What more perfect food than a Burrito - tons of goodness and spices all wrapped in a portable "sandwich" - or add sauce and make it a plate meal.
So, on the search for the best Burrito and the best place to eat, El Torito really comes out high on the list.
First - they make several burrito varieties, but for me the Vegetarian Burrito is all important. In all of the Rockford and Belvidere area, I have only found two better burrito's and one is not in a sit-down location and the other is in a relatively higher priced Tex-Mex fusion type place.
El Torito provides an excellently prepared vegetarian burrito in a nice, clean, sit-down atmosphere and provides excellent service. The chef / cook personally prepares them and if the restaurant is not too busy, he follows up on his service by ensuring the customers are happy with his food - this is a service normally only available in 4 and 5 star restaurants.
I would say it is the best place to eat a Vegetarian Burrito in the area, but they do not serve alcohol, so it becomes a toss-up with places with higher prices and alcohol on the menu. If I could get a Beer here, I would put them at the top of my list.
