" This is a great little taco spot! The rolled tacos were phenomenal and tasted just like those from California. The prices are incredibly fair for what you get. However, I must mention that the service was a bit slow during my visit. If you're in the neighborhood, don’t miss out on trying this place. I'll definitely return for another round. " (*Curated Review*)

" DORADO is simply the best for a quick, filling bite! I stopped by on a whim, and I’m so glad I did! The fish tacos are phenomenal—perfectly seasoned and reasonably priced! They have outdoor seating as well, which is a plus during warm days. I always feel satisfied after eating here. A place to keep coming back to. Just remember it can get a bit crowded at lunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, the fish tacos at DORADO are life-changing! I cannot get enough of the crispy batter and fresh toppings. This place is my go-to for quick, cheap eats that still have incredible quality. The only downside is that it can get crowded, so be prepared to wait a little during lunchtime. Totally worth it for that flavor, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" DORADO Tacos offers a solid experience overall, especially if you're after that SoCal vibe. The California burrito is filling and decently done, but I've had better elsewhere. The fish tacos are definitely a highlight. Service, however, can be hit or miss, so be prepared for possibly long waits during peak hours. But if you're in the mood for cheap, good tacos, it's worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at DORADO! The Baja fish taco was the best I've ever had—crispy, flavorful, and so fresh! The atmosphere was lively, and the staff was friendly. While the inside was a bit cramped, the outdoor seating was lovely. I’ll definitely come back for the famous fish taco special on Wednesdays! Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a great lunch here! I ordered the baja fish taco and was blown away by how flavorful it was. The staff was friendly, and even though the place was busy, they kept things moving efficiently. The only downside is the limited seating. I’ll be returning time and again for those fish tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is decent but did not live up to the expectations set by the reviews. The tacos were alright, but I've had better elsewhere. The staff was friendly, which I appreciated, but it was hard to find them when I needed something. I don’t plan to return soon, though I might give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)
