    This is a good place for people watching, but no so much for food, or drinks for that matter. It's prime location is right on the main strip, near the hotels, and on the side street that leads to the famed Papas and Beer, and the main entrance to the beach. Everyone walks by here. Food and drinks will cost much more here, and simply won't be as good. I ordered a gin and tonic, light on the tonic, and received a large, flat sweet glass of something that may have had gin in it. Just don't do that here. Stick with beer. Fish taco: Mistake. It looked okay, but was bland and not crispy. Fries: Kids didn't finish them. I didn't feel like taking many pictures, as the food was just so blah. The other gringos did seem to be enjoying themselves though.

    Out of all the places we tried during this 3-4 day weekend this was by far the best one. We sat at the bar, our server was super attentive the food came out fast and it was delicious. I was happy that I got avocado without brown all over it and not raw shrimp like the previous locations I had visited.

    street view.

    Great Food Service and Music. I have tried Breakfast, really good choices for $5 dlls. Had the Waffle with 2 strips of Bacon. My friend had the 3 eggs with house potatoes, with Toast. Really fresh Oj and good coffee. At night had the Margaritas and shrimp mango tostada. Very tasty and Unique!

    Acua bar has a great location right in the middle of town and night life. The food is really good and the drinks are ok. Prices are reasonable and service is always great. I recommend them. I like their Clam chowder soup and their tacos. As soon as they sit you you get chips and salsa with a cup of a really good tuna salad. They have drink specials. We always have dinner here when in town. Great place for people watching due to their location in the middle of all clubs.

    We stopped for a bite while walking through the streets shopping and touring through Rosarito. GREAT place to sit outside and people watch and enjoy the weather while eating deliciousness. We got the Combo appetizer which was very good, but the chipotle shrimp (beer battered fried shrimp in a chipotle sauce) stole the show. It was amazing! I also got the Shrimp Gobernador taco. After trying three different shrimp tacos in Baja, this was my personal favorite. The cilantro pesto gave it the little bite it needed while the shrimp was perfectly cooked and the corn tortilla was definitely freshly made. My friends got the Cucumber Margarita and raved about it. Service was quick, staff was super friendly, atmosphere was top notch (highly recommend the outside seating) and the food was certainly worth writing about and adding to the list of places to visit again.

    Food was excellent!

    Food was excellent! Mix drinks were really weak. I ordered the ceviche on tostado with shrimp taco along with a Sangria. My boyfriend ordered a burger with fries and a coke. We both enjoyed the food, but could have done a little better with the mix drinks.

    Place has delicious drinks delicious delicious govenador and tqcos mariscos baja...bartender is very friendly, great spot to people watch on the strip...come one come all.

    A nice little spot right up from the beach. The tacos fish were really good, we tried the yellowtail, salmon, and the governor. Can't go wrong with any of those. The 2 for $6 margaritas only applied to the regular ones but truly can't complain about those either. The service was a little rude but overall this place is pretty good.

I was full after 2 but couldn't bare to waste the 3rd one so I stuffed myself. We will definitely be back. Also there was a guy walking around letting people try the fresh cheeses he made. They were delicious. We will now add this to our rotation everytime we are out here. So good. Also if you don't speak Spanish they do speak english so you don't have to worry. The place was biay and service was fast! Yum!!!.

My boyfriend is a big fan of the late Anthony Bourdain so he was ecstatic. We bought our crab and lobsters from the fisherman and brought it here for the ladies to cook. The place is super ghetto fabulous like others have said, nothing fancy about the plastic chairs and the pig hanging out by your feet while you eat. However, one of the best seafood meals I've had in my life. Will definitely be back soon!

Besides being in the news for drugs and human smuggling, Popotla is known for their fresh, daily caught seafood. Mariscos La Guerita is a restaurant here. Made from leftover lumber and the blue vinyl tarp, this ghetto- fabulous eatery was visited by Anthony Bourdain. To find this place, just look for a banner that says "Antoni Bourdan visits Rosarito Popotla". It's a bit intimidating if you do not speak Spanish. First, purchase your seafood from the countless vendors on the beach. (Fish range from 20-50 pesos per kilo) Once you purchase the fish, take it to the fish cleaning station. They will clean your fish for a tip. ($1 a fish) Take the cleaned fish to La Guerita and they will cook it up to your liking for about 30 pesos a fish. They will provide you with rice, beans, tortillas and an assortment of hot sauces. While you wait, make sure to check out the other stalls for their Cóctel de Mariscos or have a few beers. There must be crack sauce in the oil. Pescado Frito and the fish tacos are among the best I've had. (My wife has tried many times to duplicate the flavor but never can.) Spider crab and the sea urchin not so much. In the winter months, look for the brown box crab. It is better than the Alaskan variety. If you are in Rosarito, Mariscos La Guerita and Popotla is a great alternative to Puerto Nuevo. (Lobster Village) Just make sure you don't need to go to the banos. (bathroom) If you do, it's 5 pesos and a tetanus shot.

Our servers, were absolutely amazing. They knew some English, although my boyfriend is fluent, I appreciate they tried hard for me! lol :) Food: 5/5 My boyfriends and I ordered drinks, which included a mango margarita, a whiskey, and a lemonade. The drinks were seriously phenomenal! Perfect amount of sweet and alcohol! Then we ordered the food. They're a steak house, so I had to go with the steak tacos. It was amazing! The steak was so tender and seasoned to perfection. However, Our table side chili was the star of the show. My boyfriend even ordered 2 rounds, and we ate it the next day! I should've bought that stuff by the pint lol All around experience/pricing: 5/5 Zero cons, my experience here was nothing short of amazing, and we cannot wait to come back for more! The cost was also reasonable for what we received. $1,125 pesos, and $59 USD. Some may think it's a bit high for Mexico, but in LA it would've easily cost 100.
