    The birria is better than when we had it 3 days ago. Should have more selected wines. I feel bad for our waiter. She was alone.

    It was a good experience overall. Our server was amazing. The food was good and fresh. A couple people working could use some customer service skills. My wife had some plastic in her food and I witnessed a lady digging in the food with her hands but hey it’s a buffet. Can’t control everyone. Overall it was good.

    We always enjoy our dinners at El Torito. They were having a special for chicken fajitas for 10.99 (normally around 20). Very good value and excellent service.

    Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by hostess and immediately seated. Server promptly greeted us and we were able to get our beverages and start our trips to the buffet. Wonderful selection and churro pancakes suggested by the server completed our experience.
