There were also some watery beans and fresh tortillas that accompanied the meal. It was tasty. Not super exciting, but it was cool to finally try this style of lobster preparation. I also had a Margarita on the rocks... and it was as strong and refreshing. Service was fine. A mariachi band showed up in the room and they sang some songs. They played "Besame Mucho" for our table & when they were done, my dad handed them a $5, and the singer said, "Oh it is $10 per song." That was unexpected and would have been good to know beforehand. Overall, it was a fun albeit slightly messy experience..

Their beans are 100% the best in Rosarito, which include whole beans, creamed beans flavor and spices . Soooo good! I could eat the beans alone, as a meal!

Luckily, Siete Mares was a solid backup option. The restaurant has three floors, each with a different vibe. The first floor is quiet and relaxed, the second floor is pretty hot with no open windows for fresh air, and the top floor has a norteño band that sounds amazing but is super loud--definitely not the best for conversation. My family chose to sit on the bottom floor, where we enjoyed a nice cool breeze and a great ocean view. There's a small outdoor balcony, but it's only big enough for small groups. I started with a strawberry margarita, which was just okay--not much flavor. Then I tried a michelada with Dos XX beer and a Tajín-rimmed glass, and it was delicious! Definitely the better choice. For food, we had the lobster, stuffed shrimp, breaded shrimp, carne asada quesadilla, and rice with beans. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out as amazing. What really made the experience enjoyable was the great service! The staff was super attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Overall, it was a good experience, especially with the ocean view. I'd come back to have a michelada and listen to the Norteño band.

For a 2000Mx pesos meal for four people, this feels unfair, especially since rice and beans traditionally come with the dish. The tiny portions forced us to order more and pay extra. This is unfair for clientele that pays top dollar into a Mexican economy... off the flavor alone Don Luis has always been five stars. Other clients have warned us about this , and I don't like to see people being taken advantage of. Español: La comida es tan buena como siempre, y la langosta es de las mejores. Sin embargo, las porciones de arroz y frijoles ahora son muy pequeñas comparadas con antes. Para una cuenta de $2000 ppara cuatro personas, esto resulta injusto, sobre todo porque el arroz y los frijoles tradicionalmente vienen incluidos. Las porciones tan reducidas nos obligaron a pedir más y pagar de nuevo. Aún teniendo el dinero para pagarlo, es injusto. Hablando solamente del sabor don Luis siempre ha sido cinco estrellas. El suceso de las porciones ya se nos había mencionado por otros clientes, y no me gusta ver que se aprovechen los negocios de la gente que les paga.
