Reviews of El Dorado Cantina
Noel Davenport
Fantastic location for drinks and great food, incredible staff. Spend the afternoon or all night. And so great experience the Union mobile app - allows immediate service with out waiting or getting up. SO FAST! And the Union mobile app allows for any payment - Apple Pay, Google Pay or credit card of choice. Get the table side guacamole for sure!

Friends had recommended this place and I had tried it before and thought it was mediocre. I
completely take that back. This time I started off w chips & salsa and an El Dorado margarita. Main dish I had a street taco platter with one each: Mahi Grilled, Shrimp & El Pastor w Rice &
Beans. All were very authentic street tacos. I also had a prickly pear margarita which was better than my first drink. The bartender Tara convinced me to have the Flan. I don’t even like Flan but theirs was amazing.
The service here is top notch. Tara the bartender was the best service I had while in Vegas. If you are visiting.. Go here you will not regret it.
Nancy McBride
We came Last year and it was amazing.
This year, it wasn't as good.
My nachos were $14 dollars with NO MEAT! And you can see from the picture how little toppings were on there after top layer.
The failure with most restaurants who serve nachos is making sure there is enough layers of toppings so the bottom chips aren't dry.
Waitress was by herself serving, she was slammed but very pleasant and did a good job considered the lack of staffing.
Katy Bruce
This is a staple for me! This is a local favorite the food is phenomenal, the drinks are better. Make sure you stop by for margarita Monday’s!! The service is exceptional! They have several locations across town but the strip location is my favorite.
cdnick11
If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food this is your spot!! The food and service was amazing. I will definitely be back with the whole crew!!
Adrian Flores
I stopped here after a passenger recommended it for a quick bite to eat and some good drinks. I can say he was 100% correct! I had the El Dorado Margarita and the Guava Margarita, both were fantastic! The vibe here is super chill too, definitely a cool spot to kick it with a date or rolling solo.
Summer Pierce
One of the best meals I’ve had in Vegas. Everything is homemade even the blue corn chips. I’ll definitely be returning. Edit. I have now visited here 5times. Amazing every time. Don’t skip this place.
Travis Steed
This is a nice somewhat smaller restaurant located one street behind Resort World. Our waitress was very polite & knowledgeable, and done her very best considering it was only her and one other. Nice ambiance however lighting for the half-moon booths is extremely dim, difficult to see your plates impossible to read the check w/o using my phones light. Food was great. Ordered the three salsas w/chips, she had a taco salad with grilled mahi-mahi and I had the carnitas plate that came rice, beans, s.c., guacamole, pickled vegetables, and choice of tortillas. Next time I'll leave off the pickled veg but otherwise both entress & appetizer were outstanding. Not the cheapest place but it is in Vegas. We would definitely return.
Truck S
Mario our server very polite, great personality and awesome at maintaining our table. The food was mouth watering food🤤highly recommend this restaurant. Never in my life would have eaten Flan. Best dessert ever....again mouth watering🤤.
Ana Gonzalez
After my wedding on 3/8/23 El Dorado Cantina hosted our celebration dinner and everything was amazing! We had a party of 15 people and we actually showed up an hour early which they accommodated us and just started our dinner earlier. Ivan was our host that night and he was great! Presented the food menu well to us and was very attentive. On top of the great service the food was amazing! Not one person complained about anything that night and I’m happy I chose them to help us make our day special! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Nan McKown
The food is really good! Our service was adequate but a little slow considering there weren't a lot of customers - friendly enough and got the food to us eventually. It is really dark inside which makes it hard to see anything including the menu. El Dorado is connected to a strip club, but it does have really good Mexican food, so don't let that deter you - just know that you might need a little more than the traditional 1-hour lunch to enjoy it.
Francis Angelone
Great Mexican restaurant oddly enough adjacent to a gentleman’s club. Don’t let that worry you though. There are children in here. Great drinks and probably the best Mexican food you’ll find in Las Vegas. Make a reservation on the weekends. We were able to sneak into bar seats but the place was very packed.
Abel Rosales
I wasn't sure about this restaurant but once I got my food I was blown away. Everything I had here had so much flavor and the service was hands down top of the game. If you have the chance to go you should. I'm sure it will be as good as it was for me
Junior V
This place it's alright.. We came here after reading so many reviews and expectations were up .. Waiting for our drinks was long! Our waitress was very pleasant and sweet explained and apologized for the delay.. Food was alright really the Mahi tacos was dryer and not tasty the shrimp enchiladas good. The shrimp tacos meh. Overall you don't miss much.
Bunnii
I've been coming here for years and I love this place so much. Had a couple hangups tonight (I was shocked, its usually perfect!) but the manger was so kind and fixed everything for us. I couldn't believe the outstanding service he provided. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time and left happy. I do miss 50% off for locals on Mondays though! 😜

