There were 2 servers in our little area. Alberto was ours. The servers would check and refill everyone as they walked by- it was AMAZING. Both so kind and friendly. El Torito Sunday brunch is such a delicious and great value!

My overall experience was pretty good. I will say the front desk needs to be more welcoming. They were not approachable and talking about their personal life in front of everyone and not being attentive to the guests. But my waiter, server, and chef were excellent.
