Fodor's Review:

Mediterranean bistro meets Baja California ingredients in this restaurant by Javier Plasencia and family, Tijuana's first family of restaurateurs. Romesco offers upscale Mediterranean decor and caters to affluent patrons who feel equally at home on either side of the border between the U.S. and Mexico. The varied menu starts with tomato Bruschetta and tender beef cheek tacos, continues with entrées such as lobster raviolis in brandy cream sauce and mesquite grilled duck breast, and ends with crepes in cajeta caramel. Romesco offers a full bar and the rare chance to taste some of the fine wines made in Baja California Norte, Mexico's premier wine country. Service can be leisurely to the point of lax; according to Mexican custom, diners must request the check when they are ready to leave.
