Eat & drink

Where to eat in Rocky Point.

The food alone is worth the drive. Here's how locals and regulars split it up — from $3 shrimp tacos to long sunset dinners on the sand.

Fresh seafood

Shrimp is the local specialty — Rocky Point's shrimp fleet supplies much of northern Mexico. Order it grilled (a la plancha), in garlic (al mojo de ajo), or in aguachile. Pair with cold Pacífico and a view of the boats coming in.

The Pink Cadillac — beachfront, classic shrimp dishes.
Mary's — long-running family seafood spot in Old Port.
La Curva — local favorite for shrimp tacos and ceviche.

Tacos & street food

Sonoran-style flour tortillas, carne asada off mesquite coals, and shrimp tacos battered and fried to order. The best meals you'll eat here cost five dollars.

Tacos El Pollo — late-night carne asada institution.
Pollo Lucas — grilled chicken with all the salsas.
Street carts along Blvd. Benito Juárez after sunset.

Beachfront dining

Sand between your toes, ceviche on the table, sun going down over the Sea of Cortez. These spots are the reason people come back.

Capone's Boardwalk — pizza, pasta and sunset views.
Wrecked at the Reef — Sandy Beach, casual, great cocktails.
Boo Bar — toes-in-sand, live music most weekends.

Coffee & breakfast

Strong Mexican coffee, chilaquiles, and huevos rancheros to start a beach day right.

Kaffeehaus — strong espresso and pastries downtown.
Eddie's Place — hearty Mexican-American breakfast.
Café La Casa del Capitán — view of the harbor with your eggs.

A note on prices: Most restaurants quote in pesos but accept U.S. dollars. You'll get a better deal — and support the local economy more — by paying in pesos. ATMs around town dispense both currencies.
