This was our first time visiting El Torito. Do not let the name of the restaurant detour you from Poppin in. I thought, Hispanic name, but country cookin? Say what? I had the grilled chicken sandwich with carrots instead of fries. The carrots were cooked very well. Not too soft, not top firm. Personally, I feel they were just right. They are cooked without spice. I added a bit of pepper and a pinch of salt. The chicken sandwich was legit amazing. It was simple. A thin slice of chicken breast; which is what I prefer in comparison to a thick slice. The chicken was juicy, and flavored well in my opinion. The tomato was ripe, and the lettuce was crisp. The BF had the country breakfast plate. He rates the overall breakfast at an 8 1/2 out of ten. He prefers crispy hash browns and crisp bacon. I’m sure if you ask for crispy they we will make it that way. The flavor was on point. He said the pancakes were ok. Nothing fancy. Again he prefers crispy foods. He would have liked for them to be a little more crispy on the edges. We will most definitely come back to try out more food.

This place is a gem in the making . Food was amazing . First time here, came in for a late lunch and was able to get breakfast cause it’s served all day. The owner is getting used to business picking up due to growing community support. He is a very nice man that loves to cook amazing food! With that said the service is a little slow, one waitress, she seemed kinda frazzled. Some items they were out of so some menu options were not available. I assume once they accommodate for the growing customers they will be better prepared. I will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a late lunch. The food was good, environment comforting, and owner was friendly and helpful. I love a daily special
Sometimes you find food that’s exactly what you expect in an environment that’s exactly what you remember. That’s El Torito. Good food, good price, and good people.
FYI Keep an eye out for this sign.
They have a service fee on debit cards. But that’s pretty normal at non-chains.

The reason why i am giving this a one star is because when i said if it okay i can use the bathroom they said only customers that are buying like have some common sense and let a kids use your bathroom

Called in order of 2 piece fried fish, mac and cheese, green beans and cole slaw. I inquired if Cole slaw was good and lady confirmed. Informed her that I’d try it upon arrival and if i didn’t like it I would switch sides. No one dining in at lunch hour was strange. Order ready in 10 mins. Tasted coleslaw, good taste but too watery or too much sauce, and cabbage wasn’t crunchy. I switched to mashed potatoes with cream gravy. Fried fish was hot, crispy and seasoned though it could’ve used some hot sauce, Slap Ya Mama, Lawrys or Tony’s. Quality cheese sauce wasn’t used for Mac. Green beans and potatoes were good. And with 2 cornbread muffins, one stale and one fresh. Another container of tartar sauce needed. $13.75. I’d return and try something else.

My husband and I arrived too this small restaurant in the morning for breakfast. Let me say it’s been one of the best most tasteful breakfast I have had that is locally made from the man I believe owns the place he cooked and took our orders himself.
My husband had the 3 meat hamlets with hashbrown that he asked too add cheese and onion on it and toast. I had the super slam breakfast. Which is country chicken fried steak with gravey, hashbrown with cheese added and a biscuit that he makes also with butter .
We both agree that we would come back again highly recommend this spot. Spanish and English speaking.

I recently looked up the word comfort food in the dictionary and saw (El Torito Country Cooking) as the definition, it was late in the afternoon and my tummy was sending me signals to send down some food, so I began looking to see what was near me, I was tired of the same ol’ stuff that’s around my neighborhood, fast foods, Mexican food, burgers, I was craving something good, comforting, different, as I was looking through the list of places near me I came across this quaint, welcoming, cozy place, as I walked in I was greeted by the owner, polite, nice and friendly as the Texas state motto, believing it was Wednesday my mouth was already watering for roast beef, one of their daily specials, I was reminded that it was Thursday so I began to look at the day’s specials and came across the turkey and dressing dinner, something I’ve been craving for some time since I missed last years Thanksgiving dinner because of work, it wasn’t long before he came out with my meal, hot, fresh, and the savory aromas rising out of the bag, I went and parked under a tree to enjoy my meal, as I opened the container I got a whiff as if I was standing in my grandma’s kitchen as a kid during the holidays, the turkey was moist and savory as the stuffing was something out of this world, accompanied by 3 sides of your choice and some of the best cornbread coming out of Texas that could rival any cornbread from any southern state, they offer many down to earth home cookin dishes, including, roast beef, country fried steak and gravy, a meatloaf that Bobby Flay would envy, and many other dishes to choose from, they open at 8 am till 9 pm and also offer country style breakfast including freshly made biscuits and gravy, cornbread, eggs cooked any way you like or an omelet that makes IHOP look bad, when I saw they also serve grits I knew I had to come for breakfast, now that I’ve had my dinner it’s time for a nap cause that’s what comfort food does to a person especially when it’s this good, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different yet old fashion cooking, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, cash or card accepted,
