Love the diner. Been going to their food truck in Fremont for yrs. Finally got a chance to make the drive to Fostoria and try their diner. Let me just say we were not disappointed. Large portions, fresh and hot, quick service, and most importantly very friendly stagg and inviting atmosphere. Wife got the wet burrito which was huge and I got some breakfast items that were amazing. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be going back.

Disappointed.. Growing up in California, I was hoping for good Mexican food. These corn tortillas were soggy and crumbly, chips were overcooked, and food lacked flavor. I also was not given an option for spicy salsa. For $11, it was not a good deal.

We’ve been denizens of the Seneca County area for three years now, and can say with quite a bit of confidence that there’s a dearth of authentic Mexican restaurants for three or four counties wide. Other restaurants take a stab at authenticity, but seem to always manage to muck things up with substitutes or shortcuts. We learned this morning that if we want something genuine, El Dorado Diner is here to save the day.
Before ordering, I asked a few questions: was the barbacoa actual cheek meat or was it just roast beef deceptively labeled? I also asked about the chorizo. Our waitress, Domiana, assured me that all of their offerings are either homemade or imported straight from Mexico. Moreover, their tacos are not loaded up with cheesy gunk, but come adorned just as they should: onions and cilantro. That’s it. On a corn tortilla. Thank you and gracias, as our food was delicious and the meat was real barbacoa with its quintessential smooth texture.
The tamales looked and tasted like . . . well, Mexico. They were quite hearty and they came plated in the husk. My husband ordered the chorizo and eggs; he wolfed them down before I could have a taste, which must mean that they were good. Also noteworthy is the fact that they do NOT use city water at their restaurant.
The menu was full of tempting choices, so we’ll be back to try more. A few tips for the house, though–I’d love to see some desserts like flan or tres leches to round out the meal. Also, the chips are quite “light”.

After running a community POLL on Facebook, 99% of customer feedback about El Dorado has been positive. Customers love the quality of the authentic Mexican food. This is definitely a hidden gem in Fostoria!

Welcoming! Very quaint restaurant. The food was fine although the meat was slightly dry. My omelette was good and I enjoyed it with the hash browns. I would have preferred a pepperjack cheese and a different bread for toast but what I got was still acceptable. I would go back!

Some of the best al pastor tacos I have ever had, highly recommend. Also, a nice family run business to support

Food was delicious! I had the Birria taco and preferred it here rather then the ones from Cancun in Findlay. Waitress was very kind. Will definitely be visiting again!

The tacos al pastor (a lifelong favorite) and chicken Enchiladas lunches my wife and I had were excellent, similar to the style from my hometown of San Antonio. The Tres leches cake was wonderful, as was the turtle cheesecake. The diner was clean, new, and tastefully but simply decorated. El Dorado hasn’t been open long, and there was only one other customer there. I urge everyone to try breakfast or lunch here for a real “Tex Mex” dining experience.

The people were nice there. The food is some of the least exciting Mexican I have ever had. Very low quality for a town with such a saturated market of Mexican restaurants. Does not stand out against the others. Might as well drive 2 blocks to Little Mexico and get better food
