El Dorado - Raleigh

This is the best authentic Mexican cuisine in Raleigh. It is my favorite intimate place to go. The staff and the owner are extremely friendly and nice.

I ordered the number three lunch special, which included a burrito, taco, and rice. The restaurant had about six or seven tables. I requested fried beans instead of rice, but my order still came with rice. Despite this mix-up, I didn't mind as the portion size was quite generous with a quarter pound burger and the other two items. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch.

The restaurant offers fantastic combinations for both lunch and dinner at great prices, including delicious food, drinks, and queso. The service is always excellent, consistently earning a 5-star rating.

Sure they need to update seating and decor, but the food and service are from the charts.

El Dorado is a solid Tex-Mex establishment with tons of options. The lunch menu is solid and the combinations are affordable. Loved the queso which is also at a nice price compared to some other Mexican restaurants I've been to. the sweet tea is also perfect. will definitely be eating here again after church.Kid-friendliness: ate with a family who had 4 children and they were very happy.Parking: So much parking. very accessible.
