We just moved here from Boston and shocked by the food portion. Titanic portion for the price. Great taste. Love the chicken soup! A little bit difficult for us to understand the waitress's accent but that's not unexpected at a Mexican restaurant.

Before Miss Alabama USA 2022 we went to El Dorado to get some lunch. I wish we all knew how big the portions were, since all places are for 2 people almost, including kids meals. Drinks are also large. And I will say the large margarita, which I ordered myself, is for at least 3 people. I got the chance to try all plates and appetizers. Chips and salsa are amazing, queso was definitely out if this world. Meats were cooked and seasoned deliciously, and I'll say steaks have fat (I love this, some people don't). Kids meals were both good. Fries were large as well but I took the picture too late! The rest of my family ordered 1 bowl of soup that was enough for 4 people to take a small cup, they shared some beef and tortillas as well. 2 plates were enough for 4 people. We all took containers to go and took almost half of the meal home, which was great because we got to have some more later and food really is GOOD. We ordered 11 meals, 6 drinks, 1 small margarita and 1 large margarita and the check was $180, tipped $60 (which was fair enough-) Will definitely come back next year!

Really enjoyed the meal! It was so big I ate a quarter of it. I had a chosen and vegetables dish and the other is a pork dish. Had it all with tortillas to wrap. I wasn't impressed with the guac it was kind of fluffy like it had been whipped. But the rest was really good!

An excellent dining experience even on a busy Friday night college football weekend. High quality food served quickly by their friendly staff. Reasonable prices and large portions. Extensive menu. Definitely try the Mexican guacamole appetizer.

Fast service and the portion sizes are HUGE! We eat here at least once per week and are never disappointed. Table side Guacamole is excellent, and tacos el pastor is my fav dish. The staff are amazing and we always feel welcome and leave way too full. Mateo is the man!
