It was horrible! They called me because they closed earlier than usual, and that if we wanted to be attended it had to be early, we were already at the place so we passed. We waited to be seated, but when they were going to give us a table they told us that the only thing we could order were tamales and beans.

I have used El Torito for Thanksgiving celebrations with my family in the past several times. I will do otherwise in the future. The service was wonderful. The ambience was awful. The music was so loud, our party of 7 could not carry on a conversation at our table. This was even after the staff moved us from one part of the restaurant to another. The food this time left much to be desired. The turkey was so dry as to be inedible. The normal Mexican dishes were very good as usual, but the Thanksgiving fare was not inspiring at all.

We went for the Sunday brunch and it was really, really good. The champagne glasses were never empty. We had a friend with disabilities and the waitress waited on her and brought her requests to the table for her, which was above and beyond. It looked like the brunch was a popular event for birthdays, families, and friends.

The bar area was loud. Thankfully the volume was lowered. I think our waiter had too many tables. He would vanish for long periods. He was very nice and professional he just needs help.
