La Negrita Restaurante: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing food and service, just off the beaten track so not a tourist trap. We had a bit of everything , And their Baja fish tacos were some of the best I've ever had. Asked them to "heat" them up a bit and they brought me a side of sauteed jalapenos in a savory broth that was off the charts!! We'll be back!
This is our new favorite place! Our kids loved their carne asada tacos and my husband and I loved our volcano!!! The flavors were so on point and I wanted to lick the bowl. It was the perfect spice. The server/owner knows English well, was super nice and very attentive. We will be back!
Had lunch here on our way out of town. For came in a volcano and was very good and authentic. We had ate here before at their previous location. They have since expanded to a restaurant on the 2nd level of the Mar y Sol hotel. Food is great and they have plenty of weekly specials and a breakfast buffet. Follow them on Facebook for updates. Be sure to try them out. BTW. The scope and lotion in the bathroom (the extras) made the experience even better
Update: New Location is amazing. Same great food. Great local family restaurant. Great owner speaks perfect English. They do now serve alcohol so you cannot bring your own drinks anymore. Chimichanga was filling and crispy immediately out of the fryer and the enchiladas were excellent with fresh lettuce on top. The guacamole was chunky and fresh and we left stuffed. Will be back again. We have had so many great meals here and just keep coming back for more. **I removed some of the old locations photos and will add more next visit**
After arriving in Puerto Penasco this was our first stop following recommendations from friends. Our server (owner?) was friendly and inviting. We ordered Fajitas de Pollo, Burritos de Carne, and Camarones al Gusto which included huge bacon wrapped shrimp! Our meals were excellent, large portions, made with fresh ingredients. This was a small covered eatery, very cozy. I do recommend this eatery!
WHOA! This place is INCREDIBLE!! First off our server was so great! Super friendly and very attentive We shared the Trio Volcano and it's probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. Seriously! We shared it between 4 people as an appetizer and I think next time I want a whole one to myself haha. They have great BOGO deals throughout the week and the volcano came with a free Margarita! How can you beat that?!? I HIGHLY suggest this place and can't wait for our next trip down to try a different volcano
I had the most amazing dinner there tonight. Roberto’s (the owners) service was excellent. The #7 Volcano was a combo of shrimp, crab and other chunks of fish in sauce/soup to die for all served in a huge fired stone bowl with the broth still boiling!!! I highly recommend this venue. The only negative is that it is on the second floor. It’s worth the climb!!!
This restaurant is a little hole in the wall type place. Nothing fancy as far as the restaurant itself but they save that for the food! Three of us each had the small skirt steak volcano which was out of this world! The meal comes in steaming bowl and includes steak, cheese, onion, guacamole , jalapeno, asparagus, and some type of cactus leaf in an amazing sauce. It is served with your choice of tortillas and you then can eat it straight out of the bowl or make little burritos out of the ingredients. We did a mix of both and everyone thought it was really good. They also serve more normal food a week. My brother had a chimichanga and some tacos. The tacos were good, he said the chimichanga was decent. If you like unique food experiences you definitely need to try this. As far as the service, or server spoke English and was very attentive as well. Overall this was a great experience and we will be back for sure.
