Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Santa Ana

Very nice place !! Very well operated Price was very acceptable, service was great and manager stopped over to check on us after an appetizer we ordered was no longer available and comped us another ( appreciated but not necessary) Food came out quickly; all at once with multiple runners When we are back in Newport Beach , we’ll be back Great , fun spot !!

This is my favorite El Torito. We come for the Sunday brunch regularly. When I got the ad for the Christmas brunch, I knew we had to go. The food is always fresh and tasty. The service and people in this restaurant are amazing. Ernesto is my favorite server. Rico is great also. I will continue coming to this El Torito.

Food is always great, ambiance for the holiday was beautiful, the service impeccable and management as attentive as needed. A wonderful dining experience!

Food was great, and service was second to none. Surprised us with a dessert for our anniversary. From start to finish, a great experience.
