Delicious food, great service and awesome drinks. We've been here 5 years, didn't think it was any good. We were wrong. One of my favorite spots. I totally recommend it. Looks like they're finally getting a much needed remodel. They've taken out the fountain.
Stopped in for lunch this week and tried the (tortilla) soup and (Mexican style) salad, which I had not noticed before on the menu. I was surprised by how much it reminded me of the Olive Garden soup and salad, which I love! All it needed was a little hot sauce to spice it up. Very good!
El Torito is in a great location. There is a lot of parking and hardly any wait time when I went. My server Allania was so sweet and perfect! She made sure I was set with everything as soon as I sat down. My food was hot and extremely delicious! I will definitely be back soon.
Yesterday my boy’s and I went to Sunday brunch for the first time. Our server Tiffany was amazing very attentive, efficient, and always with a big smile. To top it off the green chicken pozole was amazing. We will definitely return and have her as our server again. For such a pleasant and fun experience. Thank you El Torito for a great time.
Ate dinner with a large group at the Stockton El Torito. Drinks and dinner was good but our waiter Kyle was awesome! Personality plus, attentive, checked on us and was the best! Kyle could open a training center for all wait staff as he's that good. Thanks!
Our waitress was awesome. Very attentive, kept drinks filled. Took out Omelette order quickly. But she didnt rush us. We celebrated daughters birthday. Food was good too.
ARRIVED 15 minutes before closing..!! 1 NEW Waiter..!!.. IT'S Father's Day..!!..All by HIMSELF {plus HE'S a NEW DAD}..!! What a Doll he was to my Friend and I..!! Making us feel VERY WELCOMED and NON INTRUSIVE..!! {even though we stayed there for 45 minutes after closing..}..Thank you El Torito for providing MYSELF with 🥳 35+ YEARS OF GREAT MEMORIES..!!!
$31 for Sunday brunch. Nice layout. Pretty good selection of food. All the food is behind a plastic shield. You point to what you want. For the eggs, you fill out a slip of paper at your table. Your server picks up slip of paper, has your eggs made and serves them to you at the table. They have a taco bar and a dessert bar. It was OK but I’m not in any hurry to return.
This place has a very good selection of Mexican food for those wanting to try new foods but aren't sure what the food looks like in person. Sunday brunch is the way to go with bottomless mimosas I would definitely go back no questions asked..😎 Alejandra was our super star server and she went far and beyond to give us super service. Definitely recommend to sit in her section.
Alexis(not sure on the spelling) was our server. She was upbeat and so helpful. They were down a server but she was cheerful and a pleasure to have as our server. I could hear here interacting with other customers and she would always be so helpful. Our bill totaled over $90. I ended up tipping her $20, but I know she has to share with bus people and such. So I blessed her with another $20 just for herself. I wish I had all the money in the world to give to her. She a great asset to your company and needs a raise! Alexis if you see these I hope that helped and your an awesome person with a great soul!
Delicious food, great service and awesome drinks. We've been here 5 years, didn't think it was any good. We were wrong. One of my favorite spots. I totally recommend it. Looks like they're finally getting a much needed remodel. They've taken out the fountain. New logo looks awesome. Can't wait to see what this place looks like after the remodel and change of color scheme. Much needed.
I love the salad so so so much and I’m also so loving the customer service these days as well. I’ve always believed that customer service is the most important thing when jt comes to a good restaurant. Well it was like a breath of fresh air to get to experience both last night. (Good food and good customer service).
Alexis in the dining area is a fabulous server with a great attitude, honest opinions and went above and beyond to what she needed to do. We were just passing through and live an hour away and because of her we will definitely be back and ask for her again. Give this girl a raise! See ya soon Alexis!!
Justin was our server in the bar area. He was amazing. Fast and friendly service. Took care of our large party with excellence. He made our experience fantastic. The food was hot and delicious as usual.
Pretty restaurant with good service and Mexican food. We went during an off-time at late lunch, so prices were high. Go during their lunch specials. The tableside guacamole is made fresh by the server.
