    Chicken supreme
    Estefania S.

    This place is tasty, the service is great, but pricey so be prepared for a bill you would receive in LA. There was no drink menu the bartender knew a variety of cocktails tailored to your need. I enjoyed my coconut mojito! My husband said his manhattan was too on the sweet side. My only con besides the price point was the fact that the kitchen DID NOT allow any kind of modifications to the dish I wanted a pesto pasta with my chicken supreme to which they said NO. Kind of weird if you have a high price point you would expect to have more options on changes.

    Duck tacos, absolutely delicious
    Bri N.

    Everything was really good here. My group ordered the duck tacos, chicken supreme, ribeye steak, and surf and turf to share and everything was excellent. The server was super nice, the decor was warm and modern. The margaritas were delicious. We would definitely come back!

    Totoaba de la granja

    Ambiance/service: The pictures on their website were much better laid out than the actual interior, but it was clean. The mesera was nice, but forgot about us for a while. My husband's drink was empty for a good half hour at least and we had to literally wave her down to get the check after she disappeared for a while. There were only four tables there including us, so I was expecting...more. Drinks:They don't have a drink/mixology menu even though they have a full bar which was disappointing and probably losing them money. Appetizers: Started with the coconut calamari which was overcooked, so they were more like little tires. Sent those back. Had the asian style ribs appetizer. The cast iron they served them in stayed so hot that it charred/burnt the two that were on the bottom and the salsa it came with (we got it on the side) tasted like they had severely overcharred the chiles before they mixed them in. I used the plum sauce from the calamari and it paired MUCH better with the ribs. Also got the tiraditos de atun. It didn't have much flavor. Definitely missing a creamy sauce (spicy aioli/sriracha mayo) I ended up drizzling their creamy wasabi sauce on top and it gave it a bit more dimension. Main: Totoaba en la granja- The fish was well cooked and the side vegetables were seasoned really well. The risotto was the correct texture, maybe a touch too much pesto/cheese that made it very rich without a citrus element to break it up, but overall a good dish. Dessert: Got the budding de pan which was served in the same style of cast iron as the ribs which was heated enough to start burning the caramel sauce and turned it bitter very quickly. The actual bread pudding was a plate of mush. Severly undercooked with no texture past the mush. The ice cream on top of it was delicious though. Also got the molleux de chocolate. Be prepared that it is very dark chocolate, so not very sweet if you like a sweet or semi sweet dessert. It had the melty center, so it was well executed, just not the flavor profile I had expected. While the fish was decent, I wouldn't come back with the overall experience.

    One of the best restaurants in Rosarito! Alexis, our server, is the best! Highly recommend the Tortilla soup, Lupita salad, shrimp tacos, calamari and Moelleux chocolate lava cake. One of the best desserts I have ever had! Gourmet! Highly recommend!!

    Well came here tonight due to other good reviews but unfortunately the food wasn't what I expected, first of all the decor was very nice very modern. The calamari was very nice and crispy it was pretty good. the fish of the day was very very good very delicious it was nice and moist. The tortilla soup was very hot very good with crispy tortilla strips with fresh avocado and sour cream. Now here comes the bad part my tacos, I ordered a steak taco and a shrimp taco the steak taco it was like I was eating a piece of carbon from the barbecue it was completely black like it was not good at all, the shrimp taco was very salty, the tortillas were really good but I had to ask for the veggies on the side and they didn't bring anything so I had to literally ask for everything and it just took a long time I ended up sending back the steak taco because it was not edible and they did replace it which I was very thankful, but you know after waiting quite a bit just to get some sour cream and veggies for my tacos and they didn't even bring the salsa it wasn't what I expected for such a modern restaurant.

    Finally dropped into to try this restaurant and was. It disappointed. The menus says a mixture of French and Mexican food. This would be a first for me so I entered with anticipation. The decor was spacious and chairs and table comfortable and roomy. Service was excellent and I was pleased that despite the cold they had installed heaters which kept us toasty. The food was excellent, I actually had two appetizers , the Shrimp Tamale and the Onion Soup, both were high quality and obviously home made . I just had the shrimp and lamb taco next where as my wife has the grilled fish. All dishes were well presented and the food fresh and tasty I did not have enough room to sample the bread and butter pudding but next time I think I will start with that. Overall an easy 5 stars. The food is not cheap but I have no problem paying for good food.

    Nice modern setting and good food too. I enjoy the steak tacos. The tortilla soup is delicious. It's a good local option if you're in the Rosarito beach South area near Bada Bing lol.

    Bread Pudding
    Lisa P.

