Went for a Family gathering and my Sisters Birthday. Was greeted by 3 charming young ladies. They were very helpful and even laughed at my attempt at humor. Once seated Caesar our server took over. He was fantastic. He was everywhere and so courteous. The food was delicious and hot. I thought my sister was going to take the coffee pot. She liked the coffee that much. Our overall experience was definitely a "10"+
Warmly greeted and Sergio P was my server.
Excellent service!
The failed queso fundido lost this establishment one star. It was horribly congealed before it arrived at my table. It was one of the reasons I selected this restaurant - the queso - don’t make my mistake and skip it! (Sad face.)
The fajita burrito was large and delicious. Love the Seaglass Sauvignon Blanc brand.
The restaurant itself was quiet despite being full, nice decor and clean.
One of the few restaurants with great staff. Food quality and quantity both are good. Food was fresh and meets expectations. A weekend evening was not too busy. Free parking available on the premises. Atmosphere is lively and calm. Can definitely recommend the place.

Stilly favorite restaurant and tequila spot. Those tortillas though, so good!! Want a real treat, try the El Neuno Margarita (one per person limit).
I had the chicken fajitas and an extra shot of Mezcal.
Kathy was an incredible, sweet and amazing server. We appreciate her service and we will definitely be back!
Once more I am back to this spot and by far another excellent experience. Server Adriana went above and beyond to provide the upmost service experience and I appreciate everything she did for us.
The restaurant has been here for over 3 decades, and the last time I was here was 2010. Glad that they survived thru COVID.
It's cinco de mayo day, and they have a mariachi band at the entrance. Food is good, and the Cadillac tastes so delicious.
We had Sunday brunch to celebrate a family member’s college graduation. A perfect place for the occasion! Variety of good food to choose, including made to order omelettes. and we all enjoyed it. The service was very good for a large group! We enjoyed sparkling wine and mimosas, as well as other non alcoholic drinks.
Great place! Came here for the Thanksgiving buffet and it did not disappoint! Great variety and delicious food! Our waitress Adriana was so sweet and wonderful! She provided great service and made sure our drinks never went empty. Totally gotta come back!
My wife, father in law and I came here for a family lunch. We were a little concerned when we saw the steps at the entrance or long way around the building, as my father in law uses a walker. But, our concerns were quickly dissuaded! As soon as the staff saw us they opened a side door and ushered us in! Everyone was so accommodating and so helpful! The food was amazing, I usually don’t go for the beans and rice right away but I finished those before touching the main course!
Chris was exceptional. He excelled in attentiveness, knowledge, and guidance. His proactive approach in ensuring my family’s needs were met, refilling drinks and chips, coupled with his expertise in menu offerings, made the dining experience enjoyable and smooth. Chris's attentiveness and helpfulness truly enhanced my visit.
Always love the food and the service is always fantastic, even when they are busy. Tonight was the first time we sat at the bar, waiting for our table, and ended up eating there too! Always LOVE the fresh, homemade tortillas😋
I’ve always been a fan of El Torito Grill. We used to eat at the Beverly Hills and Irvine locations a lot back in the day. I’m really glad this location is still around because the food is amazing and service is on point. The tortillas and sweet butter are still as good as I remember! Definitely will be back again soon.
Really enjoyed! Try the strawberry shortcake, promise you won’t regret it :)
I visited this location for the first time with a friend and had a great experience. Our server was Donaji, and she recommended the pineapple Jamaica margarita and the blackberry Cadillac to us, and they were both delicious. She was very kind and helpful and always asked if we were doing okay. The food and environment were great. Definitely will be coming back
Haven't been to El Torito Grill in awhile since all are closed in San Diego. Went there for Sunday brunch. Excellent food and such a variety. My mom and wife totally enjoyed the pozole. I enjoyed the menudo, BBQ ribs, tacos... really everything.
Nice spot for a group work luncheon. Shrimp enchiladas were delicious. The ribeye fajitas was good but those that ordered the skirt steak said theirs was really good. Staff is friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I recommended this place for a group setting.
