SEAFOOD TACOS Tacos in Mexico aren't small! This place was my first meal in Mexico ever. I've only been to Mexico three times in my life, first time was diving in Coronados Island - never touched land. The other two were back to back random trips - on land. After motor-crossing in the Baja Mountains all day, we came here for some eats before heading back to the border. You can imagine how hungry we were! It's a locals place with the traveling word to the tourists. Portions to price, excellent! Everyone's order "1 fish taco flour tortilla". In my mind, I assumed tacos in Mexico were all street taco size and thought to myself, we were MX'ing all day aren't people hungry? My order "1 fish taco flour tortilla, 1 shrimp taco corn tortilla". What came to me, a burrito sized fish taco and a street size and a half shrimp taco. "Jane, I forgot to tell you the flour tortillas are big." This place is a do-it-yourself add the extras. They had plastic Tupperware with fresh chopped tomatoes and onions. Tupperware of marinated purple onions. And another Tupperware of salsa. And a squirt bottle of sauce. The person who knows crap about Mexico (me) asks "why doesn't the pico de gala not have cilantro". The local laughed and said "that would be the color of our flag. No cilantro." RECOMMEND. FISH TACO - loved the fresh flour tortilla. I'd say that was one of the best fish tacos I've had. I'm usually not a fan of fish tacos at all but this one was really good. Nice light batter, very crunch, fish fillet was flavorful, moist, and flaky. It was a lot to eat I couldn't finish it and bagged it up for the border. SHRIMP TACO - served on the traditional corn tortilla and regular size and manageable to eat in one sitting. The corn tortilla was white I like the yellowish color we see in the US. Again, I'm usually not a fan of shrimp tacos but this shrimp taco was the best I've had. The shrimp was fresh and tasty without the strong shrimp taste and nice and crunchy. I liked this taco better than the fish taco. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Not sure how much they cost because i was treated but I'm sure it was no more than $1-$1.50 per taco. Good stuff! Until the next review...
The Best place for Shrimp and fish ceviche. Fish tacos Baja style. I am sooo pleased I will highly recommend this place to you!!!! Besides customer services is amazing!!! Este lugar es uno de los mejores lugares para comer ceviche de pescado y de mariscos. También tacos de pescado tipo baja. Les recomiendo este lugar, aparte que el servicio es excelente!!!
Seriously the best place to eat in between Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo. They have the best fish and shrimp tacos. Their carne asada is also amazing. The sides are fresh and the drinks are ice cold. You have to work a little to find parking, which is what I did as I was part of a three car caravan. I won't tell you how much me and my friends spent cause I don't want to wait a long time the next time I visit if you catch my drift. Let's just say Taco Tuesday's at Rubio's north of the border is much more expensive! I'll be back for sure if and when I visit Baja Mexico again. Muchas Gracias mi amigas!
My 700th review is dedicated to Flor and her daughters who own and operate the most delicious seafood stand in Baja California. It is located just south on the free (libre) road that goes from Rosarito Beach to Ensenada. From the toll (cuota) road you take the Cantamar (Primo Tapia) exit at marker KM53 and go two blocks south. I have been enjoying Flor's fish tacos for over 20 years. Light and crispy batter is put on fresh fish and fried so fast and hot that it doesn't get greasy or oily. Light and airy. At the same time, handmade masa is rolled and flattened and then put on a very hot flat top to make that beautiful flour tortilla in the picture. It is almost crepe-like in texture, with tasty little burn marks. You get to dress up your taco with all the things that Flor has prepared such as shredded cabbage, crema, salsa fresca (cruda), marinated sliced white onions, salsa picante and limon (lime). You cannot find a piece of fish in a fish taco this large anywhere along the coast of Baja California. This is the king of the fish tacos. One fish taco this size is $2. Two is a lot to eat. I always have two. Flor also has shrimp cocktails, ceviche, caldo de siete mares and many other mariscos on the menu. Only soft drinks are here, but there is a beer distributor across the street. Cantamar (Primo Tapia) is about 11 miles south of downtown Rosarito Beach along the ocean. It has some of the best local restaurants without the crowds, noise and bad behavior of the low-life tourists in Rosarito Beach.

TL;DR: The fish tacos are off the charts - can't beat these tortillas First off, these tacos are huge, practically burritos The fish is fried perfectly and the texture contrast between the fry and the tortilla was perfect Love the fact that they provide tupperwares with shredded cabbage, pico, and onions Feels like I'm family :) Don't sleep on the full fried fish as well. Super fresh and perfectly fried Comes with tortillas so you can make your own tacos Gracias y salud, Mariscos la Alegria! read more

Just as other reviews have mentioned, this place is great. Mom & Daughter had just opened for lunch. Sweet, clean and delicious. Only Fish or Shrimp today, The tortilla's were the lightest best most perfectly grilled that I have had in MX so far. I had a fish and a shrimp taco, and a can of Tecate red. Yes they have some beer. Just depends on what's in the cooler. I appreciated the naked tacos - you "dress" them yourselves with fresh pico de gallo, cream, cabbage, onions, and a selection of hot sauces - one is homemade. Very generous helpings of seafood. I actually preferred the fish. All batter fried. 3 Shrimp, one fish, one coke, one beer - 125 pesos. Happy to have tried a new spot and will definitely go back. read more

Amazing tacos! Adorable little restaurant. The ladies running the place are welcoming and whip up some great eats! We had the shrimp and fish tacos. They serve you the tacos naked and have a condiments bar with all the fixins to make a great custom tacos! They serve beer so you can enjoy the tacos have a beer and see the ocean. All in all they are a great place and cant wait to make it a staple in the stops I make when I am down. read more
