Service was so horrible. They had to take the food back a bunch of times because I got it wrong. There was an Ant in one of the drinks.
El Torito - PalmdaleResponded on July 26, 2026
We’re very sorry your visit was so disappointing. We regret the poor service, the need to send food back multiple times, and especially the ant in your drink. That is not the experience we want for our guests. Please contact the restaurant at (661) 274-4502 and ask for Antonio Casas so we can learn more about what happened. Thank you for letting us know.

Brunch is good with a good selection of food. A lot better if you set a reservation as the waiting area is extremely small

The food was definitely great. I ordered a dish that was recommended by the waiter. Spinach enchiladas I believe. I will definitely go back and order it again. I ate every piece of it. Ambiance was good. We had a great dinner over all.

We had a great Easter Brunch. We always request Jo because she takes good care of us. We love going because the buffet always has so many selections including their kids area for our little ones.

If you don't want to stress, cook or clean this is the place to be. The buffet food was decently good and had PLENTY of options. Have been to the brunch buffet a couple of times and it never disappoints. It is pricey for bigger families, but imo worth it. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS. Especially for bigger parties.
