Nice and quiet atmosphere. There were 4 people in our party. Singers are available and paid via tip but will leave you alone if you turn down the service. Nice view of the ocean. I ordered costa azul (bacon wrapped shrimp) and it was great. The tortillas were absolutely amazing. Great spot to meet with friends or family.

While taking a road trip to Mexico, I stumbled upon an amazing seafood restaurant called Angel Del Mar—and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to help with recommendations, which made the experience even better. The menu offered a great variety of seafood dishes, and everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The prices were surprisingly affordable, especially considering the quality of the food. It felt like a hidden gem that locals probably love and travelers are lucky to discover. This place easily ranks as one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve ever visited. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking to try something new, Angel Del Mar is absolutely worth the stop. Whenever I’m in the area again, there’s no question—I’ll be coming back.

Very authentic family restaurant! All the seafood items are super delicious and fresh. Friendly vibe with live music, spacious dining area and the fantastic ocean view, everything is amazing. Parking could be a bit tricky. Also they accept cash only. (We didn't know that so my husband had to fetch some cash from the nearby atm)

I would have to say this is one of the top places I've eaten at. The halibut fish just melts in your mouth. Everything was fresh. The top 2 places of oysters I've eaten. Hand-made tortillas were amazing. All the food was amazing. The drinks were good and the service was great. I am already planning on when I can return and have been telling everyone they need to try this place out. It's definitely worth the 3 hour drive for us.

Be careful if you pay with any type credit card, owner is the one who charges at the entrance and types in extra amount on tab excusing himself that it is due to your bank, but does not states anywhere in the menu nor signs that you will be charge extra so I considered it like theft. Me outside took picture of us claiming it we were the problem

Awesome deal $18 Lobster, Rice and Beans served with some fresh Tortilla plus one Margarita or Teqila Shot! We added Oyster which was a great addition to the meal. Beautiful view of the ocean.

Seafood Combination: Half Lobster, Shrimp Scampi, and Garlic Fish served with Steamed Vegetables, Butter, Yellow Rice, Refried Beans and Flour Tortillas. The atmosphere in this place was fun and lively. A live moving band took requests from patrons and the ocean crashed all around the outdoor space. Unfortunately we didn't have the best view of the ocean since the sills were covered up with tarp, perhaps because of rain? Our waiter was attentive and we were served very quickly. The margarita wasn't great, but not bad either. I really enjoyed the Calamar Empanizado, Fried and Battered Squid, with ranch and lemon juice, especially because it came in long sticks that reminded me of mozarella sticks instead of the stereotypical round tubes. The texture and flavor was spot on! The Camarones Costa Azul, Shrimp stuffed with Lobster, wrapped in Bacon and Fried in batter with a sweet sauce, was also absolutely incredible! I ordered the Seafood Combo and was pleased with the Lobster and Garlic Fish, which was super tender, but the shrimp were just okay and the steamed vegetables were disgusting. I don't understand why they would serve such poorly prepared vegetables that looked and tasted like a freezer pack of a California Veggie Mix when there's an abundance of fresh produce in Mexico? Overall we enjoyed dining at this restaurant while vacationing in the area, but it wasn't the best.

The view is beautiful. We came here for langostas. They were really good but a bit overcooked. They were also on the smaller side. You get 2 lobsters so 4 halves served with rice and beans. My hubby opted for the Asada plate which he enjoyed. The location is all the way down at the end of the main street. It was not crowded as other places which I can only assume is because of the location. A tip - there is a Banda playing music and they play at your table. If you request a song, just note it is $20 per song. The music was good but limit your selections, we learned the hard way and requested 4 songs!

They told us they don't have lobster special so we just went to Poseidon. Could be cause we're tourists, but it's fine. Poseidon had better views ( panoramic view of ocean) so it worked out.

