Mexico’s Little Lobster Town
Puerto Nuevo, a 90-minute drive from San Diego, is a teeny fishing village with less than 400 residents and a handful of roads that lead to one of three places — the ocean, the highway to Ensenada/Rosarito or a lobster restaurant. There are few signs of residential life, just some tilted shacks, a corroding trailer home, stray dogs — and 32 eateries serving the town specialty, Puerto Nuevo lobster.
