The food is delicious, the view is beautiful, and the service is excellent. This restaurant is located on the second floor, which provides a unique view of the bay. We truly enjoyed every plate and Frances's wonderful service. I ate in El Dorado and it was delicious‼ read more

One of the best seafood in the area. This is my go to spot when I'm in Salinas. Fresh food and good portions for the price

Viernes 2 de enero de 2026 primera salida para ir almorzar y nos fuimos para Salinas. Local amplio con buenas facilidades de estacionamiento. Servicio super rápido, pedías algo y te llegaba enseguida. Nos fuimos más o menos de tapas sin mi gun plato principal pero se almorzó bien. read more

What a treat!! Tucked right into the local neighborhood with a rustic feel, right off the water, this little gem was a true surprise. This spot gather true authenticity to the Puerto Rican cuisine! This spot is well known to its locals as well as offering freshly caught fish. I was told to order the whole Red snapper and this dish did not disappoint. The fish was fresh and fried to PERFECTION! What truly impressed me was the avocado, lettuce, tomatoe and onion salad..I've never had anything like it and I couldn't put it down! The mofongo was my favorite on the island thus far and the red stew onions were such a good touch on the side. Don't forget to leave without the tres leches!! Truly can't wait to be back read more

La vista del lugar es espectacular. Su comida tiene un gran sabor. Pero, reconozco que no sirven en grandes cantidades.

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. read more

Their pricing is extremely expensive . I can get the same meal 3 min away from them for half the price

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

La comida muy sabrosa,el servicio excelente.Lo recomiendo,,yo vuelvo en otra ocasión el ambiente muy agradable

The view of the harbor from an air-conditioned vantage point was lovely. The fish was quite fresh--I had the red snapper and my wife the mahi mahi. The snapper was perfectly cooked and the garlic sauce complemented it well. The mahi mahi (fillet) by comparison was not as tasty. Service was reasonably good for what is, after all, a very affordable restaurant. read more

For a place we're the natives rave about, I must say I was not too impressed. From the entrance to the service and the drinks. The front entrance of the restaurant is not appealing and a strong gas smell. When we sat down by the bar area we waited at least 10 minutes before the waitress returned to get our drinks. The food was ok, but not great. I mean in Salinas, right!? Known for seafood. I ordered the mofongo with lobster and pieces of the lobster were hard. We ordered gin and tonics and we had to correct the bartender to give us "true" gin and tonics without the lime juice in it, something we did not ask for. To go to a restaurant and spend close to $200 I would expect exceptional service and outstanding seafood. I would recommend La Barkita just down the road. read more

En el día de hoy visite su restaurante y un billetero el cual estro dentro de su establecimiento se acercó a mi mesa y nos vendió un billete viejo de la lotería de octubre 27 2022 , es una pena que persona se le de acceso a su establecimiento para estafar a sus clientes, en el día de mañana visitaré su lugar para dar más detalles me gustaría hablar con el gerente o dueño para evitar que esto le pase a más de sus clientes y hacer una querella a la policía y también visitaré las oficinas de la lotería de Puerto Rico , no quiero afectar a su negocio que es exelente , pero si quiero crear conciencia para que ustedes estén al tanto de lo sucedido read more

Less than desirable. I ordered the Paella Marine and all the seafood was overcooked. You can tell they use powered preservative flavoring. $55 dollars worth of dry food... The service was decent. However, if you're looking for delicious food check out www.marinadesalinas.com/restaurants/ read more

The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the restaurant is very pretty with a minimalist style of decor. The view over the marina is gorgeous. We had appetizers, lunch and dessert. The food was fantastic and the drinks were great. Be aware that this place is very popular and fills up quickly, especially on days like Mother's Day.

Great place if u can find it!! Beer is cold and seafood is fresh. Had the mofongo with octopus and let me tell u it's the best I have had in my 12th day here. Worth the wait as service is a little slow but I'm on vacation and not in a hurry, drink up while u wait. All their seafood is fresh right from their boat. My mom had the seafood soup and my wife had the grouper filet, they both raved about the taste. I know is far from tourist San Juan but worth the drive. read more
