Susanna's

I love this place been coming for over 10 Years!!! While in Rosarito I visitied 2 times. Each time it was absolutely amazing, the service is excellent, the food is 5-star, the ambience is amazing. Even live music and a resident cat. Please make sure you visit. Both nights my server was Julio, he is a sophistcated and humourus man who knows all the dishes. Can't wait to come back again. I really can't recommend it more.

First off im not one to do reviews but i could not resist. She never ceases to amazing me with her dishes. Each time I come ( which is every other month ) I find a new favorite. Tonight hands down the best pork dish I’ve ever ate in my life. It was prepared with a slightly spicy pineapple sauce. I have no idea how the pork was so tender but that’s her secret :) I can with amazing garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus it was so good I ordered a second plate.I travel regularly and live fine dining and this place is one of the worlds best. Can’t wait until November to try something new. Thank you Susanne and God Bless. .

The fantastic food and the chocolate cake is to die for. Fantastic four small and large groups. Large groups make sure you make reservations ahead of time. We had a birthday party here today and had excellent service and the food quality was superb.

Very pleasant place to dine in and the waiter Julio gave exceptional service l. Definitely coming back soon!

Had one of the best meals of my life. Had the Salmon with Fettuccine which was delicious. Great ambience such a gem out of the craziness of the area. Service was great. Went the following night to get the salmon again they were closed at 10:00p. I highly recommend this restaurant

This is a good restaurant to consider. It was my first time trying it. I had heard lots of recommendations. I had the lamb and my nephew had the salmon. The lamb was a little tough and I expected it to be more tender. It had a good taste. The salmon dish was very good. The service was excellent and the decor was very nice. Parking is a little difficult. I recommend the Rosarito Beach hotel to park and walk over.

YOU MUST GO HERE! My wife and I took a long weekend to Rosarito and found this place on our last night, what a bummer, as we would have eaten every meal here! The food was awesome, the service was over the top. I asked if they had blue cheese olives for the Martini I ordered and was told no. I said no problem, but when the drink came it had Blue Cheese Olives in it! They hand stuffed them just for me! Now that was super special. Then the food came and it was some of the best food I have ever eaten. You have to try this place!

On the evening of Thursday, July 17, we visited Susanna’s for the first time on the recommendations of two friends. They have a great menu. We had the chicken fettuccine with blue cheese and the chicken kabobs and mashed potatoes. The service, food, and environment were excellent. We will definitely return the next time we are in Rosarito.

I consider this place one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, and have come back here time after time again during vacations or visits to Rosarito Mexico. It's location is tucked off the main road in a peaceful, quiet alley lit by hanging warm lights. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with no premixed ingredients, and serving sizes are plentiful. They are known for their out-of-this-world tapenade spread, served with perfectly toasted bread to every table. All items on the menu can be modified which is rare south of the border, and the servers speak great English. The staff is always friendly, our server Julio was the best and even brought over a mini heater to keep the area warm for us!

Filet didn't even taste real. The service was great and the ambiance was a little awkward.

Susanne's restaurant is my ultimate favorite whenever I come to Rosarito. From the special crème cheese jalapeño cilantro pesto, tamale to the fine wine selection from the Valle de Guadalupe. Everything is impeccably served. Thank you Susanna for your exceptional hospitality.

absolutely loved this place. I was booked for a trip with a group in Rosarito and was looking for a nice spot to book a dinner reservation for my girlfriends birthday. Susanne immediately reached out via email and helped me plan a fantastic night filled with nice music, great service, and they even made a beautiful cake for my lady too. I wish susanne the best of luck and hope everyone takes a visit!

Susanna's siempre te revive con una calurosa bienvenida !!! El lugar es lindo la comida muy rica !! Me encanta visitar Susanna's y siempre con ganas de regresar con mi familia y amigos !!!

I highly recommend stopping by this quaint and charming restaurant nestled in the Rosarito strip. It has a warm home ambience and welcoming staff who are eager to provide a pleasant experience. The menu is a wonderful California Mexican fusion that is exquisitely prepared and served. You will not be disappointed.

Had yet another great meal at Susanna's today! I tried her burger which she has on her lunch menu. It was cooked perfectly, the fries were hot and the service as always was EXCELLENT!

The food is just wonderful and in 20 years has retained it's consistant quality. I have eaten there many times in the past and recommend them to the visitors and newly relocated people I meet. Susanna is an onsite host and brings sophistication and warmth to every visit. Go once, you will go often.

