" El Torito is a hit or miss based on my past visits. Recently, the service felt rushed, and our orders got mixed up. The food, although large in portions, was bland and did not reflect true Mexican cuisine. However, the view of the ocean never disappoints and makes it a nice place to grab a quick meal. Hoping for improvements next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family went here after hearing so much about the place, and we weren't disappointed! Each of us tried different dishes, and everyone loved their meal. I enjoyed the carne asada, which was juicy and flavorful. Service was friendly, and our server recommended trying the dessert – a perfect ending to our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Torito Posole is one of the best dishes I've had! It was rich and full of flavor, made from fresh ingredients. The service was quick, and there was no waiting for a table on a Saturday evening. Overall, a delightful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot! El Torito's beachside location is outstanding, and their drinks are delicious! We enjoyed their seafood platter, and the freshness was top-notch; the shrimp were outstanding. I would recommend anyone seeking a family-friendly place to check this restaurant out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about El Torito. The view is incredible, but the food did not live up to the hype. The tacos were underwhelming, and I expected more from a place known for Mexican cuisine. Service was friendly but slow. I may give it another shot because of the views. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing service and a lovely dinner experience! The chicken enchiladas were baked to perfection, and the chips and salsa were fresh. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. We enjoyed our time here so much that we stayed for dessert—don't skip the churros! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at El Torito was an absolute delight! The staff was courteous, and the ambiance was lively with a stunning ocean view. We ordered the enchiladas and were pleasantly surprised by the flavors! The freshness of the ingredients was evident, making every bite enjoyable. Highly recommend their guacamole, freshly made at the table. Perfect spot for a family dinner! " (*Curated Review*)
