Beach Hacienda: CLOSE PROXIMITY
CLOSE TO OUR BEACH HOUSE
Restaurants to the north and south are listed in order of proximity
K-54: DELIVERY AVAILABLE from this friendly, neighborhood cantina & restaurant right next door to the Amador liquor & convenience store, WALKING DISTANCE FROM THE HOUSE. Quality food, (like a slightly more limited version of Splash's menu) that CAN BE DELIVERED TO THE HOUSE IN MINUTES for in-home dining. Good atmosphere, with live music often featured on the outdoor patio, where you can watch your car be washed next door while you relax and enjoy a cerveza or margarita in this slightly expat-frequented spot inside the old billiards pub along the free road, nearing the historic Halfway House Cantina & Restaurant.

K-52: For well over a decade now, Nico & the Santos brothers have brought life to the area with their mega-popular multi-level destination ocean-front Cantina & Restaurant. Consistently good food & great drinks in a safe, fun, upbeat family-friendly atmosphere with fantastic views, and expansive outdoor patios, terraces and verandas. Great default spot for lunching, dining, socializing and watching games and sports events. Immediately south of the new nightlife/party hotspot Los Portales & affiliated restaurant Encanto.

K-51: Cozy, pleasant, friendly, laid-back, and inconspicuous spot with good drinks, and tasty small plate/fusion items. Great go-to spot to avoid crowds on the big weekends. Sitting on the patio, overlooking the locals' beach and tidepools below, one might imagine a scene right out of Clash of the Titans, as the name suggests.

K-59 (@ LA FONDA exit): “Always good” breakfast (Banana pancakes are a must-try) in an old-world setting, with haunting ocean vistas and a Sunday brunch buffet unlike anything you've ever seen! Watch the waves roll-in onto expansive sandy beaches to the North and South, and sit on the patio or inside by the enormous fireplace in the historically-unique Tampico-style palapa interior & enchanting ambience of Dmitry's La Fonda, while you sip margaritas and enjoy the soothing sounds of longtime house performer, Paco's Flamenco guitar in the evenings. An unforgettable atmosphere thoughtfully crafted over the last forty years by the late but legendary Dmitry. From bananas hanging above the bar, to the 50’s-era bungalow-style frame & moldings, this place was -until his dying day- Dmitry's masterpiece. The chalkboard menus were each, individually, painstakingly handwritten in cursive by none other than Dmitry himself every Friday, and the sight of his empty stool at the bar from which he scrawled-out entree items will forever evoke fond memories of a fun and romantic place. There's nothing else quite like it.

Food scene
K-47/PRIMO TAPIA: Amazing Mexican restaurant with home-cooked breakfast and lunch inside this very cozy cottage setting, located up the road in Primo Tapia. Consider yourself lucky if you happen to arrive at the right time: Limited seating, and owners can be moody, so the gambit here is that it may be a bit of a drive just to get shut-down. Well worth it if you get in, however. Good luck!

K-47/PRIMO TAPIA: When it comes to tacos, I only recommend places that serve them al carbon, (from a wood-fired asador grill) AND that have a “trompo” (rotating spit) for cooking Al Pastor/adobada tacos.
This place has both, and the tacos are good.

Fun, fun, fun... y muy rico, tambien!
BIG tequila-based drinks, served in mini cantaros that are almost a meal in and of themselves!
Decent food as well, if you feel like eating.
Live Norteno music, it seems like all of the time.
I believe they have opened a new satellite location in downtown Rosarito near the Rosarito Beach Hotel, if you don’t happen to be visiting the cinema or requiring periodic shopping at the “big-box” stores.
Enjoy!