Years ago, I visited this place. I brought my parents with me this time, and nothing has changed here. The shrimp and lobster were absolutely mouthwatering! The service was quick and amiable. The setting, with its breathtaking ocean view, was absolutely stunning. Any time I am in Rosarito, I will be sure to drive and stop by. Hace años visité este lugar. Esta vez traje a mis padres conmigo y nada ha cambiado aquí. ¡Los camarones y la langosta eran absolutamente deliciosos! El servicio fue rápido y amable. El entorno, con su impresionante vista al mar, era absolutamente impresionante. Cada vez que estoy en Rosarito, me aseguro de pasar por aquí.

No recomiendo para nada este lugar!! El servicio es pésimo y las langostas son una burla. Yo preferi irme sin comer; y ir al Lugar de las brisas. El mesero aquí no me explico bien los platillos; pues tampoco tenía ganas de atender y ordené un plato que daba lástima, pero el me dijo que así era el plato. Discúlpame pero yo no trabajo allí; y tiene que explicar que la langosta no tiene carne, y que es solo para que se mire en el plato. Yo No tenía problema con pagar extra pero tampoco iba a pagar por algo que no se podía comer. Le dije que me cambiara el plato por una langosta más grande y que estuviese comestible y se negó. Encima me obligó a pagar el plato que estaba malo mientras se comportó bastante grosero para ser un mesero. El manager también se negó a ir a la mesa. Así que en mi opinión este lugar no tiene reparo. Mejor asistan a otro lugar. I absolutely do not recommend this place! The service is terrible and the lobsters are a joke. I preferred to leave without eating and went to Las Brisas instead. The waiter didn't explain the dishes well; he didn't even seem interested in helping; and I ended up ordering a dish that was pathetic. When I brought it up, he said that's just how the dish is. Excuse me, but I don't work there ; he should explain that the lobster has no meat and is just for presentation on the plate. I wouldn't have minded paying extra, but I wasn't going to pay for something that wasn't even edible. I asked him to switch it for a larger, actually edible lobster, and he refused. On top of that, he forced me to pay for the bad dish and was quite rude for someone working as a waiter. The manager also refused to come to the table. So in my opinion, this place has no redeeming qualities. You're better off going somewhere else.

Been coming to Puerto Nuevo for decades, but recently have started coming the Angel Del Mar the last few years. The food is delicious and the view is amazing. The tortillas are hand made and to die for. I have a seafood allergy and they always make sure to prep my food separately. I know it's weird for me to come here, but my wife loves it. The server Eduardo has been serving us the last few visits and he's been a rock star making us all feel at home. If you're going to Puerto Nuevo, check them out... they're straight down the main entrance all the way to the end.

For me, a visit across the international border from San Diego to Tijuana is fun, but incomplete. Unless, of course, you visit Puerto Nuevo's Lobster Village. Therefore, I made my pilgrimage to this fisherman's town after over a decade, to have lunch at Angel Del Mar, in Puerto Nuevo. The open air terrace had ample seating, and was packed even after 2:30 pm. Everyone was here for the same thing - Lobster. I had disciplined myself and skipped breakfast (only coffee), so by the time I got here, I was ready to indulge. I ordered the large lobster, regular Puerto Nuevo Style. The meat was slightly tough, but had flavor. I also thought the lobster did not deserve to be called a large, made my server aware that I was duped. After devouring it, I had space for another and this time ordered the medium. When it came to the table, the server said he was giving me a large, but was charging me the price of a medium for this second one. This time the meat was succulent, tender with enhanced flavor. My buddy had the combination of lobster, fish and shrimp. Tortillas were fresh and very tasty. Pico de Gallo and Chili Salsas were excellent. Definitely worth the trek here, and I would do it again, in a heartbeat.

Michelada was good, service was iffy. I had to wait a really long time and have another waiter call our waiter when we were ready to head out. I didn't like what I ordered (my mistake for not asking if it would be in black sauce) I tried to switch it but they said no. Personally the cóctel was tasteless and had way more tomato and cucumber than anything else. Either way I wasn't relying on them to switch it but overall I think there are better places in Puerto Nuevo with the same prices but EXCELLENT customer service. I will not be going to Angel Del Mar again.