The appetizer in the photo could be a meal for two! The portions are generous but not overwhelming. Apologies for not taking more pictures but we had a great time and will definitely be returning. Susanna's is inside a little courtyard they have indoor and outdoor dining. By far the best margaritas I've ever had anywhere the mix is homemade and very fresh! Tina had her Negroni and she loved it. The size of the drinks are just right not too big not too small. We also shared the poblano pasta dish which was absolutely out of this world! Then we had an ice cream sundae and port wine to top it off! Julio was great on the phone and got our drinks to us quickly! I don't remember the other servers name but she was awesome too! Highly recommend.

If you need a place to take your date- This is it! This place is off the main street in Rosarito, tucked in the back behind a taco shop that looks like its also pretty good. Anyways, it is a little confusing walking towards it because the way they have the setup it includes what looks like several other places and a beautifully arranged stone garden. We were here at night so we didn't mingle much outside but it has a romantic vibe. There is a great selection of wines and some bar options too. They do have a children's menu but is only a few items in it. My daughter had the Penne pasta with cheddar and she loved it. I had the balsamic chicken and I loved it, I was so full I couldn't finish it all. Left some of the veggies on the side . The service was fast, the food was warm and the music was good. I totally recommend this place!

So great Fancy, great food The cabin experience was amazing Tapenade was so good Fresh bread

Excellent customer service, quality of food , good drinks, felt appreciated by staff, plus got free dessert due to my wife birthday

The first time I came to Rosarito we found this little gem in a hidden shopping/dining area. Although we did not go there during this visit I made sure to add it to my list. My husband and I made it a point to come here in September 2020 to have dinner. We sat on the patio and ended up meeting another couple from our area, which was great. The staff was wonderful and the ambiance relaxing and peaceful. However, the winner of this place was the food. Everything was so tasty and fresh. I definitely did not feel like I was heavy after eating my apps and meal here. I also have the margarita here, which was very refreshing. We will definitely be returning here on future trips to Rosarito.

A couple girlfriends and I went on a Thursday night, it was not busy, and I ordered the strawberry salmon that came with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, and we also got the jumbo shrimps. The food was amazing. We decided to go back Saturday night since it was such a great experience. They were understaffed. l ordered the exact same dish, it took us almost 2 hours to get our food. Halfway through eating the salmon I knew that there was something wrong. Needless to say, I ended up with food poisoning.

Hands Down Susanna's is the Best Place for dining in Downtown Rosarito. Susanna has a way with decor that is magical. The seating both inside & out is comfortable & perfect for conversing with friends. The windows allow for a cool breeze and sunshine from the outdoor patio area. Most importantly the cuisine is amazing along with the drinks I love the Margaritas. Her staff is seriously the Best.

I have had several people recommend Suzanne's and I final ate there last night with two friends. I will definitely be coming back! We all had different entrees and everyone of us loved what we got. We also ordered an appetizer and a bottle of wine plus two additional glasses of wine. Our total was $98.00US and well worth it. The service was excellent and very friendly. It's in a courtyard with several other restaurants and even though it is close to all the party places it's in a very tranquil setting.

So delicious! An elegant oasis in the frenzy of rosarito beach. Highly recommend the tamales and margaritas. They also make their own bread and tapenade!

So we came here one night, I would say about 7 PM for dinner... it was last minute. I have to say this probably was the most delicious steak dinner that I have had in a while. The spread for the bread OMG that was so delicious! We got a bottle of wine plus crab cakes for appetizer. Everything was very tasty! Can't wait to come back!

Susanna's is an American-style food eatery in Rosarito. We visited off the advice of locals, and had an ok experience. Parking can be tough as it was limited outside, so make sure to factor that into your plan for the evening. If you live in Rosarito, and perhaps don't get american-style food very often, it's likely a treat. Coming from San Diego, I found it to be just ok for the price, and based off the reviews I must have come on an off night. We ordered the sweet/spicy pork ribs and the filet mignon. I found the ribs to be tough, and the flavor to be much more spicy than I imagined. Service was just ok, and I was jealous of all the reviews that talked about their wait staff being warm and welcoming. Perhaps we'll give it another go on a future trip.

