We stopped at New El Dorado Mexican Restaurant as that is what my son said he wanted. I like Latin food in general as long as... it's not Taco Bell. The restaurant was very cool looking from the outside. Going in they have fish ponds with beautiful big loiand gold fish .There looks like outdoor seating possible. We went inside and it got even better. The El Dorado is gay fiestadecorations in Mexican flare. The hand painted Tables and Chairs are totally great looking. The menu had lots of authenticdishes all at medium to good prices. The food came out hot and delicious . Now my Mexican Ribeye steak with melted cheese andgarlic onions and mushrooms tasted muy bueno. One son got Beef Ribs cut thin .Good but my steak was better. My other son gotFajitas . They where as good or better than any Fajitas I had anywhere with good size portions for all ordered. Read more

This place is really beautiful and the food is so good and authentic! The price is just right and you get an over abundance of... food. The waiter was as nice as he could be. We will be coming back! Read more

Some of the best Mexican food in Northern Florida in such an unexpected location. Their fajita nachos are terrific and their... birria tacos are in top 3 that I've ever had. They got their start at the beginning of COVID pandemic so they weren't able tofully renovate their restaurant property but don't let the decor fool you, the food is absolutely delicious and top tier. Youwill be happy that you came. Read more

This is THE best Mexican restaurant in town. My wife and I remember this place from when it was Miraku Hibachi, we had cherished... memories there, and after a long wait we are not disappointed for what this place become. It's much better than any otherMexican restaurant in town by a LONG SHOT!!! The salsa is perfect, the chips are fresh and thick, the extra sauces they bringyou are perfect for adding spice and smokiness to the salsa for added flavor. The scallops are INCREDIBLE, my wife doesn'tnormally eat them but loved them here. We tried a lot of items and nothing was sub par! The tilapia and peppers are outstanding,surprisingly great and cooked to perfection. Every flavor had just a little something extra to it, elevated. The enchiladas withthe red mole is a phenomenal combination that will keep us coming back over and over again. We asked for extra sour cream andshredded cheese when ordering and they brought out so much extra than other restaurants, about 4xs as much. The portions arehuge and the prices are rock solid and standard for Mexican, maybe even slightly cheaper than staples like Peppers! Please, doyourself a favor and just go, the servers were fast and on point and we can't think of a single complaint. Even the pulledchicken taco was fantastic!!! 10/10, 5/5, will absolutely be going back again and SOON! Read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Pictured: chips and salsa, birria tacos (weekends only), fried mojarra, and ribeye... Florida. Highly recommend!! Read more

Wanted to try something off of the beaten path and came across this restaurant. They weren?t serving alcohol so if you want a... margarita maybe call first. Not a big deal for us as we were traveling so couldn?t have something anyway. I got the stuffedpepper and my husband had the veggie burrito. Both were ok. Not mind-blowing but not bad either. Service was slow but that seemsto be the norm everywhere lately. Bathrooms were tired looking and a little in the dirty side. Hope they can keep it going.Seems like they are in the middle of changing owners or something. Read more
