    good service, food quality, decor, cleanliness, and portion size. Would recommend to stop by!

    a large platter of seafood
    Mike M.

    The seafood platter was on the itinerary for a reason on my food trip through 14 states. Everything was cooked awesomely. The squid and fried shrimp stood out but no weaknesses. My only fault given the money I spent was they advertised crab legs on it but there were none on my plate. Given the size of my meal I felt too guilty asking for them.

    Brought a friend here for her birthday and she loved it! I've been coming here since I was young and I've always liked the food. The pineapple water is good, not too sweet but just right. The fajitas are delicious, steak is a little over cooked but it wasn't bad! I had plenty of leftovers. Sometimes there is live music, not today, but it is a plus when there is! The menu has plenty of options for everyone! Lots to choose from so it may take a while to read through the menu. I love taking a group and ordering parrilladas (super large portions) so don't go too crazy! They're filled with a lot of good food! Authentic Mexican food at good prices. Make sure you buy some Mexican candy as you pay at the counter!!! Food: 4 stars Price: 4 stars Service: 3.5 stars Cleanliness: 3.5 stars Overall Experience: 4 stars

    21. Fajitas de Bistec de Res
    Chloe I.

    My friend and I went here Sunday night for dinner and it was very busy when we were there. We had multiple different waiters ask us if we needed anything throughout our meal. We were allowed to sit anywhere and we're greeted with smiles all around us from everyone that worked there. We split the steak fajitas and they were delicious!! We will be back again!

    Fish tacos. Order a la carte. $2 each.

    I'd heard of El Dorado before and we had lunch here recently to use up a Restaurant.com coupon. I will say that the prices were pretty obscenely cheap, as we really had to work hard to spend $30 for 2 people at lunchtime. As such I think we had a pretty good sampling of the menu offerings - though I'm not really a fan of seafood Mexican dishes (except fish tacos!), and their platters are apparently what El Dorado is known for... oh well. Unless they make all their other dishes differently, I think we still got enough of an idea to say that ultimately things just didn't have a lot of flavor. Seems impossible, right? Still, that was our take-home message of the meal. Guacamole, chips, salsa, fish tacos, chicken enchiladas, steak torta and margaritas. It was all edible. It all included good ingredients. It just didn't impress me. The interior of the restaurant was festive and clean. Soccer on the TVs and loud mariachi music playing from the jukebox. A large and detailed menu with nice pictures (though it was mostly in Spanish). We were probably also the only people in the restaurant that didn't speak Spanish. For anyone who's afraid of that type of culture shock I would say don't worrk (if I were recommending you go here, which I'm not really). I don't know... it just left me a little disappointed. Especially with so many other restaurant options within walking distance. I can't see a reason I'd make it back to El Dorado anytime soon.

    My choice, every time.

    This place is on point. Low key and chill with delicious food. It did take awhile to order and the waitress brought it all out a little a a time but we didn't care because we were full and satisfied at the end. I don't eat seafood but my table mates ate the shared seafood platter with smiles and messy fingers. My ribeye was tasty but it was thin and seemed a little pricey for the amount of steak I was paying for. Overall, we'll be returning here and recommending it to others.

    Tacos. Carne asada
    Cher H.

    Cool little restaurant. I came in the day on a week day. Ordered 3 carne asada tacos. Little on the oily side. The chili came in a plastic bag which I thought was strange. Tacos could use a little flavor. I thought the beef was lacking a little flavor. Staff seemed friendly. Place seemed clean.

    There is no way to give negative 5 stars so it's their lucky day, they get 1 star. What a difference from my previous visit. They brought my sister the wrong dish, she sent it back to the kitchen and they still tried to charge her. Our expensive order was drenched in old oil and nothing in the dish was remotely fresh or even hot. We sent it back and the new dish came out the exact same way. I tried to force myself to eat some but it just wasn't happening. Crummy food,crummy service. Yuck. I will never return. Eek!

    This is a part of the huge platter we ordered. Platter A.

