Tons of flavor and smokiness. Everyone loved it. The steak tritip was a little tough but overall fine. We also loved the desserts! The fruit salad was very small and the advocado rolls were fine.

The decor and ambiance are trendy and…read morecontemporary, and I really liked seeing a menu that offers such a wide variety of dishes representing several Latin American countries. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. Everyone in our group agreed that nearly everything was overly salty. I love bold flavors and savory dishes, but this was excessive even for me. Service was another issue. Our waiter missed several orders, and while most of the group had already finished eating, some entrees were just arriving 45 minutes later. Even one order that hadn't been missed still came out significantly late. As for the food itself, there were a few highlights. The Guatemalan tamales were pretty good, although I believe they were a limited-time offering. The patacones were interesting and were probably my favorite dish of the meal. Unfortunately, the Churrasquito was disappointing. The meat wasn't particularly thick or tender and was difficult to cut. The Huachinango fish was the biggest letdown. It didn't taste fresh and was honestly inedible. I really wanted to like this place, especially since it's so close by. I'm always looking for good restaurants to take out-of-town guests, and I was hoping this would become one of those go-to spots. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I can't say it lived up to my expectations.

It was great that we asked about Makers, since it was conveniently in our area. Avocado Toast | We were expecting a decent size of toast, but a big sourdough slice came out. It was covered with a generous helping of mashed avocado and smoked salmon, alongside a flavorful lime crema and garlic aioli. Menu: Our menu included typical breakfast items, including French toast, breakfast burrito, pancakes, and chilaquiles, under a fixed-price dining offer. Service: My friend mentioned that the staff was extremely helpful at the time of booking. Our large party of 16 were all seated together. With some rearranging, the restaurant managed to fit us all, creating ample space for a cozy family meal! The servers were responsive and fulfilled every request. Parking: Plenty in the parking lot.

I don't know why I always forget about this spot! It's solid! We walked in and the hostess greeted us immediately and sat us quickly. It wasn't too busy for a weekend which I was pretty surprised at. Lots and lots of seating if you want to dine in and they have a counter if you just want to walk up and order coffee or food to go. I ordered the salted caramel coffee iced and decaf. It was soooo good. I also got the churro waffles and WOW. So tasty. I really liked the butter they used for it. It was delicious. I definitely see why this is a favorite. My husband also really enjoyed his meal as well. I'd definitely recommend this spot for brunch. Their coffee is soooo good and they have such delicious food. I'm a big fan of their empanadas so I'll definitely be back soon to get some of those!

My partner got the paisa bowl based on recommendation. The food was simple but good. My partner really liked the paisa bowl, the steak and chorizo were flavored well. It was rounded out with the beans and rice. Just very hearty and rich. The veggie omelet was good, all the veggies cooked through. Worked well for both of us. Savory but not heavy in the least which was great after the long night before. We'd certainly stop by again for brunch. Solid food, wasn't busy and service was great throughout.

One of my friend's drinks was made by a different bartender and wasn't quite how she wanted it. Joel quickly stepped in and fixed it. He really understands what good customer service is all about.

My favorite is always the Stuffed Dates, wrapped in bacon and filled with an almond and blue cheese. So good! The Sangria and specialty cocktails are wonderful, too. The bar has a lively atmosphere and definitely gets busy, both with people seated at the bar and those at the tables in the bar area. It's a fun spot for Happy Hour, especially when you have a great bartender like Joel!

Now when I tell you, this food was some of the most delicious food I've had in a very long time, my boyfriend and I both agreed we're going to be sad when we go back to the Midwest because we're going to miss how good that meal was!

From there, El Dorado Cantina caught my eye after looking at Mexican restaurants in the middle afternoon for lunch. I prefer stand alone restaurants, generally than restaurants in hotels or casinos. This review is for the Happy Hour menu. The restaurant had its Calaveras theme awaiting Dios de los Muertos. Very nice decor and friendly helpful server. I am gluten intolerant, or I would've ordered the mole, but I was there for their very extensive happy hour menu and from the following different kinds of tacos, I picked three based on her recommendations. The list of choices is: Carne Asada / Carnitas / Pulled Chicken / Al Pastor / Chorizo Corn & Poblano / Cauliflower / Crispy Beef & Brisket / Crispy Chicken / Quesabirria I chose the Al Pastor, Carne Asada and the Carnitas. Before my plate of three tacos I got a delicious basket of chips with green and red salsa. The tacos were filled with each particular meat and extras. They were all excellent with the Carnitas superlative, followed by the Al Pastor and then Carne Asada which needed a little salsa. I would have ordered dessert but I was filled up finishing the tacos. I might be gluten intolerant but I'm not glutton intolerant. Well done El Dorado.

The hard shell tacos were so hard they were hard to eat. And the meat inside was ground beef...just a weird choice. Overall, a good experience because it was time spent with friends, but the food needs work.

Other than that, the service was great and the food was really good as well! The chicken had a lot of flavor and was very juicy, the skin of course had the most flavor, but it was still well seasoned well-into the middle of the chicken. We also tried the plate that came with ribs/pork/a tamale. The tamale was kind of dry and lacking in flavor, the pork rib was good but the other pork pieces were super tough (but it did have a lot of flavor). I would definitely go back just to order family-style of that chicken, salad, and fried yucca! The two green sauces they served everything with were really good as well and if you come here, I would ask for a lot of it, because all the food paired well with those sauces/salsas.
