    Brunch selection was good. Service was great. Only suggestion is they should offer pricing options without the bottomless mimosas and for kids. $37.50 is a little pricey considering it’s your traditional breakfast with simple Mexican entrees.

    Great service by our server Eddie. There’s no table in the bar area for happy hour we had to stay in the patio area.

    My friend and I come to El Torito and the service is usually very good. This time we were seated right away, but we had to wait quite a bit for the waiter to come take our order for drinks and for food. Normally, I get the shrimp fajita I did not have nearly as many vegetables in my shrimp fajita. I was very disappointed in that. The drinks were good. The service could use some improvement. Also, when the waiter brought the machine to take my payment, he had already pre-selected 20% gratuity.

    Server passed our table many times and wouldn’t stop at ours unless we asked him for stuff. Been there every weekend and hadn’t had a disappointing experience until yesterday.

    The floors were slippery and sticky! The tables were so sticky that we had to cover it with napkins to be able to stay and eat. The servers were ok with a few exceptions. The food was good but we were wondering about the kitchen’s hygiene the entire time… if they can’t even get their seating area clean! Very disappointing! We are not going back.
