You can get it on a flour tortilla, which would be one whole large tortilla; or if you want it on corn tortillas, you get three small tortillas which look like tacos. They come with marinated red onions, couple of red radish slices, a little bit of guacamole, and a wedge of lime. He really enjoyed it.

What a hidden gem... or maybe everyone else knows about it but us. The parking is limited, but you can park around the back or next door in the McD's lot. Seating outside, but since it was raining, we opted for inside. We walked into a cozy, friendly environment which was packed. The only table that was available, was a table for 1 in the corner. The extremely generous young man sitting by the door, heard what the server had offered us and he immediately turned to us and gave us his table and he moved to the single table. I don't think anyone has ever done this for us. We gladly accepted and in turn we treated him to breakfast. We were curious to see the plates coming out of the small kitchen. The pancakes look amazing, as did everything else we caught a glimpse of. A Vallejo omelette and a basic eggs, bacon and potatoes plate. My husband absolutely loved the omelette comparing it to the ones he used to order at the Cliff House in SF back in the day. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were perfect with onion and red peppers added in. Omelette $20 and egg combo $19. Very reasonably priced. The service was great and the food came out piping hot. We will definitely visit again. They were written up in Sonoma magazine for the lemon pancakes and French toast.

Yesterday was a low key chill day, and we needed a place to just relax and begin to let go of all the stress. The girl and the fig was just right. We are like an hour away from Sonoma, and we been here many times just never together. The restaurant's environment is extremely amazing. We showed up, no previous reservation made,we showed up during their peak hours and they managed to seat us within 5 mins perfectly were we requested. Perfect ambiance to sit, drink, eat and enjoy a beautiful sunset. We started with The Morel mushroom tartare, which is morel mushrooms, with an egg, shallots and chives oil over a perfectly well toasted sourdough. Delicious! The steak tartare did not disappoint either. Great balance of flavor between the two. The mushroom earthy flavors along with a light hint of pesto from the morel tartare really balanced out the richness from the steak tartare. The pickled figs served with in the steak tartare really called my attention as they were delicious as well. That was my first having pickled figs :) The salad was delicious, I am a sucker for cheese and the perfectly ripe figs along with the chèvre cheese truly hit the spot. The wild flounder pouched was the wild surprise! I love a restaurant that preps their seafood just right. I love seafood! And I do not like it when it's over cooked. This dish did not disappoint! It was so rich and delicious. Flaky yet nicely seared on one side full of that citrus flavors along which just enhances fish's flavor once it hits the taste buds! The flounder was served over a bed of mashed potato and spinach. That perfect combination. The drinks were delicious as well. Honestly, the service, the food, the vibe, the sunset it was all perfect. Thank you for an amazing time and delicious food the girl and the fig!

I just didn't order anything that blew me away or that I think is particularly unique or difficult, hence the 4 stars. I came with a group for lunch on a sunny Saturday and sat on the patio. Although there are umbrellas, our specific table was exposed and we were roasting! They were kind enough to relocate us to another part of the patio despite the crowds. Otherwise, it felt bright and cheery! For food, I ordered the fig & arugula salad and the smoked salmon. The salad was a great portion size for a meal (or to share as a side), it was perfectly dressed, and the toppings were proportional & balanced. One of the better salads I've had out! The smoked salmon was good but nothing to write home about. Their house chips are nice and thick, which I like, but a little too salty for me. I'd like to come back up to try the mussels, duck or some other entree next time I'm in the area, though I probably wouldn't go out of my way.

The service was impeccable from start to finish, and the food was outstanding. Chef Armando Navarro has been consistently raising the bar for over 15 years. His attention to detail and commitment to quality show in every dish. The Halibut Wellington was absolutely worth the wait and one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Chef Armando's culinary background speaks for itself--having helped open the former Michelin-starred Auberge du Soleil in St. Helena as a Sous Chef, he brings that same level of excellence to El Dorado Kitchen. If you're visiting Sonoma, El Dorado Kitchen is a must. The patio is a fantastic option, especially on a beautiful wine country afternoon. Highly recommended. -While waiting ask Tony to make you a killer cocktail !!

We started in the bar with special spritzes created by the bartender, Deb, which were delicious. Our group was seated promptly, and we ordered a bottle of Rose from Arnot Roberts that was amazing, the wine list is extensive, but the server was knowledgeable and able to recommend some great local offerings. We had been to Sante before, but the restaurant looks fresh and chic since the recent renovation. Sean Carscaden, one of our favorite local artists was playing a couple of tables away, the volume was perfect, we were able to have conversations without it being obtrusive. The courses came out "family-style", we never waited for anything but also did not feel rushed. We had a friend join as we were starting the second course, staff was accommodating and moved a table over and got her caught up on the previous course. Since we had seen Sean before, we knew some of his playlist and he allowed us to request some songs. We ordered a bottle of Syrah to have with our main course, and it was perfect. I wish we would have taken some pictures of the food, but we were having such a nice time talking, drinking and eating that it slipped our mind, that's when you know you are having a good dinner. Dessert was strawberry shortcake, totally seasonal from a local farm, paired with a beautiful dessert wine. Totally recommend the Sunday Supper experience, they even have valet parking, and you can sit out front at one of the firepits after dinner. Kudos to Chef Jen.
