El Dorado Restaurant

August 9, 2025

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing location. We had dinner on the sand, on a magical full moon. The food is creative, definitely a modern take on coastal Mexican food. All flavors were on point, fresh, and unique to traditional Mexican cuisine. Staff was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. This is a place I highly recommend for a nice dinner out, or a romantic evening. Recommended to make reservations for dinner service on the beach.

We walked the beachfront or boards after walking el malecón. The place is peaceful and tranquil lights. Live music and in fact pretty good with both Spanish and English covers. You are greeted at the door and quickly sat down. It was a hot day and fans were setup for comfort. A cold towel and water is served ahead of anything else. A plus for me. A waiter then comes and takes drink orders and is assisted in serving additional drinks and ice is often served. We order calamari, Del Mar dish and the steak and lobster. I also tried the house specialty drink for the month of September. A tuna margarita with pomegranate juice, it was ok. It is garnished with both the tuna fruit and the pomegranate seeds but the blend of flavors were not there. The calamari was very tender and mostly lime /lemon flavor it missed the mark on crunchy and flavor. Del Mar was also ok, blend and small portions, just enough to have a state of each. I did not enjoy the sauce and potatoes at the bottom. But I also like to see my food and the low lighting prevented that. The steak and lobster was a good portion, enough for 2 people. Tender well cooked steak and juice lobster. That was nice in presentation as well as taste. Overall a good place to visit. The bathrooms are clean and air conditioned.

Overall an attractive restaurant with a pleasant ambience. Unfortunately it is VERY expensive even by Los Angeles standards. US$17.50 (MX$315) for a margarita is a bit much for PV! While the service was very good, ALL of our food was pretty bland. I started with the fig salad and followed with the catch of the day (Mahi mahi) which was sauteed with grilled vegetables and served on a bed of mashed potatoes that I'm pretty sure were made from a box. The fish was cooked nicely but was very bland. The salad was ok but not particularly memorable. My wife had the crab cake appetizer followed by scallops for the entre. The crab cakes were both bland and salty as were the scallops. We finished with flan for dessert and it was good. Given the price (it was the most expensive meal we had in PV for the week and we ate at adjacent La Palapa and Si Senior beach front restaurants for notably lower cost earlier in the week.

Excellent food and service in a perfect spot. Food was clearly marked for gluten free needs (thank you!). Grilled fish tacos for me — SO good! Very filling. My husband had the shrimp ceviche and oysters, he loved them both. Service was top tier, loved our lunch here.

Amazing food! We tried the shrimp tacos and their calamari’s and omg it did not disappoint us! Cocktail drinks were also on point! Highly recommend this place!
