"I forgot to take pictures of the food, but this place is my absolute favorite mexican restaurant in San Leandro. The food is really good and you get good portions here, but whenever I've gone, there's usually a bit of a wait time around dinner time. Iwent on a Saturday closer to maybe 4 or 5pm and the wait time to get seated was between 40-50 mins, but it's so worth it for thefood. There are trails where you can walk around while you wait too, but it's cool because the bay is right there and it's justa nice area overall. My family and I have been coming here for years and it has never disappointed us!"

The bathroom was nasty and the flooring dated. The service was lacking.

We booked for our anniversary and requested a window seat to watch the sunset. The drinks were delicious.
Lisa
We were happy to find an El Torito restaurant as we missed them. The food is delicious and we love the pepito-cilantro dressing
Opentable
We came on Thursday around 5pm and it wasn’t busy. We sat at the bar area to enjoy the happy hour. We enjoyed our food and drinks. They opened the door at the back and able to see the ocean view. View menu

Had a great meal. There was no hostess at the front so I couldn’t check in for my reservation but my cousin got there first so I just sat with him after waiting over 5 minutes for hostess to return. Food was great and service was good.

This is a hidden gem tucked on the edge of a residential neighborhood. Took my Aunt for an outing and sat next to the window overlooking the Bay. Shared a huge fajita order which was filling and affordable. Great experience and a wonderful find.
Sylvia
The team was amazing, the room was warm and they adjusted the AC for us. We were celebrating my daughter’s bday about 20 family members. The food and drinks were great. I cannot emphasize how great the staff was and attentive they were. Definitely will plan again. View menu

The food here… to DIE for! We shared the fajitas with steak and shrimp and it was delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing. The only issues we experienced was that it was insanely hot in the restaurant. We asked for a window table and there was one available however it was in direct sunlight. We had to ask to sit at a different table which was better, but, the restaurant itself was humid so they had to open doors to cool it off. We will be coming back, but maybe when it starts to get cooler out.

We had seen the reviews and weren't expecting much, to be honest, but we ended up being very surprised. Our server was great, the chips and salsa were flowing (and really good), the margaritas were pretty good (tad too sweet for me, but perfect for mygirl), our spinach enchiladas were stuffed with lots of well cooked spinach, and the flautas were some of the best we've had ina while, which we really didn't expect. The queso wasn't awesome, but it wasn't bad, either. Their happy hour prices are prettygood, too. We will be back here soon.
