Caribbean Food Guide: 10 Latin food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Dorado

July 6, 2020 Merry Kessler

Reviews on Latin food in Dorado, Caribbean. Located on Puerto Rico’s north coast, Dorado is a resort town of relatively recent vintage. You’ll find luxury hotels and several championship golf courses. Of course, if you’re used to your local, scruffy public course, your score might suffer—gorgeous ocean views can be quite a distraction.

Our specialty is seafood and meats also have. Fusion of Puerto Rican and Caribbean flavors at the best price. In the same town of Dorado. Come and enjoy our family meal feeling.

Most unassuming, food truck, with some of the best food in Dorado. All home made, family run. The best ceviche in town - either fish, shrimp, crab or combo. Sometimes with coconut and mango sauce. Great plantain dishes and empanadas, including a caiman soecialty. A locals' favorite!

The place is basically a bunch of outdoor tables with two serving windows one for food the other for alcohol.It is very casual and prices are pretty moderate. Food was very enjoyable once we got it. It did take forever and several visits from 3 different servers for each step: getting drinks, ordering food, getting food and even getting a check. It was slow even by local standards.Having said that, we still had good time and enjoyed the food.

I enjoyed very much the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. The cooking is excellent. They use a lot of garlic. If you are not a big fan of garlic as for them to use less. The fresh tostones are wonderful and the fish is excellent. I like the marlin and the dorado.

I adore this restaurant! Great location, near the beach and funky outdoor bar with dance floor. Inside dining is more formal but very nice. If you’re addicted to AC dine inside. But if you want to be more relaxed eat outside to soak up the local culture. The red Snapper is excellent, fresh and served with tostones. Also had the octopus salad that was seasoned perfectly and very tender.

Great food, friendly and fast service. Very affordable also. Definitely recommend! Side note, Took an Uber there from Bacardi Distillery, but just FYI, We could not get an Uber back to hotel on a Friday night, but hotel helped us out and got us a taxi.

Went there on the final night of our stay. Were greeted by the owner who took the time to explain the menu. He had lobsters caught the same morning and we ordered them stuffed. Oh my God. They were two pound lobsters filed with every kind of seafood. Out of this world delicious. Sat through two Andrea Bocelli concerts but still could not finish the meal. Absolutely delicious.

We were in search of a waterfront restaurant in Dorado where we found this place through a google search. It ended up being across the street from the sea without much of a water view. The food and service were average. The best part was seeing a truck pulling into their unloading area filled with fresh plantains, which shed a good light on the restaurant and it’s use of fresh food. Would we go again? Maybe, just to give it a second chance.

Reviewed By Jerry C

Decided to find truly authentic Caribbean restaurant while staying near San Juan after a cruise. Found La Terraza on my map app and was not disappointed. Food is reasonably priced, although a bit on the pricey side, especially for large parties. Loved the mofongo and crab cakes. Restaurant has upstairs balcony bar that serves appetizers.

We were recommended this place by a local but the one thing I wish I would’ve known was the dress code....we were sadly underdressed. In spite of the our server was great. Our meals were satisfactory-ask for direction. The pina coladas were super and inexpensive

Best experience in Dorado. Benny, the sommelier, knows his wines well. Milton the bar tender makes the best cocktails in the area. We eat here every time we are in town. Great lobster, steaks, fish, and experience. Love the painting and art also. Have bought 3 pieces. Strongly recommend!
