We spontaneously decided to give this Mexican restaurant a try because it had 4.3 stars. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. First, I ordered a margarita that was $16 for a very small drink, which was definitely not worth the price. We were told it was made with Don Julio tequila, but honestly, it did not taste like Don Julio at all. There was also a flyer displayed at the front advertising $7 margaritas as the special of the day. After ordering, we were told that special was actually only for the night before. Fine -- but I didn't realize I was being charged $16 until the margarita was already brought to the table. Then came the food, which was extremely disappointing. The torta was mostly bread with barely any meat, and the burrito also had very little to no meat. For a Mexican restaurant, the portions and quality were simply not what we expected. The entire experience was disappointing from start to finish. We were there for a while and didn't see a single other customer, which honestly wasn't surprising given our experience. One other thing worth mentioning: this is not a full-service restaurant, but they still prompted us for a tip when paying the bill. Overall, we really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, we left feeling like we overpaid for food and drinks that were not worth it. Definitely not a place we would return to or recommend. read more

I absolutely love this Place!! It is my wife's and I favorite place to eat when we're feeling delicious authentic food!! The owners are a sweet couple that are always very welcoming! We always choose to dine in, and the music is always lovely and welcoming! read more

I'm really sad I have to leave this review. I used to love this place, but today's interaction with them really left a bad taste in my mouth. I had ordered 7 al pastor tacos, and after getting home, I realized they only gave me 4. On top of that, they charged me for lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream, which they never gave me. When I called them to refund me for the incorrect charge, they asked me to come back for the refund. When I did, they made me feel like I was the liar, and questioned what I said I actually received. Needless to say, they lost a customer. read more

Good quality food. Love the guacamole and chips. Steak quesadilla needs a touch more meat otherwise it's delicious.

Been eating here since they opened always good food and fair prices!!! Great service always friendly.

Pork burrito: Contains an interesting mixture of saucey pork and peas and rice and lettuce. It was not spicy at all, a bit messy but solid burrito and definitely filling. Tortilla was good but not that super fresh tortilla you can find some places. 4/5 Chicken burrito: Although it *was* authentic I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken burrito. The chicken was that diced, not the white meat but not the dark meat kind of leftover chicken. Inside was rice, tomatoes, lettuce and although I ordered it with the red sauce it didn't taste super saucey or flavorful to me. My burrito was also ripped - oddly enough - so they didn't grill it for me. I think the better bet at this place is to do the beef or pork dishes. 3/5 Torta: Super duper enormous and very generous with the avocado on this pork torta. The bread was puffy and fresh, and was literally like a loaf of bread you would get at the supermarket bakery, it was so large. 5/5 Carne Asada Burrito Dinner: Came with a side of tasty and interesting (seriously interesting! They were seasoned with something that made them red) refried beans and a little side of rice with peas and solid seasoning as well. This burrito was definitely the best grilled of the bunch - and also the most expensive. However, it was also the best enjoyed burrito. 5/5 Ordered from Doordash during summer quarantine months. I wish they would add a shrimp burrito! They have it for shrimp cocktail already they should just sling some of those in a burrito :) read more

Unfortunately I don't recommend the food here at all. I purchased two steak tacos, beans and rice. All were extremely dry, except for the beans. The tacos tasted as if they had been sitting out for hours before I came, and the rice was dried out as well. Ended up throwing half of the meal away because it was just not edible. Don't recommend sorry waste of my money! read more

Good food and good service. Meal was prepared quickly. Margaritas available. Will have to try one next visit. Highly recommended for a quick carryout dinner. read more

This is our new authentic taco spot in the Aurora area. The food is amazing, very authentic, prepared within a reasonable time and the price per taco is unbeatable in the area. Considering all the COVID restrictions this place is getting it done. It's our go-to for tacos. Give them a try. read more

My Enchilada Dinners were very good ! They were delivered on time & everything was hot. I found the owner & staff to be courteous & anxious to please. I have ordered a number of items from the menu & find them authentic. I plan to order there dinners again & again & I wouldn't hesitate to Recomend this Resturant. read more

Was on the hunt for a good torta. First, the torta de milanesa from here was just good. The size was on the larger end but felt like a lot of bread per bite. The Al pastor in tacos is also good. The asada meat was on the underwhelming side. read more

Tried the Asada Burrito for lunch, larger than average burrito and very delicious! The steak and seasoned rice have great flavor.

