        Best view of any mexican restaurant in the area. Get a window seat! Perched out on the water. Great food, and a great setting.

        General Info
        When Larry Cano opened the first El Torito in 1954, he didnt simply transform a rundown tiki bar into a bustling Mexican restaurant, he launched a revolution. Legend has it that El Torito was seminal in popularizing Mexican restaurant staples like the frozen margarita, tableside guacamole and sizzling fajita plattersas well as the best occasions to enjoy them, like Taco Tuesday and Cinco De Mayo.
