" After years of searching for a genuine Mexican restaurant, I finally found El Torito Nuevo. The habanero salsa had just the right heat, and their carne asada tacos transported me straight to Mexico! I brought my family; we all shared a variety of dishes, and not one was disappointing. The staff was welcoming and attentive. A must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Mexican flavors in Orange. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about this restaurant from friends, I finally visited El Torito Nuevo last week. The food was outstanding, especially the enchiladas, which had the perfect balance of flavors. The ambiance is cheerful, thanks to the vibrant colors and decorations. The only downside was that the restaurant got a bit noisy during peak hours. Still, I can't complain about the food; it was definitely a five-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Torito Nuevo has quickly become my family’s favorite spot! The portions are generous, and the flavors consistently hit the mark. I particularly enjoy their burritos; they are filled to the brim with quality meats and veggies. While occasionally crowded, the staff manages well under pressure and offers a friendly demeanor throughout. Definitely recommend making a call ahead for big parties! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Torito Nuevo has truly mastered the essence of real Mexican comfort food! The burritos are divine and generously sized.

Though it can get a little crowded, the experience is worth it for good food and friendly service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t express how much I enjoyed my dining experience at El Torito Nuevo! The flavors were so rich, and the caldo de res was an exceptional comfort food. The ambiance could use some improvements with decor, but it reflects the traditional spirit nonetheless. The staff were attentive and polite, which was a significant plus. I intend to visit monthly!

" El Torito Nuevo is an absolute gem! The caldo de res was rich, flavorful, and just what I needed on a chilly day. While I wasn’t thrilled with the small portion of meat in my burrito, every bite was delicious. Plus, the service was absolutely delightful. I left with a smile! It might not be perfect, but the charm quickly makes up for it. I will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful evening at El Torito Nuevo! The highlight was definitely the shrimp cocktail, which was packed with flavor and freshness. My only complaint would be that the restaurant could improve upon its atmosphere; it lacks charm and has a convenience store vibe. However, the food certainly makes up for it. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