    Ajenjo is by far one of my top 3 restaurants in the area. I have reviewed under Latitude as well- the taco shop. Both are excellent. We have been too many times to count. A meal here is a must while I'm in Baja. Lately the duck confit tacos and the quinoa salad are my favorites. It depends on my mood though because the tortilla soup and skirt steak tacos are also divine. The filet and rib eye are always great. The salmon with fennel cream sauce is also delicious. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. If you want excellent food in a beautiful restaurant, this is your place.

    Cream of Abalone . You can't leave without trying it.

    Great classy restaurant. Very intimate. The food was delicious. Everything was so flavorful except the pesto pasta. If you are in Rosarito this is a must try. The atmosphere of this place is great for a date. The staff that attentive. I will be dining here every time I visit Rosarito.

    Encrusted fish plate
    David C. D.

    Very good and flavorful dishes. My wife had the encrusted fish and I had a couple of duck tacos and the amazing tortilla soup. Definitely have to try that one. This is an unusual restaurant for this area-tends to be more elegant and refined-but casual wear is fine.

    amazing tamarindo margarita and and ice cold mexican beer with lime

Expectacular experience at Jeune et Jolie. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the service and overall experience was simply top notch. The patio space is beautiful and filled with fresh green foliage. The sage and rose colors stand out in the outdoor space. Definitely chic and modern. The food: We started off with the Plateau de fruit the mer: the selection of scallops, shrimp, prawn and oyster was fresh and the flavors they added to each piece made it for a complete unique bite. The three course menu was mainly a hit with the exception of one selection. The hits: Bavarois d'été - caviar , corn mousse Saint Jacques - rhubarb and vanilla Caille- morel was stuffed with sausage Vacherin - decadent and delicious The misses: Gnudi- (the dumpling like version) not bad, definitely not up to par with the rest of the courses. The beverage pairings were a fun add on. Their sommelier comes out for all four drinks and explains how they pair with the food. He also gives you a bit of history on each producer. I'm sad I waited so long to have this wonderful dining experience but I'm happy I finally decided to check it out. Our waitress was lovely too! She made good recommendations and even shared her favorites. I loved the Bavarois d'été so much and could see the dedication put into dish. This prompted me to ask her, "how long does this dish take to make?" She responded "24hours!" I gasped. To learn about the length of time it took to create my favorite course made me even more appreciative for the food I was enjoying. I can't wait to come back and try new items! Nothing but positive things to say about Jeune et Jolie.

Nathan was very descriptive of their wine and praised his wife on creating so many of their wines. He made it clear that this is a woman owned vineyard and he just helps out. This made us chuckle because we all are married and would love for our husbands to praise us like he did!

One in particular loved to ask for head scratches by resting his head on your leg waiting for you to pet him. We got there right when they opened so service was a bit slow but that's understandable because they were still preparing for the rest of the day. Presentation was on point and made for a very fun meal. The horse mackerel rosette while not in an actual rosette was very good. Nice touch of citrus. Sea urchin flan was very umami and very filling. Gyozas were more like dumplings because they did not have any crispness to the bottom and the gyoza wrappers tasted like they were dried out in a fridge. Filling was an ox tail filling and worked wonderfully. The ramen broth however was just a bit too salty. I think if they made it into an aspic and put a bit of it with the filling it would have made for a better flavor explosion. Catch of the day was ok. The skin of the fish was kinda soggy but overall flavor was good. I think the crispness of the fish skin added with the shaving of jicama would have made it more of a standout dish. For the Pig dish, they used a suckling pig. My only complaint with the dish is they should have dried the skin out some more and made it crispier. Who isn't a fan of crispy pork skins from a suckling pig. The presentation of the desserts was the most amazing. The pumpkin is pretty much a lavender milk cereal inside and some sort of jelly and granola topped with a salted caramel ice cream. The carrot cake. This is the most delicious carrot cake I have ever eaten and the presentation itself was very fun. The carrot itself is a carrot puree that was candied and filled with a cream to look like an actual carrot.

Et Voila's version with the pappardelle was outstanding. The freshly made pasta, not only added great texture, but also flavor. It prepared just right, too. The Cabernet sauce was excellent and offered a great depth of flavors. The dish also came with tender carrots, sweet pearl onions, and white mushrooms. All of them were perfect. The beef was rendered down beautifully and had great color and was very tender to the touch. The beef offered exceptional preparation and was an absolute pleasure to eat with the Cabernet sauce.

My friends, who are regulars here, were very pleased with their dishes as well. I have to say, both of their dishes looked amazing. The hospitality at this French Bistro is first rate. All the employees, including the owner, were very amiable and welcoming. They aim to provide an excellent dining experience and that's what they do. This place is perfect for date night, special occasions, or just to simply enjoy a delicious quiet meal.
