Editorial Review for El Torito Grill – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Building on the already-successful chain of family restaurants, the Grill offers a slicker version of the typical Mexican restaurant. Its fluorescent '80s sign and volcano-rock bar gives way to warm, earthy Southwestern decor in the dining area. The food is prepared with only fresh ingredients (watch tortillas made on-site), with highlights including fajitas, chili relleno and carne asada. Visit the bar for its great weekday happy hour and extensive array of tequilas.

My husband and I used to love El Torito Grill. We've been very disappointing the last couple of time we have been there. The tortillas are still good and fresh. The food service is very slow and not very pleasant. The entries are ok but very inconsistent.

While I love eating dinner here, my girlfriends and I go all the time just to pig out on hand made tortillas, chicken tacquitos and margaritas. The bar is especially packed on game nights and is fairly popular with the after-work crowd. Afternoons, though, are much less crowded.
