I had the bacon wrapped shrimp . It was exactly like a jalapeno popper . Cream cheese stuffed in a jalapeno , then stuffed in a shrimp , wrapped in bacon . Mmmmnomnom.

El Toritos sucks for big day occasions like Mother's Day. they don't know what "reservation " means. Do not go for a special day!!

Samuel Rodriguez

excellent Mexican food

@StayHeated

These motherfuckers are the slowest people in the world. By the time I finished my meal I was already hungry again. Had to have been there at least 2 hours and only got one refill on my water. Smh

Chad Lansford

Come for Taco Tuesday 's! Tacos for a buck each!

Arthur Mitchell

It's El Torito? The "pioneer in creating fresh, authentic Mexican" food? Who are they fooling? You get what do you expect lousy drinks and tasteless "gringo-ized" food.

If you want to come for brunch , be prepared for horrible service, crowds, and tripping over kids.

Steve Buchanan

Generic at best. Description of food is lacking.

Connie Goniea

We are not getting good service . The waiter kept ignoring us. I had to look for a manager to get served. The tip is going downhill.

Nicole Spencer

Service sucked, but food was very good.

Vincent Dunn
