    The service was absolutely terrible. On one of the table settings there was a fork on there that have been used already. The waiter didn't even take it away. He just left it on the table and brought a new set about 15 minutes later. I was very very disappointed and I'm usually not hard to please at all but this was bad. I had asked for sweetener for my tea and I had to ask about three different people and finally got it about 45 minutes later. I will not be going back to this restaurant. I should have just stuck to the El Torito in Cypress.

    Terrible experience. They refused to accept a Christmas discount of $11 per person fajitas sent to me by El Torito the prior day and not expired, even though the link to find a local restauarant led me to them and I made the reservation through opentable. They said it was not good at their El Torito Grill, regardless of my explanation. I had to order two at more than double to coupon price which were small portions and had lttle flavor. To add insult to injury tey added an automatic 5% surcharge to my bill stating it was for all extra costs they were incurring. Is that even legal? Horrible experience and I will never go there again.

    El Torito Grill, not to be confused with El Torito, is always a great experience. It has become our go to, for family and friends get togethers. The food is great, and the hand made flour tortillas are delicious. The staff is always welcoming, friendly and professional.
