    So this is a seafood place that is kind of off the beaten path in Nogales. I've eaten here three…read moretimes in the last three years. I've never gotten sick and the seafood is really fresh, and the staff is very very sweet. That being said, getting here can be sketchy unless you have a driver. Don't plan on walking here from your hotel. That would be a poor idea and not the restaurant's fault, it is an issue with the area but no that is a fact of life here. If you don't speak Spanish, please make sure someone in your party does as the staff, including management, the times I've been there do not speak English or at least very halting English. Proportions are good and the chips are made on site. My favorite dish is probably their grilled octopus and the Seabass was yummy as well. I stay away from the prawns just as a matter principal so I can't tell you how those were. Every time I've been there someone at the table has gotten crab legs and they've enjoyed those immensely. I did get some scallops this year that were super gritty, but not an issue with a restaurant at all really and the taste was buttery and the texture Perfect, just a little/lot gritty. There are a number of places for gringos to eat in Nogales and once you get tired of the same steakhouse that everyone goes to, this is absolutely a good alternative. Word of caution, as a general point, drink beer out of a bottle or out of a pint glass with no ice. Do not drink anything with ice in Nogales. Really really. if you fail to heed my advice, please send me a note about how sick you got and how right I was so that anybody else reading this will know not to get ice in their drink regardless of the location.

    Be careful! Thieves! The waiting staff brings a device to hang your purse and they are very…read moreinsistent that you hang your purse there. Different waiters kept coming up to my purse that was behind me. CAREFUL because my airpods somehow went missing while I ate. When I tracked them with my phone, it said the airpods were still at the restaurant. I asked the staff for them and they said they didnt have them. I left but continued to track them. The airpods where at the restaurant until closing time then moved locations after the restaurant closed, which means someone from the staff had them with themselves for the rest of their shift and took them home with them. Gave them a one-star because I couldn't give them less. Cuidado por que roban! Los meseros le traen un caballete para que cuelgue su bolsa y son muy insistentes que pongan la bolsa ahi. Diferentes meseros se acercaban a mi bolsa que estaba atras de mi. CUIDADO por que mis airpods desaparecieron mientras comia. Cuando los busque con mi teléfono decia el mapa que estaban ahi en el restaurante. Les pregunte al staff del restaurante y dijeron que ellos no sabian donde estaban. Me fui pero continue buscandolos con mi telefono. Los airpods estuvieron en el restaurante hasta la hora que el restaurante cerró, y se movieron de lugar después de que el restaurante cerro. Lo que significa que un miembro del staff los tomó, los tuvo durante su turno de trabajo y llevó a su casa al final del día. Les di una estrella pqe no se puede dar menos.

    We did a quick little breakfast trip across the border with my girlfriend and my dog and ended up…read moreat La Roca - such a beautiful spot. Walking in honestly feels like stepping into a hacienda. There's a gorgeous fountain in the center and a mix of seating areas - some more loungy if you're just having drinks, others perfect for coffee or a full breakfast. There's even an upper level with a bar-style balcony, which is where we sat, and it was such a great view. They are dog-friendly in the outdoor areas (I had mine in a stroller), and the staff could not have been more accommodating - they even helped me carry her up the stairs. Service overall was amazing. We had multiple servers checking on us, which just shows how well staffed and attentive they are, especially since it was pretty busy with the buffet crowd. We heard their buffet is really good, but we weren't quite that hungry, so we ordered off the menu. I got the huevos rancheros, and I'm not kidding - the beans alone made the whole trip worth it. I don't know what they're doing back there, but they need to keep doing it. The eggs and red sauce were also so good. My girlfriend got the chiles rellenos, and just watching her cut into them with that perfect cheese pull told me everything I needed to know - she confirmed they were delicious. The decor is beautiful and full of Mexican culture, the space feels really inviting, and overall it was just such a great experience. If you're in Nogales and want something nice without going too far into the city, this is literally right across the border and absolutely worth it.

    This place is so fantastic my parents got MARRIED here!!…read more The food is exquisite, just as the service and ambiance. What to order? The trinity as I like to call it-- Mochomos, Queso Wilson, and Guacamole. Paired with the classic La Roca margarita pitcher and you're set for a fantastic afternoon.
