    This is located on the right side as you head into the Popotla area in Rosarito. We ate in the casual booth area but there are other splices to eat in the building. Food was delicious, service was great!

    Shrimp Diabla Style was fantastic! It was fresh, savory, and spicy. Came with a side salad, rice, corn tortillas, and a wonderful small cup of fish soup as a starter. The corn tortillas were "ok", but the dish didn't really need them anyways. We had chips, salsa and guacamole as a starter. Chips were fresh and crispy, salsa was perfect and guac was creamy and tasty. The fish taco was also very good. The place is clean and staff is friendly. Prices were good, but not a steal (example, Shrimp Diabla was $175 MP/$9.05 AD). I'd go back and try many other items, because based on the quality of what we had, seems like you can't go wrong here.

    Food is good would come back. We are not seafood soup people but when we travel we like to try new things and it was actually good! Kinda pricey but it is a tourist spot so that explains that. Everything we tried is pretty good ! Don't skip this place.

    This place is soo good especially the Gobernador Tacos and the cocktails definitely a place to go and enjoy some delicious Mariscos in Rosarito BC Mexico

    Wanted to check out Popotla and see what all the hoopla was about- Turns out, its a quiet, sleepy little town that happens to serve up some of the freshest, most flavorful seafood in Baja. And very cold beers as well. We tried fish tacos, which were great both grilled and fried, Ceviche, made with Octopus and fish, super fresh and flavorful, and a few more specialties. Of all the little roadside shacks available this one is the most worthy.

    Tasty Seafood, lots of different dishes. Perfect for a quick couple of fish or shrimp tacos and a cold beer.

We ordered a few items, and everything was fire. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. The fish was cooked perfectly, and everything just hit right. Service was great and super friendly, which made the experience even better. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you order here--it's all fresh and delicious. If you're in Rosarito and craving fish tacos, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Just don't forget to bring cash.

We parked on the street(plenty of parking) we walked in and were greeted right away. We ordered fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They make them right in front of you and ask you how you want them prepared. I ordered 3 fish tacos and my boyfriend ordered 2 fish tacos & 2 shrimp. The tacos are HUGE FRESH & DELICIOUS ! 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!!!.

    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.

    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!
