same price as EVERYONE else. We made reservations at 12:30 only to be seated at 12:59. They ram out of orange juice while on our 1st round of mimosas, they substituted with Jamaica juice. To which was not a mimosa. Very unpleasant service all around. read more

First time here and Victor Perez was our waiter. Hands down great service and we can't wait to come back!!

I really wanted to like this place. The ambiance is nice as is the service. But I've eaten here three times now and each time it's been the same: the food is unnecessarily salty and the flavors are lost under the salt! The chicken taco I ordered today (delivery) was more like a Mediterranean salad with a bit of chicken on a rubbery tortilla, and the cheese enchilada: "meh." The carne asada was certainly the highlight, but the flavors that came with the meal didn't really complement each other. Maybe I've just had 3 bad experiences. There are other places that I prefer (like Rodrigos read more

Great service thanks to our waiter, Victor Perez! Very attentive and friendly. Spicy Mango Maragarita is the go-to for happy hour. Check it out! read more

Today, my husband and I came to have Sunday brunch at our favorite El Torito restaurant. We always receive great service when we're here, but today we received exceptional service with our server, Emiliano. My husband was disappointed that one of his favorite brunch items was removed from the Sunday menu and Emiliano went ahead and had the cooks prepare that food selection. He also came by promptly and was constantly refilling our mimosas and ensuring we had enough napkins. He was very busy but made us feel as though we were the only customers he was helping. We appreciate his excellent customer service and can't wait to come back! read more

Victor Perez- amazing server and friendly. He was on top as a service and great person with good attitude. Food is delicious.

This is the second time we have been here since they opened for dine in. The buffet was $31 per person. It simply was not worth it. The quality of the food today was much lower than the first time. There was no mimosas offered even though the ad said there would be. I don't think we will be back. read more

Do NOT go to El Torito on Cinco De Mayo. The band was so loud my heart was racing. Kids were miserable. I could not heat my server. It was over the top loud. And plastic cups. Yuck. Worst Cinco De Mayo ever. And they raised prices for the holiday. $8 for 1 beer in a plastic cup. Wow! read more

My husband and I just came back from a fantastic dinner in El Torito. From step in 'till end it was outstanding service.

Thank you! Also thanks for hostess and manager on duty. All of you guys represent our Plaza and town of Riverside for residents and guests. read more
