Delicious Mexican dish! The grilled chicken with rice, black beans, and corn tortillas was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The prices are very reasonable, and the service was excellent. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back! Highly recommend!
Chili verde was bland and so were my wife's shrimp tacos . The beans were okay but they kinda had a soapy taste to them but not so bad that we didn't eat them. The good news is the chili relleno was delicious and worth having again. Place is nicely decorated and servers are nice.
We recently tried this new Mexican restaurant and came away thinking it has a lot of potential. The owners did a nice job remodeling the space. It has a clean, upscale feel, although it could use some artwork on the walls to make it feel a little warmer. We also noticed there was no background music playing, which made the dining room feel a bit quiet. Music would have really helped create a better atmosphere. This is definitely more of an upscale Mexican restaurant, and the prices reflect that. I had read other reviews mentioning huge portions, but we didn't find that to be the case. The serving sizes seemed pretty comparable to other Mexican restaurants. The complimentary salsa and queso were both very good. The quesa birria tacos whcih came with 3 not 2 tacos per the menu were flavorful, although I thought they had too much cilantro for my taste. My burrito was decent but fairly average. The shrimp salad was probably the biggest disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked, and the dressing tasted mostly like plain vinegar. One surprise was that both the rice and beans were quite spicy. We weren't expecting that, so it might be worth mentioning on the menu. We ordered two margaritas. The first was excellent, but the second was much sweeter, so there seemed to be some inconsistency in the preparation. Service was good throughout most of the meal, but when it came time to pay the bill, everyone seemed to go MIA. We waited quite a while before we could finally get our check. Overall, I think this restaurant has a lot of potential. It's nice to have an upscale Mexican restaurant in the area. We'll definitely give it a couple more tries and see if they work the kinks out because I think this could become a really great addition to the community. I would have given 3.5 stars but Yelp does not allow that. Hopefully after next visit I can increase the rating.
When you live a good number of years farm to table, in a Mexican household, you grow up on fresh homemade meals that no one can live up to. I have lived in Dublin for 11 years now and do not eat Mexican food here because it's hard to find it non-americanized. I mean there is a small spot I would go to for good Ceviche, but they stopped serving it. Hard to find good flavors throughout. Until, last night. I went to Dublins newest Mexican Tex-Mex restaurant and I was worried. The reviews aren't all amazing. But they do all mostly mention "soft opening", so what are we doin guys! Soft opening is a way for a new establishment to work out the kinks. So leave feedback, not complaints. They have Big beautiful bar, plenty of dining space. Amazing music, not too loud. And very friendly runners, servers and we spoke with the manager twice, I rarely see a management table touch these days. My Feed back: experience starts at the door. Hostess, even though new and some training , biggest notice was, no smiles, quiet and unsure of where they were going. Smile more, you set the tone for how we, the customers, take in our next encounters. Now the food. Flavors, spices, temps, variety- on spot. The menu is not overwhelming, some amazing staple items. I was taken back to my childhood, when things were blissfully delicious. It made me excited to take my next bite. I was literally dancing in my seat. Drinks- Wowlly schmit! So so good.
Love me my Mexican food so of course we had to check this place out. Service was good and quick. Chips were ok some were fresh some were a bit stale. Loved the salsas very good flavor and hint of spice. I ordered the shrimp fajitas. Flavor was good big portion mostly onions wish there was a mix of the veggies too. My fav part was the hand made corn tortillas! Hard to find a place that has that. Very very good. Good amount of shrimp. Just the texture was a bit off maybe a little over cooked. The pastor in the crunchy taco was flavorful. Enchilada had good amount of meat. Would like to come back to try their drinks and see if there is an expansion of the menu. The service was good we didn't have to wait to long for ordering any food or drinks. It was pretty quiet music was good not too loud.
This place is four months old no picture decorations on the wall didn't get a chance to walk around or use the restroom. We did order a chimichanga, some doors and the fajitas combination. Let's start with the waiter he wasn't very attentive. My daughter's water was empty for 10 minutes before he came around to top our water off. Also, I asked for some water with three straws and for some reason we all got straws but mine came with three straws lol the food was average. I'm in no rush to go back I will give it another try maybe in a couple months.
we've been waiting for this place to open for a bit, so we were excited to finally try it! the server was really nice and friendly, and the restaurant itself is really large and spacious with lots of seating. the ambiance is pretty dark and dimly lit. we started with the complimentary chips and salsas, which were okay. we then ordered a quesadilla and chicken fajitas to share. it wasn't too crowded when we went and there was only one worker handling the restaurant, so the food did take a while to come out, but everything tasted good once it did. portion sizes were decent and the prices were pretty reasonable. the chicken in the quesadilla was a little chewy, but the chicken in the fajitas was more flavorful. i also liked the presentation of the rice and beans in the taco bowls, although i wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the refried beans. the fajitas came with 4 tortillas, which was a good amount for sharing. they also have a happy hour menu with some great prices. we got the mexican mule and paloma from it, and both were really good and nicely presented, especially for the price. we also ended up getting the churros, which were definitely the highlight of the meal for me. they were warm and filled, and came with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. there's definitely some room for improvement since this is a newer business, but overall i think it's a good spot if you're looking for an inexpensive mexican restaurant with decent portions.
We decided to give El Dorado a try on a weeknight just a few days after their initial soft opening. The interior was warmly modern and newly renovated although a tad bit plain, perhaps nodding to the final decor yet to come. The staff as welcoming and professionally efficient throughout our visit. We started at a table and were transferred to seating at the bar at the first available opportunity as requested. The bartender was efficient and friendly, checking in on us frequently. We ordered a margaritas and the flautas. The margaritas were spot on, not too sweet. The flautas were perfect, freshly made just perfectly tender soft and crisp. We had a great experience as part of their soft opening and look forward to more great service and delicious food with an expanded menu in the near future!
New up and coming restaurant in Dublin! We enjoyed a nice dinner at El Dorado during their soft opening. The restaurant is very big and clean inside. The vibe is a bit more upscale than other Mexican restaurants in the tri-valley, which is a nice differentiator since we don't have many restaurants like this. For a soft opening, they had a limited menu but it still had a ton of different options. I ordered chicken fajitas and my husband ordered carne asada. We both enjoyed our meals, and felt they were good for the price. I had plenty of fajitas left over for lunch the next day. Service was decent, but with more experience I'm sure it will improve. It was a little slow, but with a huge restaurant and limited servers that's understandable. We'll definitely come back to visit soon!
Soft opening Sunday June 28, 2026 Delicious The red and orange salsas are fire with the warm tortilla chips. We started with the fish ceviche which was my favorite. I had the grilled chicken taco salad and he had the shredded beef wet burrito. The rice and beans were flavorful and memorable. The grilled chicken was seasoned well. Quality ingredients with queso fresco and the guacamole was super fresh. We need to come back and try the crispy tacos. Please keep up the service and food quality.
Stopped by El Dorado's for happy hour and really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. We went pretty early, so getting a table was easy. The portions were also huge! The three of us barely made a dent in what we ordered (although we are light eaters ). Definitely felt like we got a lot of bang for our buck!
I recently visited this brand new restaurant in Dublin with my family during their soft opening! We really enjoyed our time here from the moment we stepped in. The young hostess was very sweet and brought us to our table, At our table our server was very fun and talkative. He made the experience memorable, he was also very knowledgeable about the food and drinks available. It felt like the kind of local restaurant you want to come back to because of the warm and kind people who work there. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, I like how they were able to take some of the elements of the former restaurant who held this space and make it into their own. The way they painted the walls and decorated the place brightened it up in a happy and inviting way with nods to Mexican culture. I love how it is decorated! As for the food and drinks, they were tasty. We all each enjoyed our dishes and drinks! The food was very fresh and you could tell from the looks/taste of the food. The drinks were wonderful too, our waiter even joked that he had brought my Paloma out in a pretty cup just for me. I definitely recommend this place and would love to come back! I heard from our waiter they might have live music in the future!
We've been hearing great things about El Dorado. So we wanted to check it out on a Monday. To save you the read, we will definitely be back. I really enjoyed everything we ordered. The hostess was very kind and asked if we were ok with our table as the setting sun was shining in. There were plenty of items on the menu that sounded good. Always a nice problem to have! The kids menu prices were $10 or under, which we always appreciate. The kids drinks were about $2.50. We started with the table side guac. It was really good, limey, like we like it & a rough smash. We opted for no jalapeños. My husband got the super wet burrito with shredded beef. It was huge! Price was $18. The beef was very flavorful. I got the enchiladas Suizas - one cheese & one chicken. It was topped with the sauce, avocado slices, and a drizzle of crème fresh. I really enjoyed it. Kids meals we rested: - pastor taco with lettuce added, no beans. - Dino nuggets & fries. My daughter doesn't love Dino nuggets, she's prefer tenders. But, it would be nice if she actually ordered a taco or quesadilla at a Mexican restaurant! That's just her issue. Not the restaurant's. The restaurant & restrooms were very clean. The booths were roomy & comfortable for our family of 4. When I go back, I already know, I'm Getting the Mole.
Reviews are mixed. Many praise the friendly attentive service, clean modern atmosphere, and good margaritas and drinks. Portions are often generous.

