Roma Norte

This is such a beautiful place with creative cocktails, wonderful concept, and amazing service! A special shoutout to all the people that took care of us, they really went an extra mile to make sure we picked cocktails that we’d enjoy. In addition to cocktails, they also offer tacos on Tuesdays, which looked really good.

It’s hard to say no to a good cocktail lounge, and it’s important you remember why I called it that as I continue. While the exterior signage was rather modest and therefore a little hard to find, once you’re settled in to this dimly lit but elegant lounge, you’re all set for your cocktail adventure. Our server did an excellent job introducing us to the lounge’s specialities and offered recommendations for us to try. I wish I remembered her name since was very knowledgeable and we loved her vibrant personality! The wait was not too bad, especially when you’re with good company. The cocktails were delightfully crafted and perfectly balanced; I wish I had the liver to try them all! The food, while delicious, were smaller portions and I thought were a little pricey. That being said, they are

Roma Norte in San Diego is an absolute gem, offering some of the most exquisitely crafted cocktails I’ve ever experienced. Every drink on their menu is executed with such precision and attention to detail that it’s hard to pick a favorite. The "Fit Old Fashioned" is truly in a league of its own—a masterful blend of flavors that takes this classic cocktail to another level. If you're a fan of Cuba Libre, Roma Norte’s version will blow you away; it’s unlike anything you’ve ever tasted before, elevating the drink with unique twists. A standout surprise for me was their "Sex on the Beach." Typically, this cocktail is overly sweet for my taste, but Roma Norte has perfected it, balancing the flavors in a way that makes it incredibly refreshing and enjoyable—by far the best I’ve had!

Blown away by their selection of innovative, creative cocktails! 🍸 Must try the Rum & Coke (house made cola, milk-washed Bacardi 8 & Banks 7 rums, clarified lime cordial) or the Mango Milk Punch (El Tequileño reposado tequila, mango, lime, clarified with milk)… Fun atmosphere at this 2025 semi-finalist for Best New Bar by the James Beard Awards. “Inspired by the vibrant cocktail culture of Mexico City’s Roma Norte neighborhood, Roma Norte promises a technique driven cocktail experience paired with light, refreshing Mexico City-inspired bites.” 🇲🇽

Phong was a really cheerful, knowledgeable and affable bartender who chatted with me about raicilla and let me taste a delicious one they had on the top shelf. He's the man. The bar is really beautiful, elegant and tastefully done. Dark and vibey. Wish they'd stick to playing Latin/Mexican music- would really complete the effect. The service is great. You get a hot towel brought to you as soon as you sit. A really nice refreshing touch. The homemade chips with lime were 🔥 Highly recommend Roma Norte.
