Bad experience from the start. The lights in the booth are too bright, they give straws in their water, and I found the dish I got was almost inedible. Stay away from the spinach enchiladas at all costs. Apparently their sourcream and chicken enchilada was alright but not worth coming back for. Overall a very disappointing experience and I will never return. They get two stars because their service is good.

Contributes to America’s obesity problem one bite at a time ….you will not want to leave any food on your plate. Steak fajitas …yes! Chicken fajitas …yes! Sweet corn cake ….yes! Guacamole …..yes! The beans yes! The presentation is great. The salsa was a little spicy for my sensitive tongue. Manuel is an awesome waiter. He checked on us just the right amount of times and kept our drinks full.

This place is usually good during the week or weekend. But if you go to the Mexican buffet on Weekends don’t expect alot. The food is pretty good. They have pancita, green chicken pozole, pretty good i may add. They also have omelets, tacos and other food. But they are very disorganized during the buffet they often run out of plates, cups, food. And you end up waiting for up to 20 minutes just to get a plate to eat food. They also have unlimited mimosas on Sunday’s buffet.

Liked the food.
Highly recommend to try fresh tableside guacamole. The server makes guacamole in front of you and can be customized.
Tried one of their grilled chicken dishes for lunch,it was really good. Grilled chicken was juicy and it never felt dry. Portions were generous and mine was served with a side of rice, spinach and some other vegetables.
Overall food was really good and everyone in our group looked happy.

Ordered the beef enchilada. Very generous portions. Loved the guacamole and brown breans. The beef was cut into small cubes inside the enchilada. Love the taste of the beef. Did not like the salad with sour sauce on top of my enchilada though. Slightly too soury. Also has a bar but I did not get any alcohol. USD19 for 1 pax (including taxes and tips).

This is a great park!!! And although it has a sandbox, the rest of the park is not too sandy. I really like the play structures too.

Perfect for lunch because it’s never crowded and has really good food. It’s probably never crowded because it has the equivalent of 3 dining areas plus a large bar area.
The wait staff is nice and the service is good and timely. The food is good, but the prices seem a little on the high end. Keep in mind, though, that this is a sit down Mexican place, not your typical burrito and taco quick bite.

Stopped by one evening during a work trip to grab dinner and catch the Caps/Knights final blowout. The bartender was very kind and helpful. He changed one of the TVs so I could watch the hockey game and made sure I was well taken care of. Happy hour and regular menu item prices are pretty standard for the area. The food was delicious and the house margaritas were pretty good too. Would recommend this place to a friend.

Food – Good, well prepared.
Service – 50/50. Half the servers are really courteous, accommodating and polite(Manuel, Maria are the best). The other servers and staff leave A LOT to be desired.
Cleanliness – Bathrooms need scrubbed down, top to bottom. And the outside seriously needs garbage picked up, it is disgusting how much trash is in the landscaping around the front.
Safety – Not all the parking lights work.
Phone- Don’t even bother calling, they never answer the phone.
Also, sometimes they close the entire restaurant to a private party. Very inconvenient.
Update 10/28/17
Upgrading from 2 stars to 3 stars.
They have cleaned up the trash outside and taken care of the landscaping. They also have hired more staff, including some hostesses. The parking lot lights are now working as well. The service still needs improvements and the bathroom cleanliness still needs to be addressed.

This place has really gone down hill. We have been having a monthly happy hour there for the past 10 years. Every month the happy hour menu kept changing; the prices got higher and the discounts were less.
Just observe the empty bar and bar dining area. There’s nobody there. We gave it one more chance this past month and decided we will move our happy hour. I sent a comment to El Torito and they sent an apology and said they hoped we try again. But we won’t. The food is okay for those who don’t mind paying the price.
