Mr Flores' gas station in Why has, hands down, the best burritos on the road from Phoenix to Penasco. It is very hard for us to pass without stopping for one red chili and one bean and cheese.

Great discount coupon available for La Casa Del Capitan. We had a group of 6 and saved some serious cash!
We have used that coupon at least 10 times this year and you are correct, a big savings!
Smart move on the part of the owners. We have seen a real uptick in business since they started that promotion back in December.

We do seem to find ourselves there at least once every time we visit. I personally cannot decide which is better, the margaritas or the view!
Put them together - Awesome!

Ate at Mare Blu last week. A group of 10 of showed up and not very busy, maybe 4 other tables. It took over 45 min. for us to get our salads after we ordered and more than 30 min. after that to get our food which was not as good as we had in the past. Another table was complaining about the wait when I asked if there was a problem they kept saying the food was coming. A couple that we brought was so frustrated they gave me some money and left. We all went to Pano Vino another night and as always great service and great food, what a difference.

I have experienced terrible service at Mar Blu in the Malecon such that I will never go back. On the contrary, I have always had great service at Mar Blu on Sandy Beach. Hard to imagine the owner is not aware of the problems.

We have only been at the Mar Blue on Sandy Beach. I agree they are a little pricy in comparison; however, we have always had an excellent experience. Perhaps we have just been lucky, but the same can be said for establishments anywhere - one person has a different experience than another.

Defrente reports to Tourist restaurants on Sandy Beach have been closed down for Heath reasons...they do not say which. also poaching is really getting the shrimp catch..."The shrimp poaching closed season is the main reason for sampling by the National Fisheries Institute (Inapesca) produce results little flattering for the next harvest shrimp to start in September, declared Hermenegildo Ramirez. The head office of this port fishing regretted that clandestine capture pink crustacean in the juvenile and spawning was one of the most possible causes that there are few volumes of shrimp on the coast of the Sea of Cortes according to studies and surveys conducted in July and August.
He said that unfortunately there are people who did not obey the closed season for shrimp which began in March to date, and which surely affect those working and living from this activity in the municipality of Puerto Peñasco.
"The reports we know the crew of the ships during the expedition were Inapesca results tell us that few flattering and shrimp low volumes, so we believe that we are approaching a season low productivity compared to other years" , said the federal official.
He acknowledged that have not yet been made public the start date of the shrimp season, but tentatively indicated is mid-September, as well as historically has happened in past years in the town of Puerto Peñasco and Pacific litorial.
He said the previous 2012-13 season shrimp capture this port is rank this as good harvest, increasing the volumes of the crustacean at 201 tonnes and up close to the market price per pound in the foreign market.
Finally Hermenegildo Ramirez worked reported that last year about 90 boats and shore height, which reached in the 2012-13 season catch of 1560 tons of shrimp, bay being 16 tons, while in 2011-12 achieved 1,359 tons and 3.8 respectively Bay.

Two restaurants were shut down out of 28 that were inspected, they might of not been in the Sandy Beach area because the tourist zone extends from the Mirador all the way to JJ's.
Me either! LOL
I know that Chill Out Bar on Fremont is closed for 2 weeks, but not sure if that's the reason why or not.

We moved here June 2012 and have a few secrets we have shared with our friends.
Taco Poblanos-- Simply said, the best carne asada tacos I've EVER experienced. The pastors are ok, but the carnes asada is off the charts.
Mariscos Express-- Just down the street between Rosies and Poblanos. Awesome. Always fresh, always clean and an incredible value. The best seafood in Rocky Point. Go the Malecon for the atmosphere, cold beer at Boo Bar but get your seafood fix at Mariscos Express.
Fruit and Veggies-- Bypass the middle man and go right to the supplier. Coliman's sells to Super Ley but you are more than welcome to buy direct. We go in once a week and come out with two or three bags of the good stuff and have a hard time spending more than $15. If it's in season, they have it and always the best and freshest in town.

I agree Tacos Poblanos are the best in Penasco- a little picante, but delicious! We tried everyone's suggestions, but Tacos Poblanos are the best we've tried. I used to eat them with flour tortillas, but I tried the fresh corn tortillas after I saw the woman making them fresh from the masa, pressing them, and grilling right there. The best Carne Asada tacos we've found are in Sonoyta at El Serape.
Where is Tacos Poblano and Coliman's?

Agree with you about El Serape. Their food is great! Have you tried their beans? Served in a cup almost like a soup with carne asada and melted cheese. Makes me hungry thinking about it!
