    Early morning  cocktail
    Martha M.

    One of many shrimp cocktails, fish tacos, etc stand like small restaurant joints. Add booze & your good to go. I thought it was decent and maybe we've had more seasoned cocktails, but we liked how fast they served us, plenty of tasty saltine crackers and hot sauces. Prices were about average for out there. I'd come back if nearby for sure. Give em a chance, drunk or hungover it'll serve it's purpose!

    Small little seafood place in Rosarito. Nothing special here tho. Food was ok, Michelada was not that great. Price for food is pretty ok tho. If you want something to eat to help sober up, this place should be good. If you're looking for a delicious fish taco, I'm sure there are others around in the area. Bathroom is not working, just the sink so that you can wash your hands.

    This place is Amazing! I had a medium shrimp coktel and 2 shrimp tacos. My husband doesn't like seafood but he wanted to try the shrimp taco and he loved it. The place is small but the food is delicious and fresh made to order. The place has a small bathroom and is super clean! I was charged $350 pesos (19.72) and paid the amount not thinking anything of it and when we were leaving we drove past the restaurant and they all waved us back and so we stopped and they ran up to my car and gave me $7 back and said they had overcharged me and that they were sorry about their mistake. I loved their honesty, that's so rare these days! I definitely recommend this place!

We ordered a few items, and everything was fire. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. The fish was cooked perfectly, and everything just hit right. Service was great and super friendly, which made the experience even better. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you order here--it's all fresh and delicious. If you're in Rosarito and craving fish tacos, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Just don't forget to bring cash.

We parked on the street(plenty of parking) we walked in and were greeted right away. We ordered fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They make them right in front of you and ask you how you want them prepared. I ordered 3 fish tacos and my boyfriend ordered 2 fish tacos & 2 shrimp. The tacos are HUGE FRESH & DELICIOUS ! I was full after 2 but couldn't bare to waste the 3rd one so I stuffed myself. We will definitely be back. Also there was a guy walking around letting people try the fresh cheeses he made. They were delicious. We will now add this to our rotation everytime we are out here. So good. Also if you don't speak Spanish they do speak english so you don't have to worry. The place was biay and service was fast! Yum!!!.

    Came for Nana's birthday, left with a new Puerto Nuevo favorite!…read more Everyone on TikTok seems to say "Go to Ortega's!" when talking about Puerto Nuevo, but last time we went it was just okay and a little pricey (making the fam shuffle to put pesos together since it was cash only). We were celebrating my Nana's birthday and had a bigger group than usual, so I started looking around on yelp for other options. There are SO many little lobster restaurants along this street, but this place had good reviews, the pictures looked good, so we figured- why not try something new? And I'm SO glad we did. Actually, before we even got there, all the restaurant promoters were trying to get us into their places and asking where we were headed. Every time we said this restaurant, they were like, "Oh yeah, that's a really good place!" I'm sorry, but when the people trying to steal your business are ALSO admitting the place you're going to is good... I'm listening. We got in, immediately got a table, and they brought out chips, salsa AND fresh ceviche. Ceviche is one of my favorite foods, so at that point they basically had me. Then the food came out and the whole family was happy. The lobster was amazing, the tortillas were fresh, the rice and beans tasted like Nana made them herself, and the drinks were PHENOMENAL. Everything was flavorful and fresh, and we all had such a good time. What I really loved about this place is that it reminded me why sometimes the little local spots are better than the big, famous ones. You don't always need the biggest restaurant, the most viral TikTok, or the place with the best-known view to have an amazing meal. Sometimes you just have to look around and give one of the smaller places a chance. And this one absolutely delivered. The restaurant itself is quite a bit smaller than Ortega's, and you do have to walk up a few stairs, but nothing crazy at all. I actually liked the smaller, more intimate feel. And when we were walking out of the restaurant we say them preparing all kinds of ceviches and other dishes right there. We saw several things we hadn't tried before and immediately started making a mental list of what we want to order next time. This wasn't just a one-time birthday dinner either -- I've already come back since her birthday, and now this is the place I recommend when anyone asks me where they should eat in Puerto Nuevo. So TikTok can keep telling everyone to go to Ortega's. Me and the real foodies are happily enjoying this little spot instead. 10/10. Nana-approved. Family-approved. Ceviche-approved. Can't wait to go back again

