   Mandatory 20% tip is steep when you're getting your own buffet food. And same price for 13 year old minors and mimosa drinking adults doesn't make sense either. But good variety of food available.

   Quise una cena de fin de año y nos sacaron del restaurante antes de poder recibir el año, la mesera fue muy mala la verdad, la comida no fue rica y el restaurante sucio.

   Hola Ross, lamentamos mucho que usted y su familia hayan tenido tan mala experiecia en nuestro restaurante, sin embargo nuestro horario es de 11:00am a 10:00pm y desafortunadamente no podemos mantener a nuestros clientes mucho tiempo despues de cerrar por questiones legales por lo tanto fue imposible para nosotros permitirle recibir el ano en nuestras instalaciones. Le ofrecemos nuestras mas cinseras disculpas.

   Fuimos de noche y la ambientación estaba obscura. Supongo de día estará mas cómodo. Quedó por debajo de mis espectativas. La comida estaba regular.

   Went to grab lunch with a friend and our server Caleb was awesome. He recommended an El Dueño margarita and a fiesta platter which was very much worth the price. 10/10 experience, will be back soon.

   We made a reservation for 8 and requested a booth. When we arrived, our table was ready, I was happy to see we were able to get the booth! Andrew was an amazing server. He was very knowledgeable when it came to the menu (including the drink menu). He was very attentive and proactive in serving our table. He stayed on top of ensuring we had everything we needed, including water, beverage, chips, and salsa refills. Andrew was very personable and engaged when he visited the table. Andrew has a great sense of humor. Andrew is the best server I've had in a long time. He definitely deserves a raise or a promotion! I can only hope he will be my server the next time I come into town.

    This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant! We eat here frequently since the food is always fresh and delicious, there is no other ocean view like this in the South Bay. Service is impeccable. Not only do we personally love El Torito for over 40 years, but also anyone visiting us from out of town falls in love with this choice when we bring them here. Yesterday’s dinner was fantastic!
