I was at splash on July the 13th. Having a nice dinner outback on the balcony .when I heard a crash ,and I see from the balcony a big cloud of dust out front where our cars are parked, people started screaming,,car crash, car crash..sure enough ,a jeep had crashed and rolled ,sending rocks in the air and breaking my rear window, and the windows of 5 other cars. As I was in shock of the damage to my car and the others cars ..the waiter comes out and says. And don't forget to pay your bill.. $275.00 dollars later..for a replacement window. a phone call from splash would be nice ,maybe a complementary Dinner.. The manager took all our names and numbers,I believe er name is Cecelia. To whom it may concern ,,do not park your cars out front..and to splash,look into having speed bumps put in at the curve.. read more

After being here several times, it's time to give them a serious thumbs up! Definitely five stars. The first time we came here was last August. We were with a large group that (sort of) took over the place, while we were celebrating the day after a destination wedding. Everyone had a great time. We ordered individually and the staff was very accommodating. I was ordering a pitcher of margarita's at a time, so that I could walk around and pour them for friends - lots and lots of fun, with a lot of support from the staff. Before continuing, it is important to know that the setting is spectacular. Spectacular. One more time: SPECTACULAR! I think that the name "Splash" is from the waves crashing unto the rocks directly in front of the bar. You could not ask for a more spectacular (yes, again) setting. This alone is worth the price of admission. Since our initial visit, we have gotten to know NIcholas (one of the owners) and Tony (one of the bartenders) a bit. They treat us like family. We like that a lot. They will be moving a few hundred feet south in about a month, to a building which has at least as good a view, but is much larger! Can't wait! Will definitely come down to check that out. We've had breakfast, dinner, and many appetizers here. Everything has been outstanding. Today we shared the guacamole and each had a shrimp cocktail - fresh and divine. (Should confess that the Ceviche was not like what we expected... but that won't stop us from continuing our love affair!) One of my Yelp friends commented that this was a Gringo type place - but not in a negative way. I don't care - I would come every day if I were close by. (I would also be constantly drunk and weight about fifty pounds more....) read more

Go for the view, not the food. It was...sufficient. The service was good but the food average at best. And while eating on the deck is nice there were so many flies it makes it impossible to actually enjoy. read more

We heard this was a good place to go south or Puerto Nuevo and it was. The place too a bit to find, but the easiest directions are exit going south at Puerto nuevo... go through town and when you are on the free road(service road), find KM 52. You will see the sign...follow towards the beach. Lobster was well done, even though we are out of season. Restaurant was nice and the food was good. Was a good mix of locals and gringos..but more gringos. They had a great band there this saturday...Good music and good drink. Downside is they allow smoking in the bar area where the band was playing. So, of course my 4 year old son wanted to dance as he always does...the people all enjoyed watching him, but we did not like the smoke at all. Only downside. They need to make smokers go outside. We will go back multiple times as we go to Baja often. read more

This place is too expensive. There is a sewage smell. Very long waiting time just to get a drink,and the drinks have very little Alcohol yet overpriced. This place is more of a "Gringo" spot Not the traditional pure Mexican taste. Watch out for food poisoning!! Flies are all over your food. Will not be coming back. Dont spend your hard earned money here. read more

Excellent and friendly service. Surprisingly, we ate an incredible traditional Thanksgiving meal that surpassed our expectations. Atmosphere is incredible with even better views. read more

we've been going to Splash for about five years now. We hadn't been back to the area since Covid, but decided we were ready to venture back. They have an outdoor eating area overlooking the water. The food was as fantastic as we remembered! I had a plate that included a cheese enchilada, and the sauce was the best enchilada sauce I've ever had in my life! Friendly staff, amazing food and view! read more

VIEWS - VIEWS - VIEWS! A phenomenal place with excellent food, great service, and stunning ocean views which seem as if you're looking at a postcard or magazine photo. Try the sauteed mushrooms or tempura appetizer, and be sure to order any of the incredibly fresh fish. Oh, if you love margaritas, then you must order one :) read more

Splash is a great food - great view place!! We love it here. Good service and good music. We have a beach house in Rosarito and take the old road south past Purto Nuevo... read more