I cannot believe that I hadn't found this place before!! Where do I start?? The location... it is just off the main drag, but nicely tucked into its own little oasis. The space is filled with waterfall rock walls, awesome plants and flowers and a full outside patio. Our server Julio, was an absolute delight and made sure we were taken care of. We started off with the california bruschetta and crab cakes and then ordered the ensalada greco mediterrian, swordfish and the country pork ribs followed up with the flan de naranja and chocolate cake. It was an absolute feast!!! I loved the pork ribs... the sauce makes you want to lick the plate clean it is soooooo good!!! From start to finish, it was excecuted brilliantly... we almost needed to be rolled out of the restaurant. They use lean protein sources, fresh herbs and vegetables and fruits along with fat mainly from plants, seeds and nuts to develop their recipes... California style. I had searched for a good flan and decided to try theirs even though it was zested with orange. As Julio had stated, it was delicious!! If you are looking for amazing food that in my opinion is super reasonable for the quantity and quality, than this is it, you won't be disappointed!! There is a reason they have existed so many years!

Visited this place on a Wed. evening after finding it on Yelp. Service was great, everyone exceptionally friendly. Everything from the salad, with grilled asparagus and strawberries, a mustard balsamic chicken entree, and banana bread pudding with a coconut cream glaze was incredible. This is likely my new favorite restaurant in the Rosarito area.

This place is AMAZING! The food is ON POINT and the service is even BETTER! They have an amazing staff there and of course great chef's! My wife and 2 other couples came down to Rosarito to celebrate my wife's birthday and we ALL loved our respective dish, keep doing what you're doing over there guys, it's working! I will definitely be back again! Also a huge shout out to our server JULIO! He was great and very attentive!...

This is my favorite restaurant in Rosarito as well as my favorite restaurant I've ever been to. I recommend Susanna's to anyone I know visiting Rosarito. My favorite dish is the ribs, although you really can't go wrong with anything you order because it will all blow you away! Susanna is an angel. She genuinely cares about her customers and always makes an effort to go above and beyond to make my family and I feel welcome in her restaurant. Her staff reflects her hospitable values as well as they are always such a pleasure to be served by. This restaurant is a must visit and it is definitely a place I will come back to for the rest of my life!

Excelente costumer service sussana the owner is always there making sure every meal is made to perfection. The stuff is super friendly great service. I had a tortilla soup it was to die for the Lamb dish and it was delicious never had a bad meal here everything on the menu I recommend 100% for got to mention the great selection of .

I loved this place the min we walked in. The staff were so inviting & the ambiance was great. I felt like I was at an aunt's house. Their set up was awesome!!! They had two outdoor tables & a "sala" (living room'room) set up w/tables in them. My bf & I were slightly hungover & their michelada set us straight. It was extremely delicious & def left a print on my test buds. Haha. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We order their jalapeño Cream Cheese Empanadas as a starter & they were pretty tasty. The sauce it came with complimented them so well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Salmon fettuccine- Unfortunately it was way too oily and lemony for my taste. I LOVE citrus of any sort, in any kind of dish. But it was over powering, the menu said it was prepared w/Garlic Butter with Lime & White Wine but I was just expecting something less oily & even just a bit creamy. Maybe that was my mistake. Even if I was into that there was nothing special about. My bf ordered the Filet Mignon- Grilled Sonora Filet Mignon topped with Herb Butter & served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Grilled Asparagus. It was delicious but the potatoes could have used some sauce or more milk. I would def come here again to try something different. Service was amazing and Im curious to see if theres anything else I'd fall in love w/on their menu.

Kind of a kitschy little spot hidden right off of the main strip. Service was very friendly and attentive. My kids loved the house cat hanging around the restaurant. We got a tour of the basement where they have their wine cellar and a roof for private parties 8-12 ppl, which was cool to see. Food was good, but some of the ingredients were just a bit weird, funny actually. I ordered the BBQ chicken and my 1/2 chicken came out doused in what looked like a chunky marinara sauce, but was, in fact, a house-made BBQ sauce that ate like a hybrid of tomato sauce and BBQ. The chicken was very tender and I ate the dish, but I literally laughed out loud as I ate it because it was so unusual.) My wife's asparagus salad was the same way, where everything was good, but it was just strange to eat asparagus and strawberries in the same bite (like, I'm not sure in what way the asparagus helped the dish to be better or how the dish helped the asparagus...it was just odd.) Still an enjoyable experience, though.

We used to come to Baja all the time before Covid but we have not been done in the last year. However, we decided to venture south from San Diego to the many places we love in Rosarito. But we had never been to this Gem of a place for a meal. Wow what we were missing all those many visits! This place is simply amazing, the food, service, atmosphere and quality of the whole experience was simply excellent. My wife and I were very impressed and this spot added even more smiles to our getaway. Even during Covid they make it safe, welcoming and memorable! Add this to your list for a wonderful place to dine. Don't wait as long as we did. You will love it too!

