Buffalo chicken nachos! Very good!
Patrick H.

Never had this before, but glad we stopped in! Really good Mexican food! The place was pretty busy, but our food got to us fairly quickly. The only complaint any of us had was our drinks were pretty slow getting to us. It appeared our server had more tables than he could easily handle. It's ok though, he did the best he could. My wife and I shared the buffalo chicken nachos. We were both very surprised at how good they were at a Mexican restaurant! The dining room was clean as were the restrooms. The selection is huge here! The portions were very generous as well. We will be back!

Tacos al pastor or steak
Nandi A.

I had been looking for some good Mexican food in the auburn area and was very pleased with El Dorado. The service was fast and the food was very tasty. I ordered the tacos al pastor with chicken instead of steak. The chicken was well seasoned but I did assume it would come with corn tortillas, but it automatically comes with flour. My mistake :( My friend ordered the quesabirria tacos which looked outstanding and the salsa that came with them was delicious. I would definitely return here! *Also be mindful that the taco Tuesday special only applies to the "simpler" tacos they offer, like ground beef, sour cream, and lettuce. *

2nd Salsa Extra Hot was good
Marilyn D.

This restaurant provided a great Mexican atmosphere and great service. I am giving it a 4 because myself nor my husband liked anything we ordered. This is Mexican food Michoacán style. So benefit of doubt not the type of Mexican food we are used to. I ordered Chile Rellenos and my husband Beef and Chicken Quesadilla. The house salsa looked and tasted like tomato sauce, I did ask if they had something else and was brought out a much hotter green salsa. Ok so my biggest issue was the beef. I believe it was hamburger meat but minced so fine it was mushy and looked like baby food. I am not sure of the chile used but it tasted like a green bell pepper. So basically it was a pepper with a layer of the meat and cheese on it. It came with an Avocado salad, basically shredded salad with huge glop of Avocado. The Quesadillas were Fat thick Flour tortillas folded like a Taco, one with the beef stuff and one with chicken that tasted boiled. So if your experimental give it a try. Based on this meat possibly in lots of dishes we won't try again. Again staff, service, cleanliness was great.

Taco salad with chicken
Olivia S.

Absolutely amazing experience here! We came in for a quick lunch break and they had us in and out of here in 20 minutes. Jorge our waiter worked so fast and efficient to get us out on time with to go drinks and boxes. He was so friendly. My chicken taco salad was excellent. The chicken was so tender and tasted amazing. I'll be back!

Ordered the #16 (chicken enchiladas w/ guacamole salad) & #51 (Grilled chicken w/ rice & refried beans). Fast service on a Sunday at 3pm. Very hot & fresh food. The salsa was decent just basic (no cilantro/onions) We also ordered the regular margarita on the rocks no salt! It was well made & did the job. Will be back again!

Ordered delivery twice, both times it's been great. It's actual Mexican food. Doesn't taste like McDonald's salsa. I'm a fan.

After driving all day, I just wanted a drink and some comfort food. This was close to the hotel and…read morehad better ratings than the other two Hispanic food places in town. I ordered the house marg (always a good barometer of a place), and they brought out a nice chalice and some chips and salsa while I looked over the menu. Chips were warm, salsa was spicy and cool - perfect temperatures! The dining room is mostly multi-top tables scattered in rows. Families, couples, and other groups were scattered around. There was a sports team of 9-12 year-old boys and their families eating at one long double table which was a bit rowdy, but not overly so for that age. Didn't really bother me, but I have lived through that age, and had kids that I'd take out as well. I've been to louder fast food joints on a late Spring Saturday night. The bar service person was friendly and answered my questions about different food combos. I eventually selected the birria tacos, and they came out in maybe five minutes, hot, and accompanied by a nice bowl of soup/sauce for dipping. I dove in and forgot to take pictures, it was so good. If you've not had birria before, it's a meat cooked in broth. Then the meat is placed in a partially cooked tostada, folded and grilled. Think a taco with warm ingredients, instead for cold items put into a cooked shell. You dip them in the liquid the meat was cooked in, kinda like an au jus sandwich. It's great! Birria is originally from Jalisco, MX, (home of ranchero music and tequila, so they know something!) and was made from goat, because the Spanish gave the peasants goats. Stewing made the tough meat better. But now it's usually beef. I'd definitely return if I were back in the area. I was here to celebrate a family birthday. It was a nice way to end a tiring day.

The customer service here is always amazing. The food is always good. This is my go to place when I…read moreget off work and want Mexican food. The process of the food is super affordable and the quality of the food is amazing. The margaritas are good and they are affordable as well.

Unfortunately, you can't give less than one star. If I could, it would be a .25! Very disappointed…read morein my lunch. I ordered a California steak burrito and it was awful. The description read like a burrito supreme, but it was a gummy concoction of rice with very few beans and pieces of steak and a tiny little bit of cheese. I cut it open and just ate a little bit of steak. The guacamole and sour cream that came with it were in a thimble size containers. The guacamole was tasteless and so thin it was almost a soup, the sour cream was OK. The cheese dip was very thin and tasteless. The salsa was OK, but the chips were stale. I ordered a virgin margarita which also appeared to be watered down and I was charged $7.25 like it contained alcohol. I spent $40 and was so incredibly disappointed. If I had not been with a friend, I would have sent the meal back and I should have. I just didn't want to cause a scene. This is the first time that I have felt compelled to write a review, but I felt like I needed to share this experience.

I never post reviews and this is my first time. First of all, I know times are tough, but I ordered…read morea pickup order from Don Julio's. As I was paying the cashier he told me my total was $23 and some change. The cashier handed me my receipt to sign, and I saw that the total was $35. When I asked why, I was told there was a car charge. I looked at the receipt and sure enough, there was the car charge x'3 for two orders and I guess the third order was the chips and salsa that came with the meal. I told the cashier Why am I being charged almost $11 for a car charge for using my gas to come and pick up my own order? No answer. I got the food home and it was COLD. I will not be going back. Watch your receipts people!
