there are two entrances to this restaurant. There is the older restaurant in the newer side of the restaurant. They appeared to be operating separately, but we chose the newer restaurant. It was a Saturday night and there was a band playing. We sat in the bar past the entertainment, which was good because we were not overwhelmed with sitting right next to a live band and speakers. We were able to talk and enjoy your evening. They sat us next to a window and the view was five stars + . It was absolutely beautiful to hear the ocean and see the sunset. I ordered a pepino margarita and it was delicious. We ordered fried oysters ( had never had these before) and a ceviche for appetizers. Both appetizers were well done and tasted good. My main entrée was the seafood soup/caldo de mariscos. The broth had a little kick to it and there was a large assortment of the seafood. It was really good and I would order it again. There was a LARGE crab leg and a portion of lobster as well. I was really impressed with the crab leg. I have never had that much meat from a crab leg. It was delicious . We also ordered a fish dish, which was recommended by the waiter. It was good and the fish (curvina) was excellent, not overcooked or undercooked. The only setback on the fish dish was the mashed potatoes. They seemed a little cold when the dish came out. The only other setback were the corn tortillas. Somehow they didn't hit the mark on freshness and taste. We travel a lot to various restaurants in the region and most of the time the tortillas are freshly made. We do have a high standard when it comes to homemade tortillas. These tortillas did not impress. The dessert- chocolate cake. Stater Bros. or CaliMax would have been better. No rating for the dessert The waiter was attentive and provided space which I like. He made sure we had everything we needed. Visit Splash and post your experience
Every time I'm in Rosarito, I make my way to Splash. Mostly because it's my parents' favorite place, but it's become a favorite of mine as well. The food is great, the service is top notch, and the views are hard to beat. There are a lot of restaurants along this stretch, but Splash has the best bang for your buck - 2 whole lobsters for $50? Margaritas and Piña Coladas for $8? Plus sweeping ocean views? Even the seagulls are chill - they don't swoop, they just chill hopefully nearby. It's a no brainer.
Service was great. Servers are very nice and adapt to what you need. Food was great. First time here and we were amazed with how juicy and tender the food was. Right temps. Would come again.
Once again - amazing food at Splash! They didn't disappoint! We ordered the large shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. We didn't know it meant that the shrimp were large! lol! Huge, in fact! Super fresh and tasty, with a little kick of spice. Danny ordered the grilled chicken salad with choice of dressing. Super good! I ordered the spinach salad which was phenomenal! I can't believe I ate the whole thing! It was chock full of green apple, strawberries, Bermuda onions, cheese and fresh spinach. The dressing was the perfect compliment. Delicious! I've added pictures of meals we've had there, previously. Their menu is so diverse...from whole fried fish to perfect Patty Melts!
Seriously skip the other Tik Tok Tourist traps and come to Splash you won't be disappointed. From the beautiful views to the incredible food the vibe is laid back and the staff is amazing. Our waiter Max went above and beyond he made our experience memorable and incredible. The food honestly reminded me of how my mom used to cook especially the Chile Relleno. The portions are huge and the drinks are just the same. I recommend sitting outside and soaking in the ocean mist and I bet you'll find out why it's called splash. Overall it was a delicious meal and incredible experience.
Lobster was cooked perfectly and was delicious! My waitress was super attentive and very sweet. Basically had the place to myself for a Wednesday lunch. My Labrador and I enjoyed the views and would definitely come back.
Come for dinner, go upstairs, sit out on the patio and enjoy the sunset and your food. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and checked on us, made sure we have everything that we needed. The lobster was bit chewy, the fried squid was decent - had expected the calamari rings, but they fried the whole squid body and chopped it up before serving. The oysters were ok, the fried whole fish was decent as well, it could have used more seasoning. Started with a beer, then moved on to the Mojitos, which really hit the spot!! If you are in the area, definitely worth visiting - decent food, awesome views!
This was my second time here. Sat outside on the back patio each time. Service is always good and beer is always cold. Got the fish & enchiladas last night for dinner which was delicious - always comes with plenty of sides + tortillas so can definitely share most meals here. Chips & salsa as well when you sit down. Great atmosphere, lots of people having fun and a beautiful view. Even saw people get splashed from a big wave (they sat in the splash zone)! Much better than the overpriced tourtisty spot next door.... Splash, we will be back!
The lobster was worth it! I loved the salsas as well! Especially the view!!!!! The staff were incredible too!!!!
This place never ceases to amaze me. From the days of its simple big green box-looking restaurant, that sits comfortably on a cliff with ocean splashing on its window panes, to its now newly built extended areas. Looking forward to what's in store for us next. Splash is a must- see. And, whether indoor our outdoor seating, there will always be room for fresh air, an ocean view, waves breaking, and breath taking sunsets. Simply amazing. This restaurant, located on the outskirts of Rosarito, Mexico, has been my favorite place for all my seafood needs. Although not exactly a lobster fan, Splash definitely made sure friends, family and myself kept us coming back. It was a place to rave about. Before COVID "era," $20 lobsters was the thing. Prices were reasonable and honestly, one lobster was not enough. Last week (Tuesday), my partner and I decided to have early dinner at Splash. As always, friendly staff, good music, great outdoor view, and lots of new additional stuff was done to the restaurant since last visit this past summer. Overall, the atmosphere was on point...even without the live band playing. Our order was placed (forgot our servers name), we received our drinks and dish in no time. Our food arrived, all looked great but for some unknown reason, my mix ceviche lacked the usual taste. Besides it being tasteless, it was served on the skimpy side and enough shrimp. I had to squeeze more lemon and salt to add zest. I rarely like using salt, but in this case, it was much needed, unfortunately. The lobster, similar issue. Something was lacking. The garlic butter sauce was much needed but still, it did not have the usual taste. We asked the server about the cook. That maybe the cook was new. He confirmed - it's the same cook. The food was definitely off. Unexplainably off. Our server, by the way, was so attentive and friendly. No complaints here. Even past servers were all good. Dining experiences at Splash were always good. Despite our dismay with our food, we will still return to Splash. It will still be our go-to for any occasion, or, simply, just because. Give Splash a try
Best mango margaritas with Tajín rim! Always as beautiful as they are delicious. Service is consistently good with large portions. The spicy margarita made from scratch is really good, too. Great ocean views and comfortable ambiance. Service is efficient and friendly. Highly recommended over the other nearby choices. JMO

