Rosarito mariachis?
Our Canadian guests would like us to take them somewhere in Rosarito for dinner where mariachis play. Since it's during the week, do any of you know
such a place that would be safe? Or is it prudent to be back to our residence before dark?

I don't know about the mariachis, however common-sense would suggest as has been stated numerous times before here on Nomads, to not be out driving
after dark in Mexico.

Looks like current events have completely terrorized you, Ronni. That's a shame. What "Don't drive at night" means is don't drive where you don't
belong at night.
If there are Mariachis playing in Rosarito centro, go enjoy them. If they're playing five miles out the La Gloria road, don't.
Let common sense be your guide....not fear.

Ronni, you never go out at night living in Rosarito?? That seems crazy! That's gotta be tough with the sun setting at 5pm these days. When people
says don't drive at night in MX, I am pretty sure they are refering to poorly lit rual roads that you are unrfamiliar with. I don't think anyone would
tell you that driving in downtown Rosarito after dark is a real threat. Obviously driving anywhere in the dark is not as safe as it is in full
daylight.

In the daylight you can go to the few restaurants that are still open during the day in Puerto Nuevo. In the daylight, you can ask which restaurants
know of Mariachis who play during the week.
In the daylight, you can go to the major hotels and few remaining large restaurants in Rosarito and ask the same questions.
Since you live on the outskirts of Rosarito, you should have all the time in the world on your hands to get out and learn about your environs, during
the daylight.
If those seem like too daunting tasks, then you should go to La Vuelta and ask if Mariachis play on the night that you want to go out. La Vuelta is
located on the corner where Avenida Revolucion changes into Aqua Caliente in TJ. In the daylight, you can find the place and park in their very
limited parking lot for free. While you are there, you can have lunch.
Otherwise, order pizza delivered from Rosarito and turn on the local radio for your friends.

No one goes out at night in Rosarito except the few tourists looking for something that is open. It's a virtual ghost town.
If you were to stay at Puerto Nuevo and wander over to the village for food and mariachis you'll be just fine. If you stay at the RB Hotel there
would likely be mariachis on site somewhere (call the front desk).
Whatever you do- do not drive the free road from Rosarito to Puerto Nuevo at night. It's probably a safe enough drive except if you follow the
painted road lines around Calafia you'll be in trouble.

why radio? Sirius satellite has an "All Maricahi" channel I torture my neighbors with on Sundays. And why pizza? TJ Juniors delivers fish tacos to
your door. Or have Pollo Asil deliver hot char-broiled chicken. (But if you do order pizza- use Virgilio's)
We live in Rosarito. We got out for lunch often- but "order-in for dinner when the cook has the night off at home.

Or, if you want the full ambiance, order Mexican food. 
OK...Woooosh already touched on that idea.

Maybe they re-aligned the lane lines finally... hope so.

That's a good idea! Go familiarize yourself with the area before hand, find out the good spots and then return later for dinner.

Whoosh, you reported "Sirius satellite has an "All Maricahi" channel I torture my neighbors with on Sundays."
Now share with all of us the channel number or be known as a liar.

I don't see it either although there are some interesting south of the border music channels.
Anyway, Gull, you should be enjoying something like 195. Turn it up for YOUR neighbors if you want to pay them back for something.

wow. liar. Hmm.
I get the "All Mariachi" on Channel 876. This is the satellite DirecTV Sirius/XM music channel I pipe through the whole house, but not until tomorrow
I think I can save us a few back-and-forths by stating we may both be correct (well- except for the liar part)...
I get Sirius channel 876-Mariachi (surrounded by: channel 875- Hurbano and Channel 877-Carnaval Brasileiro) through my DirecTV Satellite. That
channel may or may not not be available on a Sirius receiver.
You wrongly assumed Sirius only broadcasts by satellite on the equipment you have to receive it. Apparently they do multiple broadcasts or you just
aren't paying for enough channels.
That liar thing still stings... I deserve one of your stars for that. Moderator! Never mind- I didn't realize I already had more stars than you..

Vince's Seafood Grill
One or two blocks north of the Rosarito Beach Hotel on the same side of the street.
Great food and the wandering minstrels pull up there day and night. It is a huge space, so any number of musicians can be easily accommodated.
Call Vince's and someone will know how/who to get in touch with a group that will wow your guests. If you don't have the phone number, I will happily
volunteer to look it up for you.

Good food, middle price range, usually a band on stage weekends. The Upstairs seating with outdoor terrace is nice and you can keep an eye on your car
while you eat.
You can pick out your fish at the retail market side and they will prepare it for you (doesn't have to be deep fried). You can also pick a lobster
from the display tank- but it will cost over double what the lobster dinner on the menu goes for (we had a friend pick one out and get bit by the
check.
