    The dish I ordered was not as good as I had hoped. I am a seafood lover, and was disappointed when the fish in my entree was so overcooked and very dry. The risotto was not cooked.

    This is the place for a romantic dinner on the beach. It's the quintessential beachfront dining experience, where you can even dine with a table in the sand if you prefer. The food is well-prepared with good portions as well, although the menu doesn't change much from year to year.
    El Dorado RestaurantResponded on December 9, 2024
    Hello Craig! Thank you for your thoughtful review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the romantic beachfront setting and the unique experience of dining with your toes in the sand. It is wonderful to hear that the food met your expectations. We appreciate your feedback about the menu and we will take it into consideration as we continue to refine and enhance our offerings. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable evening by the sea! All my best, Julio.

    Had high hopes for this restaurant, as it's beach front and was recommended by a local who also suggested its neighboring restaurant, La Palapa. We should've known, judging by the tons of diners present at La Palapa compared to the few patrons of El Dorado that there was a clear difference. Service was average at best. Our appetizer (mussels) were spoiled and smelled the moment the lid was removed. They offered to remake it, but there was no way we wanted to chance it. Drinks were average. My meal was fine, but my wife's steak and mashed potatoes arrived cold. Although they attempted to make up for the mishaps towards the end, it was not enough to make me return or recommend dining there, despite an incredible view and sunset.

    Overpriced tourist trap. If you know what seafood and bone marrow look and taste like, you will be disappointed.

    Very awesome Ambience the reason you would go there food was good but at the price point it should be. Based on Mexican restaurants cannot seem to get out of there for less than $120
