Eclectic little restaurant. Definitely not in the "touristy" part of town but worth going to. The decor is one of a kind and....awesome! Chickens, hogs, cats roaming in a pen right next to the tables. Weird but fun! The food was delicious and Jesse (who served us) was outstanding! If you're done with the Malecon or just want something very different give this place a try!

Decor is over the top!

Jesse and staff are super friendly and the kitchen turns out great meals, all at reasonable prices. The ambiance is Mexican FUN!

Love the Dia de Muerta decor

What a super fantastic dining experience! The employees were very attentive and friendly. Spoke perfect English. The server explained what the items were in detail. First time we have been served warm salsa with the chips. The Chicken Mole plate was a large grilled chicken breast smothered in delicious mole with a hint of heat. The atmosphere was a trip through states of Mexico via the decor. So much fun. The restaurant is away from the town town area, off on dirt roads. Not in the tourist area but easier to get to from Sandy Beach condo area. Ten minute drive. We'll worth the trip. If the restaurant was full it would be jumpin'. Highly recommend. Great value~

Amazing place, very authentic, great food and atmosphere! Specials every day. The tacos were amazing, everything fresh!

EVERYTHING was AMAZING!!!! It was such a unique restaurant and LOVE The decor!!! The food was delish and service was top notch!!!

Beautiful. Simple Nachos.

If we had to vote to keep only one restaurant in all of Peñasco it would be this one. Jesse's has great food, low prices, beautiful decor and the best possible owner for any service establishment. It's an outside restaurant that's inside. It's a basic menu with a heavy dose of love. It's and animal sanctuary and a Mexican History lesson. The best music, the nicest young kids learning to be sweet and a location hidden enough for navigational bragging rights. I've been to them all in this City. All of them. There are simply none better.

The place was cute, la food was tasty, great prices, good service but.... flies!!!!! So many flies all over our food it ruined the whole experience cause i got disgusted by that

Good experience for dinner out with the family. There was a festive atmosphere with tons of colorful decorations. The service was great and very friendly. The food was good...chips and salsa were good; nachos were very good; burritos were okay (would have been better with less onion); fajitas were good; the tortillas were great. Great value for pretty good food.

This is our favorite restaurant in Rocky Point. The food is great and very reasonably priced. And then, there's the fantastic decor.

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

We originally found Restaurante Lolita while researching places to eat in Puerto Peñasco. We had…read moreactually seen a video about it on YouTube before our trip, and when we checked into our hotel, one of the employees also recommended this place for their buffet. So, of course, we had to give it a try! We tried a little bit of EVERYTHING, and there were so many options. They had pozole, picadillo, chicharrón en salsa verde, beans, rice, pancakes, and so much more. They also have an omelet station tucked into the corner. I completely missed it during our visit, but now that I know it's there, I'll definitely be checking it out next time! For our table, we decided to get just a little bit of everything so we could all taste the different dishes. I literally took about a spoonful of each of the meats and dishes because I wanted to try as much as possible. Everything we tried was delicious. They also bring handmade tortillas to the table, which is always a huge plus for me. They have aguas frescas available at the station as well -- jamaica, tamarindo, and an orange drink that reminded me of old-school Tang. And I have to talk about the desserts! I'm not really a dessert person because I don't like pastries that are overly sweet or sugary, but these were REALLY good. We got one piece of each and shared them around the table so everyone could try them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were. The service was excellent, the restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The decor is really well done, and there's this gorgeous brick dome in the center with a beautiful chandelier that really adds to the whole aesthetic. It gives the restaurant a really nice, authentic feel. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Restaurante Lolita. Great variety, delicious food, handmade tortillas, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in Puerto Peñasco! I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm NOT missing that omelet station!

Great spot for breakfast. They have a buffet on weekends with lots of hot and cold food options as…read morewell as made to order omelets and waffles (also available in half portions) Apple, cranberry, and orange juice available on the buffet.. price is about $17 usd p/p. Cash only.

My daughter ordered the fish al mojo de ajo. Everything was wonderfully cooked. What a lovely family dinner, lucky for us there was no wait time. The food plus the ambiance makes it the perfect dinning experience. I decided to order their lemon Carlota desert . All 4 of us got to taste it and loved it. Everyone was right in recommending this restaurant. Will come back and encourage you to try it.

We chose El Meson after reading so many great reviews, but unfortunately our experience was very…read moredisappointing. We were 2 adults and 1 child. The restaurant had no AC, and it was extremely hot and humid inside. The fans didn't help, and we were all sweating the entire time. The homemade chips were greasy, very hard, and they only brought a tiny bowl of it. We ordered a meat platter, but the steak was overcooked. No one came to check on our table during the meal. In the end, we paid $157 for one meat platter for 2, french fries for the child, with no drinks since they don't serve alcohol. They don't accept credit cards and when paying cash they exchange rate 15 pesos for 1 US dollar which is lower than everywhere else. I am recommending you exchange the money before you go. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere did not match the excellent reviews we had read. We left disappointed and couldn't wait to leave because we were so uncomfortable.
