The Cantina by El Dorado

We ate here about a year or so ago and absolutely loved it! I forgot the name of the place and just happened to drive pass it on our recent visit and just had to eat here again. It was not the same and it was actually a disappointment! We had reservations. We arrived and no one was there at the door/hostesses table to greet us. Finally the bust person walked over and said do you have reservations and we said yes and he said ok and led us to a booth. Never asked our names to verify. My husband sat down. I went to the bathroom came back out and no one had been to the table. We waited and the same buss person finally brought us menus, chips, and salsa. After waiting some time our waitress comes over and introduce herself and apologized for the wait. We order and food comes out pretty fast. My order was wrong. I ordered quesadillas with chicken. I had no chicken. Took a minute to flag her down and she took it back. Looks like instead of making it over they just stuffed some chicken inside. I didn't like it at all. Lastly, they no longer serve fried ice cream! One of the other reasons I wanted to come back as well. This will no longer be on our Vegas list after finding it again.

Always have a great time here. We love the lobster tacos & guacamole but all the food is amazing! We had an awesome bartender, Kasha, who took care of our drinks and was a lot of fun. The jukebox is always going and the atmosphere is casual and fun!

We had such a lovely time. Our waitress was amazing offering suggestions from the menu. She was super enthusiastic and sweet. I'm embarrassed to say how long we were there but suffice it to say it was later than I have ever stayed at a food establishment. That said we never felt rushed. The food was so good! The menu selection was not filled with the same ole same ole. It was fresh and was delivered hot and was so tasty I am already thinking about returning!

We looked forward to having lunch here after seeing all the social media posts. Unfortunately, when we got there NO one helped us. There was only 1 table with a few people on it in the restaurant and only 2 people at the bar. Since there were no workers to be found in the restaurant. We sat ourselves (finally saw the sign to seat yourself), still no one came out to greet us or take our order for at least 10mins. Then another group of people walked in and sat themselves. We ended up walking out. The other group also walked out as well. Extremely disappointed and will never go back.

Took forever to bring our food or even have us seated when it was empty. She didn’t even replace our drinks after waiting for 30 minutes. We had to keep asking her and reminding her to bring it back. Terrible service.

Good food. Our first server was amazing! She left, and the actual server we got was shockingly bad. We would have ordered more otherwise.

Made a reservation, staff was surprised. Had to wait for open tables to be cleaned. I have a shellfish allergy and asked what I could eat from their appetizers menu, all foods fried with shellfish so I was unable to eat their chips and salsa or any appetizers from their menu. Order three tacos, two pork and one chicken. When the food delivered I received two steak and one chicken, we had to ask for silverware, and our drinks more than once. I've eaten multiple times at their other two locations and have never experienced such bad service or lack thereof. I had hoped their location closest to my house would allow for me to visit their establishment more often, however not being able to enjoy half their menu due to only having one deep fryer and terrible service I will spend my money elsewhere.

Nachos were great & huge portion, even without adding protein.

food was great

Always going to recommend the green pozole or the birria tacos (: one of my favorite Mexican places to eat at!! The flan is by far one of the best I had. It is a little pricey for Mexican food but the quality of the food makes it worth it for a once in a while meal![

Delicious pitcher of margarita made by the graveyard bartender on Saturday night. We also had chips and salsa which really hit the spot. I will be back for bottomless mimosas and bloody mary's 😍 new loyal customer here

The food and drinks were great. Happy hour made prices even better. Items are a little on the hot spices side (just a warning, not in a bad way).
