Kitchen thought I was not goin to noticed the difference? Waiter service was just bad, no personality of what so ever. Mr. TEMPO I followed you on social media You predict awasome service, top of the best, you’re manager just passed by all tables, no greeting no connection. Waiter was having a great time with other guest leaning on table and having a great conversation. Never came back to check on us. We were helped out by ur busboy. Yes tip was was given I did not take pictures of eaten food. To proof this. Tempo get on top of this Brea At end waiter noticed we are not pleased, bring cart of churros for inconvenience. Was charge enchiladas with pollo plus $7.00 for shrimp."

"Keeping for a quick lunch on our anniversary and what a surprising pleasure in great food and customer service. We ordered street maisfries, wings, corn dogs and a southwestern fried chicken salad and all tasted great. We will definitely come back to a feast. They even treated us with garlic chips as welcome to eat here for the first time."

"This is my first review on any food place in a LONG time because honestly too lazy to write a review. BUUUT this place was awesome. Our waiter Pedro was on top of it. Very attentive, we never had an empty glass. He recommended excellent drinks was very thorough with explaining some menu items since it was our first time. my husband had the al pastor tacos and i had the la burger and it was delicious. We shared both and both were beyond expectation. Very flavorful. The environment was nice with dim lighting and good music. It was a great date night. Im excited for our next visit."

"eating is always excellent and the staff very friendly. this time I think they might have been a bit short for an unusually busy Monday night, making the food delivery a bit slow. except that it's one of our favorite restaurants."

"This place has me HOOKED. I kid you not these are THE BEST WINGS I HAVE EVER HAD. These wings are covered in crack and they are so addicting. I don't remember the name of the flavor but YOU NEED TO ORDER THEIR SPECIAL FLAVOR. These wings literally got me oozing ranch out the sides of my mouth. Aside from my favorite dish if it weren't obvious, everything else was suppper good. The cheese bread was okay and was slightly on the more underdone side. I recommend ordering the mahi mahi plate because they season their fish to perfection. Me and my friends were celebrating our friends 21st and we all ordered our own margarita and they are HUGEEEE!!!! I recommend the mango one if you like it strong and the watermelon if you like it more on the sweeter side. Definitely coming back for the scrumptious wings. Never going back to wingstop after eating here."

"Dads birthday....food was decent needed a little more of a variety for a brunch menu, not vegan friendly. Service wasn’t great, took a while for the food when it did come out it was all separate so we had to wait for done of our items. Waiter was cool though, gave my dad a special birthday drink."

"I've always loved this restaurant. Food was great as usual, but noticed prices went WAY up. A slice of cheesecake is now just under $10.00....a slice! I feel I need a six figure income just to eat here now. Will have to save CCF for special occasions vs a regular meal."

"If someone was to ask me who is the epitome of a great server I would say watch Antillo ! My friend and I have had Antillo for our server nearly every time we have dined at El Torito. He is amazing he remembers what we like to drink and eat and never misses a beat! In my opion, Antillo is restaurant manager ready! That is...if he could still be our server too!!!"

"The food is really high quality for a counter serve restaurant, but is priced accordingly. I choose to eat here over other sit down restaurants in the same price range because the options are both nutritious and delicious. The service fee added to each check pays employee health benefits. Happy to see they take care of their employees. For the most part the service is above average. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but it does not stop me from returning. The website for ordering take out is a bit finicky, but much cheaper than ordering through third parties.Parking: Parking after work can be a but trickier, especially when Core Power Yoga has classes, but otherwise it's easy to park.Dietary restrictions: Easy to eat here if you are eating keto or low carb. If you do take out, just be sure to check your order before you leave."

