They tried it in Texas, but nobody believed them. It's also the name of a CD-ROM boot standard that was hacked out on the back of an envelope by a group of people eating at El Torito one evening. The standard is in keeping with the restuarant. Sorry I don't know anything about how to determine whether the BIOS confirms, unless the documentation mentions it (CD-ROM boot is currently always El Torito).
