Not a fan of their food, but their drinks? Another story.

El Torito claims to serve authentic Mexican food, but ask any Mexican for their opinion, and they'll pretty much laugh in your face. While the restaurant does serve huge platters, many of their ingredients and choices are not authentic. Besides, most of it is overpriced, anyways.

There is one big "but," however: their drinks! They have really good deals on everything, especially their Margaritas, which come with as much Tequila as you could possibly want. You can mix flavors and even order a pitcher to save money.

Now that, my fellow Lunchers, is a reason to go there. But just make sure you eat somewhere else before you order the pitcher, as I always do.

What did you think of this review?

Enjoy El Torito if you have one- we lost all of ours in our region and wish we had gone there more before they disappeared!
