I came here on a Wednesday to celebrate my son’s graduation. I had the honor of being served by Mr. Tomas. He was very kind, polite, and made my visit a pleasant one. When I return I hope to have him again. Excellent customer service, even taught me and my son Spanish .

Luis Jimenez is an awesome employee. He was very attentive and kind during my visit. The best customer service I have had. I'll be returning back because of him and the food.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. The food was awesome, and the service was good. The temp in the restaurant was cold, but they sat us right next to the open fireplace, which wormed us up.

Wonderful experience. We had Ernesto as a server. He was nothing but attentive, welcoming, and friendly. All the staff was great but he really went out of his way to provide top quality service. I highly recommend this location and coming for Brunch. Ernesto really made our friends birthday and mother's day brunch much more special. My friends and I will absolutely be returning just because of the service alone.

We had such a great time at El Torito for their Sunday brunch buffet. The spread was amazing with everything from made-to-order omelets to tacos, fresh fruit, and all the classic favorites. And of course, the bottomless mimosas were the perfect touch! Huge shout-out to our server Rito. He was absolutely amazing, super friendly, on top of everything, and kept our glasses full without us even having to ask. He really made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun and delicious Sunday outing. We’ll definitely be back!

Mother’s Day brunch my little family of 5 along with my mom went to have brunch at this location it was our first time coming here, let’s start off with our waiter Gino he was amazing he constantly checked on us if we needed anything else other than refills on our drinks. He did everything so fast, great customer service. The food was good but I want to say the customer service was one of the best I have ever had. Thank you Gino
