    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

    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.

    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!

    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 last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

I've had this restaurant recommended by multiple people and I can say it lives up to the hype. I loved the decor and music playing, the atmosphere was casual and fun. We were sat in a little booth but there are high and low tables and a bar area inside and a patio outside. The patio is shaded, which will be nice in the summer. We had chips and salsa brought to the table, and they were the typical restaurant chips and salsa, nothing special but tasty. I ordered the birria tacos and was so glad I did! They were cheesy, greasy, full of meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. The rice was really flavorful and the beans were typical. My husband ordered a cantarito and I thought it sounded good so I ordered one too. They were much bigger than we've had before. They were kind of warm, cherries were added, and it was heavy on the orange juice. I wouldn't order one again, but I would definitely order a margarita. They all sounded so good, and I'd love to try the candy shots! They only came as a set of 4, I wish we could get them individually. Overall, a great experience and looking forward to going back to try more.

I loved the colorful paper banners and the paintings. We went at about 5 pm on a Saturday and were seated quickly.

We were given complimentary chips and salsa, then our waitress offered more but didn't tell us it was $2 for a refill. Not a huge price, but we weren't told it was extra. I got a frozen classic margarita and my husband got a classic on the rocks. One and done! It was strong, your basic pre-mix flavor, and I loved the glasses! There was another drink on the menu called a cantarita (similar to a Paloma), which I can't wait to try sometime. I ordered the birria tacos and they were so good! The shell had a light crunch, the cheese was perfectly proportioned and melted, the meat was tender and flavorful, and the broth had the perfect amount of season, onion, and cilantro without being too overpowering. Everything was SO filling, between the drink, chips and salsa, I had to take one of the tacos to go. The salsa is made in house from fresh ingredients but the chips and tortillas aren't. She said they get the dough and it's cut up prior to making the tacos. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful, but the service was a little slow even though it wasn't too busy most of the time we were there. We didn't mind because we had time, but something to consider if you're in a hurry. Authenticity was 6/10 based on the overall vibes, music, taste of the food, but it was a bummer the tortillas weren't fresh made and the margarita was pre-mix.
