                                    The paella was the highlight of the meal! It was flavorful, well-seasoned, and made with fresh ingredients. The rice had a nice texture, and the seafood was cooked just right. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a well-prepared meal, especially if you’re a fan of paella.

                                    We love eating at El Dorado Kitchen / service is always great. We have never eaten in the front room - it was good but very warm - I mentioned this to the hostess and the server (who was sweating) Food was good - would have loved the tostada more if it was more chicken breast and less thigh meat.

                                    Wonderful experience...love this restaurant. The service, the food and the kind host who understood that my friend was having problems getting to the restaurant bc of traffic. My friend came and we visited for three hours. We only get to see each other once a year and we didn't realize how long we stayed. Daniel who took care of us told us to enjoy our lunch and said no worries about staying so long. I have been here many times and will continue. thank you
