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.

Sounds like a restaurant for Americans, but this place makes their own fresh tortillas daily…read more They have a menu on the wall and you pay first, get a number from them listed on your receipt, then get your order from their pick up window. We got eggs with complimentary tortillas on the side and hash browns, and an order of their omelette with chorizo, also served with hash browns and tortillas. Everyone eats tortillas with their meals here in Mexico. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the omelette with chorizo was just right and not too salty. We also ordered a side of fruit, which ended up being a large plate lol. Oh well, more food is always good right?! The fruit was pretty decent, but not as sweet as I thought it would be. Service was good and the cashier was nice and friendly. Happy eating!

There is a stairwell that takes you up to the restaurant not sure if it is wheelchair accessible. It was extremely hot where we sat being there were both fans and A/C near by.The employee seating us stated there were no other tables available. The food was good. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos with cheese. My husband the tostada mamalona and he enjoyed it. We ordered guacamole (I was so excited to try) and it was added to the bill but they never brought it out. We were able to get it removed. Once we received our food we never saw our server back at the table after that. A few times she was in the kitchen either eating or preparing something. Two other employees came by to clean up the table but aside from that - that was it. We waited maybe 10 min before flagging someone down to get the check. Really hoped for a better experience seeing the "cheerful" ambiance when we initially walked by.

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.

It was nice to be able to have a few drinks, chips, salsa and guacamole while the kids place at the beach. This place is the place to come to if you want to put your feet in the sand and have a drink. It is not the place to come to if you want speedy service and be in and out. We sat ourselves and had to wait a bit to get any service. This is a must while in San Carlos. Just be prepared to have to wait for service.