OMG. Loved it so much I made an excuse to go back already..lol..Service on point, food is so yummy had a small cocktail shrimp. Great portions, drinks are just right! The view is unbelievable, everyone was incredibly friendly. We were a bit concern being in Mexico as a interracial couple ( Stories we herd) but our safety was never a concern everyone was friendly and locals made conversation with us told us a couple spots to go hit up. I believe the owner was at the bar talking to people, making sure everyone's having a good time. No lie from the moment we arrived, we got drinks, menu, chips and salsa all in a matter of two minutes. If in Puerto Nuevo checking out lobster town drive up about 10 more minutes towards Ensenada Splash is on the right-hand side you won't regret it! Best time is around 6-7 o'clock the most beautiful sunset read more

Has to be one of the best if not the best restaurants in baja. Good service, awesome food and i mean, cheap alcohol am i right. Always a go to when south of the border read more

Love seeing the sunset from the Splash balcony. It's a bit gringo here but it's so much fun. Especially like the band and dancing later in the evening. The staff is super nice and the food flies out of the kitchen. Always stop here when in Primo Tapia. read more

I had a wonderful breakfast. It was super hot food - and I loved it! It was the first time on this trip to have the food served steaming! The service was excellent and friendly. Don't miss it! View is worth the stop by itself. read more

Splash Baja - Shrimp omlette! Can't even describe the goodness - spent the entire meal trying to figure out why it was so creamy. - Mexican Near Me - Primo Tapia, BCN

I was torn between two or three stars because the place is really located on a beautiful spot with wonderful Ocean-views. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is very good. I met the owner and he was very nice and very cordial and very polite. I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu which was $30 US. It consisted of a full medium sized lobster and a ribeye steak. I also ordered a tortilla soup. The soup broth was way too heavy and thick and a dark chocolate color which I was not familiar with and it did not taste like the other tradition tortilla soups I have had over many years. I really cannot tell you what was wrong with it because it was very confusing, I just knew that it was not good. When I received the steak and lobster plate I immediately noticed the color of the steak was off. I took a bite of the meat trying to determine what was wrong with it, it had a very unusual taste so I decided not to risk eating it so I moved on to the lobster. The lobster was cooked perfectly, it was the best thing on the plate. It was delicious. The owner came out to ask how the food was. I had to be honest with him. He looked embarrassed but not surprised. He asked if I wanted a different steak and I said no. He removed the steak from the bill and went to the kitchen and I heard him yelling at the staff. He is very upset. He came out again apologized and asked for if I wanted anything else. I said no. Unfortunately, I immediately felt sick to my stomach and for the next two days had unpleasant visits to the restroom. I do not plan on going back. read more

No need for Puerto Nuevo after finding this place recommend by the locals. Nico was there and made sure we reviewed top notch service.

Ordered the special black sea bass plate with rice and beans. It was good, not great, but still tasty. The views here are some of the best around. There name says it all. read more

It was a Thursday morning and drove down looking for Splash. It has moved South a few doors down from its prior location. The inside is clean and the service was very friendly. We ordered Breakfast. All of us thought the flavors were excellent. The portions were very good size for the amount charged. They did not have a large selection of items on the Breakfast menu and we didn't ask to see if they would serve us off of the Lunch menu. Overall, a very nice way to start our morning. Cash Only. Leave the American Express and Visa at home. Thank you. read more

Low key, beautiful, great service, romantic and, most importantly, good food. Even if you're just stopping by, take 20 minutes to enjoy fresh pressed tortillas, well seasoned ceviche, and gorgeous ocean views. read more

This place is really cute and has a beautiful ocean view if you get seats outside. (which you can reserve but we didn't know) the menu was alright your regular normal seafood menu. I got a tostada De camarones was delicious also got the catch of the day which was amazing. Tasted the fish tacos they were alright nothing fancy, also had a bite of lobster it was Good. The atmosphere definitely changes at night they have a live band and dancing inside which is so much fun! If your a tourist this is the place for you there's a lot of tourist that eat here and the staff speaks English. read more

This spot has an amazing view and GREAT service. We actually came here twice in one day because it was so great. We sat down at the bar and met the owner and he made us feel like regulars. There are lots of TV's if you're looking to catch a game. They also have live music on Saturdays and most of the staff speaks English. read more

