" Cantina El Dorado has quickly become one of my favorite places to grab some authentic Mexican food! I had the carnitas tacos and they were fantastic—definitely worth the wait. Service was friendly even with the place being super busy. Cannot recommend this place highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for a casual night with friends, and we certainly enjoyed our time at Cantina El Dorado! The margaritas were fantastic, and I tried the carne asada fries which were delicious! However, the service could have been swifter. Overall, I would still recommend it for the food and atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a nice little spot! I went with my family, and the atmosphere was perfect for a cozy dinner. We shared a few dishes and enjoyed everything from the quesadillas to the enchiladas. The only complaint is that there was a bit of a wait for a table even though it was during the week. Other than that, we had a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a special occasion at Cantina El Dorado and it was a delightful experience. The server was friendly and well-informed about the menu. Although the enchiladas were tasty, it was the wings that stole the show for me—such great flavor! The atmosphere was festive and everyone at the table had a great time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Cantina El Dorado. The ambiance was lively, and I truly liked the decor. However, my food arrived lukewarm and was not as flavorful as I anticipated. The server was friendly, but our orders seemed to get mixed up. I appreciate the efforts they put into their menu, but a bit more attention to detail would elevate the experience next time.

Our waiter Eduardo made great recommendations and was super attentive. Overall, we had a fantastic family dinner, and I can't wait to return for a girls' night out! " (*Curated Review*)
