For a 2000Mx pesos meal for four people, this feels unfair, especially since rice and beans traditionally come with the dish. The tiny portions forced us to order more and pay extra. This is unfair for clientele that pays top dollar into a Mexican economy... off the flavor alone Don Luis has always been five stars. Other clients have warned us about this , and I don't like to see people being taken advantage of. Español: La comida es tan buena como siempre, y la langosta es de las mejores. Sin embargo, las porciones de arroz y frijoles ahora son muy pequeñas comparadas con antes. Para una cuenta de $2000 ppara cuatro personas, esto resulta injusto, sobre todo porque el arroz y los frijoles tradicionalmente vienen incluidos. Las porciones tan reducidas nos obligaron a pedir más y pagar de nuevo. Aún teniendo el dinero para pagarlo, es injusto. Hablando solamente del sabor don Luis siempre ha sido cinco estrellas. El suceso de las porciones ya se nos había mencionado por otros clientes, y no me gusta ver que se aprovechen los negocios de la gente que les paga.

There were also some watery beans and fresh tortillas that accompanied the meal. It was tasty. Not super exciting, but it was cool to finally try this style of lobster preparation. I also had a Margarita on the rocks... and it was as strong and refreshing. Service was fine. A mariachi band showed up in the room and they sang some songs. They played "Besame Mucho" for our table & when they were done, my dad handed them a $5, and the singer said, "Oh it is $10 per song." That was unexpected and would have been good to know beforehand.

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.

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.

My fellowship, a cluster of mere mortals with taste far keener than foresight, insisted we seek a place foretold in gustatory prophecy: La Cocedora de Langosta. I assented, though the sea had begun to speak again. A cruel trick of salt and memory. We arrived. The lobster was not served--it presented itself. Shell split like prophecy fulfilled, meat steaming with tales older than Atlantis. The ceviche? Lime and fire in perfect alchemy. It hissed in my mouth like the last words of a betrayed siren. A whole fish, fried until its soul ascended, left bones so clean they could be used in ritual. Angels wept; I salted accordingly. The risotto arrived next, not on a plate but in a chalice. Each bite stirred marrow and memory, comfort and command. My sea legs stood straighter. My resolve thickened. Libations flowed--freely, fervently, faultlessly. The chalice refilled itself (or perhaps the staff were trained in illusion and replenishment). Laughter, clinking glass, and something close to joy dared to rise. Staff were keen-eyed adepts, operating with the grace of trained familiars. The atmosphere carried hints of volcanic enchantment and citrus optimism. Barry the Brave Muffin Baker--my misguided nemesis-ally--might have found peace here. Or at least, a decent aioli. Verdict: A rare convergence of flesh, flavor, and fate. Five stars scorched upon the firmament by my hand. I may never return. But that's only because the enchantment forbade it.

This is the best lobster restaurant in Puerto Nuevo…read more The food is excellent. The lobster tastes fresh and is not overcooked. We ordered the large family tray, which feeds about 6 to 8 people. We also ordered additional lobsters to complement the platter, since it only comes with four lobsters cut in half. Their flour tortillas are some of the best. They are unlimited, along with rice and beans, and the servers keep them coming. The views are nice, and there is usually a parking attendant who helps you find parking nearby. The service is good, but be prepared to be pressured if you do not leave a generous tip. We left a 12% tip ($800 Pesos), which is standard in Mexico, and were still confronted. Keep in mind the standard daily wage in that area is around 300 pesos. The waiter told us we needed to leave 15 to 18 percent. We ended up leaving more only because the service was really good. Since I paid the bill and someone else in our group left the tip, they added more on top of what was already left. If it had been me, I would have taken the cash back and left NOTHING. This is way they get 4 stars and not 5! Tips are not obligatory. Servers receive wages, and they should be grateful for any additional gratuity guests choose to leave. Aside from that small incident, this is a great restaurant.
