“ Excellent place. Food was awesome. We are from Chandler AZ USA. Great local place to eat off the tourist trap. If you are in the area it’s a must!!! ”
“ Presentation, service, and atmosphere was great. Open air, plenty of fans, large portions, fresh fish, and good spicy sauces on the side. They were on top of things and looked like lead server/management was detail oriented. I really enjoyed our experience here and would definitely go again. Pictured is the tuna ceviche and fried shrimp. ”
“ Very good flavor. The service is great, the guy had no problem explaining 6 different meals. The menu is vast, pretty much an option for everyone. It doesn't have great views like the Malecon restaurants, but it is definitely worth it. ”
“ Greetings once again from the shrimp capital of the Pacific Ocean. El Torito is one of the city's favorite restaurants, and it's easy to see why. With a broad range of choices to choose from, including their signature seafood dishes along with the traditional Mexican cuisine, any choice is a winner. On this visit, I chose the Arrachera carñe asada plate, and Pippa, my girlfriend, chose a fresh tuna ceviche with mango. Both were excellent because the seafood in this city is as fresh as any place on earth. The beef in Mexico is better than most countries because of the proximity to the ranches that supply the local businesses. Making the meat fresher and less processed. Resulting in better tasting and more tender dishes. If you don't believe me, come on down and try it yourself, friends. I gotta get busy eating! ”
“ The sea food is delicious and the service is great nice place and reasonable prices. ”
