text: This restaurant borders on that precious fine line between hole in the wall and dump The parking lot was atrocious potholes uneven pavement and rocks all over the place We decided to give it a try after locking our doors and taking all of our valuables out of the car nnTo our surprise the manager the young woman with the short hair was welcoming and asked us to sit wherever we liked There was no hosthostess stand so the responsibility of seating fell on whoever was up front We sat near the restrooms which was a mistake for several reasons First our party of was around two uneven tables that were pushed together The tables were missing paint and had scratches throughout In addition the smell of urine from the bathrooms crept around the corner and hovered around us during our entire mealn nOn a positive note the chips and salsa were very good El Torito managed to limit the spice level for those that cannot handle the heat but still deliver on flavor However the entrees that followed were not that great I chose the Chile Verde dinner with rice and beans The pork was shredded and was swimming in grease The dish itself tasted OKbut the grease started overtaking my rice and beans Speaking of rice it was on point There was no sign of vegetables in the rice but it was fluffy and seasoned perfectly On the other hand the beans were a mess I have tasted better beans out of that Rosarita can Do not try and fool me by slopping cheddar cheese over the topthey were still horrible nnMy wife ordered the tacquitos Ewwwwww I took a bit of that chicken tacquito and immediately spit it out Gross nnIf the food was better I would call Guy Fieri and let him know that I found a dive worth checking out However I am leaning more toward shutting this eye sore down and heading the other wayinto Las Vegas for authentic Mexican food nnBTWthey do not make their own tortillas here That is just bad business
