Rosarito's Mexican Food #2 has served the Winter Gardens Blvd corridor in Lakeside from 9562 Winter Gardens Blvd since 1993, building a three-decade run on the family's original recipes for carne asada, fish tacos, and seafood plates. The breakfast-through-dinner operation shares the Winter Gardens commercial strip with Monserrate Pastries one block east, creating a morning-pastry-to-evening-burrito arc for the surrounding residential pockets. A 97-out-of-100 San Diego County health-inspection score backs a kitchen that handles raw-protein prep for carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas, and battered fish across separate stations. The fish-taco build uses a larger-than-standard fillet portion battered and fried to order, then topped with a house-made sweet-and-tangy white sauce, shredded cabbage, and pico de gallo — a format the restaurant has refined since its 1993 opening, drawing from the same East County grocery network anchored by Albertsons one block south on Winter Gardens Blvd. Each combo plate pairs a protein selection with Spanish rice cooked in a tomato-and-chicken-stock base alongside whole pinto beans simmered with lard and spices.