This is a MUST! First time here and I will be sure to visit when I return to Vegas. The tables idea guacamole was fantastic and the chilaquiles was to die for.
Middle Cross Ranch
The service and server were wonderful!
The guacamole bowl appetizer was great and was prepared right at our table.
The chips and salsa were very good, the red salsa having a great, roasted pepper flavor.
The main course of steak enchiladas was mediocre, and I did not care for the sauce they put on top. Overall a good experience though.
SFHCo
Some of the best carnitas tacos in Vegas. Great atmosphere and the customer service is great.
Rabi dadi
Nice food, next to a club. Pretty lit place food wasnt bad either.
universal metric
We feel this restaurant has all the elements to create top level dining experience. They have excellent food, strong drinks, polite staff, good music, and quality ambiance.
My wife got the el pastor street tacos with cilantro rice and refried beans. The flavors were excellent and textures were dynamic. The creamy beans tasted good and felt like they melted in your mouth, the rice wasn't too dry nor too moist and the cilantro was a good flavor.
I got the Carne asada burrito. It was very good, and they sear the tortilla after the burrito is made to give a crisp to the outside.
We got the pitcher of house margaritas to share. At $50 it may seem expensive but we end up with about 3 drinks per person. They taste good (not too sweet and no funny sour mix) and we feel them. We got an additional shot each, which was a very good pour, and the tequila they recommended was very flavorful.
The meal comes with a price tag, but it is worth it.
For a pitcher of margaritas, 2 shots, two entries and fried ice cream was $144. But it was worth it for a wonderful meal!
Kristy Rubino
If you are coming here it is for the atmosphere! The food was pretty good but very over priced. Also, the service was terrible. Waited around 25 min to get greeted, had to flag down the waitress for another drink, waited around 20 min for the check. The food was tasty. I had a quesadilla with pastor ($26), and a watermelon margarita (19). With tax and tip, it was $60. Would not go back unless a friend wanted to for a special occasion.
Cj Martin
Interesting that they share the building with a strip club, which of course is not mentioned. The food was different, pretty good but served with no sauce of any kind. No cheese in a burrito?? Not bad, but certainly different. Over priced for what you get.
Mary Jankowiak
Made a reservation. Arrived and got seated quickly. Vibe/ambiance/decor was great. Two ways to order, either the app or with our server. The server was great; super accommodating. The food was amazing! Our table got enchiladas and fajitas and some margaritas, too. Next time I go to LV, I’ll definitely stop by here again.
Jarrett Livesey
This place suffers from location !! In the shadow of a strip club it thinks it has to reinvent everything on its menu; we were up sold from the moment we started to order. When I ordered my drink I said to our server ‘tell me what I should order ?’ Because had I ordered something standard he wouldn’t have stood for it. Do yourself a favor and find a Mexican restaurant away from the strip whose focus is on their food and not overcharging you for everything.
Aman Singh
Love this place. My favourite Mexican spot period ! This is also the nicest looking Mexican restaurant you will ever see. The tableside guacamole is to die for and the wet burrito is just amazing. So far I've yet to have a bad experience here and I've been countless times.
KB
Best option for late-night vegan food! Open 24hrs and they have a FIRE vegan menu.
Erin Reid
Not the best drinks tonight, but always a great place.
Be aware...they charge $3.75 for chips and Salsa now, this is new.
Vanessa Ullrichova
The place is great but can easily be missed. Very cool spot and great music. The food was good but just a little too salty for my liking. Overall it was great and the staff is so friendly. I will go back and give it another try.
Con Rob
Amazing salsas!! So good, but...terrible fajitas (chicken cooked too thick and super dry). Service was also very bad in getting more water refills. Took many attempts.
michelle mayer
Don't be discouraged by the location. This is a hidden gem. Best soco manhattan in the city. Clean, well stocked bar great happy hour prices and snacks. The menu is straight forward and the food is excellent with nice portions
Howard Leibovitch
We read the reviews and it sounded as the place to eat good mexican. For us it was standard, tortilla chips from a bag salsa and guacamole were good. Main dishes were plentiful but nothing special for taste, almost seemed pre-made. Reasonable prices.
Nicole King
The food here was amazing, I had the carne asada and my husband had the steak burrito. Both were very flavorful. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 is because of the lighting. The ambience was well decorated but it was just too dark, I could barely see to eat.
Dalia Rea
El Dorado Cantina has a good variety of options on their menu. I like their service very fast and attentive. The waiter is very nice and knowledgeable on the food items. Their gluten-free option are amazing as well it’s mostly 75% of the menu. I ordered the Paco’s Mole Sampler plate, which is amazing the black beans weren’t salty in which I live that, the rice was so tasty as well and very tender. I love how it’s not so dark in their restraint their lighting is perfect. The guacamole was so good the chef made it in front of us, the waiter asked if we’d prefer it not spicy, mild or spicy. It was awesome the lime in it was perfect. Their plates can be shared for two people. Unless you are very hungry I think anyone would be able to eat their plate themselves. Their over all rating would be more than a 5 star service.
S. CHEUNG
Don’t let the fact that it’s next to a strip club fool you - this is an incredible restaurant with excellent staff, great atmosphere, and fantastic food!!! 10/10 would recommend
Get the El Dorado Nachos, the cheese and avocado are out of this world
Jazzlyn K.
Another great time out with this great restaurant. I've made many reviews and each time they top themselves. Fresh fast food, phenomenal service and omg the guava margarita tackles every taste bud in a great way. I even tried thier cauliflower tacos that were yummy and packed with flavor
Deepak Verma
This is the place too visit in Las Vegas for Mexican cuisine. I think this place in top 100 restaurant of USA. They also have a bar. Separate family room, great ambience. Service was great and very prompt. Staff was very courteous. Menu has lots of options for vegetarian lovers (they have items mark with green leave for vegetarian). Plenty of parking spaces available and its right on north end of strip. Little bit expensive but worth the money. If you are in the city and love Mexican food i would advise not to miss the place!!
Leo Jacquez
I’ve been wanting to come here for soo long. Finally had the chance too, and it did not disappoint. The location is a little odd at first especially with kids, but once you are inside it doesn’t matter where you are. The place is vey nice. The food is great. The steak was cooked very well. We started with some table side guacamole, it was delicious. We got vertical flights and horizontal flights the higher end tequila is a must much better taste. The orange dessert ice cream was really good and the presentation was awesome. Serve I side of an orange.
Fenix Castro
Ivan was the most amazing server I've had in Las Vegas in a long time. Food was superb.
You can't replace service but you can replace food. So I was very impressed with the attentiveness and recommendations provided. They have an awesome hot spicy salsa. Street tacos A1.
Guess what open 24 hours!!! Will be a late night fine dining solution.
Oh and the list for tequila is a book!!
Senaite Tewolde-Mesfin
We had the best experience! We went for our sisters birthday and our server Ivan was great🎉🎉🎉. We are coming again!!! Thank you much for making it the best experience ever will come again😊😊
Jenna Blake
IVAN!!! Was AMAZING!! We were a bridal party of 10 and he was efficient and entertaining. He definitely hyped us for the start of our night, he made our experience great!
B Marciano
So glad I found this place! Had the Carne Asada Burrito & the Pulled Chicken Burrito. The chips & salsa were also amazing!! Stella my server went above and beyond and recommended places to visit while here. Thanks Stella! I will definitely return to this restaurant
Jodi Parks
Food was good. Drinks were so so. Service was ok. Had to order using a QR code which was a little odd but food came out quick.
Tiffany Schaffer
I have been here a number of times and I recommend to all my friends who visit Vegas. Carefully crafted flavors, amazing quality, great drinks, great service. Not much more to say than that!!! I had chicken tortilla soup and the salmon tacos. COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! DELISH 😋 …
Ms Farrah L Harris
Best fresh made table side guacamole ever! They have an authentic cantina atmosphere. Great service, no reservation needed. Seated quickly. Plenty of parking. Large drink menu. The food was outstanding and delicious.
Stormy Dreams
Really liked the wholesome organic food. Very tasty and as you can see by the pictures, you get plenty of food. Wasn't able to eat over half of my Veggie Burrito. Delicious!
Sean Moraffah
This is a gluten free review.
Gluten free menu: No, but GF items clearly marked.
What I ordered: Tableside guacamole, chicken taquitos appetizer, and chipotle chicken with rice and beans.
Gluten free options: 5/5
El Dorado Cantina has one of the most extensive gluten free menus that I have ever seen. Practically 80% of the menu is gluten free and all items are marked using a legend system. If you see the little wheat symbol, then the item is gluten free. Simple yet effective.
Food: 5/5
Food is always delivered hot, flavors are out of this world, and portion sizes are not small, so definitely come hungry.
The tableside guacamole is a must-order.
Chicken taquitos were large and juicy. They drizzle a cilantro avocado sauce on top with a little sour cream...ohh myyy.
I usually order the chipotle chicken entree because I always remember how good it is. Thinly fileted grilled chicken with peppers and onions in a creamy chipotle sauce.
Service: 5/5
Tonight our server was Danny, who Has served my table in the past. He’s attentive, shows up right on time, and makes sure you have everything you need. Food is typically delivered pretty quickly. It’s amazing how fresh the food is, even though the wait isn’t very long.
Location: 3/5
Not really a “family” friendly location, as it is literally in the same building as a very large strip club. But don’t worry, there is a separate entrance to the restaurant. However, parking is ample and the restaurant is not hard to find. Just look for the glowing neon blue lights of Sapphire.
Ambiance: 4/5
The booths are very comfortable, as well as the high tables with barstools. Comfortable environment.
Overall score: 5/5
Robin Coward
I travel quite a bit and love Mexican food. This place is definitely the best Mexican food I have ever had. Try out the table side guacamole and the fajitas.
vinod palan
Must try Mexican food in Las Vegas.
One of the best authentic Mexican food with top quality food ingredients.
Found this on yelp for afternoon lunch as I was with family at circus circus casino and hotel. And Decided to walk to the restaurant. It’s very short walk of about 0.6 miles from circus circus.
Initially as I approached was reluctant as it’s next to club but restaurant has its own entrance.
Our server was Ivan and we told him we were Vegetarian and he recommended
1) cauliflower taco
2) house salad
3) bean enchiladas
4) cheese quasadia and guacamole
They serve with complimentary chips and 2 salsa .. they are yummy ... they had wide variety of drinks options.
Food came in and it’s was the best taco ... salad was very fresh and salad dressing was killer
Thank you for the yummy food next time will keep room for deserts...
Aaron Weinbaum
Located next to the Sapphire "The World's Largest Gentlemen's Club"...The Staff were friendly and had current health inspection scores. The restaurant was dark at the hostess desk. We had the chicken fajitas, chips and salsa takeout. Very little guacamole included with meal. It was good but not great. Would not go back again as there are probably better Mexican food restaurants to try in Vegas.
crystal ruelas
Our server was very helpful and great… she made our table side guacamole and it was delicious. She also made great drink recommendations. The drinks took forever to come out tho! I would have had a lot more if we didn’t wait 20 mins for a margarita. Me and my friend had the green posole and it had no flavor ! Extremely bland . It’s very dark inside ! We couldn’t even see the color of our soup or any food. It made us nauseas cause it was too dark. The table was cleaned with a dirty rag and smelled! We asked for it to be cleaned again but we were ignored on that. If it wasn’t for the server I’d give it way less stars .
Yeshewamebrat Kassa
I really enjoyed coming to this restaurant, the guac and chips was really good! I also really liked the carne asada burrito. When you come ask for Ivan he was an amazing server! Will def be coming back
Baba H
This restaurant is the best ever Mexican food in Vegas. You can walk in anytime of the day. They make the best guacamole 😋😍👌 in Vegas. They make it in front of you. I will try to post the video. They have good seating arrangements and a bar. Must visit place in Vegas of you are a foodie. I am definitely going to visit in future trips too.
Melissa Edwards
Where do I even start! Well first off this don't let this place put you off by being right next to a strip club. They have their seperate entrance and it's no problem to bring your kids. The first time we visited I had the tropical salad. By salad standards it was so delicious. This second time dining here just surpassed all my expectations. It was National Taco Day on taco Tuesday so they had a promotion on their signature tacos for ONLY $1!!!! I actually found this posted on Facebook. You really can't go wrong with dollar tacos anywhere, especially when El Dorado is promoting it. They had so much to choose from. However the promotion only allowed 5 tacos max per person so I had to choose wisely.
SIGNATURE TACO CHOICES:
- Queso Mexicano - Short rib
- Salmon - Lengua
- Cactus - Cabeza
- Chili Verde Pork w/ chicharrón FAVE
- Octopus & Chorizo - Langostino
My husband and I choose differently so I got to taste them all and they were all absolutely scrumptious. Cooked and made to perfection. When we got them the manager (I want to say) presented them all to us. Which is something that I appreciate.
For dessert we ordered fried ice cream and flan. The chef, Chef Paco came out and presented the dessert and personally gave us his card. He was such a nice guy. He even gave our boys churros filled with dulce de le he. Free of charge. Lets talk about the desserts. Fried ice cream... it's fried! duh! of course it was delicious. The boys churros! Their lucky it was for them. 2 seconds it woulda been gone had I had my way. And the flan...
TIP: check in with yelp and get a FREE FLAN!!!!
Don't miss out on this incredible offer. Incredible because their flan IS THE BEST I have EVER HAD!!! I'd come back just for the flan. No joke!
What I forgot to mention in the beginning was that we ordered margaritas on the rocks because it was the only happy hour drink they were offering away from the bar. I hate to say this because I love this place but the drinks were really disappointing. To me it was more of a limemade with a hint of Tequila. Hopefully in the future they can get the Tequila and mix ratio right.
Our waters were always filled and our waitress Ericka was so sweet and always made sure we were ok. Service like this, sadly isn't everywhere I dine at, so I really appreciate and praise when a business shows that they really care for their customers.
You can count on our family and friends on coming back for more of the phenomenal, organic goodness this restaurant has to offer. Thanks again to the staff at El Dorado Cantina for taking care of us.
matt howard
I'm very well traveled and I have eaten at some of the Spanish cuisine facilities all over the world. I'm absolutely blown away about the quality taste and service of this location. I will be back and I will tell all my friends!
Allera B
Very yummy food! Great cocktails and great staff. Would definitely go back to try the other food in the menu.
Melody Gregersen
You can see the heart and soul chef Peco puts into every dish. Absolutely love everything about this restaurant. From ambiance, signature margaritas to the food. Everyone should eat here.
adam deruise
Best Mexican restaurant in Vegas... food was amazing... service just as good... can't wait to come back.
John Shiffler
Excellent, authentic Mexican cuisine, served with flair and by attentive, friendly staff. Chef Paco brought us a specially prepared pumpkin chimichanga dessert. If you're brave, try the chapulines (grasshoppers) sauteed in either garlic lime or chipotle seasoning. Ample portions, really prompt service. Mondays are locals 25% off your entire check, Wednesday is $20 sangria pitchers (they have other specials but these stood out. Sangria (red) was very good and strong! Micheladas and a full bar are also available. Table side guacamole was amazingly delicious. Definitely coming back (on a MONDAY) :-) Special shout out to our server Andrew who was very friendly and on top of anything we needed the entire meal, but all staff was on their game tonight.
Joe Tsai
Don't let the location fool you. This is one of the best and cleanest Mexican restaurant in town. I took advantage of their happy hour deal and tried a little bit of everything and I have to say it did not disappoint.
brenda maglasang
Food was hot and tasty, just took~45 minutes for it to arrive to take after ordering. No quick lunch. People were nice. Same building as Sapphire. :)
Emily Cervantes
Our server was Alex he was nice and friendly :). The food was so delicious and the carne asada tasted amazing and was juicy. Will definitely be recommending!
Canna PsychMd
Love that this place is 24hrs! The food was on point, we had steak & chicken fajitas. Must try!
The only complaints we have were the lack of service. There weren’t enough tables to be not attentive. Most of the server’s gathered around the kitchen door chatting while us and other tables we’re looking for assistance. Maybe there needs to be a manager on duty for the late night crew because at 1 AM we weren’t getting very good service at all. Having to continuously ask for stuff from other people who work there that are just standing around a little embarrassing if you’re a server. I need to start holding people accountable or maybe find people who have customer service skills with urgency.
Veronica Cormier
I ordered the half order of nachos and couldn’t believe the size of them. I had to make sure they sent me the correct size. The food was very very good more than I could eat for the price I paid.
Kenneth Hui
This place offers authentic Mexican foods. Foods were fresh to made and very generous portion. I would totally come back again in the future. Reservation is recommended or you'll have to sit by the Bar area.
Larry Nelson
They are recently open for business, and we had heard nothing but great things. Have been to the original location many times, we made the trek out to Summerlin to try...
What a great addition to the Trivoli Village.
The restaurant has a completely and great looking decor from the other location.
As soon as we walked in, we were great by very friendly hosts, and we were surprised how buSy it was for a Monday evening.
(Reservations are highly recommended, to avoid a wait)
We were seated straight away, and the servers arrived almost immediately.
Drinks were ordered, and since we saw one of our favorite dishes from the other location, we decided to order.
And, YES, the Chilaquiles were great, and as tasty as we remember.
The service was great, with friendly and professional staff.
The food was outstanding. With very competitive prices for the area.
Highly recommended!
Don’t forget reservations, we needed them for a Monday evening...
Gloria Guevara
Delicious food! I held my reception here after our small ceremony. They have a separate room. Service was great! Servers were great and accommodated my group of 50 ppl. I dealt with Martine and she was great and easy to deal with. I definitely recommend. I'll be back!
Winston Anderson
As previous reviewers have mentioned, this restaurant is connected to a gentleman's club. When I walked in at 1730 there was a girl dancing seductively outside. I was seated and served quickly. I found an old tortilla chip in one of my salsas so I think that they get reused. Fruit flies plagued my table. One took a swim in my margarita ($13). The chicken in my fajita platter ($34) was under seasoned. The steak was perfect. The shrimp was over seasoned. I wouldn't go back.
Jesse L
What a great Mexican restaurant located on Sammy Davis jr Dr. The guys and I were our late last night and came across this 24/7 restaurant.
Great food, service and prices plus obviously great hours.
We enjoyed some awesome drinks, enchiladas, tacos and burritos.
Tim M
By far one of the most authentic and best Mexican restaurants I've been to! I love trying different mole sauces and Chef Paco has a dish called the Paco's Mole Sample with 3 mole sauces over pork or chicken. Each was amazing in their own respect. My wife had the chicken enchilada and was delighted with every bite. What topped it were the desserts!! We had Chef's Signature Nieve de Naranja & Grandma's Flan, hand delivered by Chef Paco himself! Creamy textures full of flavor and still a few days later can fast both of these desserts on my pallete. I highly recommend you wander off the strip and goto El Dorado Cantina.
Matt Krick
Some of the best Mexican style cuisine in Las Vegas! Ultra friendly staff that makes you feel down right at home. Amazing guacamole made on demand right at your table side. Really good filet mignon tacos and pork enchaladas.
Seasonal cocktails at the bar, reservations are recommended.
Vida Ochoa
The mole sauce for enchiladas was delicious n spicy but chicken was dry n there wasnt enough sauce for my liking but the beans n rice were good The filet tacos were tasty but no cilantro or onion for flavor The queso fundido was good ! It took a while to get my shot I ordered, we received the beer way before it got to our table, but server was nice n the lady who seated us, pricey for sure $$$
R M
They screwed up our reservation after my wedding. But the manager on duty got it fixed and everything set up for us
Jaclyn Paine
If you are looking for the best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas, look no further. From the start, our bartender was fantastic and took such great care of us. She made us the best margaritas (I recommend the prickly pear). We had enchiladas for our entree and they were hands down the best enchiladas I have ever tasted. The food is authentic, the service is great and the menu has an amazing variety of food. I was impressed by the amount of vegetarian/vegan options available. I am not vegetarian but my boyfriend is and they were so accomodating to seperate the refried beans from the rest of our food!!! As business owners ourselves, we appreciated the enthusiasm the bartender had when speaking about the restaurant, awards won and their plans for expansion!!! 10 stars for service!!!! 10 stars for food!!!!

