Arrived at 3 pm and placed an order for 2, to go. There was a party of 6 already seated and another party of 2. Both had ordered and received their orders after about 20 minutes. More people arrived after us and were enjoying drinks. The atmosphere was nice but after seeing 2 parties that arrived AFTER us received their food and being told it would still be another 30 minutes until we received ours we chose to get a refund and leave. I understand being a bit slow due to only 1 cook in the kitchen but if this is the case, this should be made clear as soon as customers arrive and orders should be in a first come, first serve order. Even with 1 cook, 1 hour and 15 minutes is insanely long to wait for an order of fish tacos and fish po boy.

I Travel alot and like to try new places. I was recommended Dorados and I wasn't impressed. The wait was Long just to order drinks and the waitress was a sweet heart, I think her name was river but that poor girl was being run ragged. There was a lady sitting behind the bar on her laptop, im assuming the manager, was just sitting there not helping at all. Food took forever and it was ok. Defiantly not coming back and they need to hire more help or replace the manager with someone who actually helps.

Enjoyed a night here a few weeks ago with family. We were a bigger group (10 of us) and we didn't feel cramped. Great location.The night we went, there were only 2 bartenders who were also having to waitress. They definitely could have used some help. But our drinks kept us patient for the food. And they were doing the best they could running around all night. The kitchen is also a little slow but the food was good.So all in all, keep in mind the is a hangout spot. Don't expect fast food service. Take in the scenery and relaxWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

I found this place because they had a booth at the Salsa Festival and their salsa was my favorite. They gave me a token for a free beer at the restaurant. My coworker and I went for lunch one day and the rest of the food was excellent as well. He got the brisket nachos and I got the fried fish and crab stuffed jalapeno appetiser. Everything was great. Whoever is in the kitchen knows what they're doing! I wish I'd gotten some pictures before we started digging in. Coolest little place on the water. Can't wait to go back. Love it.

Dorado's Restaurant and Bar is one of my favorite place to go... I will be always going over there when I go to Aransas Pass again. Great people over there. Kids are welcome to come over there too. They have bean bag throwing into the board hole (I forgot what it's called) there anytime and live music on weekend. Love this place. People that work there are very friendly. Bartender worker are great and so friendly.

I love this place! It’s the perfect safe casual and coastal place to hang out for those of us not into the “bar scene”. The fact that it is outside is THE most important to me.

A great place for drinks, food, and live music. Dorado's is situated in Conn Harbor near the public boat lunch. Service is excellent. The food is amazing. We ordered brisket and shrimp tacos, chips & queso, fried pickles, kids cheese quesadilla, and kids mini corndogs. All made fresh.A great place for families. There's a grassy area for kids to run around a bit. If you catch it at the right time, live music & entertainment brings on an enjoyable and fun atmosphere. It's one of APs hidden gems.

Bartender was condesending and rude. The drink I ordered is not what I was served. Ive been bartending over 20 years and if someone asks me how I made a drink I can list every ingredient......not "coke and sweet and sour and all the liquors" I watched and no liquors were poured. The chips and queso were decent. My BIGGEST ISSUE was the Porta potties. Hubby utilized one and said out of the 40 years he's worked in construction he's never been in one so disgusting. My question is where do employees use the restroom and how or where do they wash their hands.Won't be back and do not recommend.
