    Grill
    Micah M.

    Best place in Rocky point. Definitely order the grill. Service is great but we walked in behind a large party and had to wait longer than normal

    Shrimp Grill.

    Everything Just remember to bring whatever it is that you're drinking. It's BYOB and don't follow Googles directions

    Parrillada: garlic/coconut shrimp, grilled chicken, avocado, roasted onion, zucchini, pepper, tomato, citrus

    If you're ready to venture off the beaten path in Rocky Point, let me introduce you to El Mesón--where the seafood is fresher than your last beach selfie! This delightful family-owned eatery is snugly attached to their home, giving it that cozy, "welcome to our dining room" vibe. The freshly grilled seafood and meats are so delicious and perfect for sharing--or not; I won't judge if you decide to keep it all to yourself. With sides like rice, green macaroni salad, fresh tortillas, chips and salsa, citrus slices, grilled onions, avocado, and zucchini, your taste buds will be doing the cha-cha! If you're a bird lover, you'll be greeted by some adorable parakeets near the entrance. They kept my 5 year old entertained while we waited for our food. And the staff, so down to earth and kind! El Mesón has officially become our favorite hidden gem in Rocky Point. So grab your appetite and get ready for a meal that's as unforgettable as a sunset on the beach!

    By far the best restaurant in Rocky Point! The service was top notch -- our waitress, who I'm guessing is also the owner, was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The place wasn't busy when we went, just our group and one other table, which made for a nice, laid-back atmosphere. Now let's talk about the food... wow. The coconut shrimp with the honey mustard sauce were out of this world -- seriously some of the best I've ever had. We also ordered two of their mixed platters with a variety of meats, seafood, and veggies, and they were phenomenal. Easily enough to feed all 8 of us, and every bite was packed with flavor. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area. The food, the portions, the service -- all incredible. Definitely one of those hidden gems you're glad you found.

    Coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp, skirt steak

    El Mesón was fantastic! So glad we found it. The service was excellent, the ambiance was great, and the food was the best we had the whole vacation. We couldn't get enough.

    We were looking for something a bit different than the standard Rocky Point tacos & shrimp, and tried the El Meson based on google search & yelp. It lived up to the reviews - 5 stars. Loved the food (we had grilled chicken & ribeye), fresh, delicious, and a good size portion, the presentation and sides were also fantastic, the owner (or maybe was the daughter) was super sweet and took great care of us, and I liked the fact that it was off the main tourist areas. Reminded me of rocky point before all the resorts. Absolutely will be back.

    The Parrillada for $100+ for 5.

    NOISE from a party of 12-14 multi-generational loud folks spoiled our otherwise lovely meal. Management should not accept reservations for such a large group during the dinner seating. We could not converse and our special dinner for 5 was ruined. The acoustics are bad in the first place. The food was aldo not up to par. We had the big grill (parrillada) for our special dinner. The very white long grain rice (?) was cold. We could not tell if the pasta side was meant to be hot or cold. The big grill service does not showcase his talent for presentation. They should take it off the menu. A very disappointing evenin for what was my favorite restaurant in town.

    My son meson burger the best he has ever had

    Both the food and the service was amazing, the quality was A1 , the restaurant was so cute wish l could have seen it at nite time with the lighting, the birds are so cute, kinda hard to find but well worth the effort

    Garlic fish was a nice thick cut of fish.

    Hidden gem in Rocky Point! Family run restaurant away from the "touristy" area of town. Delicious food at a great price, great service!

    Platter to share
    Brittany A.

    An absolute culinary delight for the senses. Such a gem in Puerto Peñasco. The service is fast and friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered the mineral Lemonade and the platter to share with steak and coconut shrimp (literally melt in your mouth delicious)- the shrimp was accompanied by a sweet with-a-kick dipping sauce. We also ordered the grilled zucchini and a side of beans- all completely delicious. A wonderful dining experience overall and we will be back!

    Hubby & I had dinner here tonight. We wanted to try this place when we were here in Oct, but I…read morepicked Wednesday to try it & they are closed on Wednesday. We are so glad we got to try it. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we went. The young girl who took care of us was great! She was friendly & super sweet. Hubby got a Michelada & added a shot of Tito's since there was no alcohol in the tomato juice part of the drink. He said it was really good. My sangria was good. It's made with pineapple juice. We ordered the chips & salsa. We also ordered the guacamole. The chips & salsa were good. I was happy there was no heat in the salsa since I am a huge whimp when it comes to spicy food. The guacamole was really good after we added some salt & lime juice. I normally don't eat guacamole, but I liked it too. We went "out of our box" & tried the whole fried fish. We split it. We asked her to add rice & beans if it didn't come with it. It was huge. The fish was fried perfectly! Hubby loved it. I liked it too. It was moist. The rice was good. The refried beans were excellent! I don't know what they do, but the texture & flavor was the best we have ever had. I loved them. We will definitely make this place are go to when we come down again. Please note tips are cash only in case you don't carry cash!

    My review was 4 years old. Just ate there again last nite and nothing has changed. Great food and…read moretop notch service. Hubby and daughter shared the giant platter which they loved. I have Carlos V shrimp, something new for me. Such generous portions, you'll leave her 10lbs heavier. Allegedly they have dessert but too full to try. This place is really small, so if there's a big party you're SOL. We never leave PP without eating here, we love it so much

    This review is based on the restaurants in Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico…read more We have been going to Puerto Penasco for many years but have never dined at Mare Blu Ristorante. We are so happy we finally decided to make a reservation for dinner. It was my husband's birthday and everything from start to finish was perfect. The restaurant is very nice, all white with blue accents and white table cloths. Where in Puerto Penasco can you dress up and dine with white table cloths! We arrived a little early so we could have a drink at the bar before dinner. The hostess immediately greeted us with a huge smile and directed us the bar. Our bartender, Federico was very polite and again, a huge smile. We asked to sit by the window so we could see the ocean and they had a table reserved for us which was perfect. Elan was our server, was attentive and never left us waiting for anything. In addition, the other staff such as food delivery and bus boys were all wonderful. They start by serving warm and delicious bread rolls and butter. We ordered the caprese salad as a starter which was good. The mozzarella was a little dry for us but tomatoes were fresh. For entrees we ordered the Farfalle Con Filetto. Farfalle pasta in a creamy aloutte alfredo sauce, Tenderloin filet, mushrooms, onion, spinach and garlic. My husband ordered the Penne Alma Vodka. Penne pasta in a bodka flamed panna rosa sauce. Added Shrimp. Each entree came with a side salad. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and plentiful. In addition, they brought a piece of cake for my husband's birthday! We were told they have a pianist on Friday, Saturday and Tuesday nights. We really enjoyed our experience and will make Mare Blu and regular dining spot every visit to PP going forward.
