“ We had an amazing experience at Splash, and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough, especially over the more touristy, overcrowded spots like Encanto and Los Portales, which are right next door. We actually started with the intention of eating at one of those two, but both had long waits, were packed, and just felt overpriced for what they were. After a less-than-great experience at each, we decided to give Splash a shot, and we are so glad we did! From the moment we sat down, the service was warm and attentive. The prices were super reasonable, and every dish we ordered was fresh and flavorful. But the real surprise? The views. Absolutely stunning oceanfront setting that made our lunch feel really special. It ended up being one of the most memorable meals of our trip. This place deserves way more attention than its flashier neighbors. We’re already looking forward to coming back next time we’re in Baja! ”
“ Came here after leaving another restaurant next door and immediately felt better with our choice. Menu was more extensive and service was attentive from the get go. Views are beautiful and drinks are good. Skip the viral places and come here. ”
“ Christian and Marco were our server and they were great. We got there a little close to closing time but they still have excellent service food was great and the place is just beautiful. Prices are also very good. My sister had a great time for her birthday. Definitely would recommend. ”
“ Great atmosphere, love the food, ambiance great, service great, you can even get splashed by the open waves if you want. Recommend go late afternoon, not as hot, and the live music hasn't gone into full party mode yet. Wait to long, and on the weekends it gets packed. Has indoor and outdoor seating, shade covers for the tables, and all the Mexican cuisine your senses can handle. The view of the sunset on the ocean, is the icing on the cake. Enjoy fellow gringos, enjoy. ”
“ We love Splash! Beautiful views, always great service and delicious food! Our server Marco today was exceptional! We always make sure to stop at Splash on our trips! ”