    This woman owned business has been in the south Omaha area for approximately 4 to 5 years and…read morerecently opened its newest location at 132nd and center. I've been to this location before but it's been a while and we really enjoyed coming back. Came in on a Saturday afternoon when it's fairly typical to have live mariachi bands roving the restaurant. The restaurant is large, and has a fun fiesta of decor. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated without reservations. It should be noted that they will take reservations during the week, but not on weekends. There are a number of large tables that can accommodate bigger groups. Complementary parking lot is available out front. However, it does get a little tight during their busy times. This is an interesting Mexican restaurant as it reminds me of something more typical of what you would find on the Yucatán peninsula. Shrimp and mixed ceviche dishes, a large variety of fish dishes, including whole fish that are very traditional for that part of Mexico. They also serve excellent salsa and guacamole, however, this is not the type of Mexican restaurant you can order dishes of queso, or some of the more traditional dishes that you would find at other, more Americanized restaurants. Our server, Christine V was super! We got there a little early in order to secure a larger table off to the side since our infant granddaughter is going to be joining us for a birthday celebration. This restaurant well they don't allow you to bring it outside cakes for dessert offer a variety of desserts that can be offered for special occasions. We were able to select a strawberry Tres Leche cake, which was just perfect for the occasion. We also enjoyed their margaritas, which were excellent and offered in the variety of enormous proportions! Everything that was ordered, was generous in quantity and delicious and quality that included a variety of fajitas and shrimp dishes. This location also offers seafood rolls that are prepared at a sushi counter. For those that are a little less brave there are a number of options that offer everything cooked and prepared just like you would find in any local sushi restaurant and as good. The one thing I also love about this restaurant is that it is immaculately clean. There's a dedicated crew that roams and never leaves anything unbussed for long. Everything appears to be wiped, sanitized, and swept in between every round of customers which is brisk. The manager came around and checked on us to ensure we have everything we need and offered us to go bags. Everything about this visit was very positive. Highly recommend this location as it's been voted one of the best of Omaha for 2023.

We initially decided to come here because our daughter's name is Isla and we thought she would think it was cool to see her name when we explained to her what it was called but the food will definitely motivate us to come back. The service was hit or miss and definitely on the slower side, but we will definitely come back to try some other new dishes next time. I can't actually find it on pictures of the menu, but the dish we ordered was served in a pineapple and it was phenomenal!

They definitely have/had some pretty high prices compared to other eateries in the area. I'm not sure if that is caused by cost of goods or location or what, but I think that did come into play when a lot of economic hardship is happening all over. Like I mentioned above, I DID like their food, but it definitely had to be a special occasion type of thing, due to the high prices. When we did go, I LOVED the Maryland Crab Dip. It reminded me of my favorite crab dip in the world, at the SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta. We also had the Green Bean Almandine that was on special last time we went and that was pretty good, but you have to be a green bean fan, for sure. I decided to try the sushi as my main dish last time, and had the Everything Crunch Maki, which consisted of cooked salmon, jalapeño, and cream cheese. It was pretty good, and had a little hint of spice to it from the jalapeño, which cut the heavy cream aspect. My husband had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon for his entree, and gave me a few bites. It was cooked well and the mushroom risotto below it was very flavorful and filling. The cute nautical ambiance and excellent service were always appreciated, so no complaints there either. I think if they had been in a different area with less expensive rent and cost of goods, I may have visited more often.

You can choose from a wide variety of seafood such as shrimp, mussels, lobster, snow crab etc. once you choose your seafood that you select your flavoring. Choices are Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter, or a mix of all three. Lastly, choose your spice level (mild, medium, hot, etc). We both selected the snow crab and snow boil with Cajun seasoning and mild spice. The boils also come with corn, potatoes and a hard boiled egg. Never seen the egg in a boil before. Everything comes out in a big plastic bag in a steel pan. Dump the contents out and prepare to dig in. Let me say that this is not the place to go out all dressed up. The boils are very messy. They give you an apron and plastic gloves, but still a mess. It was delicious. We also got a couple sides of hush puppies which were very tasty as well. Good portions. Staff was friendly and informative. Really great flavors in the boils. They did a real good job. Definitely worth checking out.
