   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!

   The food is really not worth the price they’re charging people. Turkey and Ham were dry. The stuffing is sooo salty! The mac n cheese is cold and cheap, most of the food are cold and the mashed potatoes are only good with the gravy. El Torito could’ve done better! Very disappointing and will not be back!

   Overall … kinda disappointing. The food selection seems to get less and less with each year. For $41.99 a person theirs no value. It was almost impossible to get any fresh items. With the exception of the stuffing which we did get fresh which was good. Even though we did several laps trying to get other items as they were replenished but were unsuccessful. Maybe staffing was an issue, I’m not sure.

    The food was absolutely delicious and we had very good service. I highly recommend coming here for dinner, a special occasion or even for a holiday. The buffet was nicely organized, lots of freshly prepared food and such a great variety.
