My friend found this place on Yelp and we gave it a try-I was pleasantly surprised. It's right next door to a very busy bar so the parking lot was full. First off, Achilles is a charmer, Mr. Personality! He suggested the taco platter with a fish,shrimp and pork taco. Now, I know people rave over the fish tacos but... More

The food was very good and well priced. It came quickly. The restaurant was simple - but the food was great!! And it was so nice to have tasty vegan options.

On a recent weekend we stopped in here for lunch. They were not busy at all at 12:00, but I had read several good reviews that made me want to stop. I ordered 2 taco combo - 1 shrimp, 1 mahi and boyfriend ordered cancun burrito. Each came with a side of yellow rice and pinto beans. Boyfriend said the... More

This is NOT Taco Bell people! This is authentic Mexican food and it is good! El Dorado is a very casual off the main strip and boardwalk family restaurant. I love the fact that they offer Gluten-Free mexican food, it's hard to come by! I have ordered the Grilled Fish Tacos with a side of Guacamole each time we have... More

I tried El Dorado Restaurant while on vacation after reading good reviews on TripAdvisor. I really liked it. I had the Puerto Vallarta Burrito which consisted of grilled shrimp with spicy chorizo, guacamole, romaine lettuce, chipotle and pico de gallo. It was quite flavorful. The burrito was served with rice and beans. The salsa bar was more than adequate. It... More

The food wasn't that great and was fairly expensive. My husband and I ordered chicken tacos and were disappointed that they only came with chicken on them. There was a salsa bar but it was very minimal.

Form the great reviews we were expecting much more. The tacos are small and we thought the salsa bar was minimal. The food was good but not inexpensive. A vegetarian burrito had only tofu lettuce and tomato. Two tacos, a burrito,chips, and two beers came to 38.00? Service was fine.

Ok we relied on trip advisor to find us a local spot away from the rehoboth strip. What a great choice. What a great owner. His customer service is superb. He's charming on top of the fact that he and his team can cook. Our whole family loved it. My husband went a little crazy at the salsa bar. We... More

Achilles, the owner/chef*** has created a wonderful restaurant with home made-made to order true Mexican Food from the Puerta Vallarta part of Mexico. The fish tacos are now famous in this beach resort area, he serves real pinto beans, no refried beans here and his salsas are made daily and are they YUMMY!! Its located in a strip mall, its... More
