El Dorado Mexican Retaurant

This off-kilter little gem is located on the outskirts of Fuquay-Varina, NC. Although there are many mexican restaraunts in the area (7 as of this writing), El D's is the “real” Fuquay mexican restaurant.

Upon entering this quaint building, you are immediately greeted by the zany and sarcastic waitstaff, who seat you immediately and provide the required chips and salsa. We both had the sweet tea, as we always do, and it is one of the best sweet teas to be found. The salsa is pleasantly spicy, with the fresh chips bringing a good crunch as you peruse the menu.

The Famous Speedy Gonzalez

One beef taco, one beef enchilada and rice. 

Hard to mess up, but also hard to perfect. This is my most often selected menu item at El D's, and this occasion did little to convince me otherwise. Best beef in the business, with a soft rice and a delightful red sauce that cuts perfectly under the cold white queso. A cheap, delightful meal, worthy of any refined taste buds.

Lunch Special #9

One chicken quesadilla, rice and beans. 

It is especially important to order the quesadilla from the lunch menu; it is shredded chicken, unlike the dinner quesadilla, which is a fajita style chicken (honestly it is not as good).

I dream about this quesadilla. It practically melts in your mouth with every bite and is a great pair with the beans and rice. I once had the quesadilla twice in one day (for lunch & dinner)...yes, it is that good.

Do we recommend El Dorado's to you? Heck yes. Just don't be surprised if the wait staff pokes fun at you.
