Rosarito Beach is easily accessed via a toll road that runs along the Pacific Ocean. The drive around Tijuana can be daunting. Follow the signs on the freeway, but be careful the signs usually appear only at the turnoffs. Don't expect any notices before the turnoffs.
When returning there is an unmarked u-turn in Tijuana you need to take to get back to the states. It's at an interchange next to a Pemex station. Look for a line of cars with American plates making a u-turn.
If you don't want to drive in, there are buses from Tijuana.
For about $15 you can take a taxi to Rosarito. Some Taxi Drivers may charge more but $15 was the price I got
There are 2 roads to Rosarito
The Toll Road is much easier and fast on getting to Rosarito

The whole tourist industry lies on Benito Juarez, the main street in town. There's plenty of taxis as well. You're never without friends or drinking buddies as long as you have cash.
La Flor de Michoacan, on the north side of town on Benito Juarez, has a well-deserved reputation with tourists and locals alike. This restaurant is known for its carnitas (simmered and fried pork) dinners served family style with rice, beans, pico de gallo, fresh guacamole, and steaming, fresh tortillas wrapped in cloth and served in a basket. The restaurant also has a full bar and serves margaritas made with real strawberries. Carnitas plates are served two different ways. Mixed pork includes tripe and other pieces many do not find appetizing. If this is you, shell out the extra couple dollars and get the solid pork. You'll be hard-pressed to spend more than $10 a person, even with a pitcher or two of margaritas. The building is hard to miss, an imposing brick structure on a corner with a stop sign. Look for the word "CARNITAS" on top.
For a big club experience, check out Papas & Beer[http://rosarito.papasandbeer.com/]. Papas & Beer is a large club in the heart of Rosarito. Although the drinks are overpriced for the area they are cheap compared to US prices. There's usually a cover, and sometimes a line, but the positive side is that if you are looking to dance, meet new people and have some cervezas, you will find what you are looking for here.
The bad aside, Rosarito Beach lies right on the Gold Coast and it is called the Gold Coast for a good reason! Along some spots on the coast, there are surfing meccas as well as stunning vantage points. The classic Mexican sunset closes the deal and the Baja California remains one of the best places to get away for the weekend for residents of San Diego!

Rosarito Beach Hotel: Built in 1925, this classic establishment is perfect for younger couples looking to have a great time in Rosarito. It has multiple pools and jacuzzis, and is situated right on the beach. There are numerous restaurants and bars in the hotel, and guests are given vouchers upon check-in so that they may enjoy a certain amount of free meals and drinks. If tranquility and relaxation are what you have in mind, this is not the place for you. Due to the fact that it is centrally located amongst Rosarito's downtown area on Benito Juarez, the music from the clubs is audible until 4 AM, and the bass will shake the hotel, making it hard for those guests who are not out partying to fall asleep. If you are looking to go clubbin, let loose, and catch some sun during the day, however, this is the place for you.
