Don't Bother Please, don't go here. It's a complete waste of money given all the other great choices that are available in the area. The food just isn't that great and it doesn't taste or look fresh. I ordered a platter that included a cheese enchilada and a veggie hard taco. I ask if instead of meat if they could substitute beans into the taco. I get my plate and my taco has meat in it. It takes a while to get the waiter's attention to take the plate away. A few minutes later he returns but I personally don't think they rep... read more

good food and service The service is really great and so is the food. I love to go there because it has a great view, good service and great food. I ordered a fajita plate with steak, chicken, shrimp and it was great. I denfinately recommend it.

Gross – BEWARE VEGETARIANS......the rice is made with chicken broth, however, the refried beans are not made with lard. BEWARE, they have FLIES......the dining area was swarming with them and it was unsettling to think they might have gotten to my dinner before I did. The manager blamed their presence on the constant crowd on Easter Sunday. Guess they live there now as he didn't seem too concerned.

Nasty service – Yesterday, I went with my family. The food was great, but the service was horrible. He didn't give my daughter an ice cream as is promised with meal, and he included his tip ($12for lousy service!)

Won't be back – I won't waste much time on this one. A somewhat limited menu, average food and absolutely the worst service I have ever had. Left with the knowledge that I would never be back.

No Wait! – El Torito is a pretty good Mexican restaurant. The nice thing about their menu is that they now showcase different regions of Mexico every month. So you can now try other Mecian food besides tacos and burritos (although they make a few good burritos). The best aspects of this El Torito are that I have never had to wait for a table and they have a great view of the bay.
