Romesco Mexiterranean Bistro in Bonita blends Mediterranean technique with Baja Mexican recipes on Bonita Road, a fusion concept founded in 2005 by the Grupo Plascencia restaurant family. The bistro anchors a stretch of Bonita Road near Bonita Golf Course, offering a private dining room, full bar, and outdoor patio that serve the area's date-night and post-round dining traffic. Grupo Plascencia operates five additional restaurants across Tijuana — including Caesar's, the 1920s-era establishment where the Caesar salad was invented — making Romesco the family's sole United States location. The tapas menu rotates seasonal small plates — charred octopus, bacon-wrapped dates, lamb sliders — designed for shared grazing alongside a wine list sourced from both Baja and Spanish regions. The off-site catering program packages the bistro's tapas and plated entrée formats for private events across Chula Vista, tapping the same celebration-driven market that fills The Venue at Eastlake's weekend calendar. The signature Baja lobster entrée pairs a split cold-water tail with romesco sauce — the Catalan pepper-and-almond emulsion that inspired the restaurant's name — served over saffron-infused Spanish rice.
