Founded in 1985 by Gaston Rochin, The Friendly Dolphin Restaurant has been a Rocky Point family tradition for nearly 25 years, giving proof of the great taste of its cuisine and the friendly service provided by the staff. It has become a place to share both our tradition of flavorful seafood from the Sea of Cortez and typical Mexican cuisine served in a festive atmosphere with your friends and family.

The decoration of each of its four areas creates an ambiance that makes its clients feel like at home, always being welcomed by Gaston Rochin and his family. Oh!! And do not be surprised if all of the sudden you see Don Gaston accompanied by the mariachi singing a song for his friends, one of those songs that really gets to your heart.

The Friendly Dolphin operates in Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) Mexico, located along the north shore of the Sea of Cortez only 200 miles (322 km) southwest of Phoenix and about the same distance west of Tucson.

Our purpose is simply to provide great tasting, high quality food and beverages in a fun and friendly atmosphere for people who crave a quality dining experience. We use only the best ingredients to bring you a high quality taste.

True to tradition and an innovator of new tastes, The Friendly Dolphin Restaurant is the seafood and Mexican food original, a legend since 1985.
