El Dorado Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Auburn - 1658 S College St, USA

First picture - We (3 people, including me) ordered 3 entrées and it was a lot! I think 5 adults can eat this too😁 The second picture - I re-visited this place and ordered #29. Camaron a la Diabla (Red Spicy Sauce)! I liked how it tastes 😋 The flavor of spicy was fit for me❣️ Also, the amount of food is suitable for eating alone. I felt full even before I finished eating.

I do not like leaving negative food reviews. In my opinion the food was not good. Bland salsa, stale chips, unflavored beans and the absolute worst chille relleno I have ever seen or tasted. I could only stomach two bites of it.

Before Miss Alabama USA 2022 we went to El Dorado to get some lunch. I wish we all knew how big the portions were, since all places are for 2 people almost, including kids meals. Drinks are also large. And I will say the large margarita, which I ordered myself, is for at least 3 people. I got the chance to try all plates and appetizers. Chips and salsa are amazing, queso was definitely out if this world. Meats were cooked and seasoned deliciously, and I’ll say steaks have fat (I love this, some people don’t). Kids meals were both good. Fries were large as well but I took the picture too late! The rest of my family ordered 1 bowl of soup that was enough for 4 people to take a small cup, they shared some beef and tortillas as well. 2 plates were enough for 4 people. We all took containers to go and took almost half of the meal home, which was great because we got to have some more later and food really is GOOD. We ordered 11 meals, 6 drinks, 1 small margarita and 1 large margarita and the check was $180, tipped $60 (which was fair enough-) Will definitely come back next year!

Last time I went into the restaurant, I went to the bathroom to find a plant growing from in the between the tiles. Today I made the mistake of ordering food online. My order was essentially a suggestion. I ordered chips and queso as well as a taco salad with an upcharge to add queso to it. I received absolutely no queso. I was given chips and salsa and the driest taco salad I’ve ever had in my life. Not one thing I ordered was correct. I was already having a bad day, and this genuinely sent me over the edge. I never thought Mexican food could let me down.

The main dishes were great. I would suggest making changes to you chips and salsa. Warm up the chips and upgrade your salsa!

An excellent dining experience even on a busy Friday night college football weekend. High quality food served quickly by their friendly staff. Reasonable prices and large portions. Extensive menu. Definitely try the Mexican guacamole appetizer.

Nice place. Food was good. I just felt like a waiter was less than friendly or maybe it was just me that he did not like. I would try this place again maybe. It was our families belated Christmas Celebration.

I was with a swim group and they raved about this place. After trying the food, I understood why. It was so fresh and delicious. Better than any Mexican food eaten. The tortilla was definitely homemade. I can't wait to come to Auburn again just to eat here.
