With a massive turnout and more than 30 stands from local cafés offering a wide variety of food, drinks, and desserts, the fourth edition of Café en el Mar (Coffee By the Sea) was held in the iconic Gardens of the Rosarito Beach Hotel.

The event was organized by Rosarito’s National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (CANIRAC).

The goal of the event is to highlight the city’s coffee shops. This year’s success even attracted some cafés from Tijuana, which added to the event’s significance.

According to Octavio Machado, president of the chamber, the event drew in an estimated 2,000 visitors over the course of the day.

One of the main attractions was the live music, featuring performances by singer Jonathan Brito and the band Kolao, who kept the crowd entertained with their energy and talent.

Another highlight was the highly anticipated Latte Art Contest, which gathered the best baristas from the region. They showcased their artistic skills, captivating attendees with stunning designs in every cup.

This family-friendly culinary event has exceeded expectations, establishing itself as a major cultural and family-oriented occasion in the region.
