Rusteeco Food Truck

If you were hungry when you began reading, we can promise that your mouth will be watering by the end of the page, especially when we tell you about the treats Rusteeco has in store for you. Offering all the Mexican foods you love to eat (although we just call it food here in Mexico, of course!) the trucks grill serves burritos, quesadillas, even hamburgers and French fries for those seeking an American meal while in unfamiliar surroundings.

El Carrito Tacos and Tortas

In Rocky Point a food truck may be more of a food stand, but we can promise that the food will taste the same, whether on wheels or not. El Carrito Tacos and Tortas is a perfect example, serving tacos every day of the week and a delicious selection of tortas (basically Mexican sandwiches) sure to please even the pickiest of palates.

Tacos & Hot Dogs El Comemos

Providing a fiery drama with every taco sold, El Comemos is one of our favorite mobile food vessels, as they prepare your favorite hand held meal on fiery grills. And although hot dogs may be seen as an American dish, your first bite of a Sonoran hot dog will have you change the way you view the world of food. Wrapped in bacon and topped with onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños, you might also want to add some sliced avocado to complete the perfect meal.

Iguana Banana

Although we have never seen a banana or plantain on the menu of Iguana Banana, we do enjoy dining at their food truck as often as we possibly can. Serving breakfast (try anything with chorizo as the meat and you will never eat American breakfast sausage again) the most delicious burritos in town for lunch and offering a full dinner menu that includes fresh seafood (even oysters) this full service food truck will never fail to please.

Toskos

One of the greatest parts of Mexican food trucks are the extra low prices you can expect to pay for restaurant quality food and Toskos takes their meals to the next level. Surprising visitors with their mediterranean style menu of gyros, pitas, and salads, they also offer American foods, Italian dishes, and the most delicious brisket you have ever tasted in your life. New Yorkers will be quick to confirm that Toskos seems to know what it is doing when it comes to deli foods!

Aquachiles (La Carreta)

Ceviche is a Mexican seafood delicacy that won’t take you long to get a taste for and the ceviche sold at Aquachiles is some of the best we have ever tasted. Offering a flavor filled seafood-centric menu, their fish tacos will make you fall in love.

Rocky Tacos

As you explore the sites of Rocky Point you may find yourself surprised at the sheer number of taco stands, taco carts, and food trucks in the area, but we love to eat and there is nothing more we love to eat than the standard taco. Taco stands in the US are popular as well, but if you travel south of the border and don’t find some time to sample the tacos of Rocky Tacos, well, would you even be able to say you enjoyed an authentic Rocky Point experience?

Asadero El Patotas

Offering a little taste of everything that makes Rocky Point delicious, Asadero El Patotas is a local food stand that serves tacos and hot dogs. This gives visitors another opportunity to savor a Sonoran hot dog and if you are feeling particularly hungry, order some fries to go with your dog and fill all the empty corners of your stomach.

Seafood and More at These Rocky Point Restaurants

Considering we are in Mexico, it goes without saying that a great deal of what you’ll find dotted around the beach and area will be the cuisine of the area. However, you won’t be finding your Taco Bell or Chipotle; instead, you will be getting the real deal with authentic Mexican food and trust us when we say you won’t ever be looking for a new place to try! However, if you do you might want to check out La Casa Del Capitan, who offers a wide variety of excellent dishes and seafood. You’d find your classics such as mouthwatering chili rellenos, fresh fish tacos, and coconut shrimp! However, while the food is sure to have you thinking back upon it in wishful yearning, the patio is the real gem which hosts a phenomenal view of the oceans blue with the occasional whale rearing its mighty head to say hello for moment.

If you haven’t had your fill of seafood though, you might want to head on down to El Oktopus, who are well known for large portions and fresh seafood. You’ll find some classics such as clam chowder, however you’ll also see some unique local dishes as well such as octopus quesadillas! Not to mention they have a full bar, as well as an excellent view which provides a perfect view of the painted sky as the sun begins its tired decent. Imagine sitting at your table, looking out over the sea which is such a deep blue that it looks as if it’s made of sapphires, with palm trees overhead covering, and protecting you as you sip a mojito and feel your body relaxing. Or you can always just focus on attempting to devour your plate of delicious nachos, the sheer amount of which your stomach had underestimated.

If your fishy craving is still unsatisfied, though who can blame you, after all you might as well get your fill while the freshest of the fresh is still so easily available, then head on down to Mary’s Seafood Restaurant! With a full bar, and plenty of outside seating, Mary’s is sure to become a regular stopping point as it has for so many others! You’ll be hard pressed to find better scallops, grilled shrimp and oysters, flounder, and garlic shrimp! However, if you’ve had your fill of seafood, don’t worry, as they also have a wide selection of non-seafood items such as chicken fajitas, carne asada quesadillas, and more! Not to mention the fantastic views you will be gifted with while you dine and enjoy a true taste of Mexico. However, if this doesn’t catch your fancy, there are still plenty of places you can try.

Our final seafood restaurant is Chango’s Bar, which is sure to satisfy any final overwhelming desires you might have for the seafood the areas known for. You’ll find carnivale samplers with an assortment of fish and shrimp, you’ll even find Boston shrimp which are wrapped in bacon for an extra bit of flavor! You’ll also find a lovely platter with an assortment of shrimp and octopus! Not to mention the outside pool, perfect for quickly cooling off after a day under the tropical sun!

Mexican Food and Beyond

Getting a bit away from seafood, let us continue our exploration by visiting Tacos El Molcajete which of course has your usual seafood, but it has a surprisingly large variety of tradition cuisine as well! You’ll find a large selection of fajitas ranging from steak to chicken, to shrimp. You’ll find a wide variety of nachos, such as nachos supreme which comes with just about everything, creating a towering behemoth that anyone would feel miniscule before.