Horrible service. Waited half an hour and the mesero gordo didn't even take our drink order. Meanwhile, a family of four was seated and served. We walked out, never going back. read more

what is the name of the hot sauce that was made out of chilli oil please I ate it there and i can't remember the name. thank you

I have always been a fan of Splash. Was at a bday party last week. Large group. At the end after leaving a 20% tip the waitress confronted me and asked " if that was all the tip I wanted to leave. SERIOUSLY?? That is the ultimate RUDE. This Gringo won't be back read more

They moved down the coast a while back and are continuously making improvements as they built the restaurant themselves. It is amazing. Simply the best in every way. The food, service, drinks, prices, location, atmosphere. Live music regularly and it's fantastic. Often times the splash from the ocean is as high as the restaurant. The view is spectacular. No smoking inside which is great for families. Plus there is a Great big patio where you can smoke away. Their is plenty of room for really big groups and it's cozy enough for a date. It's family owned and operated and you can tell. Every employee treats you like you are family. The GM/owner Nicolas is a class act as well There isn't a place from Rosarito to Ensenada that I'd rather eat and or drink but I do just to see if I can find better. Hasn't happened yet. read more

Not the best place ever... my friend got the shrimp cocktail and it was mediocre. I got shrimp tacos and fish tacos... were bland. Needed to add a lot of salt and lime. The lemonade was amazing though! read more

Splash is definitely a must for anyone visiting Rosarito. The shrimp tacos are out of this world. You also have to try their Cadillac Margaritas, they are super yummy too! Friendly staff, great food and an amazing view makes this spot a must in Rosarito! read more

This place is amazing! Where do I start... The food is always hot and great tasting. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have many options for food so whatever you are in the mood for they will have something, and it will be fresh! My GF loves the chili relleno! They are to die for and the flour tortillas:) They have live music every night with all types of genres to listen to depending on the night of the week. The service is always right there to help, but are not to pushy or smothering. Nicolas is the patrón in charge and he and his staff will make sure you have a great night. I have been traveling from san diego to this place for the last 5 years and hope to be coming for the next 50 years! Shout out to, Nico, Sammy, Tony, Maria, and all the wonderful people we have met at Splash read more

If you're looking for a "Cheers" like atmosphere, Splash is your place. Everyone knows your name by the second visit and proprietor Nickolas ensures everyone feels welcome. Great variety on the menu from breakfast to some of the best seabass I've ever had. Entertainment Thursday - Sunday is great, add a couple of Nick's Cadillac margaritas and you're bound to be a happy customer! Terrific spot for a wide age range. read more

Read the reviews and wanted to try it. Unfortunately the food and drinks were awful. The lobster was overcooked yet mushy. Steaks were bad. The hamburger and fries my son order were good. Wouldn't recommend read more

Splash use to be my favorite spot in Rosarito. Food was cheap, waiters were helpful and most of all the food was delicious. Then they moved a few meters away to a bigger place. Since then, their food is not as good and became more expensive. It's still a good place to pass your time listening to the band and drinking margaritas on the second floor. read more

Wonderful service. Owner is present greeting customers. Makes you feel like part of the regular crowd on your first visit. Great value and wonderful drinks and food. Live music on the weekends. Beautiful roof top bar and restaurant overlooking the ocean. It's located 20 minutes north of Bajamar and just north of LaFonda. Large bright blue building. read more

Went here during my trip to Ensenada last weekend. The food was amazing, especially the calamari (must try). The environment was nice and there was live music. Menu and prices are pretty good (Appetizers + Entree + Drinks for 4 people = $60us). Also, they had a great philly cheese steak baguette and the whole fried fish is great (Warning: Will blow your mind). There were vendors selling souvenirs in the restaurant which was cool, could annoy some though. You can bargain with the vendors for pricing. read more

Great place, oyster shooters are so much cheaper than in Oregon Mmmm So good. Also what a great view of the ocean, I see why it's called splash. I will be coming back. Thank you read more

A Must Try! After an exhaustive drive from the Tijuana border, we treated ourselves to an eventful rest stop... Splash's Delish Shrimp taco (grilled, seasoned w/cajun spice) was the BESTest! Ice cold Lemonade, enhanced w/ maraschino cherry, delectable to soothe the savage beast. The "piece de of resistance." was their authentic Flan dessert. Hmmmm!!! read more
