It was my first time riding my motorcycle into Mexico & we got to experience Rocky Point Rally,…read moreNovember 2025. I knew thru my friend's recommendation, Cholla Bay Oyster House was definitely on my list of venturing away from the Calle 13 hub. Thank goodness I paid attention to my girlfriend's footage and noticed there's a decent stretch of packed sand from Diego's Tiki Bar to CBOH. It's an 8 minute drive (4.9km) between those two locations in the sand. My bestie & I are pavement princesses and are not comfortable riding on sand. So, we opted to rent a Rhino ATV and it was a great trip out to Choya Bay. There's decent parking out front, but, you can also take the sandy driveway down below and park close to the bay (on the rocks or close to the restaurant walls, if space is available). There's decent parking weather was sunny, not overly warm, and beautiful enough to sit outside underneath their covered patio. Since my bestie's a picky eater- (no seafood), CBOH had something for everyone. They got pasta, quesadillas, carne, pollo, soups & salads, etc. There's also Specials of the Week (and they vary by which day). I was curious about the Tuna Chicharron. I was wondering if it was similar to Nobu's fried fish skins. But here, it's like ordering tuna chunks that's breaded, fried, & served with drizzles of a teriyaki bbq sauce (SO GOOD!) and fresh guacamole. Each bite was tender and delicious. The shrimp ceviche tostada was good. There's a difference in the shrimp taste from Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), compared to Gulf of Mexico or from the Pacific Ocean. Since hubby and I love us some battered fish tacos- we were NOT expecting these huge fillets that came inside EACH taco! Gasp!! And mind you, they come in an order of 3!! These battered fish tacos are NOT what you get back home in San Diego. One order of 3 here can feed 2 people, if ya'll wanna make room in your belly for more yum yums! You'll actually get TWO fish fillets PER taco! Staff is friendly and always checks on you. Come out for the gorgeous views, fresh food and

We chose El Meson after reading so many great reviews, but unfortunately our experience was very…read moredisappointing. We were 2 adults and 1 child. The restaurant had no AC, and it was extremely hot and humid inside. The fans didn't help, and we were all sweating the entire time. The homemade chips were greasy, very hard, and they only brought a tiny bowl of it. We ordered a meat platter, but the steak was overcooked. No one came to check on our table during the meal. In the end, we paid $157 for one meat platter for 2, french fries for the child, with no drinks since they don't serve alcohol. They don't accept credit cards and when paying cash they exchange rate 15 pesos for 1 US dollar which is lower than everywhere else. I am recommending you exchange the money before you go. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere did not match the excellent reviews we had read. We left disappointed and couldn't wait to leave because we were so uncomfortable.

The restaurant was very clean and updated. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It wasn't crowded when we got there but quickly filled up, so get there a little earlier than dinner time. Now to the food, I had the Diablo shrimp and was so, so good! If you like spicy this is definitely spicy so be ready for it, the waiter warned me haha- but I will definitely get it again. It also comes with rice and a small salad. Mom had the whole fried fish and it came with French fries and coleslaw. She loved the fish ( I did try it and would get it again). Lastly, my sister got the grouper seasoned in a brown butter sauce ( I can't remember the name of the sauce just know brown butter). It was just okay. She said she'd try it another way but not with that particular seasoning. We also had fresh margaritas which were very good.

Good food and good service. Much better than the other touristy places you get while in Rocky Point.read more

We were the only ones in the restaurant when we went. The young girl who took care of us was great! She was friendly & super sweet. Hubby got a Michelada & added a shot of Tito's since there was no alcohol in the tomato juice part of the drink. He said it was really good. My sangria was good. It's made with pineapple juice. We ordered the chips & salsa. We also ordered the guacamole. The chips & salsa were good. I was happy there was no heat in the salsa since I am a huge whimp when it comes to spicy food. The guacamole was really good after we added some salt & lime juice. I normally don't eat guacamole, but I liked it too. We went "out of our box" & tried the whole fried fish. We split it. We asked her to add rice & beans if it didn't come with it. It was huge. The fish was fried perfectly! Hubby loved it. I liked it too. It was moist. The rice was good. The refried beans were excellent! I don't know what they do, but the texture & flavor was the best we have ever had. I loved them. We will definitely make this place are go to when we come down again. Please note tips are cash only in case you don't carry cash!

If you keep chowing down like there's no tomorrow, then you can taste the richness of the sauce, but it was damn good! The rib eye chicharron was ok. It didn't have as much flavor as I'd like for that type of dish, so it was my least favorite, and the shrimp ceviche was pretty good, but not fantastic. It also lacked flavor and a little bit of zing or that something special (what that special ingredient is, a good cook can tell you! I just try to devour food, not prepare it!) Overall, I'd go back here just for the seafood volcano and their all u can eat chips and salsa!! Amen!!

Even in July, it wasn't too hot out there around 6pm. People even go down to the beach and swim after dinner! Not many places you can do that. The food is perfect. My shrimp parmigiana was cooked just right, it wasn't soft but it melts in your mouth. The sauce & cheese was delicious. The appetizer was fried calamari which came with a nice spicy marinara. My girlfriend ordered the blackened grouper which was also delicious. Complete with an icy cold coke and ocean view, this was my favorite meal in Rocky Point. Service was very friendly and they took great care of us. As a bonus, there's also a very sweet, friendly cat who was out in the parking lot. I said hi to him and he was waiting on my car when we were done. I gave him some left over grouper. So watch out for him as you drive in, and if you see "Grouper", go say hi to him. We'll definitely go back to Mare Blu!

The Margarita Cadillac is delish, can't come here without trying at least one.

I had the red chili and onions on my enchilada as it took me back to my grandmother's house. Others at the table had the red chili enchiladas flat - also reminiscent of grandma's. Everything was delicious. I wasn't a fan of the beans but i rather eat everything else, you have so many choices. The chili isn't hot as you will notice most restaurants in Mexico don't have hot salsas. But they are very flavorful. Mom loves the bacon cheese fries and wings. We also tried the Mexican shrimp cocktail. I forgot to take a picture before we started eating it, but it was sooo good and had tons of freshness and big shrimp so yummy!
