   I chose El Torito Grill for Easter brunch. There were a lot of food choices… most of the items were marked, but they did not explain what they contained. I eat chicken and fish, but things were marked as potatoes, but when I asked a worker, I was notified that it actually contain chorizo. It would be nice if there was a way to know what type of meat was in the item. Also, I noticed most things were beef and pork, and only a couple things with chicken. All of the fish items contained shrimp, which I am allergic to.  the restaurant was very loud but that’s a given for a holiday Sunday! I thought maybe they would have mariachis but there were none during our 12–1 30 window.  Our server was very quick to refill mimosas.  the taco bar was great and the homemade tortillas were good but wish they would’ve been corn and not flour! All in all it was decent for the price…you can’t complain!

   Happy Hour is excellent. Rafael our server is so good. We always enjoy seeing him & being served by him. The taco trio & Al pastor tacos were very good. And the fresh made flour tortillas are great. We love it all.

   I made a reservation and still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated, parking is horrible, bathroom was dirty and 1 stall was broken, very loud and crowded for brunch. The food was good but the service was slow with our drinks and we never got chips and salsa. Overall I would probably not return for $40 pp.

    We had Taco Tuesday and had a great time. The food is terrific and a good value. We did Happy Hour and Rafael was our server, who is the nicest guy. This is a great place for all their food, especially Taco Tuesday.
