We have an annual multi-day trip to the DLR area coming up and part of that trip includes a dinner at El Torito at Katella and State College.

Recently a friend reported that she tried to meet someone there and it was closed and torn down. Then she was a little confused about the cross-streets so we wondered if she just went to the wrong intersection.

Does anyone know if the El Torito at Katella and State College is still there or was it torn down?

There's an El Torito on Harbor and Orangethorpe next to the In-n-Out in Fullerton......don't know about the other one.

I don't know about that one, but I remember passing one on Ball Road east of the resort

I do recall the Katella/State College one being closed (as well as the Charlie Brown's behind it - RIP) but yes, I think there is still one at Ball & St. College open, next to the Benihana.

Thanks! We were looking for the Charlie Brown's!!! We ate there once and wanted to go back this last trip for steaks.

We thought we were nutty when we couldn't find it! Mystery solved. :)

The El Torito you used to visit is indeed torn down.................as well as the office buildings that were behind it. Apprently something new is on the way.

Thanks for the scoop, spectroman and magic 19. You know, I pass that one on Ball every time we go to the park but it didn't even dawn on me to say: Oh, we can go to the one on Ball instead!

Yes, the El Torito across from the best Denny's ever is completely gone, but there's another approximately two blocks away on State College and Ball Rd.
