“ I had the best dining experience here today! I was leaving the airport coming back from an early flight as the restaurant was about to open for Sunday brunch. I was the first person to arrive just past 9am.The staff greeted me so warm and so happy!!! I always was well attended as I sat and more folks started to come in and be seated. The food was amazing and well made but it’s the service that stood out for me! Staff was top notch so early in the morning. Smiles and genuine hospitality as well as great conversation as I was there alone, early right after leaving LAX ”

“ From the moment I walked into El Torito, I was warmly greeted by Naila, who immediately made me feel welcome. She walked me to my table with a smile, brought out the chips promptly, and was incredibly efficient and delightful throughout the experience. What stood out most was not only how attentive she was to me, but how she interacted with everyone around her. I saw her helping her coworkers, checking on other tables to making sure guests were being taken care of, and keeping such a positive attitude the entire time. Naila Truly went above and beyond, and it didn't go unnoticed. I wanted to write this review because people like her deserve to be recognized, not just by customers but by the company, too. She is a valuable part of El Torito team!! Thanks to her, I'll be recommending El Torito to everyone I know. And I'll be hoping Naila is there to host them too. ”
