                                    The paella was the highlight of the meal! It was flavorful, well-seasoned, and made with fresh ingredients. The rice had a nice texture, and the seafood was cooked just right. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a well-prepared meal, especially if you’re a fan of paella.

                                    We love eating at El Dorado Kitchen / service is always great. We have never eaten in the front room - it was good but very warm - I mentioned this to the hostess and the server (who was sweating) Food was good - would have loved the tostada more if it was more chicken breast and less thigh meat.
