Rate and Write a Review The large bar serves up refreshing peach and strawberry margaritas and they have one of the largest selections of tequila around. The crowd varies, but it's mostly businessmen, families and anyone who enjoys a good happy hour. Southwestern is the decor motif and there is a large private room in the back for parties or large groups. The tortillas are made on the premises, literally in front of your eyes, and come with a sweet tasting butter. Tamales, tacos and enchiladas come with rice, beans and El Torito's famed sweet corn cake. Sundays offer a champagne brunch where the tour includes fajitas, Chipotle eggs benedict, a kid's station and heavenly chocolate flan. -- Victoria Namkung

This restaurant used to get slammed on the weekends and it was obvious that they did need new help but lately everytime I've been there I've had no trouble with the service. I do however, see the people getting angry at the workers for things they have no control over like the wait over the tables or when the waiter has to do some guacamole (it's made tableside along with other items on the menu which do take up time and some people think that time preparing something for another table means that the server is ignoring them).
This place could be so much better if a. they had more help on hand, b. they had some more talent in the kitchen. It's too bad.
