In years past, you could find great shrimp or Mexican dishes, but not much more. Nowadays in Rocky Point, restaurants offer southern fried chicken, artisanal beers, paninis, pizza, strudel, and many other tasty surprises to enjoy on your next vacation. We like these places best: not only do they serve great food, but they\u2019ve also been around a while and have lots of fans.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Eat At Puerto Penasco Restaurants<\/h2>\n<p>Like any coastal town, Rocky Point cuisine emphasizes fresh seafood. Eat like a local with these authentic dishes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ceviche<\/strong> &#8211; Fresh raw fish is cured in lemon or lime juice, and spiced with aj\u00ed or chili peppers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Costa Brava Shrimp<\/strong> &#8212; Chefs wrap the shrimp in bacon, and marinate it in apple-honey-wine sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pescado Zarandeado<\/strong> \u2013 Fish with onion, garlic and hot peppers, char-grilled to perfection in a banana leaf.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caguamata<\/strong> &#8212; A unique dinner of manta ray steak fillets seasoned with oregano, garlic, and cumin, and prepared with carrots, green beans, celery, and Pasilla chili pepper tomato sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nOther non-seafood dishes you may enjoy include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mochomos<\/strong> \u2013 Beef or fried calf, served with flour tortillas and hot sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Menudo<\/strong> \u2013 Spicy Mexican soup made from tripe, chili pepper broth, lime, onions, oregano and cilantro<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tortas<\/strong> &#8212; Mexican sandwiches made served on crusty rolls with egg, ham, avocado, adobo, or chicken sope.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coyotas<\/strong> &#8211; Brown sugar, guayaba, or caramel wrapped in flour tortillas and baked into a sweet treat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Places to Eat in Rocky Point, Mexico<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few of our favorite Rocky Point restaurants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Capones<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on who you ask, you might hear that gangster Al Capone had a connection to Puerto Penasco, back in the days before air conditioning and legal booze. The legend lives on at Capone\u2019s, a two-story bar-restaurant that would not be out of place on Chicago\u2019s north side. The pizza is, as expected, Chicago-style, and there is also seafood and more. Sit on the patio and you are bound to run into someone you know.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Casa del Capitan<\/h3>\n<p>Up on the black rocks of Whale Hill, overlooking the Malecon, you will find the Casa del Capitan. In a town famous for its sunsets, this place puts you in the perfect spot to take a great photo. All of the Mexican dishes you would expect to see are on the menu. They have margaritas in big goblets, too.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Colin\u2019s Cantina<\/h3>\n<p>This is a lively little place at the entrance to the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/rocky-point\/vacation-rentals\/princesa\/\">Princesa Resort<\/a>. Presenting a mix of Mexican and gringo favorites like nachos or cheeseburgers, it also offers house originals like Mama\u2019s Blueberry Bacon Pancakes, Sting Ray Tacos, or bacon-wrapped onion rings with sriracha. Colin\u2019s has the distinction of offering the largest selection of beers in all of northern Mexico! This includes many&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wendlandt.com.mx\/\">Mexican micro-brews<\/a>&nbsp;you won\u2019t find anywhere else. Colin\u2019s offers live music and has bottomless mimosas on Sundays.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Mare Blu<\/h3>\n<p>Out at the very end of the beach past all of the resorts, you will find Mare Blu. Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients and seafood &#8212; like crab-stuffed ravioli and manicotti &#8212; is served for dinner. Try the salmon piccata, salmon saut\u00e9ed in white wine and butter with capers. There\u2019s live music on the weekends, and it\u2019s located right on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockypointvacationhomes.com\/sandy-beach\/\">Sandy Beach<\/a>&nbsp;next to Wrecked at the Reef.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Maria Bonita<\/h3>\n<p>The first big hotel in Puerto Penasco was the Hotel Lluvia del Mar, at the end of the Malecon. Sitting above the ocean in the hotel\u2019s courtyard is Restaurant Maria Bonita. A longtime local favorite, a plate of sliced fruit always precedes breakfast at Maria Bonita. There are no surprises on this menu, just Mexican food presented at its best. Machaca and eggs or empanadas stuffed with chorizo, cream cheese, and onions for breakfast are highly recommended.