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.

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.

Now let's talk about the freshly made flour tortillas! They're soft, buttery and the taste is just perfect! I swear I could have eaten a whole stack of them on their own! NO SHAME! It also comes with two generous bowls of rice and refried beans!! A full feast of delicious flavors and aromas! Everything just works together like it was meant to be! This is definitely comfort food at its best! The conclusion: If you want delicious food, good vibes and a meal that will make your taste bud sing with delight!

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.