Overall I give it 8/10. We decided to have a late lunch and showed up at 3:30pm. Just in time for Happy Hour. Drinks only on the happy hour menu, but $6.99 for a delicious classic margarita is right down my alley. Food is a little pricey but here is what we thought: Chips 6/10 - waitress said they are made in-house but they were a little hard to chew Salsa 7/10 - the orange salsa is habanero and the red sauce is a little watered down. They are both flavorful and pretty spicy just like I like them. Guacamole 7/10 - the little tostadas that came with it are homemade and so delicious. The guac good I use cilantro. Quesobirria Tacos 8/10 Chili Relleno 8/10 Chilé Colorado 9/10 Rice and beans 7/10 Margaritas 10/10 Corn tortillas are made in-house but the flour tortillas are not. Restaurant still in soft opening so I will give them time to enhance their plates. I think they could be great! Add cilantro for freshness and the taste of some of the plates would be excellent! read more
El Dorado Modern Mexican Kitchen and Cantina - Dublin, CAMy wife and I visited El Dorado Modern Mexican Kitchen and Cantina this evening, just three weeks after they officially opened. We were excited to try a new modern Mexican spot in Dublin and overall had a mixed experience.We started with the standard chips and salsas (both green and red). The salsas were decent but nothing special, while the chips were unfortunately stale. The Calamari appetizer ($17.99) was nicely prepared and cooked well, but we felt it was overpriced for the portion size and probably wouldn't order it again.For our mains, my wife ordered the beef tostada with rice and beans on the side. She really enjoyed the tostada and said the rice was good, but the beans were quite watery. I went with the Mexican Salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was tasty and well-seasoned, and I appreciated the other fresh vegetables included. However, the lettuce pieces were far too large (clearly not chopped properly), and the salad came with very little dressing. It took quite a while to flag down our waiter for more dressing.Service was the biggest issue this visit. It was very slow overall, our drinks took a long time to arrive, and we had to remind the waiter multiple times. Given that they've only been open a few weeks, I understand they're still working through some growing pains and a learning curve.We'll definitely give them another try in about a month to see how things have improved. There's clear potential here, especially with some of the dishes we enjoyed, but several areas (kitchen execution on basics, portion/pricing balance, and service flow) need attention, particularly in a competitive market like Dublin.Would I return? Probably, but with tempered expectations for now. read more

