I can't speak for restaurants in Rosarito, however, last weekend there were no local (Northern Baja) lobsters available in Puerto Nuevo, and they
were serving waaay undersized Chilean lobsters. Several Nomads chimed in on my post and stated that local lobsters have been out of season for about
three weeks now. Perhaps the same is true for Rosarito restaurants.

Vince's Restaurant and Fish Market in Rosarito
Has live lobster. They do a great job with everything on their very extensive menu. The combo gives you a 1/2 lobster, shrimp, calamari and fish
fillet. With a complementary serving of fish soup and salad, it runs about $22 U.S. Lobster only dinners are sold by size at fair market price.

I know that's not what your are looking for... but it's still what I like best in the area.

Las Pencas is the best restaurant in Rosarito Beach. Great lamb dishes. Also serve seafood. KM 28 1/2 off main drag in Rosarito. Great food and great
service. Rustic looking place. Try it.
Of course Thats Amore is wonderful. Best tacos are at "Las Cabos" across from the Red Cross Thrift Store behind Waldos.
Enjoy.......

I like Vince's too. Went to have dinner there last Thursday and we would have been the only ones in the dining room though. I never expect fresh
seafood when there is no one to eat yesterdays fresh seafood. They do have live lobsters in the tank- but be careful if you expect it to be the
price of the dinner special. A friend of our selected a live tank-lobster and it was over $40. He said it was worth it though (like he had a choice
when the bill came). They moved the fish-market up to the front window so you can def still find very fresh fish/scallops/oysters there to buy and
take home to prepare.

the best restaurant in rosarito IS Cazuela de Mole, it's right across from the cop shop... if you try the polo salsa verde and a margarita and don't
agree, I'm a psychiatrist and might be able to help you!!

Hi paul r, it's "Casa de Mole"
Just a minor correction to help prevent confusion about the name.
We like the restaurant a lot. I think the green (pipian) mole on chicken and the lamb mixiote meals are very good. Also, the margaritas.
The restaurant in Rosarito looks like a converted family house, the appearance is very attractive inside, with several dining areas. The service is
always friendly and attentive and, as far as I can tell, the clientele is mostly locals and the prices reflect that.
Here is a link to a review on the larger location in Tijuana, which has a more extensive menu: http://hungryhiker-tj.com/restaurants/mole.html

Las Mananitas (where is an enyay when you need one) diagonal from Waldos has killer caldos (Tortilla soup and Elote soup) and a delicioso molcajete
mixto. Had three folks eat there including drinks for $50/including tip.

Just went to Splash last night after hearing the reviews! We will certainly make this a regular place now. Two people in our party had the fresh sea
bass is was amazing. I tried the Costa Azul Shrimp and another party member had the shrimp c-cktail. All were very good!
Apparently the place has a quite a following as every table inside and out was full. I think the bike race had something to do with this. I have not
seen so many gringos in one place in Mexico for many years.

La Palapa has great Mexican and American food at Mexico prices. Besides, it's right next door to the gentlemens club (fogot name) which also has some
good eats

Well, we ended up at Chaubert's. Susanna's ran a close second but the sandwich board outside said Friday's special was a "stuffed porn chop" so we
opted for Chaubert's.
The c-cktails were iffy. The wine list consisted of 98% LA Cetto and 2% Domecq. Obviously, this restaurant has failed to hear of all the great wines
coming out the Guadalupe Valley. The food was quite good, as was the service, though it was like pulling teeth to get some bread brought to the
table.
We started with fresh cured salmon which was heaven. Then on to a Caesar salad which was made tableside. These guys are quite talented with a couple
spoons and fork, grating the garlic, mashing the anchovy...and seeing that much olive oil go into the dressing gave me pause. But it was delicious.
Then we went for the Chateaubriand for two. It was cooked perfectly and plenty of it. Needless to say, our dogs scored on that one!
Finished up with the bananas flambe, also made tableside.
So, 3 c-cktails, 1 bottle of wine plus dinner set us back about $160 USD. All in all, not to bad.
Even though this was the night before the bike ride, the hotel (as were the streets) was virtually empty, especially the new part where we stayed.
The restaurant was about half full. Have to say the new part of the hotel is quite nice although overpriced.

While bb2005 was getting torqued by the masseuse at the hotel, I walked around a deserted Rosarito to check out the restaurants. Susannah's had a more
interesting menu, but when I walked into the place to ask a few questions and maybe make reservation, I must have been wearing my Cloak of
Invisibility. She (Susannah) was right there, talking to a couple of people; and while I shuffled around plainly in her view for almost 5 minutes, at
no point did she acknowledge my presence or offer assistance. I figured if the service at dinner was going to be anything like that...forget it.
