Cres was such a wonderful server! Very friendly and kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The food was so delicious!! My husband and I came up here for a couple days for my birthday. We will definitely come back here to eat again! The view of the bay is so beautiful too! We would give it more than 5 stars if we could. Definitely recommend El Torito in Monterey.

My parents and I ordered the family platter and the family fajitas. The platter was a nice big size. Unfortunately they ran out of carnitas but they asked what we would like double of and picked steak. The chicken was a bit dry but the steak and shrimp were amazing. Wish they gave some more shrimp and that the plates would be more sizzling hot like fajitas usually are in restaurants.

Had a great meal here, both the chicken and shrimp fajitas were absolutely delicious. We were seated and served really quickly, even without a reservation and with the place being really busy, which was a lovely surprise. The service was friendly throughout, and the cocktails were delicious too.
I was so keen to tuck into the fajitas that I completely forgot to get a photo, but trust me, they were good. A great spot for tasty food, quick service, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I’d happily come back.

El Torito has always been a family favorite for years!!
I am visiting from Utah and I requested we stop here for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. We didn’t wait very long(less than 5 mins).
My kids ordered the Bean and Cheese burrito and chicken tenders, both with apple sauce. They ate everything!!!
I ordered the Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas, they were delicious!!
My grandma ordered Sizzling Chicken Enchiladas and she said they were okay. She thought they were with red sauce but still liked them.
The only odd thing while eating was the lights kept flickering(not horrible but noticeable).
Our waitress Lucero was amazing and very attentive. She kept checking on us and made sure everything was to our liking.

I ordered the tacos Vampiros (steak) and the wife ordered Birria tacos and 2 steak tacos for our dog.
PROS: Vampiros steak tacos were decent, the
CONS: Mexican rice had no flavor and the beans were not good. The limes they gave for the tacos were old and when squeezed had no juice whatsoever. Wife ordered Birria tacos barely had any meat (almost like a taco bell taco with barely any meat) and they were so greasy. Flavor was just ok. The regular steak tacos were dry and barely had any seasoning. To be honest the best part of this meal was the free Chips and salsa.

I stopped in for a simple lunch with my kiddos on our way back to Sacramento and ended up being pleasantly surprised by the buffet style meal. They offered bottomless mimosas and an endless spread of foods. There was traditional Spanish food, soups, desserts, breakfast options, and so much more. We ate more here than we did on Thanksgiving, this has been the best restaurant experience we’ve had here in Monterey!

A lovely, clear day for a visit to one of the food places I really enjoy visiting on Cannery Row. We made reservations through Open Table and were seated within about 10 minutes of our reserved time. The window seat provided unobstructed views of Monterey Bay, boats, and birds.
Our server, Jorge, was attentive and bright chips & salsa promptly when taking our drink orders, and refilled them without prompting…a very professional touch.
The food arrived and was both hot and delicious. As a special treat on a special day for us we chose to share the Mexican Flan adorned with a scoop of ice cream. It too was delicious and perfectly sized for sharing.
Another job well done by the team. We’ll be back again

Incredible food, unbeatable views, and the best salsa I’ve ever had — seriously! El Torito in Monterey blew me away. The oceanfront setting is gorgeous, the service was warm and attentive, and everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful.
But let’s talk about that salsa — I ate seven bowls and could’ve easily kept going! It’s that perfect balance of spice, flavor, and freshness that keeps you dipping nonstop. Between the food, the friendly vibe, and the view, this place is a Monterey must. I’ll absolutely be back!

The flautas appetizer had no business being as delicious as they were! Oh my gosh every bite had us in denial that this was real. They came with a mango salsa that was fresh and had some sweetness to it. They were served with a sweet/sour sauce and red pepper dressing that complimented so well.
Fajitas were good. Veggies were cooked yet still had some crunch! Rice was pretty basic. But the beans….those were delicious!
Kids meals were decently priced. Kids bean burrito was huge!
They were a tad busy when we went, so getting drinks ordered/refilled, and time from ordering food to delivery were a little slow. But with how good everything tasted, it was worth the wait,n Overall great experience!
