Máxico | Restaurant Rosarito — Restaurant in Baja California

Aggressively a tourist trap. The place got famous for its beautiful views and pretty looking dining areas. And yes, the place is very pretty and good for photo ops. But that's all it has going for it.

I have come here twice, two years apart, and I am not coming back ever again. The food is at an OK price, but the taste is just passable. The service is very slow. We had a reservation, and they still made us wait an hour to get to a table. The waiters get orders wrong. One of my family members is allergic to cinnamon, and despite telling them directly that we can't have cinnamon, they served us the usual cinnamon coffee anyway, putting her life at risk. They also accidentally brought an extra drink that we didn't order, and despite taking it back, they charged us for it anyway. They even brought us tortilla scraps from another table instead of getting us fresh ones.

The atmosphere would have 5 stars, but we struggled to have a good time not for the visual aspect, but because of the sound. They had good music playing through speakers, but they also simultaneously had live music from two different bands, one playing trumpets, and one banging loudly on drums. It was overwhelming and made it extremely hard to hear even my own thoughts.

The inside is also full of merchants selling little trinkets, trying to prey on tourists that came here on recommendation from TikTok and Instagram.

Please skip this one on your trip through Rosarito. There's many places that really deserve...

I went twice in one day. Service was fine the first time for breakfast but the server got my order wrong. I should have went with the first order. I ended up with tomato canned soup with an egg omlete with two random pieces of hard chicharrón on top. Mimosa was lame: I asked for juice on the side and there was a cherry inside which literally raised the volume. They also gave me 1/2 the glass. The Bloody Mary was ok but again don’t expect anything grand. Pink bubbly was too sweet. Apparently they don’t know how to make coffee the old school way and there was no coffee until 11am. But the ambiance and venue is basically amazing. Take all the pictures and video, the garden and building are astonishing.

I really wanted to give this place a chance so I made reservations for lunch. What a disaster!!!! Ordering took for ages. My old aunt drank her coffee and then they informed us it wasn’t free anymore after 1pm No free bread. Finally when we received 1/2 the food. Cold everything was cold and nasty. My grand uncle was so hungry he ate his salmon cold. There’s a million servers and and no one to help I ended up flagged someone down and telling them. They attempted to reheated the steaks and they basically came back warm and gross (like when you put a steak In the microwave)

Would I come here again? No The structures and garden didn’t save it the second time. And extremely overpriced Oh the tuna was fishy The passion fruit shrimp just tasty...

This place is okay.. the ambience is pretty cool. Half of the staff seemed kind while the other half seemed irritated. I went over the menu with our waiter and discussed the dishes, there are two rib eye dishes: just rib eye and one aguachile rib eye. My husband and I each ordered the rib eye but the waiter had accidentally brought out the aguachile one. At this point we are both two drinks in and they move us from the bar to a table and switch waiters. We keep waiting for our food for almost an hour ( since they brought out the wrong dish) and during that time I had 3 different waiters ask me if I was ready to order, I kept explaining I already ordered.

It seems they forgot to re input our correct order… eventually our rib eyes came out. We both ordered them medium and they came out rare (it definitely was rushed)… we ate around the raw parts of the meat but the meat wasn’t even seared and we didn’t enjoy it. We had at 5 different waiters attending us in total and none were on the same page. One of the nicer waiters offered a free dessert. We declined since we had already been there for 2 hours..

Still left the standard tip since there were nice waiters but the overall experience lacks and we won’t...
