Host, staff, and chef were welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful during my visit. The indoor dining space is regal with cloth lined tables, modern lights, symbolic deand lots of natural light filtering in during the day. FOOD BREAD ranges from cheesy, savory to nutty and sweet 5/5 DAY'S FISH (rockfish, tenderly cooked and folded) 4/5 Beurre blanc sauce (vinegar-forward, white wine, butter) | 5/5 Rice (perfectly cooked) | ?/5 Huitlacoche (I was told this is the black sauce mixed in with the rice, which is evidently black, when I was expecting this in corn form)| 5/5 Sautéed chard (flavorful and crisp, I wish there was more)

It's called Mission 19 but we actually believe it should be called Mission impossible. Impossible…read moreto get good food, impossible to get good service, impossible to find the place, impossible to get the staff to pay attention. Don't get me wrong, Baja has some amazing restaurants, and the fact that Michelin gave this place a nod is shocking. if you're going to advertise yourself as an expensive Michelin nod location and have photography that makes you look like a five star restaurant, your food and service should reflect that. The interior decorator must have been blind. Not a single piece of furniture or fixture for flat-ware matched. With ighting that made you feel like you were in a sterile hospital, perhaps they're preparing you to go to the emergency room after eating there. The meal started off with what we thought was ciabatta bread, but I think it was more like Chewbacca bread because it was as tough as a Wookie's skin. George Lucas won't be eating here anytime soon. We ordered four different appetizers to try a variety of their cuisine, and had planned on ordering our main courses. Let me tell you, we never even got to the main courses. We ordered the sopes without meat or cheese due an allergy, very simple request.....sopes with refried beans on it. First time it came with meat, beans, and cheese. We sent it back and said no meat and no cheese. Second time it came, it had meat and cheese and no beans......we said no meat and no cheese and sent it back. Third time it came, two of them had meat and cheese and one of them just had beans. And by the way, we speak Spanish. The waiter was extremely upset because we sent the food back twice, but how much clearer can we make it, if someone is allergic to something you don't serve it to them. Next came the octopus, not sure if they had just picked it up at the grocery store, but OMG, I can make it better at home. If you want Michelin worthy octopus, go five minutes down the road to Baja Med. The next appetizer was the empanada with the Wagyu beef, I was really hopeful, but perhaps they misread the recipe and put an entire stick of butter in there. Five minutes down the road you can get amazing empanadas at Baja Terra. Still starving, we got the crab tacos. We were excited to try it, but unfortunately, with the extreme amount of grease in them, it was hard to pick them up. They were useful for oiling the axle on my car. Michelin, do better, this place didn't deserve a second look, let alone a nod. Not even remotely close to being worthy of being on your list.

The price for the food and the drinks is unbeatable for how good the food and drinks are. The service is spectacular they're always attentive and make sure everything is going just fine, as for the atmosphere and overall restaurant vibe it's very calm with a nice elegant feel to it even tho it's a small eating area, the presentation of food and drinks is amazing I love the theme they're going with, and not to mention you're also near by the beach I absolutely love this place and I always keep coming back, if you're looking for a lowkey brunch spot with amazing food, drinks, and service this is the spot. Don't skip it !!

Good: *Waiter and host was very courteous and professional…read moreand kind. *I like how they put the check inside a mini book of questions to ask Saint Michael. *The who we had was good the French toast was great. The omelette with frijoles and potatoes was great. *The mango mimosas were good. *The café de Olla was natural. It was average. *They gave you a piece of pumpkin bread before you eat while you're waiting for your food. *The restaurant was clean with a small Catholic feel to it. *Parking outside was OK. Bad: * Very small café not good for large group parties. * A bit more pricey for the quality of food and drinks. * They prefer USD dollars or card. Conclusions: Due to the great services we were provided by the waiter, and if we're ever back in La Playas for breakfast or brunch, we would go back to San Miguel restaurant. I will highly recommend you try it.

I LOVE this place! My parents come here every time they're in town and now I see why. It's really…read morenew and an amazing find for tourists and locals; I love coming here for breakfast/brunch. 1) they make the BEST healthy juices!!! After a few days eating my heart out with tortillas, I definitely needed something fresh and healthy. They have green juices (my favorite), carrot and orange juices, and many more! They're freshly made and served in a large glass so you get a good serving. 2) if you're looking for something healthy or vegetarian, this is the place for you. They have Omelettes and other dishes that are all veggies inside, and even make the omelette itself with spinach! So cool, I've never seen that before. There's great alternatives and modifications here and good fruit. 3) the variety and creativity is insane. I ordered chilaquiles and there was a separate menu just for that! The meat is really tender and seasoned, and I love the sauces they pour over each of their chilaquiles. I ordered one with carne Asada and my boyfriend ordered one with pulled pork and Chile verde. WOW the Chile verde made the whole dish worth it. The chips are really crunchy too, not soggy which I hate from chilaquiles. 4) service and location. All the servers were really nice and helpful, really attentive. They even give you a survey at the end of your meal to see if your liked your food and service, great touch! It's so centrally located just a few minutes away from downtown, and is VERY NEW AND CLEAN. This giant plaza has a Walmart, a ton of restaurants, and a lot of stores for shopping.

After seeing so many positive reviews on TikTok, we decided to bring our family here for breakfast…read moreduring our vacation in Rosarito. Overall, it was a very good experience, but not quite a 5-star visit. The food was fresh and delicious, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. While we waited for our meal, they brought out a complimentary dessert and fresh fruit plate, which was a thoughtful touch and a nice surprise. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't allow outside drinks. Our server politely informed us that my daughter couldn't have her Gatorade inside the restaurant. It wasn't a huge deal, but I wish there was a little more flexibility for families with young kids. The other reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the seasoning. While the food was good, I felt it needed a little more flavor. Maybe our taste buds in the U.S. are just used to stronger seasoning, but I found myself wishing for a bit more salt and seasoning to really make the dishes pop. Overall, the food quality is excellent, the complimentary fruit and dessert were a nice touch, and I can definitely see why this place is so popular. I'd still recommend giving it a try and would come back the next time I'm in Rosarito.

We parked a stone's throw away from this place, so we decided to dine here. This place is a bit smaller than their other location, but the service was still great. Due to the pandemic, they have dividers between each table, and they have hand sanitizer sitting on a table by the entrance. We sat at a table close to the entrance. The waiter was attentive, and took care of us well. We worked up quite an appetite throughout that day, so we decided to go with a heavier meal. I went with one of my favorites, filet mignon. This came with pasta, and a loaded baked potato. The food was amazing! It was delicious, but did not leave me comatose thereafter. Their coffee was also good. Once we got done, we paid the check and made our way to the rest of Plaza Rio. This place is a gem, and one of many great eateries in this outdoor mall. I recommend this place if you find yourself here, or their other location if you are partying along Ave. Revolucion.
