    Bbq ribs
    Maria Z.

    Service was great. Servers are very nice and adapt to what you need. Food was great. First time here and we were amazed with how juicy and tender the food was. Right temps. Would come again.

    Grilled Chicken Salad
    Deanna M.

    Once again - amazing food at Splash! They didn't disappoint! We ordered the large shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. We didn't know it meant that the shrimp were large! lol! Huge, in fact! Super fresh and tasty, with a little kick of spice. Danny ordered the grilled chicken salad with choice of dressing. Super good! I ordered the spinach salad which was phenomenal! I can't believe I ate the whole thing! It was chock full of green apple, strawberries, Bermuda onions, cheese and fresh spinach. The dressing was the perfect compliment. Delicious! I've added pictures of meals we've had there, previously. Their menu is so diverse...from whole fried fish to perfect Patty Melts!

    Steak with cheese enchilada and Chile Relleno

    Seriously skip the other Tik Tok Tourist traps and come to Splash you won't be disappointed. From the beautiful views to the incredible food the vibe is laid back and the staff is amazing. Our waiter Max went above and beyond he made our experience memorable and incredible. The food honestly reminded me of how my mom used to cook especially the Chile Relleno. The portions are huge and the drinks are just the same. I recommend sitting outside and soaking in the ocean mist and I bet you'll find out why it's called splash. Overall it was a delicious meal and incredible experience.

    Lobster boiled with melted butter.

    Lobster was cooked perfectly and was delicious! My waitress was super attentive and very sweet. Basically had the place to myself for a Wednesday lunch. My Labrador and I enjoyed the views and would definitely come back.

    Fried Squid
    Jason C.

    Come for dinner, go upstairs, sit out on the patio and enjoy the sunset and your food. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and checked on us, made sure we have everything that we needed. The lobster was bit chewy, the fried squid was decent - had expected the calamari rings, but they fried the whole squid body and chopped it up before serving. The oysters were ok, the fried whole fish was decent as well, it could have used more seasoning. Started with a beer, then moved on to the Mojitos, which really hit the spot!! If you are in the area, definitely worth visiting - decent food, awesome views!

    Back patio
    Catherine T.

    This was my second time here. Sat outside on the back patio each time. Service is always good and beer is always cold. Got the fish & enchiladas last night for dinner which was delicious - always comes with plenty of sides + tortillas so can definitely share most meals here. Chips & salsa as well when you sit down. Great atmosphere, lots of people having fun and a beautiful view. Even saw people get splashed from a big wave (they sat in the splash zone)! Much better than the overpriced tourtisty spot next door.... Splash, we will be back!

    Lobster

    The lobster was worth it! I loved the salsas as well! Especially the view!!!!! The staff were incredible too!!!!

    Captivating sunset view

    This place never ceases to amaze me. From the days of its simple big green box-looking restaurant, that sits comfortably on a cliff with ocean splashing on its window panes, to its now newly built extended areas. Looking forward to what's in store for us next. Splash is a must- see. And, whether indoor our outdoor seating, there will always be room for fresh air, an ocean view, waves breaking, and breath taking sunsets. Simply amazing. This restaurant, located on the outskirts of Rosarito, Mexico, has been my favorite place for all my seafood needs. Although not exactly a lobster fan, Splash definitely made sure friends, family and myself kept us coming back. It was a place to rave about. Before COVID "era," $20 lobsters was the thing. Prices were reasonable and honestly, one lobster was not enough. Last week (Tuesday), my partner and I decided to have early dinner at Splash. As always, friendly staff, good music, great outdoor view, and lots of new additional stuff was done to the restaurant since last visit this past summer. Overall, the atmosphere was on point...even without the live band playing. Our order was placed (forgot our servers name), we received our drinks and dish in no time. Our food arrived, all looked great but for some unknown reason, my mix ceviche lacked the usual taste. Besides it being tasteless, it was served on the skimpy side and enough shrimp. I had to squeeze more lemon and salt to add zest. I rarely like using salt, but in this case, it was much needed, unfortunately. The lobster, similar issue. Something was lacking. The garlic butter sauce was much needed but still, it did not have the usual taste. We asked the server about the cook. That maybe the cook was new. He confirmed - it's the same cook. The food was definitely off. Unexplainably off. Our server, by the way, was so attentive and friendly. No complaints here. Even past servers were all good. Dining experiences at Splash were always good. Despite our dismay with our food, we will still return to Splash. It will still be our go-to for any occasion, or, simply, just because. Give Splash a try

    Mango margarita with the weekly carnitas special on Mondays. Be sure to order a few extra tortillas to accompany.
    Linda M.

    Best mango margaritas with Tajín rim! Always as beautiful as they are delicious. Service is consistently good with large portions. The spicy margarita made from scratch is really good, too. Great ocean views and comfortable ambiance. Service is efficient and friendly. Highly recommended over the other nearby choices. JMO

    Went her with my wife and her cousin. The food was very good. The service was excellent. The views spectacular.

    Wasn't that impressed with the food or the service. It's a bummer but I feel like baja has gone downhill post pandemic.

On the…read moredrive down to La Misión I saw the sign for this place & thought it was an actual halfway house, but turns out its name is a reference to the fact it's located halfway bet'n Rosarito & Ensenada. First things first: ignore the menu, just ask Chef Johnny what he's got & let him do his thing. A lot of times they don't have what's on the menu so you're kind of wasting your time by choosing. We had had ribeye with a red wine demi-glace that was quite good, and fish "mojo de ajo" (with butter & garlic) that was better. Each came with a small baked potato (just the right size) and some veggies that were OK. Dinner included a tortilla soup that I was told was OK and a Caesar salad with very fresh baby Romaine and an eggy dressing. The made-to order guac was OK, but I think they put mayo in it so the avo taste got kind of lost. The chips were tasty (freshly-made) but the "salsa" was a ton of tomatoes with a few onions, not really notable. Chef Johnny once cooked for the President of Mexico; these days he lives in a trailer next to the restaurant with his wife and cooks mostly what he wants. He came out to our table & I had a great conversation with him; he's very passionate about being happy and doing what he wants and it seems to be working for him. The dude can sing, too; he's got a terrific voice & if you ask him he might croon you a tune or two. He's certainly a character and a good guy. There's a full bar and first thing you notice is they allow smoking, unlike in the States. The room is nice but nothing spectacular, and the service is attentive and friendly. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

    I had hesitated to go in as it looked deserted. The food was wonderfully simple and fresh and the…read moreback deck is great
