Made a reservation at 1:30, had to wait until 2pm to be seated only after I reminded them that I had been waiting for at least 30 mins as others were being seated before us. As soon as we were seated, I got the smell of throw up/ dirty carpet, this place need a good clean. My water cup was dirty from the rim, I chose not to drink it. Overall really bad experience.

El Torito has good food and service but the margaritas are very weak and poor. We went for classic Taco Tuesday and enjoyed the tacos, but we were so disappointed in the drinks. So we left and went next door to Harpoon Henry's. They have a phenomenal happy hour with tasty Mai Tai's. Next time we will just go there! This photo is from Harpoon Henry's!
