You are correct. The one in Rosarito near Express Tire is the only restaurant I know of in Baja that only serves a buffet for breakfast, lunch, and Dinner. Food is ok for the price.

A couple of years ago we left Mexicali early to go to Ensenada and were hungry when arriving at Popotla and went south on the libre to Puerto Nuevo at 11:30 AM and stopped at Villa Ortegas and had a monster bowl of fish ceviche and the 3 of us could hardly finish it, Very good ceviche.

that's it exactly! Simple. The Pacifico must be just to the right in a bucket of ice...

Although it's the traditional preparation here, I see no need to deep fry lobster. Most Puerto Nuevo joints will grill or steam your lobster if you ask. Whole fish and ceviche's are great too. Don't shortchange the Fish Tacos either. Months with an "R" are good.

Probably lots of places, but it should depend on the season.

Part of the problem.....or part of the solution. Choice is yours.

I have never seen fresh lobster in any of the supermakets or for that matter, no even in the Ensenada fish maket(Old Mercardo Negro).

I can't really say anymore it's been so long, Use to love the lobster tacos at La Bufadora when there was only the one restaurant. Also the view from the deck at the restaurant at La Fonda. My favorite place was Half Way House but that was many years ago.
