What Monac M doesn't like about El Torito - San Leandro:
The restaurant did not give priority to groups with reservations, leading us to have to complain until they finally seated us 30 minutes after our scheduled time. View all feedback. What Edmund Weber likes about El Torito - San Leandro:
The food was delicious as usual. We had dinner during happy hour so there were many items that were very inexpensive. The service is also outstanding. Our server was very attentive. Just be prepared for a little more noise given that it is very busy. View all feedback.

El Torito has been a long-standing favorite for many, but recent reviews suggest a decline in quality and service, with some patrons stating they may not return. Despite these mixed reviews, some customers still praise the delicious food and attentive service they received. While the cost may cause some sticker shock, the restaurant's ambience and overall experience could make it a good choice for a special occasion. Additionally, some customers reported positive experiences at other nearby restaurants, such as Enzo’s, where they enjoyed unique dishes like artichoke dip and flatbread-style pizza. Overall, the decision to return to El Torito may vary depending on individual preferences and expectations.

I've never had such terrible food in my life. The dishes were bland and lacked any flavor or seasoning.
