    Flor's daughter is doing a great job with the business. The food is still outstanding and the expansion of the dining area is great. The best fish taco on Earth, come here. Do youirself a favor, order ONLY the fish taco on a flour tortialla. Biggest handmade flour tortillas in captivity.

    Food was very good. We didn't realize flour tortillas are burrito size and corn are taco size. Service was great. Restaurant was clean. Nice and open dining. Will definitely be back.

    Fish taco on flour tortilla

    SEAFOOD TACOS Tacos in Mexico aren't small! This place was my first meal in Mexico ever. I've only been to Mexico three times in my life, first time was diving in Coronados Island - never touched land. The other two were back to back random trips - on land. After motor-crossing in the Baja Mountains all day, we came here for some eats before heading back to the border. You can imagine how hungry we were! It's a locals place with the traveling word to the tourists. Portions to price, excellent! Everyone's order "1 fish taco flour tortilla". In my mind, I assumed tacos in Mexico were all street taco size and thought to myself, we were MX'ing all day aren't people hungry? My order "1 fish taco flour tortilla, 1 shrimp taco corn tortilla". What came to me, a burrito sized fish taco and a street size and a half shrimp taco. "Jane, I forgot to tell you the flour tortillas are big." This place is a do-it-yourself add the extras. They had plastic Tupperware with fresh chopped tomatoes and onions. Tupperware of marinated purple onions. And another Tupperware of salsa. And a squirt bottle of sauce. The person who knows crap about Mexico (me) asks "why doesn't the pico de gala not have cilantro". The local laughed and said "that would be the color of our flag. No cilantro." RECOMMEND. FISH TACO - loved the fresh flour tortilla. I'd say that was one of the best fish tacos I've had. I'm usually not a fan of fish tacos at all but this one was really good. Nice light batter, very crunch, fish fillet was flavorful, moist, and flaky. It was a lot to eat I couldn't finish it and bagged it up for the border. SHRIMP TACO - served on the traditional corn tortilla and regular size and manageable to eat in one sitting. The corn tortilla was white I like the yellowish color we see in the US. Again, I'm usually not a fan of shrimp tacos but this shrimp taco was the best I've had. The shrimp was fresh and tasty without the strong shrimp taste and nice and crunchy. I liked this taco better than the fish taco. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Not sure how much they cost because i was treated but I'm sure it was no more than $1-$1.50 per taco. Good stuff! Until the next review...

    The Best place for Shrimp and fish ceviche. Fish tacos Baja style. I am sooo pleased I will highly recommend this place to you!!!! Besides customer services is amazing!!! Este lugar es uno de los mejores lugares para comer ceviche de pescado y de mariscos. También tacos de pescado tipo baja. Les recomiendo este lugar, aparte que el servicio es excelente!!!

    Nemo!?

    Seriously the best place to eat in between Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo. They have the best fish and shrimp tacos. Their carne asada is also amazing. The sides are fresh and the drinks are ice cold. You have to work a little to find parking, which is what I did as I was part of a three car caravan. I won't tell you how much me and my friends spent cause I don't want to wait a long time the next time I visit if you catch my drift. Let's just say Taco Tuesday's at Rubio's north of the border is much more expensive! I'll be back for sure if and when I visit Baja Mexico again. Muchas Gracias mi amigas!

    The best fish tacos!

    So good! The best fish tacos I have ever eaten. The reviews don't lie. You will not be disappointed.

    Cheery little stand along the free road in Cantamar (Primo Tapia)
    Denny B.

    My 700th review is dedicated to Flor and her daughters who own and operate the most delicious seafood stand in Baja California. It is located just south on the free (libre) road that goes from Rosarito Beach to Ensenada. From the toll (cuota) road you take the Cantamar (Primo Tapia) exit at marker KM53 and go two blocks south. I have been enjoying Flor's fish tacos for over 20 years. Light and crispy batter is put on fresh fish and fried so fast and hot that it doesn't get greasy or oily. Light and airy. At the same time, handmade masa is rolled and flattened and then put on a very hot flat top to make that beautiful flour tortilla in the picture. It is almost crepe-like in texture, with tasty little burn marks. You get to dress up your taco with all the things that Flor has prepared such as shredded cabbage, crema, salsa fresca (cruda), marinated sliced white onions, salsa picante and limon (lime). You cannot find a piece of fish in a fish taco this large anywhere along the coast of Baja California. This is the king of the fish tacos. One fish taco this size is $2. Two is a lot to eat. I always have two. Flor also has shrimp cocktails, ceviche, caldo de siete mares and many other mariscos on the menu. Only soft drinks are here, but there is a beer distributor across the street. Cantamar (Primo Tapia) is about 11 miles south of downtown Rosarito Beach along the ocean. It has some of the best local restaurants without the crowds, noise and bad behavior of the low-life tourists in Rosarito Beach.

    New remodel at our favorite fish taco spot in Baja.

We usually ask to sit on the ocean view The moment you sit down, they welcome you with a warm, savory tortilla soup that feels like a hug inside your tummy! Honestly I could have sipped on that all day! But then the real star arrives... The lobster! It's deep fried in butter, it's so delicious that you feel like singing a love song with every bite! 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! La Casa del Pescasor is the place! 10 out of 10 recommended!

I called him and finally someone answered his phone and said he's down the street unconscious. He doesn't remember anything but all his stuff was gone and he had head trauma which was from getting robbed. By the looks of it he was hit in the back of the head and a black eye and his ear was damaged. His wallet was empty but they left his ID, his Meta glasses, watch, wedding ring and Hat were gone. This is not a safe place to visit. One of the vendors next to the restaurant did several transactions on my husbands card until there was no more money.

    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.

We notified them they did them again. Still same. Then we consumed about $8,000 pesos. We asked for boxes and they gave us 3. Then we asked for more because honestly we weren't going to eat the food. Then one lady told us we can't give you anymore. I told her charge us for the containers if you need to. I have came here previously because we were recommended and it has been good before. This will be the last time we will be here. I am a special needs mom and always look for options for my children. They should better their service and be more helpful. We just decided to put food in containers and to the people in the street. So it wont go to waste
