The location at Torrance Beach has more ambiance. The food standard in South Bay is quite high and the fare at this restaurant may get a higher score elsewhere, but for the most part it was just average.

food was COLD, horrible service, order was wrong, took too long, ad experience all together1 i reccomend this to no one!

Not only good but great plate presentation. The food is very colorful and creatively displayed. It's a little fancier than the regular El Torito.

We like the Torrance location as it has the Southwestern Cuisine. The complimentary tortillas and 3 kinds of butters/toppings are awesome. The food at the Torrance location is always good.

Love this place, great food. They start you off with freshly made tortillias a nice salsa and honey butter. They are amazing!

Good bar scene, friend servers

The server who was serving us was extremely knowledgeable about Mexican food,his suggestions were absolutely great. Try Cilantro soup if you have a taste for it.

Excellant service! If you like outdoor mesquite grilled taste,thats what your gonna have at el torito grill., great tex/mex food and delicous margaritas!!! nice for couples,family,friends or solo. they even accomadate a private room in back for private parties or buisness meetings.

Pretty disappointing. I would expect much better Mexican food in Southern California, even if it is a national chain outlet.

Used to be excellent and one of my favorite places to go, so much so that we get a gift card at Christmas every year. The food is worse and worse every time we go. So sad!
