My two daughters and I enjoyed breakfast. I was hoping to have brunch, but we were too early. We had the Avocado Toast, Short Rib Hash, and a waffle. The Avocado Toast was great. I hadn't tried it before and was pleasantly surprised. The Short Rib Hash was awesome. Both these dishes came with salads and eggs. The waffle was a waffle. Sorry. Too much whipped cream. Would be an improvement with butter and more fruit besides banana.

Good food, but drinks came after entrees. Probably not waiters fault, but unacceptable. Fairly noisy inside. Would probably go back.

First time dining at El Dorado Kitchen since before the COVID pandemic. Food was excellent. Well prepared salads, and delicious pasta carbonara as well as chicken risotto. Our waiter was very attentive. Prices very reasonable considering the high quality of the cuisine. Only minor issue was that there was a long wait between the salad course and when we received our entrees. Also the dessert offerings weren’t very interesting. But in general it was a very good experience. Will return again.

Our group of 8 women had dinner here, we shared 6 appetizers and 5 main courses (some of us shared Paella). There was plenty of food, everything was delicious, great ambience and a very enjoyable experience.
