" El Torito surprised me! I tried their carne asada and it was excellent—tender and juicy. The atmosphere made it feel unique, and the service was quick and very friendly. For the portions and price, it is hard to complain about what I received. Would come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Torito is a go-to for great Mexican food! The burritos are huge and filled to the brim with flavorful ingredients. The salsa is on point and pairs perfectly with their chips. We were very pleased with our service—not too intrusive but always nearby when we needed something. Looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent visit to El Torito was not very satisfying. Although the chips and salsa were great, my cheese enchiladas were pretty average—definitely not the best I’ve had. The ambiance was pleasant, with friendly staff, but the service lagged a bit. We waited too long for refills on our drinks. I’m unsure if I would recommend it based on this experience, as I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try El Torito, but it ended up disappointing me. The food was just alright—the chicken was overcooked and dry. The service was slow, and we waited far too long for our drinks. I wanted to love this place, but it did not meet my expectations at all. I doubt I will return. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I visited El Torito hoping for an authentic Mexican dining experience. Unfortunately, I was let down by both the food and service. My meal lacked flavor, and my server missed multiple requests during our visit. I walked away feeling like it wasn’t worth the money, and I’m hesitant to recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" A mediocre dining experience at El Torito. The food was lackluster, and while the staff was pleasant, they were not very attentive. It took longer than expected to receive our meals, and I found myself reluctant to ask for anything during our visit. I hope they can improve because it has the potential to be a nice spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Mexican food, you’ll appreciate El Torito. The steak tacos were delicious, bursting with flavor, and the portions were generous! The atmosphere felt very much like a traditional cantina, which I really enjoyed. The service was good—not too fast, not too slow. I would definitely come back to try some of their other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
