I've been to El Dorado twice in the past few weeks & I would highly recommend it!! Both times, I was greeted with a friendly welcome and immediately seated. It was fairly busy, but the tables were clean--the whole restaurant appeared to be very clean and the atmosphere was relaxed & pleasant. My server was Leticia--the first time was by chance & on my second visit, I asked to be seated in her section. Leticia was so kind, patient, & helpful; she made me feel welcome & didn't rush me to place my orders. She checked back on me often enough, but not so much as to interrupt my meal. Additionally, she was very proactive--always bringing napkins or a drink refill before I had to ask her. I had the complimentary chips & salsa, chicken enchiladas, and beef tamales. Everything was excellent and you certainly can't beat their prices. I was amazed that I could get such delicious meals for such a reasonable price! If you haven't been to El Dorado, yet, and you're a fan of authentic Mexican food, you've got to try this place!!

El Dorado is my favorite Mexican restaurant! They serve freshly made tortillas and salsa, and if you're not careful, you could fill up on that. Luckily the food comes out quickly. Be careful though because the meals come out so hot (temperature) that you could burn your mouth. I have never had a a bad meal in over 30 years of eating here. The service is always cheerful and polite. Another great thing about this place is that the prices are always reasonable. El Dorado is my family's go to for comfort food especially when the budget is tight! We love El Dorado!!

Been coming here since I was a child but I cant any longer. This location really should close. From rude, incompetent and straight up disrespectful staff, to 15 people waiting at the checkout to leave. I just sat at the bar for 10 minutes to be glanced at by servers. They will scan your card for an order that wasn’t yours then laugh in your face about it, serve cold food and ignore you outright. Avoid at all costs!

The absolute worst food and service I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The waiter was so rude We will never be back. How are y’all still open. Went to lunch with a friend and was rushed out because he was going on break.

Great food great prices just don't be in a hurry. The staff they have are amazing but it's obvious they are short, if you are in a lunch hurry ask for a bill when you order and it's like a drive thru but with real food.

A hidden jewel eatery. I had a non-alcoholic Pina Colada with a splash of strawberry and it was amazing. Miguel my server was nice and food was served quickly. You get a lot of food for the price. I got the Taco Bowl with chicken. It was fresh and so delicious. The bowl is editable and just melts in your mouth. I would definitely go back and try more items. This place does get busy, but worth the wait. Prices are very reasonable.
