FAMILY. FOOD. TRADITION.

When Larry Cano opened the first El Torito in 1954, he didn’t 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 platters—as well as the best occasions to enjoy them, like Taco Tuesday and Cinco De Mayo.
