    Service fee????

    Service was a bit slow. Took a bit for the waiter to come and take our order. He was very polite. The chips were stale but the food was excellent. The only reason I will be giving a 3 star review is because we got charged a "service fee". Not sure for what or why. My thought is that it was a pre calculated tip. There was only 5 of us in our group. Unfortunately we didn't pay attention to the charges until afterwards. The disappointing thing is that we were asked if we wanted to add a tip to the credit card payment and we told her no that we were leaving it in cash. My advice is that you pay attention to your charges before paying. Unfortunately will not return.

    Yum Y.

    Good Customer Service ! It's all starts with complementary Valet Parking. This place is entering downtown Rosarito Baja California Mexico. Great Spot with a Live Banda, great music and great seafood plus drinks A+. My girl and I had a Bontanero Appetizer which was damm good. Note just right for 2 persons. A mixture of Shrimp, Octopus and Oysters all mix in a with sauce dips and so many flavors. For dinner we had the Camarones Embarazasos " Pregnant Shrimps" it comes with RICE and Salad. BIG @ss shrimps each stuff with Bacon each shrimps has a different sauces. Finger licking good. Food that you won't find in Los Angeles. We will return before we leave for another round of drinks and different food recommendations. Attach is the menu ... Enjoy !

    Great service. Not your run of the mill street vendor shrimp cocktails. I had a tuna tostada. Kinda like a poke bowl but not exactly.

    Two Reviews! Different days We always enjoy our stops at Tito's we came for Mother's Day 5/10 and…read moreit did not disappoint. It took 45 minutes because it was a holiday but so worth it. I ordered the Shrimp Zareandado plate. Servings are large and food was very tasty. I had a lot of leftovers to take home. Only issue I had was that red onions they place under the shrimp had too much habanero and was way too spicy for me. I love spicy but it was overkill. So next time I will request plain red onions. Otherwise my food was delicious. Review 5/31 We stopped in to grab a quick bite before heading home and like always food and service was great. We were seated immediately. My Hubby ordered his favorite Taco with salmon, cheese, caramelizes onion and shrimp and avocado and chipotle sauce. I had the Tito California taco it is a taco dorado with a chili California, cheese and marlin inside the chili, carmelized onions and shrimp avocado and chipotle sauce. So tasty and great flavor with every bite. It is a meal in itself. Love every bite

    Got a suggestion from a local guy to try this place. The fam and I packed up and drove out to this…read morespot. It's a short drive from the main drag in Rosarito, but nothing too far. We all had the fish tacos and they are the biggest fish tacos I've ever seen. They had 4 pieces of fried fish and all the trimmings. Honestly, each one of these ta os are a meal in its self. That's all we had this time, but they were great and very affordable. Give them a try I'm sure you'll not regret it!

    THE BEST TABLE SIDE SALSA IVE EVER HAD! AMAZING DRINKS AND FOOD AS WELL!…read more Customer service: 5/5 The customer service was seriously great! My boyfriend and I wanted a nice dinner, and I looked up on Yelp and found this place! (YAS MEXICO YELP- COME THRU!) as soon as we got there, we were instantly greeted with a warm welcome. 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.

    Unfortunate the only good thing here are the flour tortillas!! As far as the food terrible, and…read moreexpensive!

    I saw the high rating for this place and went for it. By coincidence we happen to end up at the…read moresame place Anthony Bourdain ate at. 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!

    Under the white arch between Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo, you will find the quaint fishing village of…read morePopotla. 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.
