   Noise level was beyond loud! Asked manager to ask them to lower their voices and he said he couldn’t do that!

   Great value. Easy parking for a nominal fee. Food and were good - not super busy but took a while to get our food - but chips and salsa bridged the gap. Unfortunately while this chain had places all over the place - this is one of the few left

   In the beginning it was a bit overwhelming the staff that were seating the customers seemed very overstimulated and unorganized but in the end it turned out nice our waiter Juan was a fantastic waiter very friendly.

   We had the Christmas buffet. My only complaint was that the food was sooo good and I couldn’t indulge in everything. Our server, Christina, keep the bottomless Mimosas on FULL!

   I live in Las Vegas but have been coming to this location for 10 years. This visit was the worst, there was hair all over the table even our server remarked about it and had to apologize. The windows were dirty the silverware had dried food particles on them, the glasses they served our drinks in were all dirty, it was a memorable experience, but for all the wrong reasons!

   Cristina, our waitress did an excellent job checking on our table to see if we needed anything. There was a variety of food. All in all, we had a pleasant dining experience.

    I always come here for Thanksgiving. The food quality is good and the view, ambience and staff are great. As a Pescatarian I am a little disappointed that each year the non meat selections get fewer. First the Shrimp fajitas disappeared and this year the seafood soup has gone. I understand that meat is a traditional Thanksgiving meal but offering fish tacos, seafood soup or even shrimp enchiladas would be welcome. I guess as a teetotal pescatarian i start to question the value for money but I always enjoy it and I guess will swap to the main menu if the seafood options are further reduced. This is by far the best El Torito location.
