El Dorado Mexican Grill - Brookhaven

The food is usually okay to good here (not as good as some Mexican restaurants I've been to in the southwest of course) but decent for the area nonetheless. My main issue is when I came here a few weeks ago with my group, when the guacamole came out itwas fluorescent green???? This should've been my first tip but I thought maybe it was the lighting. Upon the first bite though Iknew something was wrong and it only took me about 2 seconds to realize it was made from a prepackaged powdered mix. Now I makeguacamole all the time at home, and I consider myself to have high guac standards lol. Obviously once it browns it's ready toget tossed, but they should've just 86'd it from the menu instead of serving that if they didnt have any real avacados. Once Ifigured it out I couldn't make myself continue to eat it. My small son enjoyed it though, so I didn't want to say anything andruin it for him. Also the beans and rice we had ordered as side dishes came out completely cold. Cheese had melted on top, soit was obviously hot as some point but felt more like it had come out of the cooler cold on the plate. This has never been anissue before on previous visits, so it was a pretty unpleasant surprise.

If I could give a rating lower than zero, I definitely would! We used to visit this restaurant at least once a week and always sat at the bar. However, a roach crawled out from underneath the edge of the bar, which made us leave immediately. I called the health department, but they didn't take any action!

I sat at the bar, enjoyed watching football, and made a new friend. The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the food was fantastic!

The staff was friendly and service was prompt. We tried the Chef's Special, which included chicken, rice, beans, and Chicken Fajitas. Both dishes were delicious and served on hot plates.

Good food. Friendly and fast.