El Dorado Cantina The Strip may just be the best restaurant in Las Vegas. Not Mexican restaurant, restaurant. Ivan our server was attentive, polite, efficient, everything you could want from a server. His recommendations, the chips and salsa/guacamole and Cadillac Margarita were inspired and complimented the chefs perfectly balanced meals. Delicious fillet enchiladas and a chefs special pork carnitas, the enchilada sauce is spectacular and the meats were cooked to succulent perfection. We will definitely return, thank you chef! Thank you Ivan!
Brandon Barnes
Great service thanks to Elliot & Stella! I'm from Texas so I'm not new to cantinas, but I must say this place is easily in the top 3 to date that I've been to. Hands down best flan I've ever had, I call it "renegade flan” the texture is shockingly different and pleasant. It has one foot in the past in the presentation and flavor and another in the future. Not to mention the ambiance of a modern contemporary restaurant I'd recommend this place after a night on the town or if you're like me and have a long layover and need to kill some time.
Maria Smith
Good food, great service, large tvs everywhere, and pop music. All the appetizers are good. I was not a big fan of the mahi tacos. I recommend ordering the meat empanadas over the cheese. They do not have horchata, so they offered pineapple juice.
Sara Martin
Food was very good. Location is right next/part of to the Sapphire (strip club)... So that was a surprise. We ordered via our phone at the table, so that was convenient.
Huntz Shaikz
Best service in Vegas. Johnny was our man at the bar. He recommended us the food (photo: chicken tacos and taquitos) and drinks (photo: mango and guava margarita). He was welcoming, always checking up on us, and a delight to chat to. The manager was also welcoming and kind. I was hesitant when I saw it was next to a gentleman’s club but it was totally separate from it. A nicely decorated establishment with great people.
Not A Real Name
It's a separate "room" from the strip club so not sure if that's a pro or con depending on who is reading this. Their tableside Guac is made how you want it and is as good as the rest of their food. Service was great also and I'd suggest checking them out if you're in the mood for mexican food.
Coleen Zubiate
Food was delicious, service excellent and loved the atmosphere. Would recommend making a reservation although they do have a full menu at the bar. Loved it!
Tony B
One of the best hidden gems for Mexican food. Great time to go is during happy hour with the $7 1941 shots. Can't beat that. Tuesday is when the specials go on
Pepsi Brown
This has to be the best Mexican food I have ever had. The service is excellent and the food is AMAZING! I will go back again and again.
It doesn't hurt that it's next to Sapphire's with the beautiful ladies!
Jonathan Matthews
I absolutely love this place and its my go-to when im in Vegas and craving good mexican food. I especially love the chicken enchiladas they are made perfect but while you wouldnt expect it from a mexican restaurant they have good spicy buffalo chicken wings. Also go ahead and try the tres leches dessert its so good.
The restaurant itself is located next to the Sapphires Gentlemans club so you cant really miss it and they are open 24 hours. I also like that they have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.
Diane C
Food is delicious! I ordered enchilada trio that was very flavorful. Came with 3 enchiladas; shrimp, pulled chicken & filet mignon
Tara Nicosia
Been going to ElDoardo in Tivoli for a couple of years. I loved it when Nick was the manager and now they have another fantastic Manager Jay . He’s always so professional and welcoming. He shows dedication and is passionate about his guests as well as his staff. ElDorado is a fun place to meet up with friends to have drinks and appetizers!
Yalda Nazaryan
I absolutely love thissss place.We came here for my moms birthday and it was great. They have one of the besttt tacos everrr and omg dont get me started with their fried ice cream. Also they were super friendly 😁 …
Cesar Diaz
Really nice place, food it's really good, and their salsas are great especially the green one, but the reason I like it it's because it's the only place you can order some edible crickets on habanero, really good. It's a little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, a lot of good food.
Kim Thompson
Best spot to go to during this pandemic! Booth seating has partitions also the bar is well arranged, not crowded, easy to make reservations, and nice atmosphere. The table side guacamole made by Omar was this best I’ve had in a long time. Our waiter Veronica was sweet and attentive. Food was amazing and they even surprised me with fried ice cream for my birthday. This place was what I needed to enjoy my friend’s!
Corie White (Dualnames)
Great authentic Mexican food. Had the fajitas and meat was cooked perfectly. Not tough at all, juicy and tasty.
venessa
Good food and portion size. Chips and salsa were great as were the drinks. Main meal was not as warm as I like.
Amanda Wright
Really good food! Love the atmosphere, very romantic.
Alexander Kenol
I enjoyed this establishment. Great atmosphere and my waiter was not pushy. He even advised me in the size of food I was ordering. Made a high difference. Drinks: Strawberry Mint and Empressing Gin Fizz. For meal I had the Chicken Taquitos (yum)
Cheese Enchiladas (real cheesy).
Victoria Perez
Delicious food. It's a bit pricey but the food proportion is really good. Very friendly and nice staff. We even met the chef. Restroom was clean and no sticky floors,that's and A+ in my book,lol.
Jeremy Berkley
I've had better Mexican food, the service was great. I didn't know a strip club was right next door when I booked this location for family dinner.
Daniel Ely
This place really knows how to cook Mexican food. Had the chance to talk to Chef Paco and he really shows passion on what he does.
Service is great and restaurant is super clean!
yaya comandari
Had the most amazing service started from the greeter who took her time to know our name from reservation them the service went down to Aura who seated us and offer the house famous table service guacamole as she prepared it she also give us a rounded out of the house weekly events and the waitress Emily so nice and also knew all the food we got nachos sooo good tortilla was so crunch And roasted the chicken had the taste as homemade and the shrimp fajitas was the topper of our dinner also the chef Paco stopped by our table I definitely keep this place as my family favorite
Laura McLaine
We came at an off-time (east coasters who haven't eaten all day and just landed) BUT it didn't matter. Emily, our server, was amazing - very knowledgeable, friendly, and made a damn good table-side guac! Chef Paco has got the stuff! And their vegan friendly (and vegan/gluten free friendly !!!!!) options were plentiful and delicious! Top it off with my jalapeno margarita being on special, and we might have to come back before we go back east! So, so good. A must try.
Sam
Amazing food!! Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. You have to try the pork tacos!!
Martín Gallegos
Second time going and had a much better experience. It isn't the least expensive place to eat BUT the portions are very generous and the service is good. It's been hard finding a good mexican restaurant but this spot is the new Go To for a dine in Mexican place.
Kristean Alcocer
Amazing food and drink and the ambiance is fire. Two things though, our server seemed overwhelmed and the restaurant was not jammed pack and an order of corn tortillas came out in little pieces. The carne asada had a nice flavor and on Monday’s they have $5 margaritas.
Monique Quiros
Omg! This place totally surpassed my expectations and was a good surprise for my husband and I. We tried the street tacos (one of each: beef, chicken, and pastor/pork)... Just thinking about them as I'm writing this article makes my mouth water. They were so good. They were full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I got mine more on the plain side and they were still delicious and full of flavor. The chips and salsa that comes out the beginning was also very good. It tasted very fresh. The accompanying beings that came with the street taco plate we're also great and tasted homemade. Can't wait to go back!
Annie Burger
Delicious Mexican food in a well decorated space! I loved that the food is organic, non GMO, and they have free range meat. Great for vegetarians and gluten free people too. Friendly staff.
Darline Jones
This restaurant is in the sapphire pool & dayclub lot... I dont think the average family would know this was here, but the staff was very friendly, and the food was good. Breakfast served all day. Awesome decor although I wouldnt bring kids here. A little pricey... $20 for a shrimp cocktail but they do offer what looked to be a decent happy hour, might not be a bad place for a quick cocktail. Tuesday afternoon it was pretty empty. There were only three other groups there.
Angelica Ybarra
200% props to our server Tyler (hope I spelled right) and the other handsome gentleman that was serving us today. Made my birthday super special. Food was great all around. When my picky 6 year old eats that means it was good!
Megan Barre
Aside from it being connected to sapphires, which i thought was a little odd- i love this place!! The food is ah-mazing!! And good quality! Gmo free everything! There is table seating and bar seating. The lighting is lowered to the perfect level to relax. Definately worth checking out if you've never been!
Kevin Kraft
One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas. The meat is all GMO free and fresh. My favorite dish is the the carne asada plate. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. You even have low carb options.
Xan Bennefield
I love this place. It was my third time at this restaurant. My server was very nice and friendly, the chips and salsa were delicious, my vegan burrito was on point and made me so happy! The only issue was it took over an hour for my food. If it wasn't for the fact that I know their food tasted great I would have left. I was so hungry and yes I had the chips but that's not what I wanted to get full off of. Besides that everything else was great and delicious.
Francisco Trujillo
Soups were alright but the Nachos and Veggie Burrito was on another level. Service was great...made everything right.
CM Maggio
First impression. * I flew in at 11pm and haven’t had dinner was hungry and the reviews drew me in.. but I got a seat at the bar after the front told me there wasn’t any booths for me. After waiting 15 minutes for a water to be offered or a drink from the bartender no one came up to me to serve me or ask if I wanted food.. and I got someone’s attention.. and ordered take out.. and never got my appetizer in a timely matter.. 35 minutes later I’m still waiting. They had over 5 BIG round booths available so it wasn’t incredibly busy for memorial weekend at this hour.. my observations the attitude and the approach to commuter service was a rating of 6/10.
Definitely could use some improvement and just some common sense.. at least offer me to order a drink from the bar?
It was not the spot as I had assumed
Danie Fisher
Had a party of 22 for my sisters wedding. Ivan is hand down, one of the best waiter I've ever experienced. He has given us amazing service and experience at El Dorado Cantina. He was passionate about the food and the country of Mexico. Food was amazing. Please note that the food is AUTHENTIC Mexican, not American Mexican food. And most Mexican food has spicy components to it. Recommend 10/10
Nikki H.P
First time in Vegas we choose this location to start of my birthday. The food so good. Good atmosphere. Nice staff margaritas was slamming. Thank you for making my day special
Robert Schremmer
Great food. It was busy so we sat at the bar. The service there was great.
John 3:16
Silly good! I had the chicken enchiladas with red sauce, rice and beans, and two carne asada tacos on the side. It was a masterpiece sent from heaven. If you can make it over there while you're here in Vegas, I highly recommend you do.
Curtis Brown
Great atmosphere, hostess was ok, and menu is nice. I placed an order for takeout and didn't wait long. No line to get in but does perform temp checks.
Edward Cropper
Great authentic Mexican. Wonderful Tuesday specials, of course. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.
Corey
Amazing service(!) and food. We walked out extremely satisfied with all aspects of our culinary evening! Grilled Mahi tacos were nothing short of spectacular!!!
Mike Chaplin
Pretty good Mexican food, and a couple of great margaritas. Service was very good, multiple people checked in on me to make sure I had everything I needed.
Mr. Solomon
I found this place online and the menu looked great. However, when I arrived we waited at least 20 mins before anyone came to see if we wanted to order and it was not a busy night. Two ladies came after we ordered and they got their food before my wife and I. Not sure how that happened but their carne asada was sizzling. Shortly after, our food came and it was not the best. I eat Mexican food a lot and this was my least favorite. My chicken tacos had an after taste and the shrimp enchiladas had so much cheese it was a bit overbearing. Would not go back. Waiter had no personality and did not check in to see if we needed anything. I left no tip.
Cait Demers
We have been to El Dorado several times since moving to Vegas in 2015. On our first visit back then, the place was immaculate and the Chef came out to thank us; the experience was top notch. In my past visits over the last several years, I feel it’s gone downhill a bit. The bathroom was unkempt which makes me curious about the kitchen cleanliness. The food is still decent but one margarita for $17? Maybe I am a Vegas local and I should know what strip prices are like I was quite underwhelmed my past two visits and unfortunately am unlikely to return.
Nia Triplett
Highly reconmend!!!! We made reservations a week before.The photo below is the 10 tacos one beef the other chicken. I like the beef taco better especially with a side of sour cream.
Accurate Contracting
Lobster tacos were amazing, Agua Chile was good, vegan tacos good, food was very good. Service was satisfactory but could definitely be improved to have a better experience, prices were high considering service level but food was justified. Fresh and delicious combinations, well done.
leelajeevan reddy
I generally don’t eat shrimp outside... but I saw a picture inside n made me to order n out of surprise I had full pineapple shrimp .... luckily my husband had some snack n couldn’t eat more 🤣 …
jessica thomas
The meats are marinated beautifully..amazing flavor..the rice is good also, but the beans tasted burnt
Coach Andi Petty
This is by FAR the BEST Mexican food I have ever had in Vegas. I can't believe I didn't know it existed when I lived there! We came to eat on a Saturday night around 6PM and even though they were booked with reservations, we were able to snag a seat at the bar. The house made salsas they brought out were delicious - as was the pitcher of house made margaritas. We checked in on YELP and got a complimentary flan. One of my dining partners said the churros were one of the best things he has EVER eaten. Highly recommend coming here!
German Turcios
So I took an Uber here and when we arrived I thought he took us to the wrong place cause we were at a strip club! Lol .. just so happens it's connected with the restaurant on the side. Overall food was good and margarita was great. Waiter was really friendly and attentive. I liked the ambiance.
Eunice Jenkins
We had a private room for my husbands 50th birthday and everything was GREAT! Highly recommend this as a stop when in Vegas. Food and service were outstanding!
Ivelisse Edwards
Amazing food, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Jay and Paula were great servers and attentive to our baby shower group. Thank you
kat o
Amazing carne asada chilaquiles, tacos, and burrito !!! Super authentic Mexican food (organic and gmo free) I went three times in two days. Great staff and management everyone was so nice
Wish you could open in Chicago and Los Angeles!!!!! Just as great as home cooking in Mexico
Sery Bloise Lasso
Amazing place. The food 15/10 and the serive by Osteen was outstanding. Great ambiance. Absolutely worth it. DO NOT FORGET TO TRY THE FLAN
HerMommy
This was my first time. Everything was amazing down to the rice and beans. I am already thinking about going back and taking other friends to experience the food with.
MJ
I feel like there's potential to be a great place. Just seemed like the staff was really shorthanded & therefore it was just meh. Drinks weren't filled too quickly, we had to finally say we were ready to order instead of them asking, food had the nice heatlamp crust to it not coming out quick enough.
The staff was very pleasant, and the food did have pretty good flavor and looked presentable. Potential, for sure.
The 4 star is only cause your table guac in on point! Fun to watch too. (=
hectorin505
The atmosphere here was very nice and welcoming. Our server was sweet and attentive, although because she was so busy had very little time to check on us. The food, specifically red salsa on burrito was not appetizing to us. Carne asada was very good. Maybe just a wrong choice of plates.
Romi Enders
Nice atmosphere. Justin is very knowledgeable about menu, excellent server. Upscale Mexican food. Kudos to the chef! Would definitely recommend Eldorado Cantina strip location.
Lauren Thomas
Second time I’ve been here, lots of good vegan options and a nice, although dark, ambiance.
Linda Park
Fernando our server was fabulous! Great service and attention. Really appreciate the great service foo and drinks..m
Larry Turzynski
Severely understaffed but the food is some of the best Mexican food in Vegas! Located directly next door to the Sapphire Gentleman's Club.
Veronica Walton
Super friendly cozy inviornment. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and drinks and food. He suggested the watermelon Margarita very good choice of drink. The food is over the top delicious and the prices reflect the quality of the food.
Orteel4 o
Went there super late and got great service. Chips and salsa are always fresh and consistent with the other locations. Had the vegan burrito but they ran out of the beyond meat so I asked for Mexican squash instead. Came out even better. My friends got cheese enchiladas and cauliflower tacos. All amazing. Serve good micheladas. Totally forgot to take pictures. Was too busy enjoying the food and great environment. Waitress was great.
Eli
The best Mexican restaurant in las vegas
jas dhillon
Don't let the location concern you, it's next to the Sapphire gentleman's club😅. Once you see the menu options, especially as a vegan, El Dorado is a home run for me and our group. We were give a Great service topped off with flavorful meals and complimented by good drinks to make this restaurant a memorable experience. May be bit noisy for kids .
jackso33
Great Mexican restaurant that's open 24 hours. Food is above average, employees are friendly.
Foxy Prod.
This place has the best margaritas, salsa, and Imperial Shrimp! Service is great and atmosphere is good too!
Tommy Mccoy
Everything was cooked well just wasn't anything special but the guacamole was delicious and the manager was good this place is 24hr so hell yea U would come back but not as a first choice service was about 2 stars
Amber Reese
Service a bit slow, but food and drinks certainly made up for it. Would visit every Vegas trip for the food 100%.
Vishwajeet Chitgopker (Jeet)
Loved the ambiance and food here. I ordered cilantro garlic shrimp. It was delicious.
Axel Del
Great food great service love it and that fact that they are open 24 hours it’s better then any other fast food
Bryan Wohlwend
We went here on a whim before a show nearby and we are glad we did. It was delicious!
Chef Lindsey d' Duchess
Love it so much I was there 2 days in a row. My family and came straight in off the plane with our luggage. Ivan was amazing and accommodating. Excellent customer service.
Herber Molina
Great authentic Mexican food! Definitely a most if you’re in Vegas, we tried the green posole and parrillada for one.
Strip Club Crawl
Love this place. The food is phenomenal. The carne asada platter is bomb. Must try Aguachiles!
Marie Stravlo
This place is 100% from staff to atmosphere to food. Will be back next time I’m in Vegas.
Jackie Elizalde
Love El Dorado Cantina! Their carnita tacos are delicious; I am a returning client, I always order the same thing. Tacos are the best!!
Chris Cooper
Good food, so so service. We had to wait for a few minutes for a hostess to show up to seat us. Then our waitress would disappear for long periods of time. The place is super dark like a cave. So if you've got plenty of time to kill and need a place for a clandestine meeting this is the place for you.
beth spigiel
Amazing food, amazing service. Ivan was our waiter, he was awesome!!!
D J
Very professional staff. Food absolutely as delicious as the atmosphere. 💛✨ …
Ariel Caballero
Martine, Justin, Ariel, Matt & Arianna were absolutely wonderful ! My husband and I just got married and had our reception here and we were so happy with our decision. Whoever is doing the hiring is winning. As a former bartender, I was SO impressed with the staff. They were all so kind. The food was amazing, and the inside of the restaurant is beautiful. Dont let the stripclub thats next door scare you lol. If you're looking for a great place to host an event or just grabbing some food, this is the place to go! 💓 I will be recommending to others :) thank you again !
Sala Moua
Special margaritas are a blast from the past just absolutely amazing and the food taste was amazing I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great taste and fun experience.
Michelle Cota
Very Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. I didn't realize when I googled its reviews that it was connected to a strip club but it was completely it's own separate place. I went during day and other family's were there also. The food was very uniquely good. The table side guacamole was very good also.
Vasu Kadalagere
Great food, wonderful service!!
They took very good care of a large party of 40 folks. Thanks you
Savana Crawford
The absolute BEST food I have ever eaten in my ENTIRE life. I was BLOWN away by the flavors. The shrimp enchiladas are to die for. This is not just Mexican food, they completely elevate food in a way I have never seen before. The head chef spoke to us and has an amazing story as well. I would give this place 100 stars if I could!!!!
Joan Combre
The best Mexican food ever and the Steak Enchiladas were amazing. The margaritas were fantastic. The hostess and the server were friendly and professional. They promptly take food & drink order. Also, returned to the table to see if you wanted anything else! I'll definitely be back and will recommend to family and friends!
aminta alegria
Whitney gave us an unforgettable experience for this restaurant. she's a rare gem, we were so lucky to experience her positive vibes, phenomenal service and her charm. we will be back! also Mario the head chef, makes a mean guac and vegan burrito. thanks to the whole team who made our visit amazing! Food was delicious, service was spectacular, Thanks again
Bradley
Great Mexican food in the heart of Las Vegas; just five minutes from the strip. Everything I had was great – especially the table made guacamole.
Theresa Moore
Good mahi mahi street tacos! The rice and beans are really good. Loved the jalapeno margaritas!
Jeff Leftwich
Great food and great drinks. Expect to pay a bit more than a “typical” Mexican restaurant. It’s well worth it because it’s not “typical”.
Rita Falkenberg
I called to order food to go got no response after bring on hold for what seemed like forever. Appon arrival the hostess was very unfriendly and didn't want to take our to go order. She then sent us to the bar to order to go. Thankfully our bartender was super friendly and accommodating to our "hangery" as he called it. Was super calm and accomodated my very rude friend🥴(embarrassing) I felt bad for her behavior but he handled it well which I greatly appreciate. Thank you Octavio for your hospitality service and efficient service.
Ruben Villarreal
Food is pricing but good. Only in vegas. Great atmosphere.
William Bowers
Great food, clean place, great staff. Great experience overall. Q (I think that is how you spell his name) was great behind the bar.
Victoria Jones
Absolutely fabulous experience. The Head Waiter, Tylor was the best of the best. Service, professionalism, kindness and expertise. The food was made with only the freshest ingredients and we could taste the pride that went into creating each dish. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. VJ and SH from the SF Bay Area. We will be telling all our friends about you for sure. 👍👏👌
Boyce Reynolds
Love this place. Tara is the greatest server I've ever met, she is the best! She is truly a professional mixologist. Tara makes the best drinks I've ever tasted. I'm 67 and been drinking a long time. If you want to drink with a truly wonderful server that makes you laugh and have a good time this is the place.
Julie B.
Finally made our way to this place as a local after it's been recommended to us several times. The menu is your typical Mexican food but with Strip prices! I don't think I'll be back there since I know more traditional and family owned Mexican places around town with more reasonable prices.
Alejandro Muro
The food at this establishment is AMAZING!! My wife and i enjoyed every bit of it. The only gripe i had, i had 2 margaritas... $50! Quite pricey for 2 drinks. Aside from that, i tried the chicken, pastor and asada...all of them were very delicious and cooked to perfection. Fully recommend this place.
Kamran Lalani
Definitely one of the better places in Vegas if you're looking for some great food and a place to hang out. Services always on point. Everyone's always so friendly and really nice local spot away from the strip if you're trying to get away from all the mess.
Michael R
Visited El Dorado Cantina last night for dinner. Just a short Uber ride from the Trump Hotel where we are staying. When we walked into the restaurant we were asked if we had reservations. We told the hostess that we weren’t aware that we needed reservations and we’re told that they had a large party coming in and we’re not able to accept walk-ins. Obviously, we were bummed since we had just paid an Uber driver to drop our party of 5 off at the restaurant. When we told the hostess this, she said she would do her best to work us in if any of the people with reservations didn’t show up. We sat outside and we’re promptly greeted by the Valet staff from the Sapphire Club who offered us bottled water while we waited. A very nice surprise considering it was 105 outside. After waiting only 5 minutes, the hostess came outside and said she had a table for us. We were seated and had a great meal with margaritas. I had the Cadillac margarita which was very good. Their chips and two kinds of complimentary salsa were also excellent! The manager also stopped by our table twice and thanked us for coming in. All in all, we were very impressed with our dining experience at El Dorado Cantina. Thank you!
Monee McClure
My husband and I chose to have our dinner after our wedding ceremony here. We had a total of 35 + guests and they worked with us with menu options, payments, time and date. Karen was super informative professional and helpful. The wait staff that helped my large party out was great!! It made a perfect end to our wedding day! Food was great. Music and overall atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for! So glad we found them!
Kevin Mullett (Kev)
Amazing food. The service was a little off, our server didn't want to clean the dirty plates and was a little slow. I think they were just very busy that night. The food is excellent and healthy and large portions. The margaritas are delicious, and if you go on Monday they have a deal on their house margaritas for only $5 its a steal! Its a little funky because the entrance is literally 10 feet from the Entrance to Sapphire strip club. But they are not connected just don't let that scare you away.
ANDRES MARTINEZ
Very nice my waitress Ivan Alatorre was so nice and gentle he was attentive he came to check with us if we need anything really often, in my opinion he’s one of the better waitresses I ever recommend 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kellan Bouwman
Awesome Mexican food. The mole was amazing, the very best I've ever had.
Cayla M
Great food! Highly recommend Ivan as your server especially if you want a nice cocktail and good recommendations!
Keith W
The food was good it was very very expensive for Mexican food $65 for 10 tacos yeah
Thomas Schutt
Outstanding, fresh food, generous portions, extensive tequila/mezcal menu.
Great wait staff and management. My order came out burned (mistakes happen) and our waiter Tyler caught it before setting the plate down and got a fresh serving. He comped us and management was right behind him to apologize and take care of us.
Mistakes are clearly rare here, but they look after their patrons. Again, superb baseline quality for food. Strongly recommend!
Alexander Robinson
Me and my family decided to come here before we headed back to California. The food was AMAZING! Our waiter was Tyler and his service was just as good as the food. He went above and beyond to make sure our food was out to us in a timely manner and that it was made to our likings. He made us table side guac and you could taste that it was made with care. The food we didn't finish we packed up and took back with us to LA and it still tasted just as great after we heated it lol Will definitely be coming back here on my next Vegas trip. Thanks Tyler!
K. Aragão
Good food had vegetables burrito it was to big good thing i share with my friend, need to come back for the famous flan.