Justin was our server and was very attentive and friendly. We were told the kitchen was a little slow but we had no problem getting our food right away. Little messy around us, like short on bussers, but food was excellent. I went with Tacos Vampiros. Like an enchilada sauce soaked cor tortilla so it was soft and messy but great!
El Torito is a great place to go for Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner ! They have so many options and all of their plates have great presentation. We stopped by here on a Saturday morning around noon , & they were still serving breakfast . Their Churro pancakes are delicious and my favorite overall are the sizzling enchiladas they are a must! The host Alicia greets you as soon as you walk in with a friendly smile. Our server Lucy is so sweet and took good care of us as well. Her co-worker “kukis” also kept an eye on us at all times ! Love the Teamwork!! Their manager Cecilia is always on the floor and checking on all the tables & even on her team. This place feels like home as soon as you walk in , will be back to try out their new Happy Hour Menu !
Even though they may have been short staffed the staff that was there was wonderful. We sat at the bar and had a delicious meal. A wonderful bartender with a beautiful smile saw to it that we waited for nothing. Very nice evening.
Delicious food, great service and awesome drinks. We've been here 2 years, didn't think it was any good. We were wrong. One of my favorite new spots. I totally recommend it.
Date night did not disappoint. Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Consistent quality and is a pleasant dinning experience. I love the fountain
While the staff was friendly the facility was dirty, unorganized, and felt quite like no one should be in there. The salsa was really watery on the table. The food took a really long time to come. This was surprising because my friends and I were only one of three tables sat in the whole restaurant. When it did though the table side salad creation on the steak salad was really fun. The salad itself was tasty but nothing extraordinary.
I love this place. I bring my wife and 3 small children here. Delicious food. Great drinks. Cadillac margaritas and 1800 flaming fajitas are what i ALWAYS order. Will continue coming here. No wait. Always a table available. Great service, prompt. Good family atmosphere high chairs for little ones. And GREAT PRICE!!!
Wonderful! I love the food. The service is super friendly. They made me feel like family. We were celebrating a special occasion, and they could not have been kinder.
Love this place!!!! Been here a couple times during the quarantine. It's a shame that this place is so empty due to that fact. Always friendly service, accommodating, clean, and tasty.
Our second time coming to El Torito in Stockton, picked up a family fajita dinner and did not regret it! Everything was great, I wish they filled up the rice and beans just a little more but next time I’ll just order more of the sides, no big deal! Service was fast, we made our order online and one of the girls came out quickly and was very sweet! The order was complete and she made sure everything was inside the bags for us. We will be back! Thank you
The food is consistently fresh and tasty, employees hands over excellent service. I liked the cleanliness and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
This is a local family restaurant. Prices are slightly higher. Good Service, Good Food, Good choice for family events. Updated - 2019
I had an excellent experience here. Finally, my family and I were able to dine out even if it was outdoors! The employees were great, the music too and the food and margaritas were just fabulous. We all wore our masks, used hand sanitizer and we all had a great time!
Everyone did an outstanding job considering what they had to deal with from the covid 19 fiasco the state of California is putting them through.
The food was delicious. Prices were reasonable. The service though was not up to par with the prices and atmosphere. Granted they had plenty of servers around to assist us, the server assigned to our table was not so available. She was friendly yes, I give her that. But I was hoping she would have been more attentive to her customers. I know being a server is no cake-walk, so kudos to all those who are still busting it.
My favorite spot for quality Mexican food. Service is excellent even when they are busy. Staff treated us so kindly. The place has a cool feel to it.
Sitting outside in the sun was lovely with amazing waitress who was very attentive and friendly. The food menu seemed different since I have last been there, so I am looking forward to trying some of their newer options next time I visit. I tried the steak fajitas and they were excellent for their Monday special. It was a nice portion and very tasty. I love their chips and salsa too.
Rodrigo Lopez is the best person i have met! Very friendly, very attend and always be there to know the customer experience! Thumbs up for people like him! I would love to come back! Congrats to Rodrigo Lopez!
Waitress was really nice, but eating outside was not as nice as being inside. Kinda cold, and the outside area could have been picked up better. Food was pretty good, and chips and salsa were very good as well. Service was very good with order and food coming out quickly. Had not been there in a long time. I'd try it again on a nicer day or evening and hopefully be able to eat inside. Pretty good considering the cold weather.
