Friendly Dolphin

Delicious food, beautiful decoration and hand painted details by native mexicans, enforce its slogan "A Museum of Flavor and Architecture"

Reviewed By 2babybluz - Pagosa Springs, Colorado

Been a long time since I have visited the Dolphin.... Wow... it has REALLY improved. I had bacon wrapped shrimp.... FABULOUS!! My husband had coconut shrimp. They measure not by amount of shrimp but by weight. He only got 4 shrimps.... but they were huge... we each only ate half!!! Got wonderful rice and I got 3 sauces to dip my shrimp. You HAVE to do the Friendly Dolphin!!!!

Yes. Friends and business associates gathered for dinner. Tables quickly arranged as was the service. No one had a bad meal. Although my husbands chimichanga could have been better. A couple ordered the Fiesta Platter. They had first tried it last winter. Delicious. Large variety of Spanish favorites but a warning... enough for 3 or more people. Service attentive. Can get very loud if people are celebrating. Recommend the fried ice cream for dessert. Plenty of sandy parking. Restaurant is clean. Cash only.

Lattitude 31 is a pretty good place to eat, but not my all time favorite. They provide good food and good service and they are located really centrally.
I'm not a big sports fan but my cousin who I was traveling with is and he was happy to find a place that he would watch sports at.

Mare Blu

Fresh and elegant. Inspired Italian course and seafood creations. You must reserve your events with us, sand and delicious food is the perfect combination in Mexico.

Reviewed By Kenneth B

Have been to this restaurant several times. Prices are a little above average for Mexico due to proximity to the US border. Lots of waiters to serve few tables, so relying on tips. Food is quite good with a good selection on the menu. Wine prices a little high and I didn't see any Mexican wines, some of which are quite good. I would call it a semi-formal atmosphere and worth a visit for that "special" occasion.

Pane Vino Ristorante

Reviewed By GianniB - Gilbert, Arizona

This place was so good...food, service, view and value...we made a follow up reservation for the night before our departure. There was not one weak link. We had the beef tenderloin boccancino appetizer, an antipasto plate and some fantastic clams - perhaps the best I’ve ever had. Just could have made a meal on clams and sopping up the juice with the house made focaccia. Wonderful.
Mains were Zuppa de Pesce, which was full of fresh seafood in a just spicy enough broth. Grouper, and a chicken Florentine that we’re both first rate.
Manuel, our server, was a real pro. Having been in the business for 40 years off and on, it was a real pleasure to have had him with us that evening.
The view was unparalleled with the sunset giving us a great show most of the meal.
Can’t wait to go back in Friday! Super value? A real can’t miss in Puerto Penasco.

During our week in Rocky Point we ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Max's. The food was well prepared, visually pleasing, and very tasty. They have a large breakfast menu, fantastic lunch menu and a daily dinner special. For dinner we had Chateaubriand for two for $25. It was one of the best meals we had during our visit.

Al Capones Seafood and Pizzeria

Reviewed By AirstreamR - Bandera, Texas

The reviews were good and accurate. And the pizza (the Henrietta with pepperoni added) was remarkable. Mouth watering crust, looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. They’d get a 5, but they turned off some of the lights because the owner didn’t think there were enough diners to merit all the lights.....can’t make that up. Go earlier so you don’t have to worry about lighting. Wonderful.

Chef Mickey's Place

Chef Mickey's Place is taking now credit cards (visa & master card) We open every day

Reviewed By Linda S - Poughkeepsie, New York

Chef Mickey’s remarkable skills and years of Las Vegas experience have resulted in creating a restaurant in Rocky Point, Mexico that is stunningly scrumptious. My husband and I, along with my brother and sister-in-law, enjoyed a weekend visit to Purerto Penasco last week and found this restaurant on Google Maps and read the fabulous reviews, which didn’t come close to giving this restaurant the FIVE STAR experience we had. They brought out a warm , fresh plate of garlic bread with dipping oil and balsamic vinegar, which was the beginning. We ordered an appetizer of fried shrimp to start which were huge, lightly battered and perfectly cooked. Then two of us ordered the “grillled” Caesar salad to split, but they gave us each an entire whole “head” of romaine lettuce, lightly grilled with a large crouton drenched lightly with dressing (and additional on the side). From there we all ordered the soup of the day, a multi-mushroom cream based soup. Outstanding. Then three of us ordered the filet mignon Marsala, and one of us ordered the file mignon Gorgonzola. All were perfectly cooked to order, the presentation was exceptional, but the flavors were undeniably some of the best any of the four of us have ever had. The meat could be cut with a fork, the baked potato came with a dollop of butter and sour cream and the small side of fresh vegetables were equally as delicious. Then, despite the fact we were totally satiated and stuffed, we shared two desserts....the same. An apple crisp cream cheesecake. It is an indescribable dessert so you will just have to go to Chef Mickey’s to enjoy it for yourself! YUM!
In addition to all of these remarks, Chef Mickey came over to our table and shared his food journey and future plans with us, took a picture and was so unimaginably humble as to his delectable creations as a Chef we all decided we would have to go back there again next year!
