El Torito - Palmdale

Amazing experience from start to finish! Klarissa was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Service was quick without feeling rushed, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. We will definitely be coming back.

We came to El Torito to celebrate my mom’s birthday and had a great experience. The atmosphere was festive, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. My mom truly enjoyed her birthday dinner. El Torito is a great spot for family celebrations, and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Marissa was a great server. She gave us a great service was very attentive refilled my drink with no questions asked. The manager for that night was also very nice and table touched. I had the Birria tacos and they were to die for, nice and hot, and the consome was great!!

Victor was our amazing server! He was so attentive and kept my mimosas and OJ filled baby! 😂 The food was excellent as always, but truly the service is why I keep coming back to this El Torito. Every server I've ever had here is friendly and on top of their game. But Victor definitely made a huge impression on me today.

Came to El Torito for happy hour had the pleasure of receiving the server Rachel L employee number 65 she was cheerful and willing to explain the happy hour menu on taco Tuesday. She even offered my son a mocktail

Ashley provided amazing service. It was busy but the vibes were good. The wrong drink got made and she caught it right away but decided to offer it to me just in case I was willing to try it, because she thought it was great. It was. I ended up ordering a second one after. She made other great suggestions and was very friendly and made an effort to connect. It was a fun night out with my parents.

Really enjoy the bull outside for pictures. I came with my mom the hosts were nice and definitely made my mom happy. I talked to the manager about the selection of music. It was nice listening to a nice variety. Sandy was very nice and my sever filled up my drinks alot. thanks for the good time. My Mom enjoyed it too.

I came in yesterday with my husband and it was pretty dead. We ordered a fajita salad and chicken trio tacos. Our server Clarissa was by far the best server we have ever had. She was extremely hospitable and welcoming. Definitely coming back for her! 10/10 she was amazing.

Myra was an excellent server! She was full of personality and very patient. My family and I had a great time! The food came quickly as well and everything was wonderful. Prices were decent. My family really enjoyed the margaritas too!

Had an amazing time ! The drinks were good and the service as well ! My server Lidibel was very attentive and had my food done fast. Would definitely come back for happy hour ! Thank you to manager Francisco as well.

This place is honestly amazing. The food is awesome. The drinks are amazing and the service is great. They truly take care of everyone and make the experience awesome. We will definitely come back here for every special event. Our server was Sandra and she took amazing care of us, this was honestly the greatest night of my life. They were literally doing backflips off of the table. I got a free hat and they paid off my entire debt 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Ashley our server was very cordial, attentive, and proactive to our needs. She checked in frequently to make sure the food was good and we had what we needed. We would like to say thank you for the amazing service. She was wonderful. Thank you Ashley! We loved the Mango Habanero Chicken Wings.

Great service, very friendly and the manager Francisco came by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Overall great experience.

Food was great and came out very fast- Victor our server was amazing. Very friendly and helpful- felt like we knew him for years. Please let him know much he is appreciated!

Excellent service. Francisco, the waiter who served us, was very friendly and attentive at all times. He provided great service and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for the great attention!

We had such an amazing experience, and Rachel truly made it unforgettable! From the moment we walked in, she was bubbly, welcoming, and so attentive. Her service was beyond exceptional she was always there right when we needed her without us ever having to ask. We didn’t have to wait for a table, our drinks came out quickly, and the food arrived fast and fresh. Rachel constantly checked in on us with the sweetest attitude and made sure everything was perfect. She made us feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time. If you visit, definitely ask for Rachel she’s amazing and truly elevates the whole dining experience!

We came in for Happy hour and Nicole was our waitress she was very attentive and friendly. She was very polite we loved her as our waitress she’s the best! The sopes were delicious and the margarita flight was really tasty! Checkout the happy hour menu they have really good prices!

We haven't been here in years because the food wasn't great buuut then we tried it again today since its been under new management and man we're pleasantly surprised. We came for happy hour and all the food we got was fresh and hot. We got the carne asada fries, sopes, mini tacos, Birria tacos and the flautas. Delicious and will definitely be coming back. Our server Rachael was awesome as well.

Rachel is an amazing server! She was attentive and very patient as we were taking forever to decide on what we wanted. She was also honest about the spice levels in the wings which I truly appreciate. The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was delicious! Those flautas are fire!! Bathrooms are clean and had a pleasant smell. That’s really important to me. Definitely recommend our local El Torito to the locals and visitors.

Went to El torio after a movie to get a quick bite to eat. We had the fajitas and a blackberry. Margarita off the happy hour menu. Both were fantastic. Definitely four stars But what was absolutely five stars was our waitress, Rachel. She was so warm and friendly. Very genuine and attentive beyond believe. Our drink glasses were never empty. Our food arrived hot and our dishes were removed promptly. When we asked for suggestions she gave them to us and they were all fantastic. She was the star of the show and absolutely what made us give a five-star review. In a world full of substandard service, Rachel is a breath of refreshing phenomenal service air. She is in a class all her own. Thank you Rachel! You're a superstar!!