As well, you’ll find a wide selection of different proteins for all of these, and specialty creations that are sure to cause your curiosity to rise. Not to mention, all of this with the typical awe-inspiring views of the ocean that huge the town.

We are going to end this journey on a bit of a different note. While many would expect to find a variety of different Mexican restaurants, few would ever think to find German food so far from home. However, Kaffeehaus does just that with a large selection of German cuisine that is sure to ignite not only curiosity, but a ferocious hunger within. You’ll find a variety of different items such as omelets, pancakes, pork schnitzel, chilaquiles, banana cake and more! They even have a bakery that provides a selection of pastries, brownies, lemon desserts and more! However, this little find even provides a wide selection of various coffees for you to try from your classic drip coffee to a warm comforting late.

The Point Restaurant, Circunvalación y o Malecón Kino 200, El Puerto

Offering beach views and oversized plates filled with your favorite seafood dishes, the Point Restaurant has become a local tradition for travelers seeking a delicious meal! Put on your flip flops and head to the restaurant to eat off their seafood-centric menu (burgers are available for the less than adventurous palates) or grab it to go and enjoy it in the comfort of your FMI Rentals winter escape. We’ve yet to have a bad meal, and narrowing down our choices to just one is nearly impossible, but if you try their fajitas you definitely will not regret it!

La Curva Restaurant and Sport Bar, Blvd. Francisco Eusebio Kino s/n, Centro

When you are looking for a little fun to go along with your tacos, burritos, and nachos, La Curva Restaurant and Sport Bar should be your first stop! Offering dine-in service in a space designed to attract beach loving sports fans, they also offer curbside pick-up for those who still are not too sure about dining with the masses, ensuring that everyone who desires a hot winter meal will have their wish come true! A Rocky Point tradition for over 35 years, there are no wrong choices for your meal, just lots and lots of delicious options. If you are really hungry, the surf and turf combination offers thick and juicy steak, fresh shrimp, locally sourced chicken, served with rice AND a baked potato!

Margarita Mermaids, Circunvalación El Malecon

What is it about a quirky name that has you trying out a spot without knowing anything about it? That is what happened with us the first time we saw Margarita Mermaids, and we are happy to say the food is as delicious as its name is fun! Open for dine-in and curbside pickup, the menu of this special spot is filled with fresh seafood, delicious Mexican dishes, and as a special surprise, some of your favorite American dishes as well! Try their chicken and ribs dish and do not be surprised if you find yourself coming back to the same dish every time you visit.

Lucky’s Cantina, Circunvalación y o Malecón Kino 26

Another Rocky Point tradition can be found at Lucky’s Cantina, offering dine-in service and curbside pickup and a refreshing bar menu as well as your favorite Mexican meals! Breakfast at Lucky’s is guaranteed to cure any hangover, and their tacos are built to please every craving. Additionally, their seafood menu includes dishes that were more than likely swimming around in the Gulf waters that make Rocky Point so popular and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, inviting you to come back again and again during your winter stay.

Latitude 31, Blvd. Benito Juárez García s/n, Centro

Every getaway deserves at least one high-quality meal, and even though Rocky Point is famous for its laidback vibe, Latitude 31 offers the exception to the rule! Featuring a Mexican food-centric menu and open for dining in or taking out, even the burgers served here taste as if they had come from an elegant restaurant. For those who happened to visit over the Thanksgiving holiday, a full American menu was featured, one that included homemade pumpkin pie! During the winter, however, their enchilada plates will feed your soul as they warm you from the inside out.

Pink Cadillac Restaurant, Calle Mariano Matamoros s/n, El Mirador

Our final selection of the day is another south of the border tradition, one that offers the ultimate party experience as well as hot winter meals that you will dream about long after you are gone! Open for dining in and taking out, the Pink Cadillac actually has a menu centered around your favorite American foods, but they also offer a few Mexican dishes that should definitely be tested!

Lolita Seafood

Lolita is one of the best places to grab some good old-fashioned Mexican seafood here in Rocky Point. Try the Pescado al Mojo de Ajo (fish with garlic sauce), or maybe the Camarones al Coco (coconut shrimp). Everything here has a classic Mexican taste to it, while also reaching for island flavors. It’s delightfully innovative, and we love it.

Pollos Lucas

Pollos Lucas radiates a friendly and homely atmosphere, and the outdoor seating area is spacious and quaint all at once. The tortillas here are absolutely to die for, and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Taquería Los Poblanos

Street tacos are everyone’s favorite, and at Taquería Los Poblanos, you’re getting the best! With generous helpings of meat, freshmade guacamole, grilled ingredients and more, anything you get here is a surefire win.

Inland Street Vendors

Don’t Forget, You’re in Mexico! Of course, it seems like a no brainer, right? But if you’re coming to Mexico from elsewhere, it can be a bit of a culture shock. In many ways, Rocky Point is geared towards tourists, and thus it tends to feel Americanized in the heavy traffic areas closest to the sea. So truly, the farther you go off the beaten path, the more ‘authentic’ the Mexican food will be. The smallest establishments (the food carts, the mom and pop shops, and the roadside vendors) are where you’ll find the hidden gem Mexican food. These hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop shops are the places filled with generations of love for cooking, and with a world of culture packed into every bite. If you want Mexican food that hasn’t been watered down for tourist consumption, you’ll want to explore your dining options further into the city beyond the shoreline. Try this out on a day when you have other activities in mind than beach days, such as riding ATVs out on the desert hills, or heading to explore the World Heritage Site, El Pinacate.
