Puerto Nuevo is a tiny fishing village south of Rosarito Beach and north of Ensenada where the residents have cleverly capitalized on a local lobster dinner tradition, with everyone and his relatives opening lobster restaurants on corners and rooftops. The story goes that Puerto Nuevo fisherwives made a meal of lobster, tortillas, rice and beans as a mainstay (makes sense) and word got out that the lobster in Puerto Neuvo was pretty good.
Today, you can get a lobster dinner and a beer in Puerto Nuevo for $12-15. Restaurateurs and enterprising kids will call out menus and prices as you wander or drive through the town's four streets anytime after noon. Pick one, any one, that has a few people inside (always a good sign) and tuck in.
