Puerto Nuevo
 It
has been more than fifty years since this recipe’s tradition
started to develop. It was during the fifties when due to the
initiative of a fishermen group, it attracted the tourists for
fishing trips departing from the small village. Upon returning
from fishing, the wives cordially invited the visitors to take a
seat and enjoy the most common dish among the fishermen of that
zone: abundant and delicious lobster from this small village
coast, served according to local custom, with beans, rice and
flour tortillas. “Puerto Nuevo” lobster
became more popular within a short period of time, in such way
that new tourists arrive in a daily basis with the only purpose of
tasting the famous and exquisite the “Puerto Nuevo”
Style Lobster.
Currently, “Puerto Nuevo” is a
restaurant-oriented community, with more than 30 establishments,
located at 50 km [30 mi.] south of the city of
Tijuana, from
highway No. 1 (Transpeninsular) or by the scenic road to Ensenada
, exiting where the signal indicates the village, at a distance of
45 minutes approximately.
