   The chips and guac were mediocre. The chips were cold and unsalted, while the guac was too acidic. The fish was perfectly battered, but it lacked salt, and the taco lacked acidity and salt to complement the fish. The cheesecake was well balanced and the touch of lime added some tartness and offset the heaviness of the cake. The margarita was good and on the sweeter side. Overall average experience

   We keep coming back, it’s become one of our fave little spots in town. This time, it was a group of us on a Friday night, and everyone loved their taco choices. To change it up, I had the sliders and would definitely order them again. My girlfriend raved about the passion fruit margarita. Their cocktails are always delicious, water is always refilled, service is always spot on. It was an energetic evening, all tables were full (I suggest you make a reservation if you want to go on a Friday or Saturday night).

   The food was meh.. Chips were stale, dips had no flavour, spice or seasoning of any kind. Tacos were just okay. They were a bit small and weren't something to rave home about but the beer was cold and the margarita was nice enough. Sat in a booth that felt like sitting in front of a child in an airplane seat who keeps kicking. You could feel every movement on the seat behind you as the entire booth rocked back and forth. Overall, didn't give us enough to want to come back.

   Good food. Reservation for 7 and they only had 6 plates on the table. Had to ask for extra forks, plates, etc. Brought gin & soda instead of gin & tonic, but no big deal. They were attentive and the food was good.

    I had an allergic reaction at your restaurant. I mentioned I had a dairy allergy to your server and they served me food that triggered my reaction. I had to go to the hospital later that afternoon. It’s unfortunate because I’ve never had this issue before at your restaurant and typically I’ve always had a great experience.

    Another great experience at Eldorado. Took some first-timers, and they were just as impressed as I had been on my first visit. Highly recommend if you want some delicious tacos, margaritas or cocktails. Upbeat atmosphere with friendly, efficient service.

    Their spicy pineapple margarita was really good. The food tend to be a bit sweeter than I thought but It was good nonetheless.

    Due to supply issues they did not have any tuna or tortillas soup available and was running out of avacados.

    We had a reservation and were told on the phone we would have the large booth in the back, we arrived 10 minutes early and watched the hostess give our table away to a walk in group before us. The Hostess said she could push some tall table tops together and I told her we had called and were supposed to have a booth. She said we would have to wait 45 -60 minutes. We had 3 seniors in our group and I explained my sister has a disability where it’s hard to sit on tall chairs due to balance Issues. Hostess was very disorganized and confused when I asked why our reservation was given away. She didn’t apologize or offer to move the newly seated guests due to her mistake. Similar to other reviews I read, our experience was similar. Drinks came quick but then we waiteded a really long time for our waitress to put in our food order. Many tables that were seated after us got to order before ours which meant we had to wait a really long time for our main tacos. Finally an hour later hostess moved us to the booth, and then another 30 minutes before our food arrived. The food was delicious and fresh tasting and our appetizers were great as well. They just need to improve the flow and communication of front desk. Our waitress was lovely but you could tell they are not used to be super busy. Hostess needs training on how to maintain reservations. This place has great potential as the atmosphere and decor and food is great.

    The tacos were so small and barely filled. The fish taco was extremely disappointing with mainly batter and barely any fish inside. Price is per taco. Can find much better tacos in the Ottawa area for the same price or cheaper. Service was slow considering the restaurant was not busy when we dined, and waiter was not overly friendly. Would not dine again due to being so overpriced and such a disappointing lack of fillings in tacos.

    I went with a friend to celebrate our graduation! The server was lovely (I wish I remembered her name!) she was very helpful in navigating the menu and taking note of my allergies. The tacos were super yummy! The main reason we went was for the margaritas and I would definitely go again just for this! They are SO good!

    Long wait and bad food. We waited over an hour to get tacos and ceviche for two people. When the tacos came they were tiny and had barely anything in them. I’m a small person too, and don’t eat a lot. The ceviche though was the most disappointing. I’ve never had a ceviche I truly disliked until coming here - the ceviche was oily and tasted like nothing, no lime, no cilantro, just oil and tasteless. Nacho tips were stale too. On paper the menu looked great and nice atmosphere, but would never go back again. To top it all off was service that was mediocre at best and long wait for the food. Other tables around us had the same bad experience.

    Usually very good. Busy night even at 8 pm. Drink were relatively fast. A bit pricy imo. Biggest annoyance is after you order tacos and would like another round it takes longer to get 3 then your entire table the first time. Yet I was made to feel that ordering more was going to be just a few minutes. After 40 min we cancelled and left. This is the second time. I guess you’d better know how hungry you are and order them all at once. Disappointing on a $325 bill

    Foods was great. Service was okay. Empty glasses on the table that could have been refreshed. It was loud so having any sort of conversation was challenging. But the restaurant had a fun vibe for sure.

    I had a really fun time at El Dorado Taco! Always one of my favourite places for tacos in Ottawa, and it was great to introduce my date to one of my favourite places for tacos! The food was great, our servers were very attentive and overall it was a lot of fun! Thanks very much!

    Only thing I can say, is that our server forgot about us when came the time to bring us the bill so we waited a bit longer than we should have, but hey, it happens. Aside from that little hiccup, service was outstanding! :)

    Food was only okay. For somewhere the strictly specializes in tacos, you could honestly make most of what they offer at home. The steak tacos were tough, the pork belly was cardboard, and the shrimp tacos are sweeter than most restaurants desserts. This place was pretty underwhelming if it weren’t for the delicious cocktails.

    The food was amazing and made to order which makes it fresh as possible. The pork belly tacos were flavourful and the house made hot sauce complimented the food and didn’t overpower it. I would definitely recommend when in Ottawa.
