" My family decided to try El Dorado for dinner this weekend, and honestly, it was just okay. While the portions were large and the service was friendly, the actual food left much to be desired. My burrito was filled with bland fillings and the guacamole tasted like it was made a day ago. It’s a shame because we were looking forward to having authentic Mexican food. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my birthday dinner at El Dorado. I was really disappointed with the food. Everything was overcooked and the flavors were off. My friends all left food on their plates. The only positive was that the server was very friendly and attentive. It's unfortunate because I was so looking forward to this dinner. I wouldn't recommend it for celebrations.

" I love El Dorado! It's a family favorite! My kids adore the cheese quesadillas, and the guacamole is homemade and delicious. The staff is always so friendly, and even when it's busy, they manage to serve you with a smile. While the menu might not be super authentic, the flavors are rich and satisfying. Great for a casual family night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon El Dorado on our way back from a long trip, and I’m so glad we did! The staff welcomed us with big smiles, and the food was fresh and flavorful! I had the tacos al pastor, and they were delicious. The portions were so huge that I had to take half of them home. I recommend it for anyone looking for a solid meal on the go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about El Dorado. I was very excited after seeing their vast menu and beautiful decor. However, after trying the carne asada, I felt it tasted like it was cooked with way too much salt and it was actually quite tough. Thankfully, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful, which I appreciate. The service was attentive but the meal left me wanting more. If they can improve the main dishes, I would happily come back!

" What a delightful surprise! I found this gem during a family outing. Everything we ordered was delightful, especially the salmon tacos! The flavors were spot on, and everything was fresh. Did I mention the portion sizes? You definitely get your money's worth! The only minor issue was the service; our waiter was a tad slow, but his friendly demeanor made up for it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had a great experience at El Dorado! The food was fabulous, especially the carne asada, which melted in my mouth! Their portions are generous, and the prices reasonable. Though I did think the service could be improved as we waited quite a bit for our drinks, the overall vibe was very warm and inviting. I definitely look forward to my next visit!
