The dorado place is now almost as bad as the San Juan place. The fish keeps getting smaller and the tortillas suck.

My wife and I were in Puerto Rico for a week and I had heard of El Vagon on Yelp and it was about a…read moremile walk from our hotel. The waitress was nice, but really didn't speak English, so I ordered a Corona and ceviche tacos. The food was brought out quickly in this open air patio and the tacos were perfect. Sweet, yet with a pickled tang. Good stuff. If you are in for a walk for some reasonable food and beer, I would go here off the main strip of San Juan!

This place is kinda spartan, first-come, outside , but mostly under a covering, tables. It is among…read morefast food restaurant chains in this hood, but this is an interesting original. We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

Tacos & Tequila - Soup, not sure what it is called but had pork and veggies very salty and a tad spicy. I really just wanted chicken tortilla soup.

We went on a Monday night around 7 o'clock. Table for 2. Made a reservation beforehand and had no…read morewait when we showed up. I ordered birria tacos and they were delicious. You have the option to get either 2 or 3. Though it is just the tacos themselves. No rice or salad included. Still I added the rice to my meal and didn't regret it. The nachos were listed under the appetizers, don't let that stop you from getting them as a meal if you'd like. My wife wanted them as her entree and they were more than enough. She didn't finish them. Even better than the food was the view. We sat outside and you probably should too if that's you're thing. You're right at the water with the sound of waves crashing in the background. No alcoholic drinks for either of us. I only got a sprite and water (they used bottled Fiji if you order it still but sparkling was also an option) but my wife had 2 mocktails. She said they were really good. Strawberry and mango flavors. Nachos, 3 birria tacos, side of rice, 2 mocktails, and 1 glass of sprite. Not sure if the water was free or not honestly lol. Everything came to almost $105 before tip. So you're paying for the atmosphere and the food. Which we were okay with. Would recommend and would visit again.

I'm staying at the hotel and decided to try the restaurant for a late lunch by the pool shortly…read moreafter I arrived. Unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing first meal. I ordered the quesadillas and a traditional margarita. The margarita was okay, but very average. The quesadillas were the biggest disappointment. They lacked flavor and were definitely overpriced for the quality. For what I paid, I expected them to be much better. Overall, not the best first impression, especially for a restaurant located at the hotel.
