It is almost that time of the day and if you think that this week-end at the Delaware Beaches, parking was not so bad…come next week you are going to be so happy I mentioned El Dorado.
Let me just tell you that I am a fan of El Dorado…and so are all the members of my family. The first time we visited this casual and locals’ hangout, we immediately were attracted to its family atmosphere. Aquiles is the owner and he has the brightest smile in all Rehoboth Beach…really!!
El Dorado is located off of Coastal Highway on Rt. 24, at 18766 John J. Williams Highway, Suite, 1, right here, in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-645-1596. Website? http://www.eldoradorehoboth.com. On any given day, you will find customers that include the chefs and owners of other restaurants in Rehoboth Beach. Aquiles’ El Dorado is special and very affordable. Come as you are; off the beach and always plenty of parking to be found. It opens Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Please check the website for a complete menu and specials.
Aquiles’ cooking is considered Baja Style, which means that it is basically Mexican cuisine with an emphasis on seafood. Baja Style cooking also takes no prisioners; a mix of salsas, sauces, seafood tacos, burritos….sooo good.
The center of the restaurant has a Salsa Bar. You can add these condiments to your tacos and burritos.
An avocado salsa made with fresh avocados, tomatillos and just a touch of serrano chili peppers for extra cha-cha!
Tomatillos Salsa made with fresh tomatillos and roasted chili peppers (chile de arbol); a unique flavor.
Pico de Gallo…In Mexico it is really called “Salsa de Una”. It is a fresh blend of chopped veggies; bright in color and definitely with plenty of flavor.
Aquiles also offers his own marinated onions…Aquiles Style with fresh habanero chili peppers, carrots and onions….Oh yes..hot!
Of course, I was looking for something low in fat. The suggestion was that I would have the Mahi Mahi burrito, grilled, accompanied with rice and beans. Perfect.
My son ordered the fish tacos…his favorite with rice and beans.
And, when Earl showed up to eat lunch…of course he sat with us. Earl is the owner of Rehoboth Dairy which has the best milk in Delaware!! He is a fan of El Dorado and his choice of tacos was grilled steak!!
Chit chatting, great lunch, with family and friends…is always priceless!
