Puerto Nuevo hits a low: You Want Drugs With Your Lobster?
Years ago the hard part of Puerto Nuevo was finding a safe parking spot. Then it was hard to pick a restaurant to enjoy on your own with all the
Lonbter Pimps (cwcd) chasing after your car like dogs after a mail truck. Now the problem merchants are complaining about is tourists openly being
approached onthe street and being offered drugs. What's next- selling "panga rides"? Geeesh, again.

Then maybe they should quit hiring tweakers. It's no big secret. Drug tourists know that Puerto Nuevo is the place for one-stop
shopping. One restaurant specializes in cocaine, another high grade pot. The pharmacies compete on the price of Oxycontin. Everything's out in the
open. No one cares except now, apparently, the merchants.
Hypocrites.

I really had no idea street dealers were taking over Puerto Nuevo. I knew about the smuggling action at Popotla next door- but this surprised me.
On the Popotla topic- Ecos Rosarito says a group of tourists were herded into a Popotla restaurant and robbed. I haven't seen anything posted about
it yet. I'm sure if it happened to tourists eventually a tourist will write about the experience once they get home.
Tweekers Suck. I am seeing a second wave of it in my neighborhood too.

Street dealers aren't taking over anything. They don't have a stash. They get their drugs from the neighborhood restaurants and pharmacies.
No, not all the restaurants are involved. But every restaurant owner is aware of who is or isn't. That's why the complaints
blaming the "street barkers" is total BS.

Why aren't the Puerto Nuevo merchants and restaurants blaming the American and Canadian tourists for causing the demand for drugs there?

Always felt like I was being hustled every time I stopped from the entrance of the place to the table, With this added aspect I see no reason to stop.
I have noticed it's ben a long time since there was a parking lot full of tour buses.

I've been going to Puerto Nuevo for about 30+ years, and, so far, not one person or restaurant has offered to supply me with anything other than
lobsters. Never even seen a drug dealer, although I have seen a clandestine tequila sale.

I recommend Poptla instead. Better prices. Good lobster.
It was busy last Thursday. Went on a Sunday afternoon and they had no regular parking in the village.
Little bit of a challenge driving down the dirt road into the village with lots of traffic.

We have never had a problem either, and we were there last week. Usually go once every couple of months.

Ahh, Puerto Nuevo, what a great place. Frozen lobster and drugs that are probably counterfeit in one location.

I would NEED drugs to eat lobster these days in PN.
Those that do go, what is it that keeps you going back?
Have you ever bought live lobsters and cooked them yourselves?
For about the same money you can have a properly cooked legal size bug at La Cocedora de Langosta in Ensenada.

actually for LESS money, you can have the real live Maine lobsters delivered to you. I never got the attraction to this clawless, chewy distant
cousin of it- let alone them being out of season all tourist season (read frozen) and deep fried.

Vince's Fish Market and Restaurant
Three blocks or maybe slightly more north from the Rosarito Beach Hotel and on the same side of the street.
Fresh, LIVE, lobster. Everything on the menu is good.
