Chicken Milanese - panko breaded, grilled chicken topped with arugula salad and habanero lime dressing.  $20.00







This is located on the bottom of the menu that a lot of people do not notice.


On May 10, 2019 at 2:10 pm we entered El Torito Grill to have lunch.  Karina was our host and David was our server.

We selected from the chef's special that date the Chicken Milanese - panko breaded, grilled chicken topped with arugula salad and habanero lime dressing. 

Milanese is Italian cookery (meats especially) that is coated with bread crumbs or flour and browned in butter or hot oil with a sauce of tomatoes, mushrooms shredded meat, grated cheese and truffles.  

The chicken was a bit bland and could have used some more seasoning.  The salad was a salad and the lime dressing was okay.    

David was very gracious and tried to make my experience more enjoyable.  

I noticed on the check there is a 3% surcharge that is included on all guest checks.  I ask to speak with the manager who replied that the surcharge is added to offset the increased labor costs.  Enough said.  

You would like the atmosphere and the servers. It has a comfortable feeling with a modern design.  You will linger because of the servers and the people who are sitting next to you or in front of you because of the conversations that just start up.  It is a fun place. 

Would I return?  Things that make you go umm.
