Amazing staff and incredible service. Came in for fajita tacos and was given complimentary items too. Hector was extremely nice and provided everything we needed. Food was also delicious, portions were great and price was reasonable. Would definitely go back!

Anticipating an excellent Mexican meal to celebrate a significant anniversary, I am sorry to say how disappointing the entire meal was... Several of the combination platter items were dry, overcooked, over-spiced, and just uninspired! The shrimp fajitas were excessively over- spiced, the vegetables in particular were not edible given the intensely hot spices, the shrimp however were good. After living in the Laguna Hills area for years, we thought celebrating with the local El Torito would be on par with past experiences at other El Torito restaurants. In the future, I will stay with the exceptional food at Hacienda on the Lake, Mission Viejo, or even the reliable Adolpho's, Laguna Beach. Time to up your game Laguna Hills El Torito!
