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.

It is an older restaurant in need of some TLC. Some of the tables by the windows have ocean views. They have patio tables too. We chose the buffet - I don't recommend the buffet even though one or two soups//caldos were good, the rest of the buffet items fell short. No selections for desert. The paella was decent but l again, the rest of the items fell short. The drinks were good with a healthy amount of alcohol in the margarita. The individual plates on the menu might be better. I'm not sure. I'll be back to try them. Try the menu items - it might be better than the buffet.

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!

By evening, El Pirata has a fun and friendly crew of people in their 30s-60s just hanging out. By day, I've been there with 75 others all dressed as pirates, but that's another story. El Pirata is right around the corner from Papas and Beer, Hussongs, and all your touristy drinkups -- yet exists in another world, in another land, and in another time, a time long before cruise ships began spilling thousands of day-trippers into the town. It's a little hard to find, especially at night, as there's no lit-up sign and just a doorway. Check it out, mateys, and bring your friends, but don't tell everyone.
