    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.

    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

    Always good food and service. The carnitas tacos are great and so is the lobster burrito which is enough for two.

    Vibes were cool, had a rustic setting to the restaurant with open fire grill as soon as you enter…read more They offer you some chips and salsa as you sit down, as well as drinks. They also give you a salsa de aceite thats SPICY but good Now let me tell you, the margaritas were top notch. You can tell it's made with fresh limes and you can order them without feeling over-sugared. I even got one to go lol I had the salmon tacos and they were good, good mix of veggies and salmon. Rice and beans were better than your average "mexican plate" beans and rice. Service was overall good, quick to serve drinks and food, and got the orders correct. Overall 8.5/10 imo, with drinks carrying.

    We saw a video on social media raving about this place but we were very disappointed. First of all…read moreparking is horrible, we had to park a few blocks away because the place they have to park was closed. There is nothing special about this place. We ordered simple plates, chilaquiles, a panela sandwich and a machaca burrito and had to wait 45 minutes to get the food. Chilaquiles were so soggy and the machaca in the burrito was dry. And before getting our food they gave us two bowls of chips and flour tortillas very salty by the way, we will definitely not be coming here again. The quality of the food is not worth the weight. The place and the music are nice but there are other nice places with better food that you will really enjoy.
