El Torito

Founded in 1954 in Encino, California, El Torito has been a pioneer in the California full service Mexican casual dining restaurant segment. Leveraging more than 50 years of operational experience, El Torito is currently the largest Mexican restaurant brand in California in terms of number of restaurants. Designed to replicate authentic cooking found in a traditional Mexican hacienda, the concept focuses on using fresh, high-quality ingredients to prepare made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine. A staple of El Torito's menu, and an example of the Company's commitment to freshness, is the popular made-from-scratch tableside guacamole that is prepared according to the guests' specifications. Located predominantly in Southern California, the concept offers lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.
