| - Living up to the hype - El Dorado had great food. But like any great restaurant, it also came with a few hits and misses. First, let's talk about the misses...
The servers and bartenders looked miserable and tired! Hardly anyone smiled. I could tell they were busy but, DAMN... do you want my tips or not? I felt like our bartender was so exhausted. I think he was purposely avoiding eye-contact so he could catch his breath.
Another miss was the chips and salsa. It was exactly what you'd expect at any old Mexican place, not a gourmet place. I had higher hopes.
Now for the hits...
The steak sopes were very tasty. I enjoyed the chipotle chicken and, of course, the flavorful rice! But our final server, Chris, was the redeemer of this place. He was friendly and attentive. He made great recommendations and he was so kind. Also, he offered us the holy grail of El Dorado - the flan...
After consuming drinks, appetizers and entrees, we were so stuffed... but when we tasted that flan, we devoured it like animals! It was amazing! Definitely the best flan I have ever tasted. I could go back just for that. :-)
