Hotel Review: South of the Border at the Rosarito Beach Hotel

This señorita welcomes visitors to the Rosarito Beach Hotel.

In the past the Rosarito Beach Hotel was the only hotel choice in Rosarito.  It’s been around since 1925 after all.  When Rosarito was Hollywood’s playground the Rosarito Beach Hotel was frequented by the likes of Orson Wells, Gregory Peck, Spencer Tracy, and Rita Hayworth.  In fact, just above the entrance is the statement, “Por esta puerta pasan las mujeres mas hermosas del mundo,” which means through this door pass the most beautiful women of the world.  Smooth talker.

Sea and Farm-to-Table Dining in Rosarito Beach Restaurants

We all know that Baja California is the land of some of the best taco stands in the world.  The towns along the coast have also been long known for delicious and affordable grilled local lobster.  In addition to these Baja food staples, Rosarito has also joined the farm-to-table movement, which provides some additional exciting dining opportunities for visitors to Rosarito and nearby Baja towns.  During a weekend in Rosarito we had the chance to eat ourselves into oblivion at a few Rosarito restaurants so we could share some of Rosarito’s best food finds with you.