So excited for a restaurant like this in Dublin!!!! Service is amazing and the place has a cool atmosphere. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa, so you know it's going to be good. Margaritas are delicious and enchiladas hit the spot. Definitely recommend for a meal out with friends or family!! read more

The food here was delicious! The quality and variety was top notch. I ordered the enchiladas Souza and not only did they list a wide range of meat options, when I said chicken they said grilled or shredded? I love the added flavor of grilled meats and chose that. It was served with fresh avocado slices on top. Their rice and beans were outstanding. Especially the refried beans. They tasted fresh and flavorful - had to be made on site. Hubby ordered a burrito and it was fabulous too. Their margaritas fresh and flavorful and the service was great. They do need to add a little to their decor but the food was so so good! We love Mexican and were lost when On the Border closed. This is our new favorite! read more

The only highlight here was the Spanish rice--it actually had great flavor, which is surprisingly hard to find. Unfortunately, everything else fell flat. The beans tasted straight out of a can, and the steak was overcooked and aggressively salty--so much so that I couldn't even finish it. To top it off, despite advertising fresh handmade tortillas, what I received were paper-thin, store-bought tortillas that weren't even properly cooked. They felt like they'd just been tossed in a microwave in a stack to warm up, leaving them bland and gummy. Between the lack of quality and misleading menu claims, I won't be coming back. read more

We are excited to have a new restaurant in Dublin. Love the ambiance. Our first visit was shortly after they opened. The food is good. Everyone is nice. I asked for shedded beef and ended up getting chicken . I asked for a dinner and I received an appetizer. It was ok though. The food was good. The second visit We walked in at 5:pm and no one was there. We took a seat and waiting about 5 min for the host. We sat down and ordered margaritas and they were amazing. The bar tender is good. We ordered our food. The food came but we had no silverware or napkins. The waitress was ok, she had way too much perfume on. I felt like I could taste it. When she brought the bill to me , it was very rushed. I wanted to do the survey and she said no that's ok and grabbed the device. read more

This Mexican restaurant is open with a soft launch. We were so excited that this long awaited restaurant is open. We saw a post on Nextdoor that it was open & food was good. The interior is new & simple with terracotta colored walls. There were 2 seating areas one by the bar & other quieter side on the right. We choose the bar area since it was lively with people watching World Cup. We ordered the classic margarita & palomrita for drinks, Both were great well balanced & not too sweet. They gave us complimentary chips & two salsa which were very good, one hot & one mild. Nice thin chips as well. I ordered a crispy taco with rice & beans. My husband ordered cheese enchiladas with rice & beans. The cheese enchiladas were not on the menu, but they made it for us which was very nice. We really enjoyed the enchiladas, sauce was very tasty & rice & beans were good too. My taco was good, but I think I would try something else next time. I can't wait to go back & try more new things. The service was excellent as well, with a very friendly staff from start to finish. They may need a little more work on the decor cause it looks a bit plain, but that's minor. We walked in saw a happy hour sign so will definitely be back for that & the bar is huge & lively. Definitely give them a try. It's gonna be a regular spot for me.

Our food wasn't as hot as I prefer but the it was very flavorful. Only took pic of one dish but we ordered mixed fajitas, combo plate with shredded beef taco and an enchilada, and also had the carne asada. Especially liked the shredded beef, it was tasty and tender. Thought the mixed fajitas would come with each meat in three separate rows but it was actually all 3 meats mixed together like a stir fry but it tasted really good. The flour tortillas didn't seem like they were house-made but the corn tortillas were. Also felt like they could have used a little salt. Overall I liked the restaurant, our waiter was nice, the decor could use some work but will definitely go back to try some other dishes. read more
