    Years back I put a negative review cause I was disappointed with the breakfast tacos and the quality of the food. Well here we are giving a 5 star review on some amazing tacos! Got the bacon egg and cheese taco this morning that were really big and super good! They credit card system didn’t work so I went back in the afternoon to pay and ordered a mojellas and cheese taco and I was so shocked on how good it was! The cooks in the back needs a raise cause I went from not coming for a few years to wanting to come everyday!

    The Spanish omelette and blended coffee is sooooo delicious. It’s rare I really like anything from any Mexican restaurants here in town. But this and the coffee are amazing I had to give a review!

    A very wonderful place for breakfast! The smiling, friendly service was gentle on a headache. Rosa was a good waitress and very friendly and warm. I had huevos rancheros, it hit the spot.

    El Dorado is my favorite Mexican Food restaurant in Kingsville! The Al Pastor Chimichanga is amazing! I love the chips, salsa and queso while you wait. The service is excellent. Kind servers and very fast. Also try the habanero sauce! Great setting. Easy parking. Carne asada chimichanga is also awesome. I come here at least once a week. Reminds me of home in San Diego, California- but bigger and more cheese! Love it! Texas style. 10/10

    The tortillas were very good here. The rest of the food was also delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The waitress was also very attentive. She kept the chips and drinks filled. The portions are also very generous, so you will probably take some for another meal. The restaurant was also very clean and the food came out quickly even though we had a large party. Parking in front was also adequate.
