El Torito

Great location and a good lunch menu. There was a good selection of lunch items and many items were large portions. Enjoyed the lunch combo with the tamale and a chicken taco. Everything was hot - so happy about that. The taco fell apart when picked up but still tasty. The tamale didn’t have that much chicken but the flavor was good. Make sure to check before you eat - there was still some remaining foil from the wrapper. Chips and salsa were good but the view is what it’s all about. The service was great and the staff was very attentive. Will definitely come back. Lastly, they had one of the yummiest flan I’ve had in a while.

Made a reservation at 1:30, had to wait until 2pm to be seated only after I reminded them that I had been waiting for at least 30 mins as others were being seated before us. As soon as we were seated, I got the smell of throw up/ dirty carpet, this place need a good clean. My water cup was dirty from the rim, I chose not to drink it. Overall really bad experience.

El Torito has good food and service but the margaritas are very weak and poor. We went for classic Taco Tuesday and enjoyed the tacos, but we were so disappointed in the drinks. So we left and went next door to Harpoon Henry's. They have a phenomenal happy hour with tasty Mai Tai's. Next time we will just go there! This photo is from Harpoon Henry's!

First of all I really like El Torito's food, it's delicious! But this location is my favorite El Torito restaurant because it's in the Dana Point Harbor. The restaurant has great views and you can go out for a walk after you eat. I was there on Sunday, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the service was outstanding.
