Puerto Nuevo Style Lobster - North of the border

Looking for authentic Puerto Nuevo Style Lobster, as close to the real thing without the trip across the border. I'm looking for the flash-fried lobster, melted butter, homemade chewy tortillas. Please... where can I find this?

    My husband swears by the best tail in town in old town. Great baja lobster plate.

      Do you mean Rockin' Baja Lobster? I went just once and was disappointed.

      Anyone remember Newport Annie's in Mission Beach (where Guava Beach is now)? That place was great.

      I think Ortega's in Hillcrest is your best bet on this side of the border.

        Dang...I remember Newport Annie's and it is sorely missed.
