Best tamales in town. Today I tried the chili relleno for $5 and it was delicious. I never leave without a salsa and seriously need to explore this place more. We also get our masa preparado and the masa is good, too. Love me some el dorado market! Oh, if you want chicken tamales, you better call and order them early. They DO SELL OUT FAST. Photo is 2 tamales (chicken and beef) and a full size dinner plate. I got a dozen for $27.50
Decent prices hot foods & taste good as well. We usually go for their breakfast burritos. Service is quick, there's usually 3-4 cashiers. Calling ahead is recommended they do get packed, but still quick with orders. Love the it's a little market but also does hot foods. Hidden gem!
Usually during the holidays we order a variety of tamales for an annual family event. The pork, beef, and chicken tamales are all delicious. The beef and or the chicken tamales which are my favorites, but my kids loved the pork. They are all good. If you can get thru on the phone it is best to pre-order your tamales. They also have an other Mexican food items, and basically a Mexican meat market and neighborhood store. In previous visits we have had their burritos and tacos which have all been good. The store was pretty organized and efficient. This year the staff was friendlier than in the past, in fact I would say in the past they were actually grumpy in previous years. Which isn't an excuse but when the line wraps around the block and you've been up all day I get. During the holidays, the security guy out front is great, he has been there for years. He kept things organized in the line and is informative. We go there for the tamales and definitely not here for the service, LOL. Parking lot has limited spaces and street parking is easier but in the winter months kind of dangerous as El Dorado is busy and some drive recklessly.
It's been years since I have been here. Went early to avoid large crowds. I ordered some pork and cheese tamales and some pastries. Everything was very good. I will definitely be coming back. I want to try their menudo next. Heads up, The menudo is only made on Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait.
Very cool cozy mexican store with delicious food and a great staple to stockton! especially recommend the chicharron burritos
