    Empanadas
    Pilar S.

    Recently relocated to Puerto Rico and was looking forward to trying the local cuisine. Interesting place. High level food truck and beverage bar. They kept the area clean. Ambiance is very relaxed, with gentle breezes from the nearby coastline. Our server was a bit standoff-ish but the other servers that tended to us in her absence were nice. We had the pastor tacos and the empanadas. The empanadas were amazing. Should have just doubled our order of those and passed on the tacos. The meat was good on the tacos but tortillas really brought down the taste. Ate the meat and left the tortillas. We will be back, if only for empanadas !!

    Holy shizzzzzz the ceviche nachos were bomb!!! Super simple ingredients, including sweet chili was surprisingly is very good !! Service was excellent, clean, open air seating & I basically licked my plate clean! Might get this again b4 we leave PR

    We were staying at dorado Del Mar Aquarius resort.We wanted to have some Taco.Vagón is amazing.Me being a vegetarian I needed a veg taco and my husband loved the chicken taco.We did a to go and the wait was long almost 40 minutes hence if you have plans to take a to go make sure you order before hand.The food tastes yummy.

    This place was awesome!!!! Be aware menu is in Spanish so be prepared to translate or ask for help. Did I say this place was awesome??? I hate beer. I drank beer today in the hot Puerto Rican sun and loved it. The flavors of the meat were all perfection. Jeeeeeeesus this place was awesome Just go there.

    When in Puerto Rico try Mexican food lol. Recommend by my cousin a local favorite spot. I am told. It seems to be a popular place. You cam make reservations. They have a capacity limite on restaurants so I recommend to make a reservation. The restaurant is casual. It has an outdoors large section and plenty of parking. They take your temperature and spray your hands with alcohol, no spray no in. masks are required. I ordered fish tacos. It was about seven dollars for two. They came with chips and little side of beans. They where good. They tasted good. I was happy with my selection. The order came in a take-out box . We where a big group of six and we all got a covered take-out box with plastic silverware. I actually liked that. It felt safe. My cousin ordered the sangria. They brought him a big bottle lol. It seems that's how they sell it here. He seems really happy and tipsy. He said it was strong. I tried the seviche nachos. That was good. I really like it. I had a good time. Food was good . The place was diferent and the staff was professional

    New menu items!

    Get the fish tacos! This is a laid-back spot offering outdoor seating only and everything was great. Quick service, too.

    Omg this place is soooo bomb!!!! The tacos are sooo amazing.. it was my first time eating here. I'm not from here. Came into town for my birthday and the spices was just perfect. Now that i know about it I'll be back when i come back into town to visit.

    Vagón is my go-to casual spot in Dorado. I alternate between the fish tacos and the Texas chicken tacos, because they're both amazing. I've also enjoyed everything from the quesadillas to the Nachos Machos which are indeed macho - more than I can eat alone. They have a covered outdoor patio, as well as an uncovered section for when you want to enjoy the sunshine. They also have live music on Thursdays and the vibe is fantastic. They have great friendly service in Spanish and English, and the atmosphere is always fun and relaxed. This is the spot where I take friends who are visiting and do casual business lunches often.

    Food was good with ingredients that seem to be fresh but it is missing typical Mexican flavors…read more Flautas could be more flavorful if you use corn tortillas instead of flour ones, the meat and the "caldo" was flavorful. This place wants to be Mexican but the only Mexican thing is the skull on their logo. Ambience is also ok, service was mixed for me. Our waitress was nice, but there was a waiter that was creepy; a guy who did not talk to anyone until two young ladies came in. He followed them and kept asking them questions about where they were coming from. When he left their table saying "your waitress will be right up" one girl told the other "viejo verde". When we stood up to leave, we say a guy (eating alone) talk to the waiter. Although he was listening to the client, his eyes were still on those young ladies. Creepy!

Our server was super friendly and attentive and recommended the pork belly tacos. We started off with the bean dip, which ended up being our most favorite dish of the night...just very simple and flavorful. It hit the spot! The tacos were equally great. Fresh ingredients, tasty, and good portions. The only thing we didn't care for was the queso fundito, where the texture was a bit too rubbery, but we were so full from the other dishes that it didn't matter. While the food was a bit on the slow side, it didn't matter as long as the beers were flowing :) Definitely a must visit if you're in Dorado as the food here will not disappoint!

My boys and I decided to walk the shore with the intentions on trying one of the restaurants alongside the beach for lunch and settled on this spot after seeing their ratings. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which was a huge relief given we were in much need of AC. The place wasn't crowded but it had its share of people- deff looked like a popular spot for the locals. Staff were welcoming and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from it made it hard to pick. I decided to leave it in the waitresses hand to suggest an app and entree for myself. She recommended the mini acapurrias that came paired with a guava sauce and the shrimp mofongo made from a mixture of sweet plantains and tosotones-it was mouth watering good. I'll have her to blame for the longing I'll have to endure of such an incredible dish. I have personally never finished any mofongo but this one I damn bear licked the plate. The shrimp was juicy, fresh, the garlic not overbearing. The amount of caldo was just portioned so as kiss the amount of mofongo served. My kiddos loved the mini alcapurrias. They were crisp, hot and paired deliciously with the guava sauce. My eldest had the churrasco which he described as being juicy and tender and my little guy had the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries which were a treat. I would absolutely - more like religiously- would return to this spot.
