About

La Negrita Restaurante is a beloved favorite in Rocky Point that belongs on every visitor’s must-try list. This welcoming spot serves up classic Mexican flavors with unbeatable freshness—and it’s happily back in its original location right in the heart of town.


Location & Environment

Tucked in the center of Rocky Point, just a few blocks east of Blvd. Juárez, La Negrita sits away from the busy Malecon yet draws locals and tourists alike who call it one of the best restaurants in town. Many have happily followed the restaurant to its new (original) home on Calle Comonfort, between Cuauhtémoc and Ave. Juan de la Barrera.


The easiest way to find it? Turn off Blvd. Juárez at the CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) corner. The cozy space works perfectly for intimate dinners or lively groups, with indoor seating to stay cool when the patio heats up. Expect friendly, smiling service that makes every visit feel special.


Must Try Food at La Negrita

La Negrita shines with incredible seafood, making it a go-to for lovers of fresh ocean flavors. It’s also vegan-friendly, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that cater beautifully to plant-based diets.


Here’s what not to miss:

Seafood Bar

Listed as “Barra de Mariscos,” these generous square plates deliver a little taste of everything in vibrant ceviche style. Try the Campechana Seca—packed with shrimp, octopus (pulpo), prawns, and more.


Volcanes

One of the most delicious and photogenic dishes in Rocky Point! These sizzling creations arrive in a volcanic rock bowl. Choose from vegan, shrimp, chicken, or other options. The 7 Mares (Seven Seas) is a standout, offering the ultimate mix of fresh seafood.


Mexican Favorites

Beyond standout seafood, the menu covers all the classics non-seafood fans crave: quesadillas, chimichangas, flautas, sopas, huaraches, and more. You’ll even find hamburgers and pizzas.


Desayuno (Breakfast)

Morning visitors enjoy a generous selection of traditional Mexican breakfasts like huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and enchiladas, plus omelettes and pancakes.
