Check out Splash for live music and good Mexican/American food that is very reasonably priced....it's half a mile north of the Half Way House at the
Cuenca Lechera exit off of the toll road and right on the water. For a nice dinner, Tapanco is a great option for steak and traditional Mexican
food....it's about a mile south of the Rosarito Beach Hotel on the west side of the street.

From a Long Time Resident
For what it is worth.
For groceries, the Mega Comercial or the Walmart have the best selection and prices.
In town for Mexican style food ocean views there is Los Pelicanos on the beach near the Corona Hotel.
For excellent steaks and seafood, La Estancia a few blocks south, beautiful interior, but no ocean view.
El Pandita on Benito Juarez boulevard in mid-town serves pretty good Japanese food - just rolls and teriyaki chicken rice bowls (hubby lived in Japan
and is picky about rice) - no sushi. It's literally a cart that has been backed into a mini-mall space. Only stools on the sidewalk.
And if you turn towards the ocean on the corner of the Banamex, there is a very small, mostly take-out restaurant serving Argentinian empanadas..
For seafood, Vince's Seafood Market and Restaurant, a very large, two-storu space with live lobster tanks a few blocks north of the Rosarito Beach
Hotel on Benito Juarez Blvd, near the Festival Hotel on the same side of the street. The have full bar service.
Tacos Gerente, a couple of blocks north of Tacos Yacqui on the same side of the street, is run by Hugo, the original chef at Tacos Yacqui and we like
it better.
There are two very good fish taco places named JR's (different ownership) down the free road about two miles.
A little bit farther south is Tapanco restaurant (same ownership as El Nido, but a bit less pricy) for ranch-raised, grass-fed steaks, lamb and quail
cooked over a wood-burning fire.
Or go venture down to the Popotla fishing village next to the Fox Studios where "Titanic", "Master amd Commander" and "All is Lost" with Robert
Redford was filmed.
Stay away from Cantamar/Primo Tapia - I want to keep those places for myself.

I've logged some time there, and that scenario is highly
possible, probably more so back in the day, the last
couple times I was in Rene's, it seems to lost the Old
Drunk Geezer crowd, I don't think anyone replaced
them, it did have it's days

Right, Festival. Thanks. How could I forget that? Last time I parked out front of it, my new Dodge Ram Hemi was kissed by a cement truck.
Hit-&-bye-bye! I do believe in Karma

Two criminal suspects of Russian nationality belonging to a Eurasian criminal organization and who were wanted by international justice for
trafficking in methamphetamine and stolen vehicle were arrested for the coordination of the International Liaison of the State Preventive Police (PEP)
after deploying an operating a housing complex in Rosarito Beach.
The coordinator of the International Liaison of the PEP, Alfredo Arenas Moreno said they had information about the presence of the now detained in
Baja California since the U.S. Department of New York Marshall had alerted the corporations border.
The first information released was that subjects were of Russian origin and belonged to a Eurasian international network dedicated to traffic
methamphetamine and stolen vehicle who were in the United States, but being issued an arrest warrant fled to the border and crossed to Mexico to seek
refuge.
"By having the data of criminals we conducted an analysis of intelligence about his possible escape route, which could be detected that would have
been established on the coast of the body area," said Arenas Moreno.
He mentioned that in carrying out the exchange of information with U.S. authorities suspected name Shogenov Tlostanbi, 27 and Azat Oganessian, 41
years old, were it located in the residential complex "Las Olas y Sol" in Rosarito .
Arenas Moreno explained that once the suspects were located intervened corroborating their identity, so were immediately arrested and brought before
the immigration authorities for deportation.
"The Eurasian criminal organizations conducted Illegal money laundering, arms and drug trafficking in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, although these
subjects had already extended their criminal work of the American Union," he concluded.
