    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.☺️

    Our waiter Cesar was amazing as always. The food was great, I had the salmon, perfectly cook delicious dish. My wife had the lobster tail, which was gigantic! My daughter had the stone crab enchiladas. They were not a hit, could be a good idea for a dish just not executed very well, lacked flavor, and had several pieces of shell in it from the crab.. overall experience was worth it. Cheesecake, was to die for as well as the Key lime pie definitely would recommend
