all the ocean front restaurants in puerto nuevo are nice....ortega's would be a good choice.

Poco Cielo south of Puerto Nuevo, just north of La Fonda, is my favorite.

And the La Fonda restaurant is no slouch either. Great patio overlooking the ocean.

There's also Baja Calypso on the free highway across from the giant Christ statue. It's the orange building, but no obviious sign. It has an outdoor terrace on the bluff overlooking the ocean. It's not too far south of Calafia. Great for breakfast.

There's also Ruben's, further south at the Cantamar exit from the toll road. They recently moved into a renovated building next door to where they used to be.

Just have to chuckle a bit. I suppose that those folks living in BC want to enjoy food that is not Mexican. But most, if not all of the restaurants posted on here do not serve Mexican faire. So, day trippers, or weekenders headed South probably are doing so to eat Mexican food, instead of the steaks, wings and barbecue they could find NOB. Just saying.

I really like the baja style oysters rockafeller at Poco Cielo

At Bajamar you get Ceasar salad prepared table side old school style
BTW the show for Mexican Coffee prerperation is even better

Thanks.


Hey Ted-- It`s south of Roasrito Beach about 10 miles. If you know the area, it is north of Gaviotas, and basically across the street from Ollie`s (on the east side of free road). You have to access it going north. Look for the sign that says "Big Sale".
First time I went there I saw the sign too late so went past until I could turn around. Then back to Gaviotas to turn back north. A little tricky to enter. Look for a white "food wagon", that`s it.
I think it is $2 for a taco. Ask what is ready, order, kick back, pet the horses, go to the very interesting store (African baskets and antiques), and enjoy pulled pork tacos with coleslaw on top. Chicken and beef are great also!!

Ollie's is at KM 40.5 southbound on the free road. The BBQ place is across the street from Ollie's, northbound

bajaguy - 3-17-2016 at 05:49 AM

Eat a pizza and a caprese salad at Ollie's, go across the street and get some ribs to take home!!

The Lighthouse by Hotel La Mision has a good view.

Food and margaritas are so-so. Service is better if you are there for an event.
