This was our first time visiting El Torito. Do not let the name of the restaurant detour you from Poppin in. I thought, Hispanic name, but country cookin? Say what? I had the grilled chicken sandwich with carrots instead of fries. The carrots were cooked very well. Not too soft, not top firm. Personally, I feel they were just right. They are cooked without spice. I added a bit of pepper and a pinch of salt. The chicken sandwich was legit amazing. It was simple. A thin slice of chicken breast; which is what I prefer in comparison to a thick slice. The chicken was juicy, and flavored well in my opinion. The tomato was ripe, and the lettuce was crisp. The BF had the country breakfast plate. He rates the overall breakfast at an 8 1/2 out of ten. He prefers crispy hash browns and crisp bacon. I’m sure if you ask for crispy they we will make it that way. The flavor was on point. He said the pancakes were ok. Nothing fancy. Again he prefers crispy foods. He would have liked for them to be a little more crispy on the edges. We will most definitely come back to try out more food.

Stopped in for a late lunch. The food was good, environment comforting, and owner was friendly and helpful. I love a daily special

This place is a gem in the making . Food was amazing . First time here, came in for a late lunch and was able to get breakfast cause it’s served all day. The owner is getting used to business picking up due to growing community support. He is a very nice man that loves to cook amazing food! With that said the service is a little slow, one waitress, she seemed kinda frazzled. Some items they were out of so some menu options were not available. I assume once they accommodate for the growing customers they will be better prepared. I will definitely be back!

First time here, heard a lot of this place so.I had to swing by. Literally a whole in the wall, and the food was perfect!! The green beans and carrots were perfectly cooked and of course the rest of the meal. Chicken fried chicken was done perfectly and hot! Definitely recommend this place

If you don’t want to cook, but want a home cooked meal try this place. It’s like Kelley’s but reasonable prices and the food is delicious. I couldn’t decide between the Chicken Fried Chicken Breast and the Turkey with dressing, so I got both. The sweet tea was The BOMB. There’s a little bit of a wait because it’s understaffed, but worth it. I want to try the Breakfast next time. When I was paying they got a to-go order on the phone and it was on speaker the person was also ordering the Turkey and Dressing plate. Lol who says you have to wait til November for Thanksgiving dinner. El Torito Country Cooking is a hidden gem. #supportlocal

Didn’t like the food at all. Had no ac, just fans on. Very hot inside and couldn’t wait to leave. Guy needs to hire some help. He’s the cook an the waiter, not very friendly either.

My husband and I arrived too this small restaurant in the morning for breakfast. Let me say it’s been one of the best most tasteful breakfast I have had that is locally made from the man I believe owns the place he cooked and took our orders himself.

Was making a stop both here and at the paleteria next door, was getting my daughter a popsicle first , so she can enjoy while we wait on food and not even a few steps out of the car and the older man came out screaming to move my car if i was getting paletas , assuming I wasn’t going to order from him as well. I moved my car in front of paleteria and didn’t even end up ordering my food , will never be coming back.
