This was our first time at this restaurant. It is PR cuisine and was extremely good. There is parking on premises which you should use as it is a very residential neighborhood near the public beach.

Local seafood place across the street from the public beach in Dorado. The food was decent. nothing special. I couldn't find any place in Dorado which serves a whole grilled lobster. I was led to believe that this was the best seafood spot in Dorado. They only had lobster tails on the menu.My wife had a battered and fried lobster... More

My family and i had dinner here 1 evening and the food was just average, the apps seemed to be frozen items just thrown on the menu, Nothing standing out about the main courses, the staff was very good having things out before we asked, best thing I can say is the Jack Daniels Cocktails were good, other then that...

Place was filled with families. Quite a few "happy birthday" sing alongs. Our meals consisted of breaded grouper, Garlic and butter Mahi Mahi and steak. All came with veggies,bread and the BEST red beans and rice. This was the most enjoyable meal we had in the Dorado area.

The food is good but overpriced. The menu and saloon need an update. Service is average. Easy to get location. It is more a classy "fonda" than a restaurant.

A must-try restaurant if you are staying in Dorado. Don't miss the seafood asopao and the mofongo., as well as the moist and totally yummy tres leches cake.

Wow! The grouper we had last night was amazing. So fresh, tender and tasty. Glad that we ordered the sauces on the side as they may have overpowered the fish. We had the mahi nuggets and they were great as well. Very reasonably priced. And the deserts were also great. The three milk calk was so tender and moist and... More

This was an unexpected gem away from the resorts that you need to find. It is by the public beach and I believe it is a local favorite. The service was a little slow, but the food was delicious and plentiful. The shrimp, rice and beans were so tasty. It is a bit pricy for where it is located, but... More

The food is hit or miss. "mofongo" is very good, seafood salad has more greens that seafood, sangria is not the greatest but the ambiance is nice and the service is good.