Delicious margaritas and tamales. We were served fresh baked bread as well... amazing! Will definitely be back

This is one of our families favorite restaurants. I love the atmosphere and the service is always excellent. The menu is large with many different choices. Since we've been going for years, I've been able to try many different dishes. Some of our favorites...sausage with grapes, pork chop with apple chutney, blue cheese pasta with chicken, cream cheese empanadas, pesto and mozzarella pizza and our favorite dessert is the minced meat sundae during the holidays- it's excellent!

Highly recommend. Susanna's has a unique atmosphere and menu. The entire interior is designed wonderfully to feel like a welcoming home. However, the menu is new and interesting. Not quite Mexican fare, not quite Italian, tons of fresh fruits and vegetables. You won't be disappointed, particularly if you're looking for a break from the same old menu items you see at all the standard US chain restaurants... Easily the best tortilla soup I've ever had.

We loved this place! Ambiance is amazing, food was great and the service was as well. Wife ordered swordfish and i ordered barbecue chicken and both were incredible. Our waiter was Julio and he was absolutely perfect. The whole evening was. We will absolutely be back. BTW, the taco place in front is the plaza is also awesome for lunch. I think it was called La Caretta. Anyhow, go to both of these.

Love love love this place! My family brought me here years ago and it's one of my favorite spots to come to when I'm in the area. Susana is a dear and her entire staff is AMAZING ! Julio has been our server many years and he is the absolute best. I've spent many bDay dinners here because I feel just at home . Treat yourself to a good experience. Cheers !

Hands down the best food in the area. Eat here all the time! Love the steak salad and the pasta and sausages! But hands down they have best tamales in the world. Just wish they were open on Tuesdays.

We stopped here after reading a few reviews and we were pleasantly surprised. After a few days of tacos, rice and beans we needed a change. We got the empanadas as an appetizer. Yummy. I had the Baja chicken and my husband had the salmon. Both were tasty, but on par with a normal US restaurant (as were the prices) , nothing crazy fancy. The flan for dessert was excellent as well and a huge portion. But best of all was the service. Everyone was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

7/14/17 Out down south trying to catch the last bit of the south swell. I yelped a couple different places to eat instead of the regular spots. Nothing bad with the street tacos but I wanted to have a good sit down. We started off with Jalapeños empanadas and susanas pizza. The jalapeño were light, hint of spicy and great lively sauce to accompany it. The susana pizza, was more like a caprese salad on top o a flat bread. It was decent. Sorry, we were also given bread warm, with olive spread and an onion spread. Those were both tasty and good before dinner came out. I had the Baja chicken and my dear had the salmon fettuccine. My chicken was moist, wrapped in cheese, avocado and tomatoes salsa on top. This was the perfect dish for me! My love's fish was perfectly cooked and very tasty. And the pasta was exactly what she was craving! The drinks are strong so heads up. The espresso was good too. Sorry y'all no dessert and no pics. We were too caught up in being in the moment. This is a great place and atmosphere is excellent! Our server spoke both in English and Spanish. We came a couple hours before closing and we stayed till past closing. They didn't rush us and they were very friendly giving us other off the beaten path places to check out away from the touristy crowds. The inside is decorated very unique, almost like the Friends coffee shop meets Harry Potter?! lol sorry, but if you come to Rosarito and you come here you'll know what I mean ;) So in the end, if you've had your fill of street tacos and want a a great sit down meal, definitely give this place a try!

I eat a lot of salads!!! We do high protein low carb so anywhere we go our menu choices are limited. We did indulge in a bite of bread with the complementary olive tamponade!! So delicious. Worth the cheat! Ordered the Mediterranean salad with Salmon! Seriously the best salad I have ever had! The flavor profile was out of this world! Service was the best! Attentive! Exceeded all expectations! Thank you Susanna for such an amazing restaurant!

Good eating,nice ambience, but definitely expensive,portions are a on the small size and that's always a bummer for me because if I'm gonna pay that much I want my belly to be full!

