El Dorado Mexican Restaurant

sure not what it used to be and apparently I'm not the only one that feels this way because nobody go there anymore. parking lot is completely empty and you have to look twice to see if they're still open for business

When it comes to Mexican food, I'd like to think that I have an experienced palate. From going to Mexico multiple times, to trying every Mexican place in town where I've lived...El Dorado was pretty hyped up with my friends. I wasn't sure how they were going to taste considering the fact that many of the local Mexican places in Utah have the exact same food. However, when planning a trip to El Dorado, you will need to expect the unexpected. Upon seating, you will get the classic chips and salsa but we also got queso and it was sooo good!I'm terrible and done even remember what I ordered but I remember how unique and delicious it was. Typically places just have the typical: enchiladas, tacos, beans, rice, etc. El Dorado offers those but then says "but wait, there's more". The mural on the wall was beautiful, the staff was quick and polite, and the food tasted phenomenal. El Dorado is a total hit!

My daughter and I were looking for a reasonably priced and good Mexican restaurants nearby. We came up on El Dorado and decided to check it out. We ordered the lunch special and picked two chimichangas and a chili relleno and it also came with beans and rice for 15.95. It was a generous portion with actually leftovers after two people shared it. The waitress was very sweet, as well as the bartender. I would go back here.

I love this place! I helped keep it open during the pandemic with my several orders monthly! Last night I went to the Uber eats app. Clicked on el dorado Mexican food and places my order. The delivery came and we were not given any chips or salsa (although we had a large queso) - hmm don't chips always come with fajitas for 2? They always give chips! We eat our weight in chips when we sit in the restaurant- but alas, no chips. The Dilemma ensued - not have chips - or drive up and get them - in the rain we decided on the later - we would make the drive. With no credit card, I walked in and kindly said "we ordered Uber eats and the chips were missing" - I assumed they would say "no or problem no Amiga" a term they often call me when I sit inside and eat - maybe offer me a marg while I wait? But alas...Not so fast! I was met with a very confused look and a very angry scowl "we do not use Uber eats!!!" I replied aghast "here is my receipt - I can still taste the to that I ate on my way here" what do you mean? "WE DO NOT USE UBER EATS! - surely how we at this point this guy would take pity on my rain soaked gaur and simply hand me a bag of those ever so freely given out - chips! Not so fast... wait I said - do not lose my business over a bag of chips" "you can pay for them!" - and he walked away ... I had no way to pay :-( it was freaking bag of chips dude! Not cool

10 out of 10 for service!!!! They are awesome people.We are Looking forward to returning soon. Food was delicious, My personal favorite is the fajitas. Define interest, leches were delightful, and the tortillas were fresh. I was very excited to bring the steak home. The decorations were also beautiful

Finally decided to try El Dorado after hearing about it in the local neighborhood. I decided to grab it to-go and upon arrival of placing my order on the phone and receiving it at the restaurant the staff was friendly. Each order you get a complementary side of chips and salsa. The El Rio was alright, I wasn't too big of a fan of the red Fajita enchilada sauce. The Tres Caminos and la bonita was good. The salsa was a little bit too watered down for me but it was still decent. Not the best Mexican food I've had but it's a good local place in the neighborhood where people can get reasonably priced Mexican food.

I'm always in search of a Tex-Mex joint that reminds me of my 1970s- early 80's childhood -- menus chock full of gooey enchiladas with chili or 'gravy,' tamales, lard-laden beans, and dry rice that absorbs everything that it touches. El Dorado is one of those places.It will never win a James Beard award. Neither with the Houston Chronicle reviewer lady ever walk through the doors here (it's not famous, after all). But the thin 1970s-style red salsa is worthy of being written about in Time magazine ... or at least Texas Monthly. This is the type of salsa that clings to the chip, with some onion and cilantro flavor, and a different level of spiciness with every bowl ... because they blend it daily. Love it!Everything during our visit was fresh. Corn tortillas (and chips) were fresh; enchiladas were gooey; rice was deliciously dry; retried beans were decent. Salt levels were a little high, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. This restaurant is clean, and service on our visit was outstanding. I'm officially a fan of El Dorado Mexican Restaurant.

This is our go to restaurant in the area for Tex-Mex. The service is always excellent and the food is good. Reasonably priced.

Super good food the best I have ever had in my life definitely gonna bring my grandkids and gonna tell my grandkids to bring their kids to this restaurant I want to come here for the rest of my life best food ever I could see myself eating here every day.

The food was mostly decent, but some had to be remade because it was done incorrectly, and the chicken was too dry to eat. Halfway through our meal, the entire staff kept trying to rush us out the door. They badgered us every couple of minutes until we had to ask them to stop, and kept trying to take our plates away while we were still eating. They weren't even busy, so it's not like they were waiting for the table. Overall, not a great experience.
