The food is some of the best I've had in all my years visiting Puerto Rico. The fresh catch is a must-try, and the portions are generous. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the day's catch and the different types of fish available. The ambiance is rustic and unpretentious, exactly what you'd expect from a great seafood restaurant. It works because the food is the true star of the experience. read more

A rainy day could not dampen our food experience! My mother and uncle ended up having an assortment of empanadas - Crab, Lobster, Shrimp and Scrawled Cowfish. I ordered the Garlic Dorado (Mahi-mahi) with a side of Yucca and Plantain Mash. Everything was delicious! The empanadas were loaded and bursting with flavors. The empanada dough was so good. It was perfect for our filling selections. My Garlic Dorado dish was fantastic. Fresh garlic delivered rich aroma and made my mouth watery upon arrival. The mash was moist and balanced. I felt very smart for ordering the fish for which the restaurant is named! Lastly, the service was excellent. All the servers were kind and friendly. Our server girl did not even write down our order! She memorized everything and delivered it quickly and perfectly! I am looking forward to my next visit! read more

La Casa Del Dorado - Dorado al Ajillo With Bifongo de Yuca y Plátano Garlic Mahi-Mahi with a Yucca and Plantain Mash - Seafood Near Me - Aguada, Puerto Rico

It's way out of the way, almost like a neighborhood secret spot. Really close to ocean. Atmosphere is fantastic. The margaritas were great but the showcase was the food! Red snapper with criollo was the best my wife has had ever. My mahi-mahi sandwich was great, perfect. 10 of 10, we would go again! read more

Excellent fresh seafood!! You can choose from the cooler of their fisherman village read more

Great restaurant in Barrio Espinar in Aguada. We went around 6pm on a Sunday and we're promptly seated. I did park on the street, not realizing there was a lot behind the restaurant. We decided to order various appetizers for our last night in town. The queso frito was one of the best I've had during this trip. Most places serve it with guava sauce, but here it is mayo-ketchup. Unfortunately, they did not have lobster or crab, so we ordered steak empanada (our favorite), chicken and dorado (our least favorite). The side of trifongo was good, as was the rice. The service was excellent, and the prices very reasonable! read more

La Casa Del Dorado - Our empanadas - Seafood Near Me - Aguada, Puerto Rico

Amazing service and food. Best beans I've had on the island and the churrasco was outstanding with the chimichurri!! The chicken empanadilla was okay but the carne one was better IMO. Sorullitos were really good too. My husband had the pollo a la plancha and he loved it. We also ordered jugo de Parcha (passion fruit juice ) which was also great :). The total was super reasonable coming out to 65$ for everything !! The space is open so lots of fans in the restaurant and a great breeze from the beach that's next to it. But no AC. Tbh you don't need it with that great breeze. Can't go wrong with this stop in Aguada, def give it a try!! read more

I could not wait to write a review, for all the right reasons. Let me tell you about this place: If you are looking for fancy dinner wear, air conditioning along with items on the menu that are designed to make you feel like you are dinning in Paris, this is not the place for you. On the other hand, if what you are looking for is spectacularly delicious Puerto Rican Seafood at prices that will make you think "how could they possibly turn a profit here", this is the place for you. My spouse had the "Mofongo con Pescado" because honestly, we are now tired of eating all sorts of mofongo with anything but fish. My, oh my, oh my... It was by far the best mofongo I have ever had and, mind you, I grew up in Puerto Rico and have a mother that still makes the best mofongo in the world! As I said, the place is not fancy and you may get the impression that it is yet another one of those Puerto Rican places where you can order anything fried (really, anything) and when you order you have to scream out loud because the music is so loud no one can hear you. You are already aggravated because you spent twenty minutes trying to find a parking spot and worse yet, the staff seems more focus on entertaining themselves rather than taking your order. If you are an experienced Puerto Rico traveler, you know exactly what I am talking about. This place is none of that, it is in fact a hidden jewel of a place with attentive staff where you can still enjoy Salsa music being played the way God intended to, at a pleasant volume where you can actually hear the ocean waves (I know, hard to believe there is such a place in PR) and the most important part: The food is simply outstanding along with the number of options.   It was an absolute breath of fresh air to discover this place. Be sure to give them your business if you like to support this sort of establishment in PR. They sure need more of it! Lastly, they have an "extension" of the restaurant about two blocks away, right on the water. For a limited version of their menu you can sit right on the water front outdoors and enjoying the sunset. What they lack of menu items at this "extension" they more than make up for it in the setting you'll be able to enjoy. It was an absolute pleasure to write this review... read more

I wonder how many people have ordered and left without their food. We arrived at 630pm ordered a coke a juice, 2 fish empanadas and our two fried fish. 745pm and still no drinks or apps, asked the waitress and she said "I know, I know it's gonna take a long time". We got our food at 8pm and the place wasn't that busy for it to take so long for fish. The food was decent but I wouldn't come back read more

This is a nice local spot close to the beach. Service was decent. Food was good for a neighborhood restaurant. My friend and I had the mahi mahi fish fillet. It could have used a little more seasoning and garlic. My husband had the red snapper (chillo) and he said it was very good. The rice and beans were excellent. The drinks were also good. Overall a nice ambiance with good food. read more

Such a great find in a tiny town in west Puerto Rico. The whole fried snapper is amazing and seems to be on every table. The empanadas are a must....every bit as good as we had in Argentina. Staff is friendly and their is a nice open air, beach town vibe. read more