Chic latin restaurant serving authentic cuisines. It's modern decor that complements the subtle ambience. Fine aromas that unexpectedly permeates the room. The exceptional service befitting a local or tourist, makes for a nice venue for business or pleasure.
Brandon Wall (Bmwall6149)
This is the greatest Mexican cuisine I have ever had the pleasure of eating. This is a must have if you love Mexican cuisine.
Andy “Alundil” Wintle
Was recommended to us by the bartender at our hotel. Flavor if the food was pretty good. I had chipotle salmon w/asparagus and broccolini. Wife has carnitas tacos. I enjoyed mined. Hers was 'ok'. The drinks were good. Service was a bit on the slow side and the restaurant was not packed or on a wait.
This party didn't matter for us, but for some it might. It is right next door to a strip club.
Franky B
Been here to celebrate this mans birthday a couple times now. The hand made guacamole is the best in the city. I can't wait to go back.
Feelgreat Again702girl
Went here for my birthday, I must say this food was delicious and fresh. Never tasted anything like it. #feelgreatagain702
Dee Brown
Great food and drinks. Terri is a wonderful bar tender
Michelle Lobato
Everything was on point from start to finish. Came in with a party of 8 for a birthday dinner. Our server, Tyler was absolutely amazing!! He was super fun, had a lot of patience with all of our questions and checked on us the whole time. Food was delicious and even the manager was running around to help the employees through the whole service. Highly recommend this place!! I will definitely be back.
Lola Allen
Great late eating spot with nice size portions. The Manager was so cool to greet.
It's Located next to a Strip Club but not in the strip club.
Nathan Maloney
The food was very good but the building connects to a strip club. Also there was about 20 drunk ladles having a birthday party. It was so loud with screaming. I would have thought management would have asked them to tone it down a little. I left with a pounding head Overall I would visit again maybe for lunch.
Tiffany Ginyard
The food and service here was excellent! Vladimir was our server and he knew his job well which further enhanced the experience. I ordered the carne asada street tacos and they did not disappoint. The meat was seasoned very well and the cilantro rice and black beans were delicious. I would definitely recommend this spot. The ambience was also very nice.
Stacey Reppenhagen
First time my husband and I have been in this place. Definitely not what I was expecting (in a good way). Our bartender (Marissa) for the time we were there was absolutely amazing. Marissa definitely knows how to make a good drink. Cocktails were on point and the food was delicious, very very filling. Keep up the great work. 😁 …
Francisco Rnelas
It is a nice restaurant sitting next to Saphire strip club. It is a family restaurant. Food tastes very original. It has a nice selection of drinks. Food menu is very diverse and tasty. Nice atmosphere.