DO NOT GO HERE! Before we decided this place out of about 10-other lobster places in Puerto Nuevo, the salesmen outside showed us a tray with different sized lobsters and the ones chosen seemed to be about what we had got before at the 2 of the Ortega places. They came out so small & we were very disappointed.Never again!! The crushed ice they put in my Marquita was dirty too because I later got diarrhea.P.S. The view sucked and birds kept flying in eating area.

such an awesome experience having lunch here! getting a beautiful ocean view, choosing which fresh lobster, and enjoying it with friends was great. The service was great, there was live music, again - incredible view/location, and everyone enjoyed their meals! Another favorite was the bacon wrapped fried shrimp & lobster. Super great meal - highly recommend!

This place was beautiful and the food was fantastic. We ordered the platter for 8 which had everything seafood you can think of on it. It also came with refried beans, rice and homemade flour tortillas. Drinks were pretty good as well. View was pretty amazing. Service was quick and he was very attentive. 9 of us ate, drank and it was only 300 US dollars. We tipped 60.00 us as well. Forgot to take pics of 2 additional plates

Angel's Del Mar is amazing! The wait staff is so attentive and kind, the view of the ocean is beautiful, and the live music is fun and lively. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and large lobsters (which came with rice, and beans and tortillas). The portions are huge and the lobster was cooked to perfection. It was a perfect meal!

Went there 7-6-24 and was quickly seated and the waiter Luis quickly took our order for two people. It seemed eternal before we finally asked the young lady that seemed to be a manager to check on our order since people that came in after us were already served and they were bigger parties. She said he's coming and 5 minutes later our food arrived. The lobster was good, the oysters were good, the fish was so so. When we handed over our credit card the young manager lady said our card was blocked because we didn't notify Costco to unlock it before crossing the border so supposedly it did not go through. I paid cash and lo and behold we just learned it did go through that day. I cannot imagine what could make anyone more mad than this thievery. Absolutely stay away from this place. The food is the same at all the other restaurants in Puerto Nuevo. I've been to many of them and cannot tell the difference. Shame on this place. I've now read similar reviews so this is rampant at Angel Del Mar.

To any tourist going down: beware of the young servers. Look at your receipt before paying. Today I had some punk kid with braces try to take advantage of me. He tried to tell me that my check was 114 dollars and after making since of the one lobster, steak meal, quesadilla and fish plate it would be roughly $20 a plate. I was right, it was $77 when I asked to look at the receipt. This motherfucker tried adding 40% tip. His pimply, mouth full of braces, lying ass wanted to continue and say it was his first day on the job. I don't like liars and worst I don't like con artist. Food was ok, my fish wasn't good. The lobster okay, rice and beans only one bowl for the whole table. Very low on quantity. The salad that came with the fish was brown and old. I will not be going back. Go else where: scammers.

The food was very good, we had the Asada fajitas and a dozen Oysters. We were planning on lobster at a different restaurant. The service was very good and the restaurant was really nice and welcoming. Also stop at the Puerto Nuevo Calimax, at the side walk across from the entrance, there is a couple of family vendors, one selling Tamales, we went back a second time. The young girl and parents are very nice and the tamales were very tasty not spicy, Chicken, corn and squash. Also another family sells baked muffins, very good and fresh. Enjoy

Since our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to try Angel del Mar. The restaurant is beautiful and they have a terrace where you can eat with a view of the sea. The menu is similar to others in Puerto Nuevo. They specialize in a Puerto Nuevo Lobster that is fried. 4 of the 5 chose the fried lobster and one picked the lobster with ranchera sauce. The meals come with rIce, beans and flour torrtillas-all which were really good, though the beans were a bit soupy. The lobsters were not large and all over cooked and dry. Not good. We were in a hurry to get to Ensenada or we would have sent them back. The view, drinks and the service were really good but I would not come back to eat. I've had much better.