Food was amazing, service was great . We were a party of 12 and they made it nice and smooth. Place has beautiful views with live music . Definitely will go again! read more
We have been coming to Splash every time we are in the area, for the past 10 years or so. Can't beat the location and stunning views, right on the cliffs. They have done a lot of renovations over the years, and the ambience is pretty amazing. I wish the service was at the same level. Last night, we were here with a group of eight, and everyone got their dinner except me. By the time my dinner arrived, everyone else was done. They said they would comp my meal, but it was on the bill when it arrived. Took more time to get it off. The food was good, but not as good as it has been in the past. We like that they often have live music on the weekends, which is fun. I am sure I will get over it and we will be here next time! read more

Beans and tortillas are soooo good here! We also ordered the mushroom and cheese fondue.. yum. Steak & lobster or a little dry, maybe overcooked but overall everything was delicious. Restaurant has a gorgeous view if you're sitting outside. Above all the service here is outstanding. The waiters were so much fun and very delightful. Celebrated my birthday, and they all came out to sing to the table and danced with us during slow periods. Thank you Max and friends!! Mucho besos!! read more

It was really fun watching the waves splash on the lower deck. Even though we were on the upper patio we still felt a bit of the mist on occasion and it was pretty fun. The live music was fantastic, a classic set of American music sung by a fabulously talented Mexican band. What we ordered: Lemonade - 4.5* very good and tasted really fresh. If you like lemonade (and lemons) you'll like this! It was almost a little too tart for me but my partner gave it 5* hands down! Mango mojito (no alcohol) - 3.5* very creamy. Doesn't have a very strong classic mojito flavor to it, I wouldn't have known it was a mojito variation otherwise. Passion fruit mojito (no alcohol) - 4* super good! Definitely could taste the mojito under the passion fruit. Loaded nachos - 4* this was bigger than our Mexican Combo. It was really good and we couldn't finish it as we were pretty full from our combo. I'd recommend sharing this with the table. Mexican combo - 5* about half our table ordered this and we were all satisfied. It easily satisfied both my partner and I (I wasn't that hungry to be with) and we honestly could've done without the nachos. The pepper had a nice kick to it. Oh, and the tortillas are amazing. read more

Delicious. The chipotle octopus was one of the best things we've ever tried. Margarita, Michelada, Octopus, Chips/Salsa, Mexican Platter (chile rellano, rice, beans, enchilada) - all of this food, ocean front and live music for only $42USD read more
My family is actually been coming to splash for almost 20 years, starting when it was in the original location down the street. Nick the owner is amazing and this place is like home to me. Go for breakfast and get the Shrimp Omlette and a Bloody Mary as you get you car washed! read more
This was one of the first places we tried in the area. Warm greeting by staff. Best thing here is the view. Lots of people outside on the deck taking pictures and enjoying the view. The food was ok. We tried the whole fish which my FIL said was ok, maybe needed more flavor and he wasn't sure what kind of fish it was. I had the enchiladas which were also middle of the road. The best thing we had was the clams casino. read more

