I live in Las Vegas but have been coming to this location for 10 years. This visit was the worst, there was hair all over the table even our server remarked about it and had to apologize. The windows were dirty the silverware had dried food particles on them, the glasses they served our drinks in were all dirty, it was a memorable experience, but for all the wrong reasons!

Cristina, our waitress did an excellent job checking on our table to see if we needed anything. There was a variety of food. All in all, we had a pleasant dining experience.

I always come here for Thanksgiving. The food quality is good and the view, ambience and staff are great. As a Pescatarian I am a little disappointed that each year the non meat selections get fewer. First the Shrimp fajitas disappeared and this year the seafood soup has gone. I understand that meat is a traditional Thanksgiving meal but offering fish tacos, seafood soup or even shrimp enchiladas would be welcome. I guess as a teetotal pescatarian i start to question the value for money but I always enjoy it and I guess will swap to the main menu if the seafood options are further reduced. This is by far the best El Torito location.

I used to love the fajitas at El Torito but I think they’ve gone downhill a little bit. The steak is not a very good cut and it looks almost boiled rather than cooked on the cast iron. But the location is nice. The service got off to a slow start, but then it was much better as we went along. The food is not as good as you used to be, but since it’s the only one around here that’s still standing I still go there when I want the El Torito experience. I love the Mexican Caesar salad, but I’m not sure if they still have it at this location.
