This recipe is popular in Rosarito, Baja California. The tradition of this dish began more than fifty years ago. In the 1950s, a group of fishermen started attracting tourists for fishing trips leaving from the small town. When they returned from fishing, their wives would warmly invite visitors to sit down and enjoy the most common dish among local fishermen: lobster, abundant and delicious from the coast of this small town, served in the traditional way with beans, rice, and flour tortillas. The fame of “Puerto Nuevo” style lobster spread quickly, and new tourists arrive every day to try the famous and exquisite Puerto Nuevo Style Lobster.
