    3.5 stars. 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

    Charley's is a gem just south of Rosarito town center (by car) and a must if you are looking for…read moregood food, good people, and fun karaoke down in Baja! On the menu they are known for their firey hot molcajete meals loaded with shrimp and/or beef and plenty of side dishes to feed the whole table. One of the new owners even came up and introduced himself to us. Great service!

    If you're near Rosarito this place is worth going to. It's a very interesting place. You can eat…read moreupstairs (And you should) it has a bar but also restaurant seating. From upstairs you can see the ocean. This place attracts locals & expat's alike and features karaoke on the weekends. We didn't come on a weekend, we came on a Monday and the place just had a few locals at the bar when we arrived for dinner. The food was really good, we tried too many things because the serving size is HUGE on some dishes like the shrimp molcajete & the carne asada Quesadilla. Either dish could be split between two people. My favorite thing was the fish taco and I could probably eat 2 or 3 if that's all I ordered. Bottom line the food was really good- the ambiance is kinda corky but I liked it. Our waitress was really nice although I wish we would have been warned as to how much food we were ordering- we simply couldn't finish a lot of it! All that said I will definitely go back when in the area, as I mentioned the fish tacos are fantastic! Recommended!! Happy eating!

    My mom has been raving about this place and I was able to finally go eat here. Honestly I wasn't…read moreexpecting it to be as good as it was. I'm glad that it was a much better experience than what I expected. The restaurant is two stories high and has a beautiful view of the ocean. I also loved all the Mexican decor and how bright and spacious it was. The food was delicious!! The lobster was my favorite, really meaty and tasty! I ordered their special which comes with a fried fish, lobster, shrimp, beans, soup, salad, a margarita and freshly made flour tortillas! I couldn't believe the amount of food the special order had. The service was amazing! They welcomed us with a big smile, the food was out quickly and someone was always there for anything we needed. We will be back soon!

    If you are looking for delicious, with a great view and reasonably priced this is the spot! So many…read moreother places are pricey down here now. We have been coming here for 25 years and we bring different friends and it has never let us down! So perfect! Highly Recommend! It is not the fanciest, it's a bit rustic but for the price and flavor we love it! Get the lobster special and it comes with a margarita, beans, rice, fresh flour tortillas, limes, drawn butter, and salsa. So delicious, traditional, and filling. The menu has other seafood and non seafood items. Sometimes a mariachi or a norteño banda will play. Tip: ask the singers how much they charge per song before you start requesting. Some charge between $10-$20 per song. It gets hot in the downstairs deck so bring a hat, sunglasses, and a coverup. They do have a tarp that covers partially. But you cannot beat the sun and the salt air! Service is always wonderful! Same staff has been there forever! Parking: When you pull up to the front they usually have a few spaces reserved for the restraint we always tip the parking guy. He watches to ensure your car is safe. They have indoor seating upstairs with a good view. But I like outside better! I wish I could give 4.5 stars because we love it but some upgrades are needed, some walls are insider construction. Clean restrooms.
