EL DORADO - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was very positive, primarily due to the food, which was very good and well prepared. The decor was also a highlight, described as fun, new traditional, and a bit eclectic. The atmosphere received a high rating of 5, and the food also scored a perfect 5. Service was rated at 4, indicating a good overall experience.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. Even though it was late, they still treated us right. Jorge the bartender was fantastic. I tried the ceviche sampler, and the Aji de gallina was amazing. Don't skip this spot!

My experience at El Dorado was absolutely fantastic! I visited after work and tried the Pollo Causa and Lomo Saltado, which were hands down the best I’ve had in a long time. It's challenging to find these dishes prepared correctly, but El Dorado truly excelled. Each bite was bursting with flavor and clearly made with great care. What truly elevated the experience was Manny, the owner. His warmth, welcoming nature, and passion for his craft were palpable from the moment I walked in. The entire staff mirrored this friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring top-notch service from start to finish. The ambiance was stunning – super cozy, vibrant, and incredibly Instagram-worthy, making it an ideal spot to share with friends or enjoy a personal treat. I also must mention the Pisco Sours; they are dangerously good and crafted to perfection. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. El Dorado has definitely secured a place in my regular dining rotation!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, particularly with their ceviche. It was described as a little spicy, but ultimately delicious. Even my wife, who typically dislikes spicy food, absolutely loved the ceviche here. The food quality was rated a 5 out of 5, and the service and atmosphere also received perfect scores of 5. It was a wonderful dinner experience.

My experience at this restaurant was incredible! We went for a company lunch, and I was absolutely blown away. I ordered the LOMO SALTADO and it was fantastic. The food was a perfect 5/5, the atmosphere was also a perfect 5/5, and the service was excellent. We experienced no wait time, making the entire visit seamless.

My experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. I tried the birria quesadilla, the queso, and the Caesar salad, all of which were unfortunately underwhelming. However, the plantains and the pico de gallo were great. The beef quesadilla would have been better if it were served hot, as it was only lukewarm. I later tried the chicken empanadas, and they suffered from the same issue of not being hot, even though they were cut into pieces. I also won't be ordering the churros again due to excessive sugar and a lacking chocolate sauce.

I had lunch here recently, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. The service was extremely poor—disorganized and inattentive. As for the food, it was far from fresh or flavorful. What was served barely resembled a proper meal: just a bowl of overly salty broth with some vegetables and two small, uninspired pieces of beef. Definitely not worth the visit.

My experience at this restaurant was outstanding! It's hands down the BEST Peruvian restaurant in SF. I absolutely loved the amazing empanadas and the lomo saltado. The service was incredibly fast, with waiters who were always on the spot. The owner is a truly amazing person and made us feel like family.

We visited for lunch during a conference rush hour, which unfortunately slowed down service a bit. However, the food was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

My experience at this restaurant was amazing in every aspect. From the atmosphere to the employees, everything was top-notch. Not to mention the food, which was exceptional. I have already planned and will continue to plan trips to San Francisco specifically to visit this place again.