Tasty baked lobster dishes on a nice patio where musicians will come play songs for you right at the table. I ordered the medium lobster plate and it was the perfect amount for just myself since it came with rice beans, but they have gargantuan sized lobsters as well if you're looking to feed more. The chips were fresh, the salsas were rich and the guacamole was perfection. The Cadillac margarita was alright but I've had better. Though there is plenty competition for the best lobster out here, this place has a great location and fun vibe with tasty food.

Came here with some friends after walking around Puerto Nuevo. The locals in the area recommended it. The seating arrangements are cool, their outside sitting on the top has a great view of the ocean and the sunset. It would make for a very romantic evening, although most people here was there with friends and family. There was live music and a big TV showing football. Their food was delicious, their portions are huge and their fish was fresh. We got ceviche, carne asada and grilled fish. Their margaritas are delicious too. Totally recommend it!

Cute spot, with a nice view! We went with shots of tequila, margaritas and fajitas! The food was good, the service was great. They offer to play you a song for $15, it's cool for the experience but idk about $15. Just make sure to double check your receipts is all. We were ready to pay our full bill/check on one card but then all of a sudden were told that they only accepted cash.

I always stop at Angel Del Mar on my way through Ensenada! Puerto Nuevo is a well known lobster village south of the border, where you you can feast like a Queen! Besides the fresh lobster, what I love most about angels Del Mar is the view. Sit directly outside on their deck that is above the beautiful ocean of Ensenada. You'll spend as much time daydreaming into the view as you will cracking into fresh seafood. Prices have changed since Covid, but $20 for a large lobster is a steal compared to in the US. You can get anything from lobster, shrimp, oysters, you name it here! But people come for the fresh caught local crustaceans! Entrées are accompanied with Mexican rice, refried beans, and fresh hand tossed tortillas. Have your plate with a margarita or a ice cold modelo and your set.

Probably the largest lobster restaurant in Puerto Nuevo (not sure but seems like it). They have two floors of tables with half of them having an open, fantastic view of the ocean. If you're inside, try to sit by the open doors so that you can still feel the cool Mexican sea breeze. The lobster was a bit overcooked on my end, so it was hard for me to scoop out the lobster meat. It was nicely flavored, but a bit on the light side. I would give this 3.5/5 Flour tortillas are baked fresh and they are HUGE. Margarita with cactus juice wasn't too bad! I'm very sensitive to the bitter alcohol taste, and it wasn't overwhelming in the drink they served me. A lot of mariachi bands will come in and ask you if they could play music for them. Oh, and the restrooms are CLEAN! The ones outside are much larger. Those inside the restaurant are super small, but still very clean. Overall, not a bad place. The waiters give good service and its a great experience to eat fresh Mexican lobster by the sea.

They are cheaters, the menu has different types of lobster but when you are already seating down with drinks they tell you the only have the more expensive lobster. I saw them serving the different types, even the smaller ones. They don't cook the lobster all the way, they even give you empty shells as part of a lobster!

One my OG spots in Puerto Nuevo. This place has a nice view of the Pacific ocean and great food. Although it's not one the original restaurants there it's definitely worth trying. Get the seafood platter that will run you about $130-150 and it will feed about 6-7 with a variety of seafood

We decided to come in when a very friendly and cheerful man convinced us to dine inside. Our waitress on the other hand seemed to be annoyed to give us service and wasn't patient in taking our order. Our food was a ok but my Paloma cocktail was the best. I wouldn't care to return to this restaurant.

