For RVers
Taking the rig to Dorado’s
The practical stuff we wished someone had told us before we pulled in.
Bring the tow vehicle
Dorado’s doesn’t post RV parking. From The Palms RV Park it’s 3.8 miles via W Wheeler Ave and Bigelow St.
Check the day
Google lists Dorado’s as closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, but other listings show it open. Call (361) 758-6244 before you go.
Time it for sunset
Sunset and the waterfront location each come up in Google reviews, so plan an early dinner with a view.
Ask about dogs
Google reviewers say staff brought their dog water, and a directory mentions a dog-friendly tiki area. Confirm before you bring a pet.
