Taco de chile relleno con camarón, y salsas. Es muy bueno.
Lisa K.

Good drinks, food and service. They have a great salsa bar with lots of option. Very American prices.

Tacos and stuff... lol

Best tacos in San Carlos. Great atmosphere. JJ is pretty bad a**. You must try when you visit. They have cigars as well.

Live music

Very good restaurant set inside a giant new palapa. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and JJ is fun to meet. Live music some nights. Good menu with a few local novelties.

Don't be concerned about the plates covered in plastic. That's just how they do things. Lol

Casual, inexpensive, GREAT food! JJ is very welcoming, excellent with suggestions, makes sure you have everything you need, and is always keen to make you another one. 'Who cares!' haha.

Regular "Donkey".

My first visit to San Carlos and I went down for my birthday. I was so very surprised with how much…read moreI enjoyed the trip and this restaurant was part of what made this trip enjoyable and memorable. We were out late- 10pm for dinner and so many places had already closed, when spotted this petite place. There were a few tables still there seated outside so we figured we could go in without being too much of an annoyance for being the last table of the night. The wait staff was wonderful. His Spanish was perfect if his English needed help. My Spanish was more sign than spoken, but we got things ordered and he was extra patient. Our drinks were delicious. I had a limanade mineral- fresh squeezed limes, sugar and sparkling mineral water. Then we had Taco A La Diabla, Chimichangas de Cameron and Flautitas de Marlin. All were seafood base and delicious and very well presented. The chimichanga was very crispy, well seasoned, fresh and beautifully presented on a cutting board. The Flautitas were also arranged in a pleasant plate. The Diabla was by all means the best seasoned of them all and I swallowed them down so fast- Yummmy.

Went with a group of friends & family to have breakfast & it was incredible! All the tables inside…read more& out have a great view of the sea across the street which was beautiful. We ordered bloody marys which were delicious. I also got the chorizo, cantaloupe, toast & beans which were filling but good. The staff was professional but kind and spoke some English which helped but I tried to communicate in Spanish as much as I could. Can't wait to go back again someday when I'm in town visiting!

My family (locals) love this place and wanted to take us. It is quite literally off the beaten path…read moreand you have to take a dirt road, but views are amazing. The location is in an area just north of San Carlos called "La Manga", so almost all the restaurants in the area are called as such. Remember this one is specifically Doña Rosita and is the largest building in this really tiny dirt road town. We ordered Agua chile mixto, cocktail de camaron, tostada mixto and micheladas. Everything was great. The locals warn about the raw food in the heat of summer, and recommend something treated with lime like ceviche or agua chile, or something cooked. The young locals stomached the raw cocktails no problem, though. Service was as expected. They were able to accommodate our table of 14 without a reservation. We got a free dessert because it was someone's birthday soon. They play this really loud, traditional song and blow whistles and gave a choco flan cake with a firecracker candle. This restaurant is definitely not low stimulation in high season. We did have a 5 year old at our table who absolutely hated the loud song and whistles, but she stuck it out as she's also a local.

I'm not sure why this place is so loved and popular. We've gone twice now and both times were just…read moreokay and we've gotten sick after eating there each time
