The pan seared red snapper was fabulous! Indoor was rather loud with a large party beside us but otherwise the whole experience was top notch and the price was surprisingly reasonable. Definitely recommend a stop here if you’re in the area.

A must if you're in Puerto Rico, you have to stop by this amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing. The view of the island is fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I can't express how beautiful the views are. The food tastes delicious, and it's traditional Puerto Rican food 😋. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Views are outstanding. Ordered the queen snapper whole(cartucho) and it was on the dry side. Flavor good but too dry. I'll have a red snapper instead - smaller and might be easier to cook to keep moist.

"The restaurant “EL DORADO” in Salinas is simply spectacular. From the freshness of the seafood to the creativity in the presentation of the dishes, this place definitely does not disappoint. The ambiance is cozy and the service is impeccable. I recommend trying their Mofongo Relleno. A gastronomic experience that you will surely remember! Without a doubt, a place worth visiting in Salinas, Puerto Rico."
