Good food good service super clean place. Good drinks . Best salsa I've ever had. Super fresh food good prices.

This is located on the right side as you head into the Popotla area in Rosarito. We ate in the casual booth area but there are other splices to eat in the building. Food was delicious, service was great!

Shrimp Diabla Style was fantastic! It was fresh, savory, and spicy. Came with a side salad, rice, corn tortillas, and a wonderful small cup of fish soup as a starter. The corn tortillas were "ok", but the dish didn't really need them anyways. We had chips, salsa and guacamole as a starter. Chips were fresh and crispy, salsa was perfect and guac was creamy and tasty. The fish taco was also very good. The place is clean and staff is friendly. Prices were good, but not a steal (example, Shrimp Diabla was $175 MP/$9.05 AD). I'd go back and try many other items, because based on the quality of what we had, seems like you can't go wrong here.

Food is good would come back. We are not seafood soup people but when we travel we like to try new things and it was actually good! Kinda pricey but it is a tourist spot so that explains that. Everything we tried is pretty good ! Don't skip this place.

Shrimp queso Taco and Gobernador Queso Taco

This place is soo good especially the Gobernador Tacos and the cocktails definitely a place to go and enjoy some delicious Mariscos in Rosarito BC Mexico

The menu

Wanted to check out Popotla and see what all the hoopla was about- Turns out, its a quiet, sleepy little town that happens to serve up some of the freshest, most flavorful seafood in Baja. And very cold beers as well. We tried fish tacos, which were great both grilled and fried, Ceviche, made with Octopus and fish, super fresh and flavorful, and a few more specialties. Of all the little roadside shacks available this one is the most worthy.

Tasty Seafood, lots of different dishes. Perfect for a quick couple of fish or shrimp tacos and a cold beer.

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 continued to celebrate my prebirthday in Mexico, so we came here to have lunch. They are located…read moreright on the beach and let you purchase seafood from one of the vendors nearby or you can just pick out something from their cooler and have them cook it for you. We picked out a fish that was about a pound and walked next door to get a coconut while we waited...When we came back my friend already started eating without us lol. The fish came with rice, beans, and tortillas and was so yummy! We even had a mariachi band entertain us while we ate!
