                                    Everything is delicious at El Dorado. Their Wagyu carpaccio and paella are the best.

                                    Wonderful experience...love this restaurant. The service, the food and the kind host who understood that my friend was having problems getting to the restaurant bc of traffic. My friend came and we visited for three hours. We only get to see each other once a year and we didn't realize how long we stayed. Daniel who took care of us told us to enjoy our lunch and said no worries about staying so long. I have been here many times and will continue. thank you

                                    My husband enjoyed the short rib hash so much he ate it all and was feeling quite full! It is a large enough portion for two! I had the tuna poke and it was fabulous! Our friend had the burger and loved it. Excellent food, service, and ambiance. We look forward to the next opportunity.

                                    Awesome food and great service. The pork belly app and mussels were world-class. The paella was also fantastic, but could’ve used more shellfish and less salmon (frankly, it would’ve been better if the menu said “salmon”, it just said the dish included “market fish”). That being said, I gave the salmon to my wife and she said it was delicious.

                                    Good food and quiet place but nothing really special. Menu choices somewhat limited to our taste and portions were a bit small.
