Our server was great! She was nice, checked on us and refilled our waters frequently. Entrees: - Pabellion Criollo: meat was a little too salty for my friend's taste but she said the rice balances it out really well. They accommodated her request for scrambled instead of fried eggs. - Asado Negro: Sooo good. It was like, beef and gravy, but better. They allowed me to sub the beans for extra rice - Surf and turf sandwich: Hubby said it was okay but adding more of the green sauce helped a bit - Filet mignon (can't remember the exact name): our other friend liked his staff as well! They also accommodated his request to have the egg on the side. I guess it could be a hole in the wall place since it's in an unassuming small business strip but the music was good and everyone loved the food! Be warned: there is only 1 bathroom so plan your potty break accordingly...

For lunch, I made ordered the Naked Burrito. It has the contents of the burrito but no tortillas to make it, made into a salad. They serve with a variety of dressings. The service was pleasant. And very alternative in the server's tasks. He deserved his tip (18 %). Yes, he was that good. They also have chickens in various dishes. I like the charbroiled style either a full size, half and leg quarters. They are open daily. Their hours are 11:00 am till 9:00 Monday thru Saturday. Sunday is 12:00 pm-8:00 am. The restaurant is decorated as if you were transported to Peru.

I got a beef empanada and my husband said, I thought you didn't like those. Well I'm not sure where I got the last one but this one was GOOD!

Eldorado Cafe continues to be a great Austin spot for flavorful, comforting Tex-Mex…read more We started with the small guacamole, salsa, and Eldorado Queso, which made for a great combination to share before the meal. For our entrées, we had Brian's Alambre Plate, the Chicken Mole, and the Line Cook's Snack Plate. Brian's Alambre Plate combines sirloin, pork pastor, house-made chorizo, and bacon with peppers, onions, and melted Jack cheese. It was good and certainly offers plenty of variety and flavor. For my personal taste, though, if I am primarily craving meat, I prefer Eldorado's Carne Guisada. There is nothing wrong with the Alambre, I just think the Carne Guisada is the stronger choice for me. The Chicken Mole is my wife's favorite, and unfortunately it is only offered as a special late on Thursdays. The house-made mole has a rich, distinctive flavor that works very well with the chicken, and it is easy to understand why she looks forward to it. The Line Cook's Snack Plate was also a great combination with two flautas, a choice of Chicken Caldo or Texas Red, Eldorado rice, and guacamole salad. It is a nice option when you want a little bit of several things rather than one large entrée. Overall, another very enjoyable meal at Eldorado Cafe. Good food, plenty of variety, and enough different flavors on the menu that everyone can find a favorite. We certainly have ours!

I enjoyed the chips they bring out with your choice of complimentary salsa. If you want to sample all the salsas they offer, you can do so for an additional fee. For my main dish, I ordered the Sirloin Tampiqueño with No Hater Taters (mashed potatoes) and Texas Creamed Corn. The steak was very well seasoned and flavorful. I loved it! The sides were great as well and complemented the steak nicely. I had the Watermelon Agua Fresca to drink. It was refreshing, but not my favorite watermelon drink I've had. Overall, I loved the steak and was impressed with the quality of the food! A couple of things could be improved, though. Some of the light fixtures hang way too low, so if you're tall, be careful! Also, the back-of-house area spilling into the restaurant space feels a little odd and takes away from the overall atmosphere.

We were on a quest during our lunch break for a food truck. There was supposed to be one down the…read morestreet, but apparently, they're not there anymore. Then, we saw this one and decided to try it out. The entire menu was in Spanish and neither of us are native speakers nor have we taken it in school. Lucky for us, I'm from California, so I can understand enough to order some food. How hard can it be, right? Being that the menu is in Spanish, I make the assumption they probably don't speak English or their English is limited, right? (After eating here and before posting this review, I read the reviews and it's confirmed you have to order in Spanish.) Luckily I had enough understanding to order and we got everything we wanted, with no glitches. So I had no true understanding what the lady was saying, but I think I did a pretty good job assuming what was said, as I understand a few words here and there. I was expecting the pupusas to be small...about 3 inches in diameter and pretty thin. Let me tell you...they were probably about 6 inches in diameter, pretty full of filling. We got the chicken and cheese. They were really good. We also ordered the carne asada. The meat was pretty chewy, but was salty and flavorful. The rice, in my opinion was a little blah. It had enough seasonings, but it's not not my cup of tea. I prefer Mexican rice. You get a scoop of salsa and some salad with some kind of red sauce in a baggie. It didn't really taste like anything...maybe watered down tomato juice or something similar? The salad has seen better days. It was starting to brown, so we didn't eat it. It was supposed to come with 3 tortillas, but it came with 2. We were expecting them to give us either flour or corn tortillas, however, what came were tortillas that looked like thinner pupusas without filling. They weren't bad, but I would have preferred regular tortillas. Overall, it's not really that bad for the first time trying out El Salvadorean food. I can't attest to the authenticity of it, but nonetheless, it was pretty good. Next time, we'll skip the carne asada and stick to just a pupusa or 2. Pupusas were advertised as $2.50 each. We ordered 3. Our total was $21, so I am assuming the Carne Asada was $13.50. There were no prices for anything other than the pupusas.

My husband ordered their tacu tacu limeno which was 19.95, came with garlic rice, few pieces of tomatoes, and beef in a watery stew. My pork was cooked well, and it was really juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and paired really well with the rice. My husband's beef was tender and cooked well too. His tasted similar to a filipino dish. Servers were nice and attentive. Prices are a bit steep for the amount of food they give you, but it could just be the area they're in. Next time we come, I would like to try their ceviche! Overall, it was a good restaurant. Parking can be a bit tough since parking spaces are tight and there's also a boiling crab in the same plaza; people can definitely park better too.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.

Chinatown Restaurant off Mopac…read more We went to the Chinatown Restaurant off of Mopac last Thursday for dinner (Mar 2,23). We have been there many times & sometimes the food was delicious & ample portions, and then other times it was just very ho-hum-not good flavor, poor portions. But this time, it was AWFUL. The food had a very rancid taste (the special chef's beef dish - which is really orange beef) & the pork rice dish was also rancid tasting & mushy. The service was good but that is about it. So this will be our last trip to that restaurant for sure. So buyer beware going there-using old, rancid oil -YUK.
