Easily one of the best dining experience I have ever had. The food and service are world class, absolutely blown away by the quality of the experience. We visited to celebrate my mom's birthday, when the staff found out it was her birthday they did something that was far more heartfelt and human that simply singing happy birthday. They gave us a lit candel and had us pass it around saying something nice about my mom. It was a very touching and special way to end the meal and I know it ment a lot to her. The food and ambiance was great, highly recommended you get dinner and watch the sunset. To the staff, thank you so much for your hospitality and memorable meal. We will 100% be recommending you to anyone we know headed to Rocky Point.
I adored the shrimp tacos! So delicious. Our waiter, Marco, was super nice and engaging. It's right next to the pools so it's got an ocean view. Has very nice indoor seating available or outdoor. The carne asada tacos were very good as well.
This place is definitely fine dining, but not too fancy for us gringos. The food was soooo good. Probably the best Alfredo sauce I've had, and when mixed with the shrimp it was the perfect meal.
This restaurant really has it all. This is our first visit and the atmosphere and view are incredible only topped by the amazing menu. We had a shrimp dish and the tuna and both were impeccable. Very beautifully presented and matched by great taste. The service was very professional and personable and everyone that we met from the hostess to the manager were very friendly and accommodating. Our server prepared two sauces at our table one spicy and one not too spicy for both of us and that was really a special treat. It may be a while before we can come back but we highly recommend this restaurant and we cannot wait to come back again.
Santo Coyote service, food, and atmosphere is great!!! Prices are a little on the higher side, however all the amenities in the area make up for that. The table salsa is to die for and the table side Caesar Salad is cool to watch them make!! We had the molcajete and the Octopus was delicious!! The costillitas were also great!!
What an amazing experience. I have been wanting to come here for a while and finally got the chance to make it happen. Marco was hands down the best server I have met in Puerto Penasco, he truly cares and goes above and beyond. Everything from the atmosphere, the service, the food and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. The drinks were very good and the food had so much flavor. Marco even hand made the complimentary salsa fresh in front of us. I highly highly recommend you stop by here and if you can get Marco as your server you are in good hands. Cheers to an amazing time and experience. I will definitely be back without a doubt!
Most attentive service I’ve ever experienced. Staff were so friendly! Tableside custom salsa preparation. Tamarind and mango margaritas were some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Molcajete was incredible. Overall one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Also, the music after sunset was so good - I want their playlist. The infinity pool overlooking the beach looked amazing, I actually asked at the front desk if we could come and hang out at the pool one day and buy drinks but they said we’d need to be staying there. I do wish they sold day passes or something! 2/3 buildings are still under construction so it’s not finished but I’m super impressed with everything and would love to come back and stay here.
Absolutely incredible! Food is phenomenal, as is the service. Good selection of wine - they're new and working in more. Lomo is fab tho not on the menu - ask for it.. Had the 350gr portion last night - last time we had the 750 gram portion - flamed with Bacanora!! Salsa is incl. - like chips ans salsa but is made tableside. Caesar is outstanding and made tableside! So is guac. An absolute must try if you want great food and top-notch service. Right now, reservations are required. Manuel is pictured and is awesome!
