El Dorado
Must try
Barceló recommends the seafood pipirrana (tomato and pepper salad), the pescaíto (the boquerones are a must), the meatballs, the omelette and the barbecue wings. In reviews: Galician-style octopus, garlic prawns, fried squid, lamb skewers and meat paella (highly praised). In October 2026 one diner picked out the croquettes, the goat's cheese and the meatballs.
About
More than 25 years serving Andalusian cooking next to the Bajondillo (Turismo de Andalucía), with a terrace and a balcony with sea views. Very wide menu: tapas, fish, seafood, meats and even pizzas.
Good to know
Book at weekends. Check the bill before paying and ask the waiters what is on today: several customers name them for the good advice they give.
