We got seated right away and started with margaritas which were fine. The first on seemed watered down, the second round was better. Chips and salsa were standard. We went with shrimp and tacos. We had the coconut shrimp and shrimp ranchero. Both were good, the rancheros has a kick with sliced jalapeno peppers. The tacos were basic, nothing to write home about. Service was OK, about what you'd expect for a place like this.

There's so much seating, so it feels open and relaxed even when it's busy. It's one of those places where you immediately want to grab your phone and take a few photos. The food is still just as delicious as I remember, and the service is unmatched. Everyone is attentive without hovering and you feel really taken care of. 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.

Our waiter Max went above and beyond he made our experience memorable and incredible. The food honestly reminded me of how my mom used to cook especially the Chile Relleno. The portions are huge and the drinks are just the same. I recommend sitting outside and soaking in the ocean mist and I bet you'll find out why it's called splash. Overall it was a delicious meal and incredible experience.

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've had the pleasure of visiting, living and vacationing in every major area of Mexico so I've stayed at the very best and the $12 USD rooms lol The check in was very simple and the young lady checking us in was super helpful. Realizing I had a teenager with me she answered the important question upfront and gave her the WiFi password immediately lol I came to Bobby's by the Sea with my Inlaws, wife and my daughters )18 and 3 years old) We ended up with the 2 bedroom each with their own individual bathrooms and shower. There was a full size kitchen and large sitting area and decent TV. The wrap around balcony was worth every single penny. You could look out over the ocean which is about a 250 yard walk from the resort. The rooms were clean, well organized and decorated very nicely. Room service is kinda hit or miss as they tend to knock once or twice and do not come in the room without you opening the door which is actually not a bad thing. The walls are pretty good at blocking out noise from neighbors and the large ocean facing windows are so beautiful to wake up to. There are two pools located in the property which was nice. Both have a jacuzzi and a nice size pool attached. There is also a small cabana area near the ocean view pool with an above ground jacuzzi which is nice but we did not use it so I'm not too sure if it works. There is a small artificial turf area where you can putt around with or hit balls in the ocean with a few left over clubs probably found in an old garage or floating in the ocean lol The restaurant is a decent with enough food on the menu to please my picky family for the 5 days we were there. Most plates ranging from $8-$17 US. There is also a small workout area upstairs above the check in lobby. It has a couple spin bikes, weight rack, a seated bike and a treadmill. I used it every morning around 0600am and had no problem getting in. The bonus was the ocean view up there as well. The Friday/Saturday "loud" music some Yelpers complained of was nothing to bad. There was a decent mix of music and it truly does shut down around 1015-ish pm. Bobby's has potential and is truly closer to a 3 star based on the incomplete feeling you get from walking around the grounds but the great customer service and fact that you can see the ocean bumps it to a 4 Star. The properties on either side are terrible on the eyes but they cant do much about that. If this property is around in another 5-10 years I know I will have been fortunate enough to see how much it has changed from its early days. I will definitely be back soon and will enjoy being a part of the process from here on out.

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.

Was just at Ortega's Puerto Nuevo this past weekend. Prices were definitely $$$ compared to other…read morespots in the area, and honestly, the lobster was just okay. 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.
