Sure it is #41 on Yelp's list of top 100 places to eat in the U.S. for 2015. But I was unimpressed by the price-value combination. Expect to pay $25-30 per person for a meal that would likely run you $10 or less at a food truck. I admit there are establishment charges, but that cannot fully explain the price premium.
The food (at least what I tried) was quite ordinary. Maybe I am so used to New York Mexican places that I can't tell authentic Mexican when I taste it? The quesadillas were bursting at the seams with cheese. The complimentary chips and salsa however did hit the spot.
I will likely return to give El Dorado another chance, especially since it is so close to the strip. But my expectations have certainly been tempered from this first visit.