I wish that I could rate the food but the wait alone has been a complete turn off. Currently sitting here waiting for our dinner and it's been an hour in a half. It took over a half hour to have our server take our drink order and even longer to receive our drinks. I remember coming here and the food was amazing. We were told this is a new owner. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

Tasty and reasonable food , great drinks, fantastic service and friendly atmosphere! We ordered pork+cheese +chip plantain appetizer and Dorado fish topped with mushrooms and sweet potatoes , it was delicious! Also we got different kinds of Alcohol drinks and had a spectacular night:) read more

Lento lentisimo. Super slow service. We have been waiting for two mofongos for over an hour. No hand soap on the restroom. read more

The place is pretty run down but the food was fresh and tasty- everyone who had the seafood was content and I had the churrasco with rice and beans and it was good - the prices are reasonable compared to other similar restaurants in the area. read more

We found this beachfront seafood shack at the end of a road in a residential area. The food was both fresh and excellent, the atmosphere relaxed and family-friendly, and the staff both knowledgeable and personable. This little gem turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip, and we'll be sure to recommend to friends who visit the area. read more

It's a must visit everyone we are in town. While fried fish or mofongo rellano mixto are my choices for big dish or empanadas for a snack. Look forward to returning again as this time we were in town we ate there 3 times. read more

BEST SEAFOOD I HAD IN P.R. No lie, some of the best food I indulged in. Drinks are inexpensive, seafood is fresh (and local), and the staff was super friendly. This place came highly recommended by someone who has lived in the area for years and I'm so glad he let us in on this place (that seems like a local secret). read more

This is an updated review of my precious two star review, which was left for the lack of service and employees being on their cell phones and not being attentive. Went back in the beginning of July 2018, Service was great, We sat down, Menus were handed out immediately, Order was taken within 5 minutes. Food came in a timely manner. Their was a Middle aged man, which seemed to be either the Manager or Partial owner, he was cracking the whip some and making sure the employees where on top of things, which explained the better service from my previous visits. Food was Great, Fish Kabobs also known as Pinchos were Amazing and come with 3 tostones "Fried Crispy Plantains". Empanadas were also very good. We and the Kids went their for appetizers this time around, No main dishes were orders. My hats off to them for improving Service and Food Served. This is really a nice place , it has a deck that is about 15-20 feet from the water, Walk behind the deck and you can take a nice walk on the beach after your meal. Great job guy's , Keep up the good work, Service is everything :o). read more

New location is not on the water just as an FYI. Food is very good. I recommend the pulpo appetizer or the salad. The mofongo was also very good. Service is not the best but then you don't leave good tips. Waited over 30 minutes for a mofongo. read more

This was the most authentic and delicious Puerto Rican food we had on our trip. Food takes a while to come out because it is made FRESH!!! try the seafood mixto Mofongo....hands down the best mofongo I've ever had on this island. A must in Aguada read more

While enjoying the beauty of a tropical island, a seafood dinner is a must. This is the right place.

We love this place....Best place to eat fish... every time we come vacation this is the 1st place we come too

Truly a gem! We were looking for a good seafood mofongo and this place didn't disappoint!

It's in a residential area with a spot right on the beach. We were able to catch the sunset here for dinner and drinks. The staff was friendly but pretty slow on service and bringing the food to our table (just my gf and I). You get a lot of food for the money and it's good quality. We had the fish soup, pork mofongo, and a lobster empanadilla, along with a piña colada and medallas. read more

The place is located right on the beach. I had The red snapper that was absolutely delicious and the flavor was spot on. The service was also very good. They handled our group of 13 with no problem. read more

The food is awesome, I come here to eat everytime i visit Puerto Rico. The seafood is delicious, I always easy the Mofongo with shrimps. The beach view is also spectacular from all sides. The staff is also very pleasant and helpful. read more

We would never have found this little restaurant if not for the recommendation of my husband's biking friend, Angel. It is in a residential area in Aguada, right on the water. There is also a fisherman's market where you can buy fresh fish right out of the ocean. Mahi, Snapper, Grouper, they have it all. This is a great place to watch the sunset and the food is very, very good. We had fish asopao (stew) with mofongo. It is very hard to find a restaurant that serves just fish in their stew and this was Mahi. Delicious and not salty at all. Our friends had Snapper and Grouper fillets a la criolla which were also very good and fresh. We also had "Masitas de pescado" which were absolutely delicious. We came around 6:30 pm on a Friday night and the place was packed. The service was excellent, bilingual and menu is extensive and in both Ennglish and Spanish. Next time, and there will be a next time, we will go earlier to watch the sunset. We will definitely add Casa Del Dorado to our list of favorite places to eat. I almost forgot, the prices are very reasonable. read more

Please be ADVISED!!!!! Stay away rip off the fish is super expensive spoke to one of the waiters i told him it was really expensive they weight the fish and charge stupid amounts for each pound we were 8 of us and he said ill speak to my boss to give you a better price and he spoke to the owner and she was ok I'll help you out. We all had ordered the fish and once we got the check I told the waiter if the owner made changes to the bill and he said no so I went to the owner and she was extremely rude treated us with enormous disrespect i said cool ill pay i should of seen how much before we sat down to eat my fault. Also bad service it took along time to get the food. FYI there lots of better places then this place believe me stay away read more

This place was truly amazing. We been on a hunt for octopus salad and we finally found this place. The view was amazing and the staff was great. Great selection of different seafood. If your looking for a cool place and great seafood this is the spot. Not far from the major highways just pay attention to the signs for the restaurant because it is hidden. read more
