Popular Restaurants | Other Restaurants Tips | All Tips (23) We were hungry and decided to go into the first place we saw, which was Senor Frog.
The food was very expensive. Like $7 a plate for lunch. This isn't bad, but if we looked around we would have seen that there were little shops that had 2 tacos, beans and rice and a soda or beer for $3.
Also, the food they served was cold Leave a Comment Theme: MexicanPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average

With only less than $20 each to our names, Y. and I had to find a cheap place to eat at. We only had a coupla hours of sleep, were starving, and just needed a comfy place to plop our tooshies on and grub - and that's exactly what we found at Restaurante Los Arcos. Well, I wouldn't really consider it a restaurant per se, but the food was good. I got a super quesadilla and a shrimp taco for only $4 while Y. got two shrimp tacos for $3. And of course afterwards, we got desserts. Leave a Comment Theme: MexicanPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Blvd. Benito Juarez #29

Well, after that big salty meal, we wanted something sweet, and so we walked inside the first panaderia we saw. There were sweet breads everywhere along with other yummy Mexican goodies. I had difficulty deciding what to buy until a cute little muffin called my name. The muffins were 70 pesos a piece or $0.70/ea. Tasted great with cafe con leche.

Las Mananitas Restaurant on the outskirts of Rosarito Beach.
This restaurant is similar in its aesthetic qualities to the more popular 'El Nido' restaurant located on the main strip. The decor is in the rustic Mexican meets Acapulcan cabana style (if that's possible), with some tiki lounge elements. The music played there is your traditional Mariachi or Mexican ballads, these however are played at a very low volume, so you never have to sacrifice good conversation.
The atmosphere is very relaxed, there are no dress codes, you can go in as relaxed, casual, or nicely attired as you wish. Just be sure to wear shoes and a shirt, at the very least for respect's sake.
As I mentioned before, the prices here are very reasonable. You can enjoy a fantastic lunch or dinner for two, including drinks, appetizer and main dish for thirty dollars or less. The food servers are great and always willing to please. You'll thoroughly enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. This place is one of my best kept secrets, I hope those of you who visit soon will treat it accordingly.
I absolutely love the 'sopes' that they sell. Sopes are a small, thick, circular, corn 'masa' (dough) rounds that are fried and covered in refried beans, beef or chicken, lettuce, salsa, and cheese. These are truly delicious.
If you have an adventurous palatte you'll truly enjoy the stuffed and rolled shrimp. The shrimp are butterflyed and stuffed with marlin and vegetables, rolled in strips of bacon, and covered in a hollandaise type sauce, truly delicious. Though the restaurant is outside Rosarito Beach city limits, it's a very clean establishment with courteous service. You'll find the prices accessible, highly reasonable, and the ambiance relaxing. Have one of the large Margaritas and enjoy your meal, I know I always do! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Las Mananitas is located about five to seven kilometers out of Rosarito Beach on the old highway towards Ensenada (it's right before Fox Studios, where a large part of Titanic was filmed).

Ortega's is now a "chain" restaurant and there are Ortega's in Puerto Nuevo as well as in Rosarito. The address and phone number here is for the Playas Rosarito location, but I prefer the beach side location in Puerto Nuevo because the dining room is upstairs and the view of the ocean is better.
To reach the Puerto Nuevo location drive south some miles from Rosarito until you reach Puerto Nuevo, there is only one turn off for Puerto Nuevo and from the road of that entrance drive/walk to the last road before the beach, it will be on your right side.
The lobster is always tender, in fact more tender than any restaurant, I've been to charging four times the amount paid in Mexico.
The service in Mexican restaurants is generally very accommodating, which I like. At Ortega’s the servers "aim-to-please!"
Langosto Puerto Nuevo, translated into English is Lobster Puerto Nuevo. This dish normally consists of two lobster tails, frijoles, (Beans, not necessarily re-fried.) And flour tortillas. At Ortega's, a green salad is also served with it. This is my favorite and of course, a Margarita to drink! Leave a Comment

The restaurant at the Calafia Resort is advertised as offering an International Cuisine. I however categorize it as a Seafood restaurant because the Langosta Puerto Nuevo or Camerones Coasta Azul are the items I recommend. The food is well prepared, though a bit price--y. I usually stop here for the fantastic view, the relaxed atmosphere and a drink or two with friends. Then, it's on to Puerto Nuevo.
If you choose to stay for a meal you won't be disappointed--unless you just don't like real Mexican food. Picture: Me along one of the terraces at Calafia, in the background you can see part of the beach along the coast south of Rosarito Beach.
Lobster Puerto Nuevo or Camerones Coasta Azul--shrimps wrapped in crispy bacon--and Margaritas or an 1800 Tequila shooter! Mexican Margaritas are my favorite!

Fish tacos are very popular all over Baja and some of the best ones that I've had were in Rosirito Beach. You can get these local specialities everywhere from street vendors pushing carts to walk up window type restaurants to the nicer sit down establishments. Any way you want to get it you can't go wrong.
My favorite would have to be from the carts with the locals. The fish is battered and fried right in front of you. Once it reaches the perfect crispy golden brown it's transferred to 2 soft corn tortillas where it is joined by cabbage, salsa fresca and a special sauce. Hot sauce is available if you need to add an extra kick.
Eaten standing up , this meal is fast and fairly inexpensive at about $1 per taco when I last had them. I would assume that since that time the price has gone up a bit so bring a little extra money which you can use to buy beer as well.
Fish Tacos and a beer. You can't beat that combo. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: You'll find them just about anywhereOther Contact: take a walk, you're bound to fin

There's this little shack of a restaurant, which is about every other restaurant. It's on the opposite side of the beach.
Fish tacos and homemade salsa. Damn good. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Typical fare as outside-type vendors, except they use 100% vegetable oil (not lard) to cook in. This location follows similarly the concept of Orange County, California based taco-store chain Wahoo's with inscribed pictures of notable surfers lining the walls.

Macho Taco is not quite authentic as some of the Taco stands in Rosarito, but it's nice if you're looking for a little bit more of a social atmosphere. Downstairs is a local mexican restaurant -- with great thick burritos that will fill you up after a night of Pacificos. The other nice thing is it is open almost all night plus the upper levels turn into a pretty well turned on dance club. During the day, go to the top level and enjoy the view both of the Rosarito strip and the waves in the background.
