Me and my wife have eaten at this restaurant maybe ten times since it has opened. The food is always good and the fresh avocado is amazing as you can see in the picture and I’m not an avocado person at all. The steak was magnificent and the rice and beans went well with the meal. We will continue to eat here multiple times a week.

An amazing authentic Mexican restaurant in Plattsburgh 😇😇 We made reservations and loved the decor of the restaurant but it’s the amazing staff that really makes this venue very special ❤️❤️ The best part is that they make the fresh guacamole in front of your eyes ❤️❤️ From the drinks to the main meals and dessert each bite was phenomenal and our full compliments to the chefs for making such exquisite incredible food 🙏🙏 A great 11/10 authentic restaurant and we cannot wait to come back and try other items on the amazing menu surrounded by a great staff and greater service 😇😇

Newly opened in Plattsburgh, El Dorado Mexican Restaurant is a delightful addition to the area. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. The food is flavorful, fresh, and truly authentic—my favorites were the tacos and enchiladas. The restaurant has a comfortable seating arrangement with ample space, and the parking area is convenient, which makes dining stress-free. Being a new place, a few spots felt slightly crowded, but that doesn’t take away from the overall experience. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning soon!

Went on my Birthday. I just don't get out much anymore. But I'm so happy that I did. Staff was very helpful and polite. They are very tentative and knowledgeable. Food was great. Way more than you can eat 😜. Please just do yourself a favor and get up there and see what is good 😊
