Rosarito: Where the Tacos Are Always Better Than Your Ex
Rosarito, my friends, is not just a place. It's a state of mind. A place where the sun, the sea, and seriously good food collide in a beautiful, messy explosion of flavor. So, if you're planning a trip and wondering where to stuff your face, let me be your virtual foodie guide.
Tacos, Tacos, and More Tacos
Let's get real: You cannot visit Rosarito without diving headfirst into the world of tacos. I'm talking about those glorious, greasy, game-changing tacos that will make you question your life choices (like not moving to Mexico). Tacos El Yaqui is a must-visit, but don’t limit yourself. Every taco stand is a potential goldmine of flavor. Just remember, when in Rosarito, taco often.
Seafood So Fresh, It'll Slap You in the Face
Okay, so maybe tacos aren't your thing. Or maybe you're just trying to be fancy. Either way, Rosarito's got you covered. The seafood here is like nothing you've ever tasted. I'm talking lobster so fresh, it's still waving its little claws at you. Places like La Casa de Langosta are seafood heaven, but there are countless other options to explore. Just make sure to pair your seafood with a margarita. Trust me.
Beyond Tacos and Seafood
I know, I know. Variety is the spice of life, right? Well, Rosarito has plenty of spice. You can find everything from authentic Mexican cuisine to international fare. There are Italian restaurants, sushi spots, and even a few burger joints for those craving a taste of home. But let's be honest, you came to Mexico for the Mexican food, so don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone.
