For the first day of festivities this week, after a day of toil over testing while the leads were subjected to scrum, we kicked off the festivities with an eving after work at the El Torito Mexican Grill out at San Leandro Marina. There’s something to be said for a Mexican happy hour
While some choose an English pub, El Torito is the place to go for a perfect evening of gayity and eats. There’s something for everyone in their Americanized Mexican menu. You’ll find both soft and crispy tacos and even a full-shell tostada. The best part is the atmosphere, with private room for big parties and a beautiful varanda for a solo, sunset dinner. (4 stars)

Unfortunately, the only downside is their lack of accessibility. There’s no ramp evident to the lower area and private room. Nor is there any alternative formats for the menu besides the website (if you can read it there). Fortunately the staff is friendly and helpful. (3 hands)
