El Torito

Founded in California in 1954, El Torito continues to be the authority in great Mexican food. Over 60 years, we’ve learned a lot about Mexican food. El Torito.

For over 60 years we’ve honored our Mexican heritage with flavorful slow-cooked meals and handcrafted margaritas. With a history of innovation in Mexican cuisine in the U.S., El Torito is credited with introducing the “margarita cocktail,” in addition to popularizing such items as tableside guacamole, the sizzling fajitas platter and the edible tostada shell. Our menu features traditional classics

to bold innovations, inspired by flavors from famous regions in Mexico and the brand’s legacy in California. El Torito also offers margaritas made from the restaurant’s selection of premium tequilas, along with a wide selection of cocktails and Mexican beers on tap. Like how not to mess it up. We Know Mexican. For more information visit: http://www.eltorito.com/.
