Today is our double showers day - Bridal Shower for Kim, and Baby shower for Victoria. We headed to El Torito Grill for the celebration (http://www.eltorito.com/).
The place is right across the street from our office- a good short walk during lunch hours. We always have lunch gathering here for Welcome lunch, farewell lunch, as well as showers.
In side is very nice - with Autentic Mexican decro, and open kitchen in the middle. Luckily, we had reservation - no waiting
The bar area is pretty neat- big bull head.
Here comes the bride, Kim. Trendy OC OL (office lady) - she likes Seven & True Religion Jeans as well......
Here is the mother to be, Victoria.
The best thing about El Torito is its free appertizers -fresh made flour tortilas - it came with sweet butter and two type of salsa.
Spread the butter on the hot tortilas, add some salsa, and wrap it....hmmm... yummy
Of course, there is also chip - but most people prefer tortilas
Richard odered the fire-roasted tomato soup, which is one of their award winning soup. It had a sweetness of tomato and the spice taste of the roasted pepper, and I think there is also sweet potato flavor in it. The presentation is good, too
Garden Salad looks good, too
Rena ordered Fish Taco with Rice.....It doesn't look very appetizing - so green... Rena didn't even finish half of it...
Victoria's combination looks really good - Chile Relleno and Grilled Chicken roasted corn enchilada. The fried stuffed pepper seems yummy. The plaste is so colorful.
Mike ordered Shrimp Diabla. Grilled shrimp and veggie skewer, beans and sweet corn cake. It should be good since he finsihed them all
Well, the rest of the group all ordered their famous Fajitas Salad....
The steak came in the sizzling plate, and the waiter tossed the salad by the tableside.
The steak is very tender. The dressing is raspberry tamarind vinaigrette, also have some orange taste in it. They also added some pumkin seed which add some unique texture to each bite.... The rThe portion is just right for lunch.
Time for the gift openning - we got both of them gift cards.
Pictures time... Mike, Grace, Richard
Girls with the Bride (Rena, Kim, and Debra)
The big happy Family...everyone had a big smile beucase this lunch is FREE..... Big Boss in Seattle finally found his heart to pay for everyone's lunch today . The smile would of be even bigger, if we all can have some magarita and don't need to go back to the office.....