Wow!! I love Mexican food and this place has got it going on!!! Excellent food!! Great service and a wonderful atmosphere!!! I want to give a lot more than 5 stars but that is the max!! My only disappointment is that I am too full to eat it all!! Next time I'm in Vegas this will be a definite spot on my list to eat!! Vladimir is our server and he is great!! Couldn't ask for a better more attentive server!!
NANCY G
Very surprised at this restaurant in a good way! It’s next to a strip club! Food is very delicious 🤤 highly recommend! I got trio enchilada, table side guacamole 🥑 they prepared the guacamole in front of you! Nice service! Portions very good! Clean and nice atmosphere! Not for kids obviously! 👍🏼 …

The tacos were amazing, but we were there for a wedding dinner and had to leave after the taco platter (the first one out of many) and they charged us as if we stayed for the entire dinner. Again, the tacos were amazing and the margarita was delicious. I just wouldn't want to spend $120 on 6 tacos and a margarita again, it sucks to spend that much money for my family to still leave hungry.

I have had this place countless times. They are clean, polite, professional and the food is delicious. Lots of variety and amazing flavors. Drinks are awesome, atmosphere is awesome and deserts are awesome. Definitely upscale Mexican food. Fajitas are the best Ive ever had. The workers are super friendly and genuine. My favorite Mexican food spot in vegas.
Vanessa Maldonado
Loved it. Saw a lot of reviews about the service but we went on a Sunday night and it was great. Our server did the table side guac and it was great. Loved the pozole. Want to go back again
Angela adams
Fantastic experience! Beautiful ambiance, amazing food, and even finer service. Everyone works perfectly together to serve you and your family with a level of friendliness and professionalism you just don't find anymore. Tyler and Veronica were of particular notice.. very quick service, lovely presentation, and service with laughs and smiles. This restaurant comes with a very high recommendation.
Jesse Flores
Whitney, our server and bartender was extraordinary!! Not just in her service, but with knowledge of the menu, and suggestions. ALL of her recommendations did not disappoint.
**AND ... The Vegan menu items, and options were numerous, and tasted great!
The actual vibe and atmosphere of the place was very chill, fun, and had a little mystery.