The best beans and flour tortillas I have ever had. Really enjoy this place. I love lobster not a huge fan of Baja style but it's very good non the less. We eat here about once a month enjoy the margaritas and fro what I understand it's the best of many restaurants in Puerto Nuevo Yum

My husband and I were in the Guadalupe area checking out the rising wine scene. Well at one of the wineries in older gentlemen told us that we must go to find the lobster meals to the birth. Well you don't disappoint an adorable old man, so off we went. In a town run by lobster restaurants, this one was fantastic. We sat on the patio overlooking the water and enjoyed lobster, rice and beans, and beer at sunset. Unpretentious and delicious. Add it to your bucket list!

The beach view was awesome the morning beer was good but the food wasn't good at all guacamole was about $100 pesos and it had a cream color instead of green the calamari was extremely hard we spend about $1100 pesos we didn't eat have of the meal. Got the garlic shrimp and had the poop on it forgot my wife plate but she wasn't to happy with her meal either.

Puerto Nuevo is known as the "Lobster Capital of Baja" and there are more than 30+ different restaurants to choose from. I heard that due to the popularity, Puerto Nuevo no longer caught its own lobsters and most lobsters are imported from elsewhere. Anyhow, I just randomly followed my group and somehow ended up here for the dinner. Surprisingly Angel del Mar accepts both Visa and MasterCard, but I would still use cash (they also accept USD and cash is still the king) because I don't want to find out about my credit card foreign transaction fees. Not only does the staff speaks English, there's even an English menu too! Mariachi band will move from one table to another and you can ask the band to play a song for you. All lobster specialties & combos come with refried beans, rice, butter, flour tortillas, chips, red salsa, and Mexican salsa. Lobster combos only serve half lobster and a choice of beef (langosta con carne), shrimp & garlic fish (seafood combination), langosta ranchera, or lobster & shrimp combination. *** Lobster Specialty, Medium Lobster (Puerto Nuevo Style, With Refried Beans, Rice, Butter, and Fresh Hand Made Flour Tortillas - $20 USD): Rice, flour tortillas, and Mexican salsa were very delicious (best of the best in each category). If this place sells a bottle of Mexican salsa and a bag of flour tortillas, then I would buy those items in a heartbeat. Red salsa was flavorful and very spicy (on the same spicy level as the red sauce from the Halal Guys) and lobster portion was respectable. Downsides? Lobster meat was a bit dry and lacked flavors + service was super slow (our food took 30+ minutes to come out). *** Don't be shy and ask for table(s) on the rooftop - you don't want to miss out the beautiful ocean view. Summary: great view, easy cash / credit card transactions, yummy side dishes, no wait, slightly-better-than-average lobster, and slow service (minus 1-star). P.S. - Get medium size for tender lobster (about 1 pound) and large lobster is typically tough.

This place was highly recommended and we were excited to try it. It was our first time in the area and we were excited to get lobster. It wasn't until we started ordering that they told us that they only had small lobsters. So it was for us dissatisfying to know that we came all this way just to have small lobsters. We ended up ordering the seafood combination which included two small lobsters which were the size of shrimp and also fish and shrimp. The shrimp are amazing which made up for the fact that we didn't get really lobster. The rice and beans and everything else was amazing but again before you go to any other restaurants make sure to ask what size lobsters they have at the time before you go.

I was really excited to try seafood as they say Puerto Nuevo is the place go. I was really disappointed with my plate, my fish was raw, lobster and shrimp were over cooked. The handmade tortillas were delicious though. I will need to try another place during my next visit.

I've been going to Puerto Nuevo with my family since I was a little girl to enjoy that amazing lobster everyone talks about. I wanted to give my girlfriends the experience I use to have during our weekend getaway. The restaurant was clean and the view was nice. We had a Mariachi band play a few songs at $10 a pop that we enjoyed thoroughly. The special included 3 halves, rice, beans and tortillas with a complimentary margarita-what a deal!! The lobster tails were on the small side but decent flavor. The beans were ok, but the rice did not taste authentic. What I mean is, it was made with canned tomato sauce. That's a no-no in any traditional kitchen-even mine. The margaritas were most likely virgin. The tortillas were pretty good, but the service was slow. I wouldn't come back here again. I'll try another spot next time.

