Very Friendly Atmosphere , Service Was On Point & Food was Excellent ....
Had dinner last night and it was amazing, again! Our server (guy with dark shot hair) forgot his name, was super attentive and had a great personality. Food was great! We had the tacos that were stuffed with good ingredients, one had the cali bowl and one had potato skins. All the dishes were fabulous! Thanks and we will be back! Oh and decent happy hour too!!
LOVE this place! Our new GO TO! Food and customer service is AMAZING! Everything we've had, has been fantastic!
Great street tacos and beer on Tuesdays. Fun place, friendly staff, cold beer. The Chili is great and the salads are huge. I love how the menu has frequent changes, but those street tacos are always a good choice on Tuesdays.. The patio gets a bit of traffic noise but it's a great place now that the weather has turned nice.
I had a Reuben sandwich that had one side over grilled and a bit black. I sent it back and a couple of seconds later the owner came out apologizing profusely and comped the sandwich. Mistakes happen, it’s no big deal. But that’s what amazing customer service looks like!
We chose to come to El Dorado Saloon for the first time ever, on New Years Eve. Our service was excellent from the second we walked in at the hostess desk. We were greeted and quickly seated despite a full house. The atmosphere was fun and lively. Our server, Kristina was awesome, great service, super friendly, and very personable. Our food was delicious and arrived fast. We ordered the Prime Rib Dinner Special, so good! ...the chimichurri sauce that came with... wow. We will definitely be back! 👌
Zach did a wonderful job getting our food and keeping the drinks filled. Got the house fries as an appetizer. Nice treat since we usually get the tots with our burgers.
I enjoyed the outdoor seating and the ice cold beer. The service was good and the staff were friendly. Indoors is a bit crowded for me and I’ve been here several times so it seems like many others like it too! Live music on the weekends and they had some line dancing event on the Wednesday night I was there. Lots of fun!!! Highly recommend a visit!

We stopped here after roller skating to celebrate our friends Birthday. Our waiter Zack was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond for us. He was just so sweet, he happened to be walking by when we were holding our drinks up to say Happy Birthday and when we were done he came up and said, did I hear that it was someone’s Birthday? We all said yes, so he said well Happy Birthday and offered my friend a Birthday dessert! He noticed that it was getting a little chilly so he offered to bring over as heater for us too! When we left the restaurant we were stopped at the stop light and we just looked over and saw our waiter Zack standing on the corner waiving us down, he said someone in your group forgot his credit card. Sure enough, our frien Darrin forgot to get his card, Zack ran it over to our car! We had such a fun night but Zack made it so much better! We all couldn’t stop talking about what a great waiter he is! It was our first time there and because of Zack, we can’t wait to go back again!
