Service was great. We were directed to order their signature dish, the gorditas. I ordered the assorted plate. Wife ordered beans and cheese. Mine were extremely dry and had a long dark hair. The server was quick to apologize and offer a replacement. Which I accepted. The beans and cheese were really good. The other gorditas all seemed to have raw potatoes in them. I'd eat here again but would surely let the server know of my past experience. read more

Very kind workers and felt like in home service. The food was great and a good price. Authentic and would come again.

I'm normally skeptical of anyplace that says authentic Mexican cuisine but El Torreonense delivered and delivered big time. They specialize in Gorditas which I've never had before so I ordered the cactus, shredded beef and the barbacoa Gorditas. They came with fresh chopped onions, cilantro, salsa verde and salsa roja. Everything was fresh, bright and literally dripping with deliciousness. On top of the awesome food was the friendly and professional service I received from the hostess Maria. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend dining here or getting something to go. Author David Moon Books on Amazon Zomosapiens Scales of Justice Pickle's Pickle read more

El Torreonense - Menudo, gorditas, tacos - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Then why the 3/5 stars? This has been the 3 or 4th time I've come within their advertised hours to find the restaurant closed. It is extremely inconvenient to have driven 30+ minutes to check eat here just to find that for whatever reason it's closed. On the door the hours are advertised as 10 - 6pm. The restaurant "OPEN" sign is lit. Yet today is the 3 or 4th time I've come here to find it closed. Unfortunately, until they update their hours I won't come back, not really worth the inconvenience. That being said, if you happen to get here when it is open, the food is amazing and the service is 10/10. I'll edit my review to 5/5 once hours are updated read more

Food is just ok at best. Service is over bearing, she'll sit at your table and act as though she's part of the family. Just take my order please. Go next door, it's much better. read more

Barbacoa tacos so good that I inhaled them. I never knew they were there until I saw people rave about them on Facebook. It's a family owned restaurant and service was exceptional! read more

This has been by far, one of our favorite places to eat. My husband and I wanted to get something for an early dinner and it did NOT disappoint. Maria served us, and gave us a very detailed description of the menu. It helped us choose what we wanted to eat. She was so pleasant to us and this will be our go-to when it comes to eating out! Maria made us feel at home, well fed, and catered too. We absolutely love this place! read more
