What people say

Mexican restaurants are known for their flavorful and spicy dishes that leave your taste buds wanting more. Rockin' Baja Lobster- Newport Beach is no exception to this rule. Located along the beautiful Baja Coast, this seafood and Mexican restaurant offers a unique dining experience that will leave you feeling satisfied and happy.

The star of the menu at Rockin' Baja Lobster- Newport Beach is undoubtedly the pacific lobsters. These lobsters are split open and flash-fried, then served with piping hot flour tortillas, delicious ranchero beans, Mexican rice, and local red hot chili sauce. Guests can pick the meat from the shells and wrap it in the tortillas along with the beans, rice, and a dousing of hot sauce! And to wash it all down, icy cold Mexican beers and pitchers of margaritas are available.

But that's not all! The founder of Rockin' Baja Lobster, Rick DiRienzo, introduced these lobster dinners to legions of fans in San Diego back in 1983. He converted the historical Old Bonita Store in Bonita California to a Puerto Nuevo style lobster house. In 1992, he opened a second location on the harbor in Oceanside, CA. It was here that he created his now famous Baja Buckets®.

These buckets come overflowing to your table with choices ranging from slipper lobster tail, shrimp, and snow crab all prepared Baja style. The Original Baja Bucket® comes with slipper lobster tails and shrimp along with grilled carne asada and chicken - a house favorite!

Overall, Rockin' Baja Lobster- Newport Beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Mexican seafood experience. With its fresh ingredients, unique preparation methods, and friendly staff - it's no wonder why this restaurant has become so popular over the years!