Went For Mother's Day Sunday Brunch!!!! They Have Four Different Food Buffet Station Set Up And Another Station For The Deserts!!! With Endless Mimosas Drinks Were Great!!! We Enjoyed Our Selves!!! Definitely Going Back 🔙
We received excellent service. The Margaritas were great and had plenty of alcohol. The bar top was a bit sticky but we enjoyed our overall experience. Definitely coming back.
I do not recommend going to El Torito for anything except brunch, happy hour, and/or taco Tuesday. Their regular food is whatever. I never was a fan. Their brunch however was amazing. We loved the variety and those pancakes were so good. I have only 1 problem. We got there a little late. Brunch ends at 2. I asked them if they end it at 2, can we still have brunch since we were seated pretty late. They reassured me that they would keep serving us as long as we were eating. Well 2 rolled around pretty fast. I went to get food, everything was gone. They didn't give us a warning. Plus they seated us far in the back where no one could really see us. I was pretty unhappy about this. I like the food, but if I would have known they would do that I could have ate somewhere else.
This is one of my all-time favorite spots to come to in Stockton. Whether it’s for a Sunday brunch, a nice dinner or just simple drinks and conversation. This place always seems to come to mind. I’ve also been here a couple of times during football season, as it’s nice to have a couple of drinks at the bar watching the game and eating some good food every now and again so I want to spark up some good conversation as well. We decided last minute to have dinner at the spot as a previous other choice had a very extensive weight. Once we arrived here we only had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes. Stopping here made for an awesome night.
Didn't took long to get a table. Guy was really nice with the drinks and the food was being served fast. The lady in charge of the dessert table didn't know what she was doing, she looked confused as to what to do or what was in front of her when I asked what was sertain items where she just gave me a puzzled look.. Overall everything was good but it does need a bit more variety and work at the dessert table.
Went in with the wife and kids. Food wasnt bad ordered dessert first because well you never get to it and always take home food so why not try it! Either way only got one refill and drinks were empty for a while for and by the time the food came the plates were super hot which makes me think it sat for a while which I'm sure it did as everything the waitress did took a while. Spent about 110 for a dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids overall could have been better for first time there
Food that I ordered was good. I ordered the crispy beef taco and beef enchilada with rice and beans. The service was also very nice and helpful. Yes Kristina #661 is awesome with a great attitude, thank you.
I love this place to eat. We order our breakfast and it taste so good. The server gives us an excellent service. You can take a lot of pictures while waiting for your food to be serve because they have nice picture frames and a fountain inside the restaurant. I recommend this restaurant to.my family and friends. You will surely love their food and service.
My husband and I had our first date here more than 33 years ago. It was a wonderful surprise to see it still open. So we had dinner for our 30th anniversary. Amazing! The food was sinfully good and the staff are the best! Here's to another 30!! 😊💛✌🏼👍🏼💜
Saturday breakfast was awesome! We sat in the bar area and got the best service! Hard to find a brunch spot on a Saturday which is the best day to have brunch. College football on, great spot for the best day of the week. Can't wait to go back.
Good quality average, service friendly. We were seated on the bar side of the restaurant and smelled sewer type odors. It didn’t ruin the evening but diminished the overall experience.
Excellent service and food. Our server keep the mimosas coming and constantly came by our table to make sure everything was good with our food. First time I had brunch there and I was not disappointed
Loved their deep fried ice cream... DELICIOUS! The waitresses were fast to help our table & to serve us. Dessert came out in a timely manner. 😋
It was my birthday & 2 days before Christmas. It was late in the evening. There was like 10 of us. They got us in VERY quickly. We couldn't make up our minds. We had a young baby & a very rambunctious, slightly autistic 7-year-old with us. The waitress and staff were amazingly patient with us. Food was WONDERFUL. Drinks were great. Our server Alejandra, went above and beyond. Then there was Rachel, a supervisor (I think), made it's so warm and comfortable. Felt like being home. We will definitely be coming back. Plus she deserves a scooter for Christmas. LOL.
