Palenque Restaurant Bar | Rosarito B.C — Restaurant in Baja California

I have never written a review for any restaurant but I had to following my experience at Palenque. My wife and I travelled from Arizona to spend our anniversary, which is also Valentines Day, on the coast in Rosarito and found Palenque and it is by far one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. The view is breathtaking sitting right on top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific. The atmosphere was amazing! The restaurant was packed but that didn’t detract from the service or hospitality we received from the minute we walked in. A band was playing and the atmosphere was so festive and lively that it felt like a private party we were attending. It was so much fun! The food was outstanding, my wife had the fried tuna with chicharron.

The meat was expertly prepared with a seared crust and the middle pink just like I like it prepared. The bartender made excellent drinks, my wife really enjoyed the Tamirindo and Guayaba mocktail and I had my usual Old Fashioned, which was mixed just right. There were lots of drink options on the menu. The only bad thing I can say is that I am really disappointed it is so far from where we live otherwise we would be there every weekend. If you are in the area, go! you will not be...

Great views, great cocktails, and their molcajete with beef arrachera, chicken, and sausage is my new favorite dish of all of the restaurants along the Instagram-worthy restaurant row. Wow. It’s that good. The tuna tostada is also fantastic. We went several times this summer, and everything we had was top-notch. The staff is very friendly and attentive and recognized us after our first visit. We tend to avoid this area on weekends because it’s so busy, but Palenque has its own decent-sized free parking lot right in front of...
