Coming from NY I wanted to take advantage of the cheap vegan food here. It was amazing…read more I got the kid pizza, buffalo burger and spicy tuna. My boyfriend who's a vegan skeptic said that was the best spicy tuna he had ever had. I agree. The burger was a bit soggy so I wouldn't recommend it, but I was glad to satisfy my curiosity. I enjoyed the kid-size pizza. It was a lot with everything else I got tho. We also got the mango cheesecake and chocolate tortoise cake. I liked the chocolate cake better. I wouldn't recommend the cheesecake, but my boyfriend liked it. Also I ordered ginger lemonade and got a whole pitcher of it. I took the left overs to go. I was really happy with my experience. The place was neat and the staff was great too.

The service was great. They're very attentive. They're very sweet kept checking up on us. Anything we asked for they made it happen. They do start you off with complementary chips and salsa, which were pretty good. I got the coconut shrimp, which were humongous and very very tasty. We also got the breaded shrimp, which were also a lot and very tasty. Definitely recommend this place for some good fried seafood.

This place has definitely received a facelift since whoever uploaded pictures last. Between its…read morelarge, glass pane facade, modern nondescript logo, and sharply dressed waitstaff, El Torito comfortably assumes its role as an upscale casual, bar-informed mariscos restaurant. The service was really stellar, if not a little hands-on. I enjoyed downing some cold cheve with ceviche and overpaying for mezcal while listening to banda. Really a great vibe here. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in MTY. I will come with a bit-too-tight silk shirt, and order the grilled octopus. I got it all planned out.

To piggyback off my previous review where I described my experience jumping into a stranger's car to eat vegan food, I naturally became friends with the now-former-stranger and after dinner we met up with his friends for an authentic Monday (Yes, it was a Monday) night in Mexico! So where do locals go to party? Apparently here, at El Torito. Seafood restaurant by day, hoppin, poppin "club" by night. I use the term loosely because it's not a club, but it sure felt like one! After getting checked in by security (who raised both eyebrows as he probably doesn't see too many international id's here), I get swept into a crazy party. The restaurant tables still line the floor, but instead of sitting down and enjoying a meal, people are standing around them with a bucket (or 2) of Coronas on each one. Tv's wrap around all 4 walls and are showing music videos to the songs that are blaring from the speakers. People are dancing, taking shots, shouting, laughing, and cheering left and right-it really is an infectious environment. About halfway through the night, the tv's turn off and the music stops...for a full Mariachi band ensemble!! I'm talking at least a dozen Mariachi musicians storming the restaurant, with each one holding an instrument ranging from drums to trumpets to tubas. It was loud, it was obnoxious, it was crazy, and it was great! Everyone is dancing and singing and having such a great time. I'm so glad I got to experience this local gem. I obviously would never know of such a place on my own. And man, can Mexicans party! Note: If you're reading this and decide to go, just know that I'm not sure if the address/location is up to date here on yelp and I'm not entirely sure what nights this restaurant turns into a club.