I don’t know if we had bad luck but the service was bad and the food was bad. It seems like as soon as we told Mario that we’re locals, he didn’t care to make the experience pleasurable. Which is odd because we’re searching for our favorite spot for dinner dates and this is def removed from the list. He was very curt, didn’t know about any drink specials like advertised on social media. And food was just blah. Dry nachos. Would be best with queso or cheese. Or sour cream. However had to ask for that. We tried margaritas which were good. Not strong and just overall very overpriced for the experience.
Don Martinez
Interesting food choices and traditional Mexican dishes. Both the food and the service were good. I had the mole sampler and was pleased with my choice. Three different moles all were good. It is too large for one person and should be shared. The spice level (hotness) for the dishes I tasted were in an average American range. That would be my biggest complaint, however I probably will be revisiting. I need to try some more of their extensive menu.
Leo Tolisano
Good food, good portions, but in a sketchy area and somewhat pricey
Trina Gutierrez
Great food. My only suggestion would be to worn people of the spiciness of some of the dishes. One in my group was unable to eat the refried beans which did have spice and were spicy. I enjoyed them. The service was great.
Sunny Lake Hahn
First off ... Ivan, our server, was FANTASTIC! We live nearby but hadn't been in to the restaurant (partially because it's always packed and reservations can be hard to get, and also because it is in the same building as a strip club ... but it's totally separate, so don't let that keep you away), so he gave us recommendations based on some of our favorite dishes. All of the food is homemade and/or organic and amazing. If you like guacamole, do yourself a favor and get the tableside - it's not cheap, but it's worth it. Watching Ivan prepare ours, while he explained what he was doing and how it enhances the flavor, is a great experience with an incredible outcome. I am super picky about mole and my husband is a carnitas fanatic - neither of us were disappointed at all. And bonus for the cadillac margaritas with fresh squeezed lime juice! Now that we've found it, we'll be back!
Dov Barry2
Very yummy Mexican food. Great atmosphere. This is high-end food, amazing place for vegetarians and vegans tons of options. Great place for people looking for organic green ingredients. Very tasty does not taste healthy but extremely healthy great quality I love the spot. Not cheap, absolutely worth the money.
Rose Castillo
Food was outstanding! Great flavors and staff was amazing... especially Alejandro! He was very attentive and offered to take a picture of my mother and I. Gorgeous decor at this Tivoli Village El Dorado Cantina.. which I had never heard of (tourist). We will definitely return on our next visit. Salud!
Sean Guillory
No pics but Wow! The food and service was outstanding. Best Makers Old Fashion I’ve had at any restaurant. Definitely worth a stop in to enjoy a great dining experience!! Sorry, no photos.
Gina B
Thanks to my daughter this gem was discovered. I would never have stopped if I was just driving by. The restaurant is tucked in the corner of a gentleman's club. Separate entrance of course, Lol.
The restaurant is cute and cozy. The menu offers gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes and the food is amazingly delicious.
Amongst the 3 of us, we ordered mole enchiladas, street tacos, fajita bowl and Mexican corn. There was no skimping from the kitchen. On top of all the dishes was delicious fresh and very authentic tasting, our server Vladimir was spot on on top of it.
Due to health reasons my daughter must eat gluten-free and vegan. Vladimir took the time to clarify the chicken is marinated with butter. Which is a major no, no. Vladimir suggested grilled chicken as a substitute. Believe you me, we are and especially my daughter loves him for this.
I call out to everyone, especially those with eating restrictions to seek this place out. I know we will be back.
Melony Thompson
I absolutely love this place!! Not only is the food phenomenal, but the service is impeccable from beginning to end. When my party and I arrived we were pleasantly greeted by the hostesses, who may I add were very nice! And we were immediately seated. We will definitely return!
conner staheli
This place is amazing!!! The food is fantastic, the costumer service is even better! I knew it would be a five star before we even got are food. Don't trust any bad reviews, I highly suggest this place. Even the napkins are fancy!
Joy Baum
Visited from Portland. Walking in you were greeted promptly and the service was fantastic. We had a baby with us and they were very accommodating. Even brought a little corn tortilla with some cheese in it out right away so he could eat before we ordered. We got the chicken fajitas! Probably the best I've had. Not greasy at all! Super duper good and the peppers + chicken had wonderful flavor. Then... The flan. Wow! Soooo amazing. Save room! You won't want to miss out on trying it. Trust me!
glitter girl
Made a reservation and took a while to get seated once we arrived because they said out of tortilla chips. Not sure what one has to do with the other. Took about 30 minutes to get drinks and close to an hour to get our food. I ordered fajitas they were good but super greasy for some reason. Maybe it was just an off night.
William James
The BEST Restaurant Style Guacamole! Perfect place to meet your friends before heading out for the night. El Dorado Cantina opened in 2014. It is nice to see more restaurants combine organic and non-GMO ingredients The food taste of authentic Mexican cuisine inspired by good recipes.
LA Biz
This afternoon my family and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch of burritos and table-side guacamole. The food was really excellent and not over priced for the large portions that were provided. If you're fortunate enough to get Jessica as a server it will make your day - she is friendly, efficient and ready to answer any questions you might have. If you want cheap food go to a fast food place. If you want great food with wonderful service from the staff and ambiance in the restaurant this is the place. A word of caution though, go hungry cause you sure won't be when you're finished.
Andi
They make some of the best, high quality Mexican food in Vegas! Not sure if it's still considered a "hidden" gem. The staff are so nice, attentive, and helpful with the menu. The environment is clean and the booths are so comfortable. Wish they had more restaurants across the US!
Jeffrey Michael Kidd
This restaurant is a jewel in Las Vegas. We normally eat at the resorts, but discovered this restaurant last year and have been eating here every time on our Vegas trips since. The food is very flavorful and clean tasting, and this must come from their farm to table and organic sourcing. It truly makes a difference in quality. We had the bacon wrapped shrimp and chicken tequito appetizers, and the shrimp cilantro rice and breakfast burrito entrees, with flan for dessert. YUM! All of the food was hands down the BEST food! Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was amazing, as well. Maria was polite, professional, attentive, and all around awesome! Maria was very friendly and makes this restaurant really stand out. She made wonderful food also a wonderful experience, and I would give her 10 stars if I could! We have traveled to 49 of the 50 US states, and this is one of the best restaurants and best service that we have been to. I have recommended this restaurant to family and friends visiting Las Vegas, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone else. This is truly as good as it gets!
Jane Kay
Really nice place. The food was great! I was with a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed their meals. For great authentic Mexican, give this place a try. You’ll be glad you did!
Carmen Velasquez
This is one of Vegas' best kept secrets. It is located right next to a Gentleman's Club so if your hungry for a bite to eat after an eventful night this restaurant is one I would highly suggest. If you visit after a night of being intoxicated you won't fully get to appreciate the delicious food that the Chef and his staff has to offer. So I suggest you go back once sober and enjoy! Oh and don't forget to order a Cadillac Margarita or a Prickly Pear Margarita.... Definitely the best Margaritas I've ever had.
Lisa Canales
Great Steak wraps, would have been nice to have frozen margaritas 🍹 😋. …
Pennie Gallardo
The customer service is second to none. The manager (Alex) came by several times checking on us. The wait staff was phenomenal. I highly recommend the table side guacamole. We are from Texas where Mexican food is abundant but the guacamole at El Dorado is by far the best I have ever had. It is a little pricey but WELL worth it.
Stephanie Hernandez
It was my first time there and I'll though it was in a different location that I expected, it was a great night. Happy hour was great and the manager was very accommodating to my present myself. He was very generous, ask a questions about our job, and even bought us a round of drinks on the house. Enjoyed! Definitely will go there again!
Bryan Isais
This Mexican restaurant with great comfort offers an experience of a life time. I celebrated my mothers birthday here. Staff is exceptional and all of they give out great vibes. The food is a 5 stars rating. We got to personally know the chef Mario Tapia, whom has a great understanding of mexican food. Our waiter, who is also named mario, has a great description of the food. By the way it's all naturally fresh grown ingredients on the food. This place is now and forever our traditional birthday restaurant and other especial occasions. Thank you El Dorado cantona.
Elizabeth Hewko
This place has amazing food and drinks. We got the shaved Mexican corn to start. It was scrumptious. For our meals we have cheese enchiladas, steak enchiladas, and nachos( they were huge). The Cadillac margaritas were excellent. If you like strong drinks, it's definitely the perfect option. The fried ice cream was the best I've had. Camille was an amazing server. She is so funny, attentive, and sweet. We will definitely be back to see her!
Sara R
I have been to this place a few times when I’m in town. The bartenders are marginally attentive which I why I give them 4 stars. They didn’t seem enthusiastic to serve me or answer my questions. However the food was excellent - I had the veggie salad with steak added on- and chips and guacamole. The salad was delicious and flavorful with large cuts of fresh grilled veggies! The steak definitely was a higher quality then most and tasty. I would definitely go back here.
Ben Mbong
The food was good. . .clean interior. . .
But, we got our food with no napkins. We had to ask for some, then when they brought the food, no forks/spoons/knives. Again we had to ask for them b4 they would give it to us.
Strange. . .
Joshua Rivas
my girl and I ate here one time late night and she loved it. said the food made her feel like home. definitely a must when we come back. the staff was also very friendly and professional. good vibes all around.
Ryan Spratt
This place is top-knotch. From the minute you walk in until you leave you are treated well. We had Vladimir as our server, hands down 1 of the best servers we’ve ever encountered. He was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and really took the time to make sure you knew what you were ordering. Lastly the food you can tell is cooked fresh, and not frozen! One can actually taste the ingredients and all of it flows together well. Thanks for a wonderful experience, and us Iowa folks will definitely be back again next time we are in town! Ask for Vladimir you will not be disappointed!!!
Jackie Giddy
I'd the mexican tuna appetizer and the trio of enchiladas for dinner. Both were delicious. Also on Mondays they've $8.00 flavored margaritas. The guava margarita was my favorite. I highly recommend this place for the great atmosphere and food.
Derreck Callahan
Food here is always amazing. The guacamole is to die for and you can get some chopped peppers on the side if the table has different spice preferences. I've been here a few times, and I always get tacos, and they are absolutely delicious everytime. I recommend ordering the pickled veggies to top off the tacos as well 😋 …
Natalie Gonzalez
This was the most incredible Mexican food I have every had ! Everything from start to finish was beyond amazing . Our waiter , Ivan , was so incredible and accommodating. He had amazing food and tequila recommendations and treated us like friends . Over New Years weekend we ended up here twice- we couldn’t stop thinking about the food ! Highly recommend the shrimp enchiladas . The location is also open 24/7 which is incredibly convenient !
Michael Jordan
My significant other and myself were just visiting and searching for a venue to eat and we wanted to go out to eat instead of eating inside one of the casinos and leaving the restaurant and smelling like cigarettes. From the moment we walked into this establishment we felt very welcomed. The staff is extremely friendly and to our surprise the executive chef came out personally to greet us which was amazing. The food is impeccable and hands down some of the best we have ever tasted. The ambience is perfect it truly captures a peaceful essence. I would reccomend bring all family and friends to this fine establishment. If people are not aware this restaurant is located along the strip. Don't mind the parking. Coming from the restaurant industry we are thoroughly pleased in every single aspect. Even admiring the bar's presentation of their arrangement and placement of each liquor. This is one of the cleanest establishments we have ever set foot in and will definitely come back in the future!!!
Sarah Lord
Good service, okay food.
Joel Garcia
Delicious and authentic food. Booth was a little uncomfortable for a group of five and the lighting was a little too dim. Staff was courteous and attentive.
Sarah Hillman
We had dinner here with my whole family after my sister's wedding. The margaritas were delicious, as was the food. Portions were sizable (I had a vegetarian burrito which was super yummy) and the churros served for dessert were delicious!
Mel M
Great service, Jeffrey was our waiter. Food and margaritas were average. We had Mole and chicken enchiladas and a pitcher of house margaritas. Prices are a bit high for average food. This restaurant is attached to a strip club and has the decor to match. Overall nice atmosphere. Its open 24 hours so may be a good place to go eat after a late night out.
Austin Wilson
Fantastic food, my al pastor tacos with fresh pineapple were amazing and really well balanced. My wife also loved the abundance of real vegetarian options available and said the vegi chili relleno and spinach enchilada were both delicious. Drinks were also great although a touch on the expensive side, even considering the price point of this restaurant.
Service was excellent. The manager was visible and interactive both with customers and staff, ensuring a good experience. The bar even offered to make me a chilada from scratch after I asked if their recipe contained clam juice, which it did.
All staff wore masks and masks were required by patrons while moving around the restaurant. Large plastic dividers were in place between the booths as well.
All around great experience. Please don't be discouraged by the location being attached to Sapphire, this is not a place you want to miss.
Liberty Aldrich
Absolutely Loved our dinner here last night. It was wonderful to find a restaurant that sourced Non GMO & organic foods. It had such a lovely ambience, & wonderful food!! I loved the chicken fajitas. Service was fantastic as well and we felt the prices were on point. We would definitely visit again.
Karin Ambrose Tomcik
Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The organic menu is extensive and features traditional Mexican dishes along with innovative burgers and more, all served 24/7, including breakfast items. Chef Paco and his team at incredible and treat everyone like family. Great atmosphere, plenty of parking easy access for locals and tourists alike.
Zubair Ali
Great food and great service!! Located directly nextdoor to the strip club so be careful to walk into the correct door on the left to enter the restaurant!!
Amando Cordero
Hostess was not the friendliest a greeting would of been nice. The setting is very dim lighted so bring your flashlight. The food was not bad but they kind of short you out of the meat if you order burritos. Be careful when they tell you “I’m going to bring you another round of chips & salsa” just ask if your going to get charged for it cause the menu says their is a charge. Pay attention to your bill! cause you might be overcharged for something you didn’t exactly order.
Vince Ibarra
So delicious! My wife had the birria tacos and she loved them. I had a carne asada burrito and it too was great! The kids loved their cilantro lime rice and quesadillas and chicken tacos. Friendly staff, who was on it by keeping fresh beverages coming. Will definitely be back!
Ruth Farias
Boyfriend and I had a fun time. We were here during Valentines Day; the ambience was fun and intimate. Great music playing and our waiter was funny and attentive. Food was delicious and drinks were well balanced. Will definitely be coming back when in town.
David J.
The service and fair was exceptional. The prices are about what you'd expect for a venue just off the strip. The television programs they have available are very good and the wait staff is attentive and friendly. Absolutely a must see for tourists and a good place for locals as well. Best for a date night or a night out with friends.
Denise Figueroa
The food can only be described as mediocre. The cost is extremely high and they nickel and dime you for everything. They ask you to write a 5 star review, hence all of the good reviews. Go somewhere else for better Mexican food and more reasonable costs. Don't be fooled by all of the 5 star reviews they are not legit. The food is not terrible but definitely not great. Just average.
Amber J
Sooooo delicious. Spinach poblano Enchiladas with added steak were Gluten Free and delicious! Even short staffed the customer service was spot on! We LOVED it!!
Harold Dutch
Good food, great atmosphere, the only thing that lost one star was the lack of waitresses, but that is nothing unusual in this time in age.
Nelson Mejia
Had dinner here while on a business trip. Lighting is dim, but worked well for the ambiance in this restaurant. The fajitas are delicious and the margaritas are as well!
Lilian Small
Let me start by saying the food was excellent, and I mean nothing could have been better. We did not have reservations but we had a table in a very short time. The only reason I am not giving a 5 star rating to this establishment was the extremely poor service of our waiter. We finished our chips and salsa before we ever recieved our water, then once we ran out had to flag down another waiter to refill. The wait was the same for the ticket. Our waiter was too interested in standing outside and talking to the ladies coming in and out to wait on tables. Other than the service of waiter I highly recommend this restaurant for some of the best Mexican food I have had.
Sunflower Compassionate Company
I would first like to say the environment is welcoming, after a slight hiccup from our first server. The restaurant manager Omar Villanueva and second waitress Emily were able to save the night with their excellence in customer service and management skills. Second. The food was absolutely amazing and exceptionally large portions. El Dorado Cantina is hand down one of the most authentic Mexican restaurant food experience that I've had in over 20 years. When you visit ask for Omar and tell him Rachel Shelly Lee sent you.

