    We always enjoy our dinners at El Torito. They were having a special for chicken fajitas for 10.99 (normally around 20). Very good value and excellent service.

    Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by hostess and immediately seated. Server promptly greeted us and we were able to get our beverages and start our trips to the buffet. Wonderful selection and churro pancakes suggested by the server completed our experience.

    We have been doing Thanksgiving here for a long time. This time I was very disappointed in the food.😔 Some of it was cold, and the mexican meats(Carnitas, birria, and Al pastors were very dry and hard. We went at 2 and I don't know if I'll have a holiday dinner there again. The selection seemed like it was also smaller. From now on, I will just stick to the Sunday brunch.
