| - How conveniently located right next to Sapphires. Turn into the Sapphires parking lot, and you've come to the right place.
I've heard many good things about El Dorado. Saw some billboards advertising gluten free and non-gmo Mexican food. Healthy Mexican food......interesting.
Their menu is pretty pricey. You as might as well call it strip prices. $13 for 3 street tacos, and that doesn't even include refried beans and rice; however, locals get 25% off, and there are other deals throughout the week.
Aside from pricey, their food was very delicious. You start with chips and 2 salsa dips. I had a house margarita for $11. It's a large portion.
Ordered the shrimp taquitos and carne asada tacos with refried beans and cilantro rice.
The shrimp taquitos come in 5 and are normally on a bed of guac. I decided to get it on the side. They were smaller than the taquitos I'm used to, but since there were 5, they were very filling. The shrimp took about 3/4 of the actual taquito. Sauce drizzled on the taquitos were tasty and no sauce I've ever tried before on a taquito. Also good when dipping the taquito in guac.
Each of the carne asada tacos had a generous portion of meat. More like it was overfilled with meat, onions, and cilantro. The meat definitely tasted like it was healthier, less greasy, and had more flavor to it than any carne asada I've had. The refried beans tasted authentic as well as the cilantro rice.
If you check in on Yelp, you get a free flan! I was super stuffed and had to box my carne asada to go, but the flan was so awesome that I just scarfed it down with a quickness!
Next time I'll have to try the tableside guac.
As a local, I think I'll come here on Mondays to claim the 25% locals discount.