I've wanted to come here for a few years. I live closer to the location at Tivoli Village and since I absolutely LOVE the Summerlin location I was really excited to try the original location and suggested it to a group if 6 other out of town guests in my group. I'm sad to say it was only OK. The waitress had a blank look on her face as if she was on something. She couldn't answer basic questions and would trail off her sentences and walk away without answering our questions. The street corn was very dry with tiny kernels, but the flavor was good. I had the filet mignon tacos which are beyond excellent at the Tivoli location, but only decent at this location. The manager (Mr . Woods) was very cool and offered to remake the corn as a bowl dish vs on the cob and it turned out much better. I unfortunately can't recommend this place over the other location, but for being open 24 hours it's not all bad. FYI it's located at the Sapphire gentleman's club. I mention this because I passed it 3 times not knowing. The Uber driver for the rest of the group originally took them around back for the club when they were trying to explain they were going to El Dorado Cantina.
Zom Sawyer
I went Monday and I love that locals are half off its an amazing deal with amazing food. This is now my favorite place to eat, I had the pineapple shrimp and my wife had the chicken enchiladas we both tried each dish and it was incredible, you can tell the staff takes pride in their work. The chef has done a great job with putting the plates together and the margaritas are amazing. I will be back and I will be telling all of my friends about this unique restaurant.
Todd May
The restaurant decor was really beautiful but the staff provided top notch service. The guacamole was made at table side and was the BEST guacamole I've ever eaten. The hostess recommended the Carne asada street tacos and they did not disappoint. I would recommend anyone visiting Las Vegas to eat at this restaurant. It's very popular with the locals.
Brianne McCasland
Luis provided excellent service! He was prompt and courteous. Sometimes when you go to a bar by yourself, you are overlooked. Luis ensured I had a great time and a delicious meal. I can't wait to return
Ben Sherrin
Well, I thought the wife was taking me someplace else... I was a little disappointed that it was just lunch, but the awesome food made up for it.
ZuZu Vibes
Ivan gave great service, the food was delicious. I'll definitely go back again
Shaleana Berkeley
Best food. Best service. El Dorado Cantina is a gem. If you want some AMAZING Spanish cuisine, this place is a must. #1 Tyler was my server and he was so professional, attentive and he made my dinner so enjoyable and I'm hard on servers so for me to say that means he was more than exceptional. #2 The food was so fresh, meat was tender and flavorful. #3 the drinks were BOMB, get the cranberry margarita and the table side guacamole. Trust me, you will thank me later.
J Gotaas
Finding it was confusing, but worth it. It's attached to a gentleman's club, but don't let that stop you. There were a couple of large parties, so service was initially delayed, but the quality of food made up for that. Reviews are excellent, and rightfully so. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed.
Troy Peterson
We all had different flavors of enchiladas, all were delicious. The margaritas were great, a little pricey, but worth it. We would definitely come back. Great food!
Gustaf Gabriel
Place looks a little sketchy from the outside. In the same building as a strip club, and the club has a much bigger sign! Started off the chicken taqueria. They were huge! Good taste and moist chicken. The initial basket of chips came with both a green and a red sauce. Both excellent and not too hot.
Tammy Maestas
Food was excellent, staff was very friendly ,service was quick, great atmosphere
Trecia Scott
Loved the atmosphere, the ole time music was perfect. I ordered the guacamole it was yummy. The fajitas we're ordered chicken, shrimp and steak. The steak was my favorite. My granddaughter took me here for dinner thank you Alexis for a good time.
Kevin Leyton-Brown
Loved it—amazing food and great for vegetarians
Kim d
First time we came here, walked in and the place was so nice! It was busy and took a while for us to get seated so we sat ourselves. The manager (didn't know till after) was serving us all night. She was so kind and patient with us. Came to our table many times to check on us. The food was good I got full so fast. After she came to us with our bill and a free flan saying dessert was on her. Can't believe how amazing we were treated! We got so lucky on our Vegas trip. We will come back :)
Pretty “Prettypizzazz” Pizzazz
Whenever in the las Vegas area I would not hesitate to dine here. The service provided by Tyler was impeccable. The food extremely tasty. I was totally impressed. I would recommend the chicken and steak fajitas and mango cadillac margarita. Thank you Tyler for a wonderful experience..
jackie magana
Just had dinner here tonight with 6 other friends, the mole enchiladas were amazing! Jeff was our waiter, excellent service. We asked him questions about the menu and he was very informative. We will definitely be back.
danielle pysher
The reason I’m giving it 5 stars was because our waitress, Emily was amazing, professional, and made my birthday dinner feel special! 100% recommend everyone to request her! However the hostesses upfront did not make us feel very welcomed.. they asked if we had a reservation when we walked in and to be fair we didn’t have one, but as we were standing there we were able to book a reservation for 15 minutes later. They didn’t even ask if we wanted to wait. As we were seated at our table ( we were seated by host stand), we watched people with no reservation being able to be seated right away. Just made us feel uncomfortable and off putting. Again, Emily was amazing and food was incredible!
Brady Nielsen
Fantastic off-the-strip Mexican food. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing - especially the rice that comes with almost every meal. Inconveniently located next to a gentleman's club. Look sharp or you might miss it.
Tawnya Kohrdt
Excellent dining experience. Top notch service at the table.
We really enjoyed the Carnitas Street Tacos, & Tableside Guacamole. My wife is in love with the Verde Sauce, the Red salsa was very good too. Both were med/mild, but intensely flavored. Everything we ate was fresh and flavorful. I can't remember a time where the servers and staff were as nice and on top of drinks (water only for us) and anything else we wanted.
Sorry, no pics, we ate it all!
Tabatha Salas
Ericka was our server and she gave amazing recommendations. Great food great price.
g gerl
Great food, nice location. Use to have awesome tequila Tuesdays but got downgraded if they still do at all
Angie Dalman
Great food, nice atmosphere staff was very pleasant. Tuesday deal $6 for shots of Don Julio 1942. I loved the jalapeno margarita, very refreshing. The only thing it was slightly humid. I will be back.
Roberto Contreras
We had dinner late the day we arrived in Vegas Sunday. The food was outstanding and our server I believe his name was Tyler was a cool dude. I'm very picky with Mexican and in my opinion it was the best I ever had.
Marina
Soooo good. I ordered shrimp enchiladas. I love spicy but it was just a tad bit tooo spicy for me but overall great. We came on a Tuesday so we had $7 tequila shots!!!
Isa D.
Thanks Alejandra Z. Your amazing ! Food recommended is soo good! Snd I believe that all the food here are really good and worth to order everything! The best mexican food that we ever had. And the best servers too!
Amy Tang
Came here for Cinco De Mayo with a group of 11. It's was pretty funny pulling into the parking lot of Sapphires. My friend was so hesitant to get out her car because she had her kid with her. LOL. The entrance is actually right next door to the entrance of the strip club.
Upon entering he atmosphere was busy and lively. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Our server was Juan and he made sure we had the best service!
The food was pretty decent. I highly recommend the table side guacamole and if you're daring, try their grasshopper dish. Deep fried and super flavorful. It's not as bad as people think. I also absolutely recommend their flan!! Probably the best I had in town.
Lillian Fujii
Awesome service, nice food, amazing raspberry Margaritas... Had a blast with my friends 😍😍😍.... We will return soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yadi Yadi
Amazing food and amazing service. Definitely will be back
Nancy James
This restaurant has great reviews and to be honest - it earns them. We were early for our reservation and had a cocktail at the small bar at the front. The steak is so good that most people at the bar are eating - probably because they couldn't get a reservation. The server - a charming man from Chicago area...
Cedric Epps
Great atmosphere in the restaurant was great. However the cilantro rice was undercooked and under seasoned. The pulled chicken was outstanding, but the chicken fajitas were burned. I would come back next time I'm here.
Kapil Bhagat
The tacos are good and we got some free chips and salsa while we waited for the tacos to come out. Place is open late i think we went here at like 3am because i got a craving for tacos. The prices here are pretty high. The tacos we're like $14 for 3 tacos which is definitely on the higher end. It's also right next to the strip club. Like the buildings are connected so it's like dinner and a show
Matthew Mason
Wow! This place is amazing. Our server, Shawn patiently and expertly guided us through the menu and his recommendations were spot on. The fajitas was a huge dish full of flavors. I highly recommend this as a must for anyone travelling to Las Vegas. We will be back! Thank you Shawn!
Anthony Savalier
Everyone and everything was amazing.
Daniel Horne
This is one of the better restaurants I’ve been to and I’ve been in vegas my whole life. I guess that all reflects on the leadership around there.
The food was good and came out fast and the price is just right. I highly recommend.
Cory L
Absolutely zero cons come to mind. It's hilarious parking at the strip club to walk into this place as they share the same building.
Pros:
Perfect service, quick, friendly, not too invasive, not too distant.
The second best Mexican food I've ever had. I would try anything from here.
Huge portion sizes
Try the house made drinks
Ana Maria Meza-Andrade
Asada and chicken had really great flavor. The rice and beans had good flavor especially the rice. Although food came out cold... Salsa was good. Service was sub par.
Anne Tudek
The ambience & decor are great however, two of us sat at the bar and it took forever to get our food and drink order in. We were acknowledged and given water only. By the time we ordered and the food came it had been longer than it should've been. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with black beans and rice and the rice was crunchy and the beans seemed to have been sitting for a while. Once I finished eating, I slid my plate and napkin forward but my plate sat there until after we left. The enchiladas were good but, not for $18; I think it's a little too pricey and even though the employees are nice, the customer service in terms of attention to the patrons (at the bar anyway), is very lack luster. If youwant to try it but have somewhere to be, go there 2 hrs ahead of time just in case.