The tacos are not that great. I mean for the price you get "eh ok" tacos. The steak meat is bland and just not good. The al pastor is weird and the rice has no salt. The service is great! That is why I give 3 stars. Its cheap and the horchata is delicious . I hope they change the seasoning soon. This restaurant has a lot of potential . read more

This place was great! The food was delicious and the service was extremely friendly. My favorite was the horchata, which tasted like homemade horchata from Mexico. I only wish that they would have more vegetarian options for us veggies out there (veggie tortas, tacos, burritos, etc.) The place itself was clean and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Food was good and tastee but didn't realize we needed to order the toppings for the tacos. Silly me for assuming standard was with cilantro and onion. We ate them with just the meat. Next time I will know to specify. The guacamole was great!! read more

The restaurant was extremely cold. The food was not good and the prices didn't match what the menu stated.

So far I tried the steak quesadilla, steak tostada, steak tacos, steak torta and the pork tacos everything is amazing my coworkers order here every week sometimes twice a week they offer 1 dollar tacos on certain days which makes them even more tempting to order from definitely worth a try u won't be disappointed read more

The service is very friendly and they are very happy that you came in. The horchata was very good and we love that they grill the burritos. The table salsa is smooth and delicious. Enchiladas verdes really tasty with a charred pepper sauce to die for. I have been here at night for take out and sat in for lunch. Rice is so so but the received beans are better than anyone else around. We only go here for mex in Aurora, the best!!! read more

Great taco place. Their tacos dorados de frijoles were surprisingly great and got me hooked right away.

I love their tacos!!! They're only a dollar EVERYDAY and for anyone complaining about adding on ingredients you are cheap. They're a nice place ran by nice people and have good food. read more

DELICIOUS TACOS NICE PEOPLE Pork tacos outstanding, tamales scrumptious Red sauce super read more

To be fair The review is simply on the experience as I didn't even eat there. I saw reviews and was excited to stop in as I was in the area and had a craving for menudo on a Saturday morning. I was disappointed to know they didn't have it when I got here at 10:30. Food might be great but I'll never know now. Too many spots around to give it another shot. read more

Yummy! First time ordering and we will be back. Tamales, tacos, quesadillas, guacamole, rice and beans were delicious!

I love it here !! They are SO SWEET, fast and incredibly delicious !!!!! I go 4 times a week NO JOKE . & I recommend 100% to ANYONE I recommended to people more than I go $1 tacos read more

This is my local go to spot for Mexican. I have always ordered delivery and never had an issue. The food is great, highly recommended.

This has become my favorite place to grab tacos for lunch on a weekly basis. We usually order the taco dinner and get the steak tacos. I really like the pico they make, it's not too chunky and a good balance of ingredients. Overall when asked about a good place to grab some Mexican I recommend this place based on taste, staff, and price. read more

I moved to Aurora from Chicago about ten years ago, and ever since then, I've been trying to find my go-to Mexican restaurant. You'd think Aurora would have an abundance of great Mexican food, but I haven't found a restaurant that just nails all of my favorite dishes, until I happened upon Hacienda El Dorado. The food is amazing. The chicken fajitas are always perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and I love they add grilled tomatoes. The chorizo tacos are by far my favorite street taco. The staff is super friendly and seems to want to get to know their customers. Hacienda El Dorado has filled a void in my life. Go there, try everything, and support their business so that I never have to go without their chorizo tacos ever again! read more

I love the Chicken Tamales from this place. Driving out of the way is no problem. The corn meal is light and has a really nice corn flavor. The shredded chicken meat is lightly season leaving your mouth a nice warm feeling. The recipes are from the owner's family making it their own special food from them to you. I am not sure what the other food tastes like because I just get the Tamales. I hunger for their tamales. I always buy a dozen to go. I share some with friends and the rest are mine! Happy eating! read more

Came here because I wanted to see what was all the hype about these $1 tacos. Well you get what you pay for. The chips you get when your seated were thick and tasted like oil no taste, salsa was bland they could change that up. Chorizo tasted weird and like it had been sitting in the fridge too long. Alpastor was okay, the seasoning wasn't great just average. The new management has to step it up a little more. Other than that the place was clean and has a lot of tables. read more

One of the best tacos I've had in a while. Fast service and super nice people. We'll definetely be back !

The dollar tacos got us in and we will for sure be back. Very reasonable prices, great tasting food and nice people. Extra bonus for those that like hot sauce. They have 3 kinds and all are great!! See u again soon! read more
