Came for Nana's birthday, left with a new Puerto Nuevo favorite!…read more Everyone on TikTok seems to say "Go to Ortega's!" when talking about Puerto Nuevo, but last time we went it was just okay and a little pricey (making the fam shuffle to put pesos together since it was cash only). We were celebrating my Nana's birthday and had a bigger group than usual, so I started looking around on yelp for other options. There are SO many little lobster restaurants along this street, but this place had good reviews, the pictures looked good, so we figured- why not try something new? And I'm SO glad we did. Actually, before we even got there, all the restaurant promoters were trying to get us into their places and asking where we were headed. Every time we said this restaurant, they were like, "Oh yeah, that's a really good place!" I'm sorry, but when the people trying to steal your business are ALSO admitting the place you're going to is good... I'm listening. We got in, immediately got a table, and they brought out chips, salsa AND fresh ceviche. Ceviche is one of my favorite foods, so at that point they basically had me. Then the food came out and the whole family was happy. The lobster was amazing, the tortillas were fresh, the rice and beans tasted like Nana made them herself, and the drinks were PHENOMENAL. Everything was flavorful and fresh, and we all had such a good time. What I really loved about this place is that it reminded me why sometimes the little local spots are better than the big, famous ones. You don't always need the biggest restaurant, the most viral TikTok, or the place with the best-known view to have an amazing meal. Sometimes you just have to look around and give one of the smaller places a chance. And this one absolutely delivered. The restaurant itself is quite a bit smaller than Ortega's, and you do have to walk up a few stairs, but nothing crazy at all. I actually liked the smaller, more intimate feel. And when we were walking out of the restaurant we say them preparing all kinds of ceviches and other dishes right there. We saw several things we hadn't tried before and immediately started making a mental list of what we want to order next time. This wasn't just a one-time birthday dinner either -- I've already come back since her birthday, and now this is the place I recommend when anyone asks me where they should eat in Puerto Nuevo. So TikTok can keep telling everyone to go to Ortega's. Me and the real foodies are happily enjoying this little spot instead. 10/10. Nana-approved. Family-approved. Ceviche-approved. Can't wait to go back again

We found this spot on Yelp, after looking through other reviews and comparing them to other spots…read morein the area. We were also welcomed by someone promoting this restaurant on the street/inviting people to check out the food. I realized later that they also have a downstairs bar and restaurant (you can also preview the seafood selections from the cart). We opted to eat upstairs since they had a bit of a view with a more open seating area. Only about 3 tables have the view of the water/beach, while the rest of the tables are either on the side overlooking the street, in the middle of the restaurant, or on the side where you can kind of see the view. They also have a nice photo opp/background also on one of the sides facing the water view. We were welcomed and seated and got to check out the different sized lobster options (this was what immediately drew us to this spot initially). We were greeted with complementary chips, salsa, pico de gallo, and ceviche. It was a nice welcome surprise. We got an order of 3 medium lobsters and an order of garlic shrimp. We also got a bottle of Tecate and a Carajillo cocktail. One of the neighboring areas had a mariachi band serenading different tables in their outdoor restaurant area. And that provided a lot of entertainment for our seafood feast. We also had other musicians come through our restaurant to try to serenade us, but nobody seemed to want to fork over any money. The drinks came pretty quickly and even though I'm not big on beer, the chilled bottle just somehow made sense and tasted a lot better. The Carajillo was tasty and served with an orange slice. I felt like it was the perfect combination to the coffee forward cocktail. The Appetizer was delicious, although I'm not big on any spicy items, the salsa was good in small doses. The ceviche and pico de gallo were super fresh, as were the tortilla chips. When we got the main courses, they came out rather quickly. They were split and halved. Same with the shrimp. These dishes were also served with an order of beans with rice, freshlu made flour tortillas, as well as a side of butter dipping sauce. The food was extremely fresh and came out rather quickly. Our server seemed to be a bit attentive and check on us a couple of times. When we finished, we ended up getting 1 homemade flan to share and another Carajillo to pair. The drink was just as good as the first one and prepared similarly. The flan was tasty, just a bit on the sweet side for me. It was the waiting that kinda got to me. It wasn't that they forgot about us, but that we were probably waiting around for a bit before the server came back to check on us. We may have waited an extra 10 minutes before we got the check, paid, and left. Food and drinks: 5 stars Service: 4 stars (courteous and respectful, just bit less attentive than we would've hoped for.

When you get to Rosarita's famous Puerto Nuevo "New Port" you're immediately hit with a variety of…read moresights and smells, mainly the smell of cooked or roasted lobster which is like heaven. I first ventured to Don Luis as a recommendation from our cab driver and loved it. First, they gave our group additional food and second, they gave us all a free shot of tequila. More important, there isn't an hour wait as there is with the more famous restaurants here. The food here is excellent, which is the most important thing. You can order shrimp combinations with a small lobster, but make sure you order lobster here otherwise what's the point in coming? I've gotten the large lobster both times, which is served with salad, rice, beans, and fresh made flour tortillas which are incredible. All this for about $25, it's a great deal and worth traveling for. Taking an Uber from Tijuana border costs about $25 one way, which is a bargain as it's about a 45 minute ride. Awesome food and would highly recommend. Will be back again for sure.

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.

Hi. White lady here who will kill for a good menudo…read more I had it on good advice that this was the right thing to order here, and so, of course, I did. And, of course, I ordered it with pata (the pig's foot that turns into a glutenous bone-lollipop that needs to be picked up with your fingers and lovingly slurped until clean). That makes it authentico and magnificent beyond words. The broth is rich in flavor and red in color. The tripe is very tender and well cleaned. A judicious amount of hominy. And here they bring a separate dish containing dried oregano, chopped onions and cilantro, chile flakes, and limes. Rub the oregano between your palms, then add copious amounts of all of the above, let the onion simmer for just a moment, then dig in. Within moments you will find yourself so preoccupied you will forget how to speak. Good stuff and plenty of it. Mr. B wanted shrimp in garlic butter (mojo de ajo). He was envious of my shrimp from the night before at Ruben's, but it paled in comparison. Too bad. The refried beans, now that was another story. So wonderful. It's the lard, baby, lard. The Mexican hot chocolate was yummy. The chips and salsa? Meh. Save room in your stomach for the soft, hot tortillas that come later. You can use US dollars here, and the wifi is free. Just ask for the password. I don't need the excuse of a hangover to come here for menudo.
