They are old and tired, their menu is horrible and El Torito fells like a trip in time - all is old and needs to be renovated. The quality of food is bad.
It's just a matter of time when the whole house of card collapses and El Torito goes bankrupt - that's my opinion, I have no other info aside from my opinion.
Well, You called it....a year later. They filed bankruptcy. Just a matter of time before the whole $hit $how closes down.
You are so correct, its old school dining and needs to change with the times, or call it a day.
As long as a year ago, I advised the manager of the El Torito in Rohnert park that their food lacked the quality to stay ahead of the business. Sunday brunch fell into a sorry state with poor food selections. Nothing was presented that you couldn't find on a local food stand. They raised the pice to $16.95 without raising the quality.
Their carnitas consisted of boiled fatty pork. Not surprised with the failure.