"Cute little healthy restaurant inside a retail plaza that used to have a Vons before it closed down. This place is somewhat of a gem as not many around like this when you are craving a clean organic grain bowl or paleo/keto entree made of fresh ingredients! They have poke bowls, build your own bowls, and have many diet specific options. If you're Paleo or Keto enthusiasts. I got the chimichurri bowl and opted for salmon as my protein since they use wild salmon. Too many places use farmed salmon, so gotta ask if that's important to you. They confirmed it. I was a first customer, so the cashier offered me a free drink, which I got the mint lemonade. It tasted pretty godo at first, but it seems like they used a nonsugar sweetener, and it left an odd aftertaste. It tasted extra sweet but in an odd way. I watered it down, but it was still too sweet or weird tasting. It's a popular drink, but I wasn't a fan. I have one criticism. I got cilantro brown rice in my bowl, but it just tasted like plain brown rice?! I didn't want to make a fuss, so I kept it as is. Another thing is there were dried up rice grains in my portion of rice. The kind of dry that occurs when you have rice exposed to open air for a certain amount of time and it loses all moisture. These grains got dehydrated. They were in my bowl. I had to spit them out. I get it. It was the end of the evening close to closing time, but it's still not okay. I can be understanding and still share what happened. I would have said something, but it was nearing closing time. I should have. Anyway, i still like the place and will return. I hope that doesn't happen again, and if so, I'll nicely notify them and get it corrected. The place has a really cute bench patio for diners. I sat outside. They had hanging mini lights that created a relaxing, quiet mood. I liked it and will def come back! They have many green and superfood options. Vegan and vegetarian friendly."

"My wife and I had a wonderful impromptu date night at this establishment. We did not have a reservation and were seated promptly but I think that was just luck. I highly recommend a reservation because they were busy. They also have some phenomenal specials for the weekends that make it very affordable. The sauce was excellent and the broccoli was perfect. We had some drinks that were expertly mixed and our waitress was friendly fast efficient and funny. A wonderful evening, 5 out of 5 would recommend."

"I got the tropical bowl as I wanted to try an açaí bowl for the first time and wow was I blown away. Also the customer service is extremely sweet and assisted me throughout the transaction. Not like I was confused but they had my order ready and all I had to do was to pickup my order pay. Sweet simple, just like the bowl! Thank you!!!"

"A large menu with a lot of variety. You can sit at the sushi bar or get a table. Our favorite is the 3 item combo dinner for around $15. You pick 3 entrees and it also comes with salad and rice and miso soup. Their tempura is always a good choice. The owner usually walks around to make sure his guests are satisfied."

"What a great jewel we found. Hidden but we found it and the food didn't disappoint. Tasted like homemade. The salsa was great and spicy enough. I was surprised with the homemade tortillas to go with my eggs and cactus . Well be back to taste the tacos with their homemade tortillas. A must place to eat authentic Mexican food."

"Search for a place near Brea Mall with a good experience and happened on this place! The experience was really great overall with a beautiful interior and great staff! The food was absolutely delicious! It was the best vegetable fried rice I ever had and for a great price and good portions! We also tried for heaven's sake what I understand the wish, but not for me! Also ordered a mixed drink that was delicious! Great place definitely worth the time and money."

"Went to Toast upon looking for a brunch place for visiting family. I made a reservation which is highly recommended as this place was busy by 1030am on a Saturday. Food was good all around. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the yolk was perfectly runny which is how I like it. I ordered the Moscow Mule which was beautifully presented. Service was excellent and overall atmosphere was nice. The place is spacious with ample parking. Make a reservation and you will have a better experience. Highly recommend!"

"Had lunch here recently. The food was great, the customer service was also good. Helios was our bartender server. He was patient and gave great recommendations. We ordered the Chilean sea bass with carb-free substitutions (padded Brussels Sprudels). The taste was good. The sauce really did the meal. We also had The Rainbow Salat, Clam Chowder an order of the wings as well as 3 shots and 3 cocktails (it was happy hour! . There were no complaints about the salad, but my companion shaved over the Chowder. The wings were not baked and cooked well, as I like. The food was good, but the portions were not great. After we paid (about $184, Helios said he'd check in on us. Later we decided to order another round of drinks. We realized that we didn't really need the drinks, so we were looking for Helios to cancel the order if the drinks were not yet made. We asked another waitress who could talk to someone. A few minutes later he still returned to answer the question, so we decided to go and let him know how we came by. He seemed to talk to a manager so we could just know and leave him. He gave an explanation, but it wasn't a big deal and we were ready to go. I would still recommend returning for a light meal in the future."