As an individual who frequents Baja I have to say that I've been visiting this restaurant for years with great positives experiences. In the last two months I've visited twice with sub par service and poor food quality. My last visit this past Saturday night was horrendous as we had a large party of 16 who i hoped would love the food especially since we where celebrating 2 birthdays. The buser was both cocky and totally checked out mentally we felt like we where taking up his time. We had to set up our own tables folks after being walked upstairs and no one helped seat us. The lighting was horrendous as we had to use our cell phone lights. It was challenging find as the beans and rice where brought out 13 minutes before the lobster and plates. I felt bad as some in our party ended up eating rice and beans as it took so long to get the lobsters, steak n shrimp. Asking for napkins, tortillas and our basic minimums made this a disaster as I felt no one cared for our business. The cherry on top was the server making a point to ask for a tip separate from the bill like we where uneducated on simple etiquette. His name was Pedro or Pablo I can't recall he bussed & served us on the upper floor. This is the second straight bad service I've received. I do not recommend to anyone looking for an experience because Puerto Nuevo is special to us and I don't want people to dislike the great town for mediocre service/Managment especially with so many options for lobster.

I wish I could live across the street from this place just so I can eat here once a day. This was hands down my favorite part of siting TJ, Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo. The food combined with the amazing ocean views was absolutely perfect. I got the Lobster and Steak combination and wowww. It's 3 days later and I cant stop thinking...craving that meal! The Lobster was perfectkly cooked. The beans and rice were delicious. The home made tortillas..wow..MmMmmmmm so good! The salsas were fresh. We also got the dozen oysters and loved those as well. They we're just missing the horseradish that I'm so use to eating my oysters with. Can't wait to come back to eat here again. Definitely a perfect place for family or a romantic dinner. Keep up the good job guys!

Me and my wife decided to go to this place since it had a nice view. When we got there we decided to get to get musicos and we were having a great time... The musicos left happy and we were satisfied aswell. When it was time to pay for our food and drinks our server and some of the workers tried to find every excuse to blame us for trying to walk out without paying..(ridiculous) they thought we were going to walk out without paying for our food when we were just going to the restroom. The server walked up to us and started yelling at us for no reason.. He then punched me hard in my ear and I fell hard to the ground. The female workers grabbed my wife's hair and slammed her to the ground . Her knees started to bleed and my ear was also bleeding from the guys hit. They wanted to steal my chain, man bag, and bracelet I had. When my wife fell to the ground her ring and glasses had fell and one of the workers there grabbed it fast and left. They stole her wedding ring and glasses. We tried asking for them back but they were just so aggressive and were literally threatening us. (We were scared being surrounded by almost 8 workers ) They were yelling at me and my wife and they surrounded us wanting to steal every jewelry they seen on us. My wife got so scared she left running to the restroom. The male server went inside the restroom and tried to touch my wife in there. The lights were off and she felt abused. She screamed and left running out. They called us names and treated us like animals. They treated us like garbage and never again would we go back here again. I felt like if they were aready planning to steal from us. It felt so planned out. Not even in our own hometown they treat us like that . Our first time here and it will be our last. ! Apart from that the food was not even that great . Don't Luis restaurant was way better !! I wouldn't recommend no one here. I would never forget this awful day. I uploaded a pic and this was the server that punched me in my ear and made it bleed and called me names and yelled at me in my face. This was the same server that tried to grab and kiss my wife in the girls restroom !!

Visited the restaurant on September 25th. We order the camarones costa azul, camarones al mojo de ajo and 3 large lobsters. The shrimp were just okay nothing special. Lobsters were tough and overcooked. Service was okay. We paid and left. 6-7 hours later I started to get strong sharp pains in my stomach and began throwing everything up. Food poisoning.
