This place was a little hard to find - a bit in an office complex? Self Parking was really easy and they also offer valet. We forgot to ask if they validated. The food and drink here was really good. They bring seasoned chips, salsa, and bean dip to the table - I feel like beans are such a bonus. The drinks were really good. It was hard to pick but I landed on Blooms and Berries. My 8 year old found a love of calamari on this trip so we ordered that. These were calamari steaks in a coconut breading and really so so good. We also had the queso and it was good as well. I had the grilled shrimp app as my main - they were heads on and we all had some fun with that! Delicious flavor from the grill and very filling - they were big! The restaurant was open and well lit - nice atmosphere for sure. If you order the elotes they cut it off for you - so nice!!

Really nicely decorated place. High end and trendy. Food and service was pretty solid. You can park in the garage that's connected to the restaurant and get your ticket validated for up to 2 hours.

They just opened. Great atmosphere and nice service. They have a great outdoor patio with heaters if it gets cold. Live music inside. Watch for the right parking structure. The correct one is adjacent to the restaurant. Don't go to the one behind the restaurant that's not connected to it. You won't be able to get validation there.

New Mexican restaurant in the Irvine area. In the middle of all the corporate/business buildings. Upscale, valet parking , parking structure (make sure you get your parking ticket validated) ordered the salmon esquite plate to go. Healthy choice. Super delicious! $48. Check it out! Totally recommend it if your in the area.

Ripped off by El Torito Beware of buying a gift card from El Torito (or any other restaurant that is part of Xperience Restaurant Group, such as Chevy’s, etc.). Several months ago I bought a $100 gift card from the El Torito Grill in Irvine, CA. After using the card one time the card should have had a balance of just under $50. I was planning to use the card again in June but the balance on the card was showing as zero. I talked to the Manager of the El Torito Grill in Irvine and he checked and found the card was completely cleared out with a purchase in May at the El Torito in Lakewood, CA. But there are 2 problems with this. First, the card has been in my possession the entire time since the card was created. Second, I have never been to the Lakewood, CA El Torito in my entire life! Someone was able to completely clear out the balance on my card without having access to the physical gift card itself. Possibly an inside job by someone with access to their system? I have repea

I've never had a problem there. I've watched them bring out freshly cooked food several times. Its all you can eat with non-stop mimosas and a variety of food. Brunches like this are not cheap. Staff was great to us. Maybe you're better off getting a Denny's meal with Denny's prices.
