Isn't Puerto Nuevo style deep fried? Seems to me that a whole town with a bunch of restaurants grew on that style.


i'm just saying that isn't my favorite way to eat lobster. i can catch my own, or know who to get them from so i don't eat at PN....

Mood: Move on. It is just a chapter in the past, but don't close the book- just turn the page

anytime I went to PN, they always asked me if I wanted them fried or boiled; apparently a lot of Americans like them broiled or boiled.

Is La Fonda still in the habit of sneaking an extra entree on the bill? We have not been back for 3-4 years because the last three times we ate there they tried that trick at one breakfast sitting and two dinners.

Tunaeater...


Poco Cielo is our place of choice.
We normally stay at the Polynesian room, because of the large room and kitchen and especially the private deck.Their new rooms above the new bar area really look nice.
The Polynesian room we usually book for our anniversary. The rock shower is really incredible!
Food is outstanding...the chef has several of my recipes. (not that I'm blowing my own horn, because they already had great food, it just got enhanced a bit.

You have not had the POCO CIELO omelet for breakfast, or their fish en papillon, for dinner, willardguy. Their steamed clams are only second to Muelle Tres.

I remember buying live lobster from Ortega's place (upstairs) to take home and cook it our way.

1) Drop the bugs in boiling water to quickly kill them and cook the meat, anout 10-15 min. depending on size.

2) Split the bugs in half, apply butter, garlic and slide under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