Great place to hang out with friends and family. The customer service is great and they always do their best to attend to to your needs. You can hang out and watch the game, or have dinner with your family. Francisco the Manager at the Palmdale location is awesome, always attentive, interactive and has a great attitude. He takes care of his customers for sure. Would recommend this spot for sure.!

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining in. Our server Rachel was amazing! She took our order and memorized it and it came out perfect. Also she was very funny and engaged us with conversation when time permitted. Plus, it was not too busy and that exactly the way I like it! Great Job!

We had an amazing experience at El Torito for the brunch buffet celebrating my son’s 16th birthday! From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful. The food was delicious, fresh, and there was a great variety for everyone to enjoy. What truly made our visit special was our server, Jessica. She was absolutely amazing, attentive, friendly, and made sure our celebration felt special. She checked in on us often, kept everything running smoothly, and had such a positive attitude the entire time. Her service really went above and beyond. Thank you to the El Torito team and especially Jessica for helping make my son’s birthday brunch so memorable. We will definitely be back!

Our server, Victoria, was a very nice man. He was fast and friendly, he even got the staff to sing happy birthday after we mentioned a birthday at our table. This was the best brunch we’ve been to

Rachel was phenomenal. She just came from San Antonio and brought some of the southern hospitality to the west coast. I’m already consumed by the thought of coming back tomorrow and the day after. She has incredible hospitality and service. Fransisco is an outstanding manager and came to check up on me multiple times. Thanks for the great experience.

I dined on a Sunday night so it wasn't too busy, but the food and and the environment were very good. I enjoyed a combination plate with a beef taco and chicken enchilada. I loved the taste of everything on the plate, but the only thing I wish I had was some salsa served on the side to put on the crispy taco. I could have used the salsa served with the light and tasty tortilla chips but I ate all of that before I got my food. On top of great food and a great environment I had a lovely waitress named Diana that provided great service while I was there. I'll definitely be back to try other food items and explore their drink menu too.

⸻ I had an amazing experience thanks to our bartender, Kique. From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly professional. He really knows his craft every drink he made was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. On top of that, his friendly personality and great conversation made the night even better. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. If you’re looking for top-tier service, ask for Kique. Highly recommended!

Good place to go. We got right in and Ashley was our server and she was great. She was balancing a large party and the rest of her tables but kept us informed and made sure we were alright. The food was delicious with good sized servings, plus the jalapeño cucumber margarita is 👌

I Came to celebrate my birthday with the family and we love this place! The food was delicious, the service was great, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Francisco and Renee for making our celebration special we will definately be coming back.

Thank you so much our experience here has been excellent. We will definitely be back you're happy hour food is great your drinks are great everyday from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. hour check it out y'all

Rachel was our server and was absolutely amazing! She was prompt in bringing us what we ordered. Checked in frequently and was a pleasure to interact with. The food was fresh, and delicious, and the margaritas were perfect. Highly recommend.

My waitress, MJ, was awesome and very nice. Made me feel welcomed with her beautiful smile and helped with menu selection. The food was good. Steak was a little overcooked, which dried it out. Shrimp was done well, and salsa with chips was great. Drink were great and well balanced. Atmosphere was live with lots of people Friday night. Bar area is a great place to get together with friends. Unfortunately, I was there by myself, lol.

I visited El Torito in Palmdale last weekend and tried their Carne Asada & Shrimp platter, the skirt steak and shrimp were nicely seasoned, and the rice, beans, guacamole and warm tortillas made the meal feel complete and satisfying. The flavors were just right, the steak had a good char, the shrimp were juicy, and the guac added a nice creamy freshness. I appreciated that this location seems to offer vegetarian-friendly options: I saw veggie/bean-based dishes listed like the veggie fajitas or bean enchiladas if you skip cheese/cream, which made the place a reasonable option if you’re avoiding meat or looking for lighter fare. The service was friendly and the pace was good, though the dining area felt a little dated and the ambiance was modest (nothing fancy, but comfortable for a casual meal). Overall, it was a solid dining experience, tasty plates, fair portions, and enough flexibility for different diets. I’d come back for another meal when I’m in the mood for good Mexican food.

The bartender made my experience a 10/10. I’m a non alcoholic drinker. It’s very hard to find a 0.0 beverage that doesn’t taste gross. Rachel accommodated my needs and made amazing recommendations. I will definitely be back to sit at her bar.

I used to go to this restaurant a lot when I lived in CA. The food has gone downhill. I really looked forward to the corn cake. No flavor, mushy and it wasn’t cooked properly. A hair in our food. Staff were very apologetic and we appreciated the friends and family discount. All of our food looked great but there were a lot of hiccups. I traveled all the way from FL to CA expecting a great meal.
