    Beautiful experience by the pacific ocean waters. Wonderful service where the staff displays extraordinary hospitality. The breakfast is amazing. We come here every time we visit Rosarito. It's a nice beautiful hidden gem. A must in my opinion. The Cadillac drink was fresh and savory. There are no wrong menu choices here. Come early on the weekend because the locals love this place ... as they should. Chef's kiss!

    Súper recomendado. El lugar está super bonito. El ambiente sensacional. Al lado de la playa. ideal para ir con tu pareja, familia o amistades. La comida deliciosa y el personal super amable. Sin duda volveré muy pronto.

    Definitely ALOT of Americans here. Looks like retirees from the looks of it. Really Nice module home and RV park. The views are spectacular. Here's the issue we had.... EVERYONE around us and I mean EVERY table Around us was being taken care of. We were sitting for 15 minutes after our drinks were brought to us and I had to flag someone down to even order. Mind you, my husband is black so he was NOT HAPPY. He even tried to flag someone down, but they either ignored him or didn't see him. Either way NOT a good look. But the table Next to us had 6 older white people that 3 different serves were tending to. SMH you catch my drift here. Then I tried ordering menudo, they said they don't have any but then later said it would be 30 minutes. What?! Geez why have it on the menu then? Ordered steak and eggs. Steak had a weird taste to it. Potatoes had good flavor. Chilaquiles had great flavor. Food came out fast but Food was like warm. Food was barely a 3 for us. Prices are US prices. Reflective of the clients it serves, I see. Now the two stars are for the views and food, but we just couldn't get over the blatant racism we dealt with. Unfortunately, I will not be letting others know about this spot ever.

    Wonderful breakfast with a view and excellent service! I recommend the chilaquiles verdes, French toast and arrachera omelet!

    I had the aguachiles and my husband got camarones en las rocas ! We finish everything!

    Delicious food and very chill vibe! Cozy almost too calm but is not! Great service! I'll come back !!

    We came for breakfast and it was delicious! Great service and ambiance as well. Seating inside or outside the place is beautiful and over looks the ocean. After we order food shortly came out. Since this place is a Bakery as well, I would suggest ordering a type of French Toast or crepe BUT everything is good. Chilaquiles verdes and omelette poblano were great as well.

    Disappointed ! First of if like to say that it is cheaper to eat in US then here we spent an exaggerate amount of money for the mediocre and bland food we received ! It's sad because the view it self is spectacular but this is the best thing you will get here Save your money

    Spent the weekend in Rosarito & came here to celebrate a birthday. Definitely high end, with AMAZING views. Highly recommend coming during the day so you can enjoy the scenery. Literally everything we ordered was amazing. Pricey, but worth it! I unfortunately didn't get a picture of everything ordered. We'd return again when visiting!

    Chicken and Steak tacos

    Everything was Excellent here! Don't listen to the few Negative, we went tonight . The waiter Juan his service was excellent recommendations were excellent! He was so kind and patient had the Shrimp tacos I highly recommend and the New York steak ones as well. He recommended a pineapple drink also very good . Gotta try it Thank you Juan for excellent service . Everyone was so kind ! Try it you will not be disappointed

    My husband wanted to take me here for awhile so we decided to come two 7-8 seater SUVs deep w/ the whole fam. Lol. Our party was chaotic w/ a buncha toddlers & small children. We drove out here & the entrance was odd to me. It was in the back of some trailer homes. So that deff threw me off. Parking is on the side of the restaurant. They have a pool right in front of the restaurants entrance. We opted to sit inside since it was a bit chilly. Ambiance is nice & upscale down to the tables/chairs. Stunning views of the beach after we finished eating & decided to go outside. Food was mediocre. Not the best I've had. Probably wouldn't come here again. It's a one & done restaurant that we were able to check off our list. One of the best dishes out of the many plates we ordered I have to say was the KID'S PIZZA! Lol. I'm not kidding! The pizza was fresh & made to order. Not any ordinary frozen pizza. Dough was great. Mini full size pizza that is great option for children.

    Sunset from my table.

    The menu and the interior have been upgraded. This is a must-try location. The seafood garlic combination was great. The free appetizers ahead of the meal were really different than the typical Baja stuff. Delicious meal with expert bartender and wait staff.

    High end fancy restaurant meant for date nights and not chaotic big party with kids like my party lol the staff handled our party of 15 with the crazy kids pretty good! The food is on the pricier side but still cheaper than here in the US. There were some items that did cost about the same. We all ordered a bunch of different items and appetizers and drinks. The food was good but nothing to wow me. The seafood didn't taste as fresh as I thought it would.

On the menu they are known for their firey hot molcajete meals loaded with shrimp and/or beef and plenty of side dishes to feed the whole table. One of the new owners even came up and introduced himself to us. Great service!

    If you're near Rosarito this place is worth going to. It's a very interesting place. You can eat…read moreupstairs (And you should) it has a bar but also restaurant seating. From upstairs you can see the ocean. This place attracts locals & expat's alike and features karaoke on the weekends. We didn't come on a weekend, we came on a Monday and the place just had a few locals at the bar when we arrived for dinner. The food was really good, we tried too many things because the serving size is HUGE on some dishes like the shrimp molcajete & the carne asada Quesadilla. Either dish could be split between two people. My favorite thing was the fish taco and I could probably eat 2 or 3 if that's all I ordered. Bottom line the food was really good- the ambiance is kinda corky but I liked it. Our waitress was really nice although I wish we would have been warned as to how much food we were ordering- we simply couldn't finish a lot of it! All that said I will definitely go back when in the area, as I mentioned the fish tacos are fantastic! Recommended!! Happy eating!
