El Torito Grill - Brea

Took 40 mins to get our food and the restaurant was not busy only two other tables in our section. Server was not pleasant and you can tell he did not want York that day. Finally got our food and it was cold!

The Sunday brunch is really great. Nice carvery with roasted beef and pork belly! Get there early tho because it gets packed. Ceasar was so awesome!! He was so attentive.

This place rebranded ET Grill is always great! NOT to be confused by regular El Torito (which is owned by the same company) the menu is different, food quality is better and and the ambiance is elevated vs regular El Torito. I love their carne asada fajitas great marinade ? they come out sizzling (as they should). This place (ET Grill), their flagship restaurant Las Brisas in Laguna Beach and Javier's has the best carne asada fajitas in OC LA IE area. My understanding is the chef is Peruvian so it's Tex Mex with a Peruvian twist ? The green rice is great! The salsa is great! Even the black beans are great and beans are great and I usually skip beans or order light beans. Fresh made tortillas, fresh made guacamole made at your table. Almost everything here is good.

My friend and I who have lunch here frequently are never disappointed. The food is so delicious, and I always get my favorite tostada salad. My friend tried the salad with shrimp and said it was the best! And the service top notch! Antillo has been our server so often that we consider him a friend. He is efficient, has a great memory of what we like, and has such a fun personality. I would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant it just might turn into a habit for you!

We have been coming to this place since I was a young child and it’s always just the best! The tortillas with the honey butter are out of this world. We looove the happy hour specials. Honestly some of the best deals out there! And I love the corn cake and tomato soup too. My classic order. The flan was also incredible. Some of the best flan we’ve ever had.
