In season?
Lobster season ended in march, didn't it? Is anyone still serving fresh?

Lobster Season in North Baja is OVER
The Puerto Nuevo restaurants keep operating on frozen lobster from down south. There have been many scandals/busts because they serve undersized
lobsters.
Vince's Restaurant in downtown Rosarito brings in fresh lobster from the fishing cooperativos that are taking catch legally.

Get off the toll road at the next exit south of Cantamar and continue south on free road. North of La Mision and south of sand dunes. Half way to
Ensenada from Tijuana, Media Camino in Spanish.

It's half way between Ensenada and TJ. I'll bet you can come real close with a map.
The restaurant kinda sits by itself with a large street side parking lot and a big water tank/tower on the south end.
You can't miss it.

From memory, it sits on the oceanside about K53+-. Take the next exit AFTER Cantamar (the area with the large sand dunes) and make a left then an
immediate right.

The first two photos of mine above were in 2006 and the next two were in 2010. I have many more, posted here on Nomad... use Search. But nothing brand
new.

David, Those Km markers are for Highway 1D
Not Hiighway 1 (the Free Road or Carreterra Libre TJ-Ens).
Km 53 is the correct address for the Halfway House since it is located on the Carreterra Libre, not 1D (the toll road). If you are on the toll road
you very well may pass by it at the 60 Km mark, but I am not going up there time soon to verify this.
Exit the Toll Rd. at the Cuenca Lechera sign and turn south, the Halfway House is about one half mile from the turn, on the ocean side of the Free
Road.
As was mentioned before, the place is clearly signed and has a large, easy to enter parking lot.
We haven't visited for a couple years, but from all indications, Chef Jonny is very happy doing his own thing there. I have heard that he travels a
lot giving cooking lessons in many places, including cruises.