Some of the best food I've ever eaten! We walked over from Rosarito Beach Hotel for dinner and couldn't have been happier with the location. Nice ambiance, friendly/attentive staff, amazing food at good prices. The home made bread was phenomenal, as were the spreads that come with it. We ordered the jalepeno cream cheese empanadas to start. I had the cilantro pesto pasta with feta, and it was some of the best pesto I've had. Ryan had the blue cheese alfredo and was also more than pleased with his meal. We also did a drunk sundae with Kahlua and the dessert didn't disappoint either. Will eat here again any time we are in the area.

A must go to restaurant absolutely delicious we make the drive from LA just for this place!

we are at Sussanasenjoying another beatuful dining experience and beautiful atmosphere and the service is extraordinary!

Highly recommend the tamales for appetizer. Hubby had craft beer which was good and I ordered original margarita which was bomb! Nothing watered down. I ordered the pork ribs, the presentation was beautiful and it had a really great taste to it. My husband had the pork chop which he loved a lot. We ordered a bottle of Baron Balche wine that complimented our meal. We also ordered bread pudding which was amazing. So far the meals we have ordered have not been disappointing. The service was great too. Definitely will keep this place in mind nd next time e are in the area.

Highly recommend this place! My husband and I really enjoyed Susanna's. The ambiance is just beautiful. We had the bleu cheese fettuccini and the lamb. Beautiful presentation and just full of flavor. We made sure to save room for dessert, the spiced apple sundae. Definitely California style...

The owner of where we are staying recommend this place and it was amazing! All six of us had delicious meals. The ambiance is wonderful and the service is top notch. Highly highly recommend

We came to Susanna's for appetizers, and it was the best food we'd had during our stay in Rosarito. Their tamales are to die for, and their fresh bread with jalapeño, lime and chive spread is out of this world. Such a pleasant atmosphere, and our waitress was just lovely. If you are looking for great tasting food, don't miss this gem!

LOVE this place!!! Definitely my favorite restaurant in Rosarito. The asparagus salad is delicious

Thanks to a local, Ben who recommended Sussana's for dinner. We've visited the area many times and had not known about this amazing gem just steps away from the Rosarito Beach Hotel. To find Sussana's you turn off the main road, pass a water feature, a stone wall waterfall and the restaurant is on the left. It's a very inviting restaurant with a romantic ambiance. We were greeted and served by Julio. He was amazing. We sat in a cozy booth off to the side which offered views of the beautiful wine bottle features they've placed around the restaurant that adds privacy for diners and is pleasant to look at as an art installment. We started with the California bruschetta. Before this was served Julio brought us warm bread and olive tapenade and chive butter. This was so tasty, the tapenade was light and a great way to begin our meal. The bruschetta was good, a lot going on with the asparagus and other flavors. We ordered the asparagus salad and blue cheese fettuccini with shrimp and thinly sliced apples. Julio recommended a Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc blend from Valle de Guadalupe (Casa Magoni) It paired perfectly with our meal. Each dish offered amazing flavor yet was not overpowering. My favorite of the bruschetta, fettuccini and salad was probably the salad. It came with grilled asparagus, fresh strawberries, tomatoes that were bursting with sweet flavor, pine nuts, feta, on a bed of mixed greens. It was light and refreshing. We ended the meal with a slice of chocolate cake and two scoops of vanilla ice cream with a chocolate drizzle. Delicious. Julio informed us that Sussana will be opening a restaurant in Valle de Guadalupe offering small bites to pair with local wines. We'll definitely look for her when we visit the Valley again as well as returning to Sussana's in Rosarito during our next trip to the area.

Amazing food, great service, wonderful experience all around. Atmosphere is beautiful, try the tamales and empanadas. Best food of the trip

Best restaurant in Rosarito! Stayed at Festival Plaza over New Years because Rosarito Beach Hotel was sold out :(. This restaurant is maybe a 5 minute walk from both hotels. Great location in Rosarito. Menu, staff, ambiance was absolutely perfect. The owner gave us info on best wineries in Ensenada and other local attractions. Menu was full of fresh, quality local ingredients. We'll definitely be back :)

Love, love this place. Never disappoints. Celebrated my 50th and Susanna's was I my list. Staff is wonderful, food is delicious and vibe is quaint and charming. Thank you Susanna's!

Just tried this wonderful place with friends! The staff was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is lovely, but the food is fabulous! I had the Poblano Pasta with shrimp and it was delicious. Every dish the rest of our party ordered had a lovely presentation, and everyone really enjoyed their meal. They are even dog friendly, though the house cat wasn't thrilled. I would definitely go here again. They are opening another restaurant in Calle Guadalupe, which I'm sure will be great!
