This is a small restaurant right by the sea. The views are amazing, the staff is great, their piña coladas are tasty, and their food is spectacular. Also, their prices are pretty good....

We stopped in after a long day at the beach. What a great choice. We were seated with an amazing view of the marina. The service was very quick and efficient. For my meal I had the chicharrones de pescado and a plain Mofongo. My girlfriend had the dumplings and the tostones de pana. She also had a frappé de tamarindo. All of the food was delicious. My chicharrones were absolutely delicious and the Mofongo was so full of taste, lots of garlic and so juicy. The dumplings were kind of blah but the tostones de pana were delicious. To finish our meal we had a flan de queso which was absolutely delicious. We definitely enjoyed our meal and would visit again if in the neighborhood.

Filete de dorado (mahi-mahi filet) with tostones de pana (press fried breadfruit)

Went for lunch with the family. They sat us right next to the window. We had a perfect unobstructed view of the bay and all the boats. That alone was worth the trip. We started off with chicharrones de mero and my wife and I split the empanadilla de pescado. Both were very tasty and fresh. The chicharrones were the best thing we ate that day. My wife then ordered the filets de dorado (mahi-mahi filet). She thought it was a bit too tough. I had the Morongo stuffed with chillo so mojo. That was very good. Our 3 year old enjoyed his rice and beans with a few pieces of the chicharrones de mero. Overall, a pleasant experience. The place is kid friendly. Note the restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the building. Might be an issue with older people or disabled. Place has private parking.

Lobster tostadas

Review of a To-go order: I called the restaurant on my way and placed a to-go order. The person on the call was really nice and the order was ready in 25 minutes. Food: I got the octopus tostada, the shrimp mofongo and chicken empanada. I really liked the chicken empanada - so good! The octopus and mofongo were just ok. Probably it's the way the to-go order was packaged? I don't know. The server messed up my order and charged me for an octopus empanada as well - which was just ok too.

Filet El Dorado (Grouper fish) in butter sauce.

El Dorado in Salinas PR. This is an excellent seafood restaurant. The fish is prepared fresh and the perfect casual setting being on the Marina. We had the seafood soup (not on menu, ask for a cup and it cost less) Red Snapper, and Filet De Dorado. What an experience from picking your red snapper fish before being cooked. Taste truly ocean to table. Service was excellent.

A little dificult to get parked the place was a surprise with a refreshing variety of appetizer and main seafood entree. The place is very concurred by locals and a little informal but the waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was very good. Nice sized servings easy to share.

wonderful ! Eating…read moreout now is a little complicated because of the COVID-19 but this place is extremely clean and secured. They would take your temperature before you enter and they will clean the table in front of you. The food is very good and the drinks are great ! Beware that the plates are big! lol . Gorgeous view of the ocean and you can see the sunset if you go around 5 pm. The service was excellent, fast and efficient . We order one jar of Sangria and beers. The sangria was exquisite , not too strong or light. Food *Salmorejo de Jueyes - 5 of 5, Puerto Rican Salmorejo de Jueyes is a treat for anyone who loves crab. You can eat it with white rice , fried plantains or mofongo. * Chicken Mofongo - 5 of 5 , Mofongo itself is a dumpling made from lightly fried plantains, garlic, and pork rinds - it is full of flavor, and not overly dense or dry. You can order Mofongo with shrimps, beef or anything you like. Its a great restaurant to visit if you are near Salinas. They have free parking and you have the option to seat inside with AC or outside with a beautiful ocean view.

Llegamos desde San Juan referidos por Chat GPT, error! Nos sentamos en la terraza con muy bonita…read morevista. Por suerte pedimos varios aperitivos y estuvieron tan malos que no llegamos a ordenar nada más para almorzar. Empezamos pidiendo un caldo de pescado, parecía grasa pero estaba aguao' aguao' y soso, malo. También pedimos un coctél de carrucho, por $16.99 literal solo tenía 7 pedazos de carrucho pequeñitos y el resto era lechuga mojada con el picadillo de cebolla y pimiento, de sabor, nada espectacular. Los camarones al ajillo, que son imposibles de dañar, no sabían a nada y parecían hervidos (hasta tenían la espumita blanca por encima), hubiera querido pedir sal pero la joven no salía a atendernos; los tostones parece que habían estado sumergidos en aceite frío por varios minutos, así que también fueron imposibles de comer, y por último los chicharrones de pescado, más bien parecían haber frito una tilapia, con un poquito de mayo-ketchup nos lo pudimos tragar pero no era un buen filetito de pescado. En fin, lo único bueno fueron las cervezas porque ni el jugo de toronja tenía sabor. El servicio fatal, ni a cobrarnos se acercaban a la mesa así que tuvimos que ir personalmente a la caja. Un lugar muy bonito, solo necesita unos nuevos cocineros (porque chefs no deben ser) y empleados que disfruten y valoren su trabajo.

It depends on what you order. My wife ordered Chillo with tostones which was well cooked and…read moreseasoned. I ordered a paella with mofongo. When the orders comes out, she got the mofongo and the paella came with the tostones. No big deal here. However I've had paella from NY to the keys in FL. This was some red rice with shellfish in it. There was no seafood flavor at all. I was expecting that classic seafood taste and was disappointed considering the price I paid. Also the bathrooms were lacking supplies, no water to wash your hands as well as no lights in the men's bathroom.

Dont know why no one has reviewed this place yet. So this means I must review them. As a visitor to…read morethis area every year during spring break I look forward on finding a great spot to eat and hang out. I have been coming here jow for 3 years or so and every time I come it gets better and better. Their food is just fresh and really delicious. Here is a list of what my group ordered. Fried red snapper with tostones Caldo de camarones with tostones Appetizers assortment Mofongo relleno de carrucho Both order of fish delicious and crispy. Very fresh and flavorful. The appetizers come with corn fritters, alcapurrias, mofongo, tostones, cheese balls and sauces to make your experience amazingly yummy. My aunt always orders the shrimp soup and she loves it. It has rices, tons of shrimp packed with flavor. They have a very nice bar with most of what you will locally drink. Their passion fruit mojito is to die for. Everyone seems to have a great time and they now have a parking lot that makes it easy to find parking. The place is in a busy corner and it gets busy with locals looking for a great meal and time. But I have to say that the food here is the main attraction. The owner and staff are so welcoming and supper nice. When traveling I use this app for all my meals. I am on a quest to do my part on reviewing every place I visit during my trips so you guys can enjoy too.
