There's so much seating, so it feels open and relaxed even when it's busy. It's one of those places where you immediately want to grab your phone and take a few photos. The food is still just as delicious as I remember, and the service is unmatched. Everyone is attentive without hovering and you feel really taken care of. Honestly, it's worth stopping in even if you just go for a drink and soak in the scenery. Great cocktails, stunning backdrop, and such a good overall vibe. I'll definitely keep coming back.

I recently visited Encanto in Ensenada and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more When the bill arrived, I noticed that one of my dishes was priced incorrectly. I politely pointed it out to our server, Daniel, expecting it to be corrected. Instead, he casually dismissed it and said, "It's only 100 pesos more," which I found unprofessional and disrespectful. It's not about the amount it's about accuracy and customer service. Because of this interaction, I decided to remove the $20 tip I had initially left. When I did, he took the receipt to his manager and claimed that I hadn't tipped at all. I explained the situation, but he responded with a smirk, which felt mocking and made the situation even more uncomfortable. Additionally, the service overall was slow. We asked for water multiple times before ordering, during the meal, and even after finishing and it still took a long time for it to arrive. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, despite the setting. I hope management takes this kind of behavior seriously and works on improving both service quality and professionalism.

If you're nearby you have to come. If you're far away, it's worth the trip...

Every bite tasted clean, sweet, and perfectly prepared. The service was just as impressive. Our server, Jaime, was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful, guiding us through the menu and making sure everything was spot on. A pro tip: sit upstairs if you can--the sweeping Pacific Ocean views make the experience even more memorable. We ordered the large lobster platter and the garlic octopus and shrimp platter, and both were outstanding. Portions are generous, making this a great place to come hungry. On top of that, they bring out complimentary ceviche, picante, and salsa fresca, which were fresh, vibrant, and the perfect way to kick things off. Between the quality of the seafood, the warm service, and the unbeatable ocean views, this spot is a must when you're in the area. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm anywhere near Puerto Nuevo.

The restaurant is really aesthetically pleasing with plenty of Instagram worth spots to take pictures. The service is pretty good and they're quick with clearing the table and bringing out the drinks. The food is just OK for the price. We ordered aguachile, bacon wrapped shrimp, the mixed plate, and chimichurri shrimp. The flavor of the aguachile was good, but it was odd that there was a mix of jumbo shrimp and regular sized shrimp. It also didn't seem like they allowed the shrimp to "cook" in the lime. I also wasn't a fan of how chunky the cucumber was cut. The bacon wrapped shrimp was good as well. The chimichurri shrimp was more like shrimp in butter. The mixed plate was decent, but only came with a little bit of salsa. The portions of the octopus were pretty big (unappealing to some). The drinks were great though! We'd likely come back just for drinks!

After coming here for 25 years I can't believe I am just now writing a review. That being said,…read moredecades ago this review would have been a strong 5 stars but now we are teetering on a high three, low four. The pricing has become ridiculous for this little lobster village. You're no longer getting a deal but you're paying for the view, the vibe, and the fact that you pinch yourself and say to yourself, "I'm only about an hour from home." Now that's pretty cool. The lobster still holds up and when dipped in the clarified butter with those homemade tortillas and refried beans/rice, you have to simply savor the moment. It's delicious. Grab a cold Tecate, a shot of tequila, and enjoy the view. It's so uniquely Baja.

Not bad--but not what you'd expect for the price. The view is nice, but service was slow. Ironically, the best parts of the experience were the valet and the fresh tortillas--not the lobster itself. Overall, if you're coming to Puerto Nuevo for great lobster, I'd recommend trying somewhere else.