Not at all what I expected.. Great staff and Shawn was hands down one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. The food was some of the best Mexican Food I’ve had in a awhile. The only thing I recommend is bigger signs because the sapphire club hides this awesome restaurant and remove that silly palm tree that blocks the tiny sign on the side of their building. Lol

Although prices were a little higher than I had anticipated the food was solid. If you are a local with a NV ID, they even have specials on certain days. Don't be discouraged as this place is within the same building as Sapphires Club (my favorite) yet separate completely.
Executive Chef came out and greeted us thanked us for coming and actually provided us with dessert (in all fairness one of the gentleman were with was a professional pastry chef and I think they overheard us speaking about why he was in town. Nevertheless, a true class act & gentleman for coming out and shaking every one of our hands. Any of the tacos were delicious but the guacamole was exceptional! A must have.
I would go back just for the professionalism. Nevertheless the food was very good and I'll be visiting that place again.
Oh yeah on Taco Tuesday, they have $5 1942 shots. WHAAAAAAT!!!
Thanks El Dorado Cantina Team. See you soon.

On break from filming in Las Vegas for dogartfilms.com we had a great meal.
Leonardo was our waiter and was very attentive and friendly.
Gabriella Brandon
I go there for the fish tacos! They're the best I've ever had!
BJ Ersery
Fantastic food, large portions, & good prices. I had the street tacos and they were probably some of the best I've had. Other girl in our group had guacamole we were all impressed how they made it right of the table. Vegas is about a one time of year event & we had never been here before we will definitely return again next year.
Adria Adams
Shrimp burrito was 10/10. So good. The food was all awesome, but the chips were a tad greasy. The prompt service and great atmosphere definitely make up for that though. Would definitely come back!

We had one of the best dinners ,,,,,,ever ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Me and my son loved it. From the girls at front to the waiters, helpers , Assistant Managers and Managers; Im so thrilled, pleased and satisfied to have the opportunity to be in your Opening.
Special thanks to Daniel, Alex Chavez and Miguel, our wonderful server tonight 😁
Thanks 😊 for your outstanding service, exquisite food, good taste in decoration and working as a Team to make of this night ; the best we all could have 👍🏻♥️😊

Walked in without reservations. We got dropped off by an Uber. We were told they didn't have a spot until after 9pm. We walked out the door wondering where to go. The hostess came after us and asked we got dropped off there. When we told her we had, she squeezed us in. Definitely awesome of her to do that!

Me and a friend have been visiting this place 1-2 times a month for the last year and the food as ALWAYS amazing. Some folks may complain about the price, but I think it's just right for the fantastic flavour and decent portions. The service can be slow due to under-staffing, particularly late at night, but we always strike up conversation with the servers and they're always extremely attentive and friendly so we feel that makes up for it. Really one of my go-to late-night places.

The food service and quality of the food is more than decent. The servers working in this place are quite friendly. They helped clarify any menu item that seemed obscure and they even serve vegan alternatives.
I had the breakfast torta and it was pretty well-made, although the chorizo could have used a little more spice. It was light and fluffy, but overall above okay.
Only personal issue (and this does not account for the four-star rating) is that I needed to be about 75m away in order to recognize the place. Not only it was well-hidden, it is literally embedded in a nearby gentleman's club (or strip club as some would say). I have anxiety about going in the area and maybe a bigger sign out the front would have been nice.

Margaritas by the pitcher!!!! This place is attached to sapphire which is also always a good time! The food here is delicious for takeout delivery or dine in!!! Taquitos, fajitas, tableside guacamole, everything is delicious! Great service and great atmosphere!
Mike Wu
A really good Mexican food restaurant. The ambience is really nice. Beautiful lighting and tables, and very comfortable seating. The food is organic and nonGMO and also more importantly tastes great. The only downside is the area is kinda sketchy. Hard to get to if you're a tourist (wouldn't recommend walking) and I wouldn't feel safe coming at night. Otherwise, it's a great restaurant.
Kareem Charles
Had the chicken taquitos & they were amazing. I don’t even like avocado 🥑 sauce or pico de gallo but I ate EVERYTHING that came on that mf 😫. Should’ve taken pictures but I am tipsy 🥴 & hungry 🤤. Please, come to this place that is next to an adult club, they are worth it with authentic Mexican cuisine. …
Paul E
Best staff in the business. Bartender Whitney is 10 Stars in customer service and professionalism. The food is excellent and the margaritas are on point. Locals spot. 24 hours. Great breakfast.
Jordan Dunn
Delicious Mexican food. Very friendly staff. Managers even checked on the table several times, ran our check through and brought us to-go containers so we were not waiting for the waiter to return. Tableside guacamole was incredible! If we lived here would be our go to for Mexican.
Chihuahua Rescue Indiana Inc
Tremendous food. The tableside guacamole was a treat. Taco Tuesday was an unexpected delight, we tried all 6 types, and then the premium Tequila for a a special price was so nice too. My daughter had the jalapeno margarita. Everything was terrific!
Christina Bolton
I ordered the carne Asada and my husband got the steak and shrimp fajitas and they were amazing. Everything was so wonderfully seasoned and they used colossal shrimp for the fajitas! Our waiter, Victor was suburb! We had a great time!!
Ian Welsh Boy
Absolutely fab food. The waiter was really attentive. Having travelled across the US a number of times I would rate this place as one or maybe the best. Loves the background on the origin of the food as we are very much into non GMO and free range. A must visit if you want top quality Mexican food at reasonable prices.
Dale Evans
Very good Carne asada tacos and guacamole plus 3 great salsas ... stop by you'll love it !!!
Brian Smith
Best guacamole ever!!!! The octopus and chorizo tacos are absolutely amazing. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought about ordering them until the waitress recommend them. Excellent, food, service and atmosphere. One of my favorite Vegas restaurants.
Eduardo Reyes
One word to describe the whole place, EXCELLENT. This is an authentic Mexican Food Restaurant, not like other type of restaurants claiming to be"Original Mexican Restaurant "🤣🤣🤣.
Mr Borum
What a great place to eat. It's tucked away from the busyness of the strip. Emily was a delightfully friendly and polite waitress. She was informative and patient as we navigated the menu. We wound up getting the steak and chicken fajitas. The plate was steaming when it came out and the food didn't disappoint. If you're in Las Vegas it's a must. Check episodes of Taco Trip on the cooking channel if you want a sneak peak.
Doug Orr
Driven by this place countless times, never knew it was there. Sapphire strip club over shadows it. You park in the same lot.
Got seated right away, food was good, the rice excellent. No salt and pepper on the tables you gotta ask for it. Did not have ground beef tacos. Food to me was good, but it was a bit bland tasting. Portions good, no room for dessert. Sangria was good. Service was ok, could have been a little bit better. It got busy about 630, good clientele.
Overall, I have no problem going back here . A little pricy.
Mary Herr
Good for families, kid friendly, good food options, tasty, would appreciate print out menus
Jonathan Holzer
A bit over priced for what you get but the food was good not great. Margaritas were very fresh and very grateful. 5 star margs for sure. Wait staff was helpful and very friendly as well.
Dan Blevins
Fantastic food and atmosphere. Service presentation top notch. This is a must for the price! Get the leches flan or phu. Prolly not spelled right. It's incredible comes with chocolate salty balls, for us south park fans, literally pieces of sea salt covered in a crispy light chocolate. Delectable, I will be back
Sherry Kraus
Don't let the location scare you! It has nothing to do with the adult club in the same building.
The service was very good. The drinks were very tasty. I asked if they had pineapple margaritas. They didn't have it one the menu, but they made a delicious one nonetheless.
The tableside guacamole was a good start. Everyone's meal was tasty, but I mine was the best. I had the carne asada. It was delicious! It was also a generous portion. Bonus!
Cici Clark
I had the cauliflower tacos!! Vegetarian here. Those were the best tacos ever!! The Mexican street corn was to die for as well! I'm stuffed and already can't wait to go back next time! Oh and the table salsa was incredible as well..
Melanie Evans
First off GET THE FLAN! It's amazing! The whole dinner was amazing! Veggie enchiladas were terrific and my husbands veggie burrito so delicious
The service was the best I've seen in many years. Enrique was so nice and we felt like he cared about our experience. Chef Paco came out and brought us the Flan which is a family recipe and we sure did taste the family love in it. We will be back every year we are here!
Brit Gibson
The food was amazing and our waitress Veronica was personable and lovely to meet. She took the time to make sure none of the food had things my son is severely allergic to and it helped this mom relax and enjoy.
Katherine Campbell
Dinner was fantastic! Service was great, especially the GM - Doris! She got us in without a reservation and came to our table to chat with us about our trip. We'll definitely visit again before we leave.
Mariana Pliego
Over priced but play good music. Drinks are ok.
W. Mint
Open 24 hours and one of the best Mexican joints in Vegas, but you do pay a bit of a premium- more of a special night out place vs weekly Mexican food stop. The food quality is amazing, classic selections made even better with higher quality meat cuts, and amazing flavorful sides that are normally just on the plate - not a talking point. Their white rice is the best I have ever had. They have an Express location across from city center, great for food delivery and quick stop. Prices were on par with a chipotle at the Express stop.
Laura Weldon
The best Mexican food hands down! Decently priced. Great flavors. Superb service. It is in the same building as a gentlemen's club but is a separate establishment. Inside it's definitely family friendly. Just in an odd location.
Marcus Fender
This isnt your run of the mill Mexican restaurant. The portions are large, the corn tortillas are fresh, the guacamole made at your table, and the food is incredibly delicious! Chef Paco even comes to your table to ask about your dining experience. You can tell that this food is cooked with love and it shows because in my opinion, it's the best Mexican food in Las Vegas. They also have a huge gluten free menu which is the reason I went to begin with. In the future, this will be my go to for delicious Mexican food! Thank to Paco and the staff for an amazingly delicious dining experience!
Joshua Oxendine
Amazing decor. The steak needs to be prepared properly.
Rebecca Rhoades
Good food although I do not really like mexican food. However the chef separated the ingredients as I requested so I could taste-test before eating them. Thank you chef. Service was good and we did not have a long wait for food. Enjoyable experience.
Caroline Berry
Delicious! But note its next to a strip club. We weren't aware when we decided to go. Was a little weird but the food was worth it. Was tired of strip food that was mediocre and way overpriced. This place was amazing because I'm gluten free and everything was labeled!! I couldn't decide what to get- my only complaint is that they don't have a combination platter. We started with nachos which were huge and delicious. Then I choose taquitos as my meal. They were so yummy. My friends got enchiladas and a veggie bowl which they both couldn't finish because the portion was huge. My friend's husband got a burrito that was enormous but he housed it and seemed happier than he had been all trip. If you like spicy margaritas, try the habenero marg. And if you do want to go to the strip club, just show your receipt. Happy eating!!!
I Travel
Food is always delicious it sucks that they are low staff or at least the night I went the waiters customer service was amazing but he was handling too many customers at the same time. Can't wait for lazy people to go back to work so the ones working don't have to do double the work.
Lilly Guilliams
Slightly overpriced. Husband and I both ordered street tacos, which is an order of 3, without beans or rice(which was $4 extra and mediocre, according to friend that got them), and 2 drinks. Bill was about $40 before tip. Tacos were delicious but definitely could have gotten more bang for our buck elsewhere.
manny ponce
We joined a good friend here for his wedding reception, the guacamole was amazing!
Kyleigh Holm
My boyfriend, his family, and I came out to Vegas to celebrate our birthdays. Emily was a wonderful waitress and recommended amazing appetizers, such as the Imperial Shrimp, and entrees [Street Taco's and Chipotle Chicken were fantastic]! The staff even surprised us with birthday cake and wished us well!
Maria Deblassie
Great Mexican food! Extremely authentic, and for September and October they have a special menu to celebrate Mexican Independence! It's a little on the pricey side where a special dish is $20 but the portions are good. Good and varied selection of margaritas and I was pleasantly surprised to see they have good quality liquor too. Good bang for your buck in general. You will leave satisfied, just remember if you are looking for good street tacos order the Cochinita Pibil or go elsewhere.
Our server Maria was exceptional!
