    Had high hopes for this restaurant, as it's beach front and was recommended by a local who also suggested its neighboring restaurant, La Palapa. We should've known, judging by the tons of diners present at La Palapa compared to the few patrons of El Dorado that there was a clear difference. Service was average at best. Our appetizer (mussels) were spoiled and smelled the moment the lid was removed. They offered to remake it, but there was no way we wanted to chance it. Drinks were average. My meal was fine, but my wife's steak and mashed potatoes arrived cold. Although they attempted to make up for the mishaps towards the end, it was not enough to make me return or recommend dining there, despite an incredible view and sunset.

    Overpriced tourist trap. If you know what seafood and bone marrow look and taste like, you will be disappointed.

    Very awesome Ambience the reason you would go there food was good but at the price point it should be. Based on Mexican restaurants cannot seem to get out of there for less than $120

    The ambiance at El Dorado is beautiful, definitely a great place to take in the sunset, and they do a fantastic job with the decor. However, we had the feeling that the servers needed to up sell us on the food and were disappointed when we didn’t order the more expensive dishes, kind of the same feeling we have gotten with most of the beach restaurants. The food was pretty bland and not a great combination of flavours for the price they’re charging. We’ve been to multiple restaurants in zona romantica and there are 4 that we would recommend over this one, where we always look forward to dinner, always feel welcomed and relaxed with zero pressure. I won’t mention them here. I will say the lady who greeted us was lovely and they did bring out something special for our anniversary which we really appreciated. This restaurant has great potential, they just need to improve the food and not stress if people don’t order the fancier meals.☺️