Beautiful location with views and quality service. Food was delicious, hot, and plentiful in size. Great place to come for a date night, family dinner, celebrations, etc. Nice areas to walk around also in nearby restaurants with traditional Mexican colorful decorations. Pics of menu as of July 2024. read more
When you get to Splash Restaurante in Rosarito, Baja Norte, Mexico, the entrance is unassuming. Know the expression, "Don't judge a book by its cover?" That certainly applies here! I wanted to meet the creator of a 4-course meal that astounded me! Lo and behold, chef Arturo Abarca came to our table. He's warm snd friendly. It's not often that a great chef makes himself/herself accessible like that. When I gave Arturo a detailed description of the explosion of flavors going on with every bite, he was touched. Just take a look at the pictures - where can you enjoy a 4-course gastronomic lunch and simultaneously be treated like royalty? All for a moderate price, too. Our experience was unparalleled with server Juan Carlos and that amazing ocean view. It doesn't get better than this. read more
My girlfriends and I got a wild hair up our butts and wanted to get out of town for the day, so we decided to hop across the border to be backyard tourists. We headed to Rosarito to enjoy some fresh seafood. Now this place is not visibly noticeable right off the main highway. There is a dirt parking lot in front that you pay $5 to an attendant and then walk towards the back to gain access to the entrance of the restaurant. I highly recommend sitting on the patio to enjoy the ocean breeze and view. If it's a little chilly the staff will provide you blankets. Drinks are strong and the food is amazing. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. Our waitress was such a sweetheart. Afterwards head down to the beach and enjoy a cocktail at sunset. read more

My family and I love coming here for the lobster. Right now, lobster is about $40 for 1.3 pounds and a ton of sides. Not a bad deal at all considering the food is amazing. We always prefer to sit outside. The view is absolutely gorgeous. Take care sitting by the edge, you can get sprayed a bit. I personally like it though. The cocktails are lovely. Quite a few options and they make a very nice Margarita. Plenty of options for kids, which I'm grateful for since I have a picky eight year old. I was shocked when he downed a grilled cheese rather shockingly fast. He loved it. We used to hit the restaurants in Puerto Nuevo for lobster, but this is our new favorite spot. The food is better, and it's not as hit or miss as Puerto Nuevo. It's also much easier to find parking, and there's a security guard in the parking lot at all hours. There's also a hand car wash next to the parking lot. So if you'd like your car to be shining when you come back from dinner, that's pretty convenient. Overall, I recommend giving this place a try. It's a fun spot with great service, great food, and an exceptional view of the ocean just below the patio. read more
Splash was a blast! We were in town for New Year's Eve and spent our morning recovering at splash. The lobster is a must have and the Cadillac margaritas are delicious! The upstairs deck is super fun and when the waves are big enough they will splash ya! read more

Great food, incredible collection of tequilas and an amazing staff and vibe! They have built a great outside space right on the water to compliment the palapa and inside space. The best! Get. In. Here! read more
Been wanting this for a while! If I could give this place 6 stars I would! I drove 35 minutes from San Diego to try this spot and it did not disappoint! You can not beat the view right on the ocean, so peaceful! We were greeted so good right when we came in the door! Service was great! We got 4 orders of lobster tails, shrimp Cocktail, aguchile, rice, beans and buttered shrimp! Everything tasted great and fresh! I'm coming here every time I come to Mexico! Trust me it's worth it! Their prices are a fraction of United States prices! ¡He estado queriendo esto por un tiempo! Si pudiera darle a este lugar 6 estrellas, ¡lo haría! Manejé 35 minutos desde San Diego para probar este lugar y no me decepcionó. No se puede superar la vista del océano, ¡tan tranquilo! Nos recibieron muy bien justo cuando entramos por la puerta. ¡El servicio fue excelente! ¡Tenemos 4 órdenes de colas de langosta, cóctel de camarones, aguchile, arroz, frijoles y camarones con mantequilla! ¡Todo estaba delicioso y fresco! ¡Vengo aquí cada vez que vengo a México! ¡Confía en mi, vale la pena! ¡Sus precios son una fracción de los precios de Estados Unidos! read more

A must visit for gringos as the food, service and view are outstanding. Straight up on the ocean with waves crashing on the rocks. You may get wet, its that close to the beach. Great live music on the weekend, especially Thursdays with Pachco Blues- Awesome blues/rock band. A must see. read more
