    The staff there is the best! I asked if I could change my reservation to an hour earlier, on the same day, and they could oblige. Luckily, it was closer to their opening, so it was doable. The service staff were so friendly, quick, and professional. The buffet was the best food ever. It was Thanksgiving, and they had traditional foods and our El Torito favorites! Our family was thrilled with the entire experience! Great Thanksgiving, thanks to El Torito!!

    First time to visit this restaurant. The entrance seems a bit odd but as soon as you open the door and walk in, it has a nice vibe. Dining area is all the way to the back, past the bar and library lounge. Food was great and the complimentary sparkling red wine was a nice touch. I just have an issue with forcing you to order all the food at once (appetizers and entre). I would rather have an option of ordering appetizers first and tasting it and see how large or small the portions are, then I pick my entre. By the way, we did ala carte and not Prix Fixe menu to have the liberty of ordering everything we want to try. Overall, the experience was good, although it could be better.