    We found this spot on Yelp, after looking through other reviews and comparing them to other spots…read morein the area. We were also welcomed by someone promoting this restaurant on the street/inviting people to check out the food. I realized later that they also have a downstairs bar and restaurant (you can also preview the seafood selections from the cart). We opted to eat upstairs since they had a bit of a view with a more open seating area. Only about 3 tables have the view of the water/beach, while the rest of the tables are either on the side overlooking the street, in the middle of the restaurant, or on the side where you can kind of see the view. They also have a nice photo opp/background also on one of the sides facing the water view. We were welcomed and seated and got to check out the different sized lobster options (this was what immediately drew us to this spot initially). We were greeted with complementary chips, salsa, pico de gallo, and ceviche. It was a nice welcome surprise. We got an order of 3 medium lobsters and an order of garlic shrimp. We also got a bottle of Tecate and a Carajillo cocktail. One of the neighboring areas had a mariachi band serenading different tables in their outdoor restaurant area. And that provided a lot of entertainment for our seafood feast. We also had other musicians come through our restaurant to try to serenade us, but nobody seemed to want to fork over any money. The drinks came pretty quickly and even though I'm not big on beer, the chilled bottle just somehow made sense and tasted a lot better. The Carajillo was tasty and served with an orange slice. I felt like it was the perfect combination to the coffee forward cocktail. The Appetizer was delicious, although I'm not big on any spicy items, the salsa was good in small doses. The ceviche and pico de gallo were super fresh, as were the tortilla chips. When we got the main courses, they came out rather quickly. They were split and halved. Same with the shrimp. These dishes were also served with an order of beans with rice, freshlu made flour tortillas, as well as a side of butter dipping sauce. The food was extremely fresh and came out rather quickly. Our server seemed to be a bit attentive and check on us a couple of times. When we finished, we ended up getting 1 homemade flan to share and another Carajillo to pair. The drink was just as good as the first one and prepared similarly. The flan was tasty, just a bit on the sweet side for me. It was the waiting that kinda got to me. It wasn't that they forgot about us, but that we were probably waiting around for a bit before the server came back to check on us. We may have waited an extra 10 minutes before we got the check, paid, and left. Food and drinks: 5 stars Service: 4 stars (courteous and respectful, just bit less attentive than we would've hoped for.

    Under the white arch between Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo, you will find the quaint fishing village of…read morePopotla. Besides being in the news for drugs and human smuggling, Popotla is known for their fresh, daily caught seafood. Mariscos La Guerita is a restaurant here. Made from leftover lumber and the blue vinyl tarp, this ghetto- fabulous eatery was visited by Anthony Bourdain. To find this place, just look for a banner that says "Antoni Bourdan visits Rosarito Popotla". It's a bit intimidating if you do not speak Spanish. First, purchase your seafood from the countless vendors on the beach. (Fish range from 20-50 pesos per kilo) Once you purchase the fish, take it to the fish cleaning station. They will clean your fish for a tip. ($1 a fish) Take the cleaned fish to La Guerita and they will cook it up to your liking for about 30 pesos a fish. They will provide you with rice, beans, tortillas and an assortment of hot sauces. While you wait, make sure to check out the other stalls for their Cóctel de Mariscos or have a few beers. There must be crack sauce in the oil. Pescado Frito and the fish tacos are among the best I've had. (My wife has tried many times to duplicate the flavor but never can.) Spider crab and the sea urchin not so much. In the winter months, look for the brown box crab. It is better than the Alaskan variety. If you are in Rosarito, Mariscos La Guerita and Popotla is a great alternative to Puerto Nuevo. (Lobster Village) Just make sure you don't need to go to the banos. (bathroom) If you do, it's 5 pesos and a tetanus shot.

    I saw the high rating for this place and went for it. By coincidence we happen to end up at the…read moresame place Anthony Bourdain ate at. My boyfriend is a big fan of the late Anthony Bourdain so he was ecstatic. We bought our crab and lobsters from the fisherman and brought it here for the ladies to cook. The place is super ghetto fabulous like others have said, nothing fancy about the plastic chairs and the pig hanging out by your feet while you eat. However, one of the best seafood meals I've had in my life. Will definitely be back soon!