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>El Tapeo<\/h3>\n<p>There is now a wine bar among Rocky Point restaurants. With rustic wood, candles, and works by local artists, El Tapeo feels like it could be in northern California\u2019s Napa Valley. Along with the wine, you will find tapas. These are little plates of appetizers typical of Spain, with lots of olives, cheeses, and crusty bread. On Thursdays, they offer paella and live music. It\u2019s located at the Playa Bonita Resort.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Kaffee Haus<\/h3>\n<p>Though they\u2019re not open for dinner, Kaffee Haus brings a touch of German quality to the Rocky Point restauarant scene, and is always bustling for breakfast and lunch \u2013 for good reason! Homemade bread, pastries (try the strudel!) and great daily specials compete with an outstanding European-style regular menu. You will find waffles, huevos rancheros, and espresso drinks for breakfast. For lunch, try the cobb salad or the very large and delicious hamburger topped with blue cheese and grilled onions.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>La Fondita<\/h3>\n<p>Real Mexican food is found here, including mole, enchiladas, chile rellenos, and tortillas made by hand. There\u2019s lots of pretty Mexican tile and Vicente Fernandez on the stereo. Have the pie de guayaba, cheesecake with a layer of tart fruit underneath.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Max\u2019s<\/h3>\n<p>Max\u2019s is like a cozy neighborhood bistro. From the same family that owns the Sonoran Grill, Max\u2019s has a large menu. Some standouts are the Reuben sandwich, lox and bagels, breakfast burritos, and Bloody Marys. It\u2019s across from the Hotel Penasco del Sol.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>On the Malecon<\/h3>\n<p>No list of Rocky Point, Mexico, restaurants would be complete without a look at the strip of places to eat that is sometimes called the Fish Market. Drive into the Old Port and you will pass by souvenir shops and stalls full of the day\u2019s catch on ice. Buy a kilo of shrimp to grill back at the condo, or head upstairs to one of the many restaurants offering the freshest of seafood. Flavios, Lucky\u2019s, and Don Julio\u2019s are a few of the most well-liked eateries in this area.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Sonoran Grill<\/h3>\n<p>Right inside the Sonoran Spa Resort and open to the public, Sonoran Grill has long been a reliable favorite among Puerto Penasco restaurants. Their menu has been built through years of giving customers what they want. The prime rib dinner special on Fridays is a standout. Other favorites include the Shrimp Sampler with homemade dipping sauce, Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Tacos, Flounder Piccata, and Blackened Cajun Salmon.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>The Satisfied Frog<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of the Malecon\u2019s big plaza is The Satisfied Frog. For many years a landmark in Cave Creek, Arizona, The Satisfied Frog now makes its home among the restaurants of Puerto Penasco. There are large portions and lots of favorites that visitors from the U.S. will appreciate, like wood-fired pizza, fried chicken with mashed potatoes and coleslaw, and pulled pork sandwiches.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Zumwich<\/h3>\n<p>A tiny little place with a few seats, Zumwich is mostly about takeout. Grab one of their paninis, and have them juice some carrots, pineapple, beets, or whatever you like for the healthiest of lunches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Guide To Gratuities For Rocky Point Dining<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cLa Propina,\u201d or tips, are welcome in Mexico, as in the United States. Wait staff in Rocky Point restaurants are paid below minimum wage, so <strong>tipping 15%<\/strong> of the total bill (including tax) is customary.<\/p>\n<p>You can always tip more if your service was exceptional. Tips can reach <strong>as high as 25%<\/strong> when special requests are made, \u201cto go\u201d containers are requested, or if your party dallies at the table a particularly long time.<\/p>\n<p>If you are enjoying Happy Hour specials, be sure to tip based on the full price. If you are at the bar, $1-2 pesos per drink is fair gratuity.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to use a credit card, be sure to ask in advance if a cash tip is necessary. When tipping, use Mexican currency or US bills whenever possible, as US coins have no real value in Mexico.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Accommodations Near The Best Puerto Penasco Restaurants<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure to contact Sea Side Reservations to find a place to stay near the best Rocky Point restaurants.
