One thing you can't miss on your visit to Rocky Point is the fresh seafood that you can find at Buzo Seafood. This place offers great service and food. My best favorite is the Jaleño del Diablo *The Devil's Jaleño* which is a plate based on fresh red tuna marinated in a special spicy sauce, with avocado and some chillis. You cannot miss their craft beer menu, I recommend trying San Blas Craft Beer!!
