Delicious Seafood at Newport Beach 🦞

Let’s talk about Rockin' Baja Lobster - Newport Beach—a spot that wins over foodies with its tasty seafood, even if it’s not the fanciest place around! First, the location: It’s right by the beach, but don’t expect ocean views from your table. That said, it’s easy to fix—just take a leisurely walk along the shore after eating to digest (the sea breeze makes it totally worth it 🌊). Parking nearby is a breeze too, though you’ll have to pay for it during the day 🅿️. Now, the interior: It’s pretty basic, and the tables felt a little sticky when we sat down. But don’t let that scare you off—the food more than makes up for it! We ordered the Golden Sombrero Fest, which is supposed to be for 2-3 people. But if you’re not huge eaters, it’s easily enough for 4—total bang for your buck! The platter is packed with goodness: Lobster and king crab legs 🦞🦀 (meaty and fresh, with that classic seafood sweetness) Shrimp (my favorite part! They’re fried, but not greasy— the outer coating is super crispy, and you can even eat the shell if you want 😋) Steak and chicken breast (tender and well-seasoned, a nice non-seafood option for the group) Sides like corn, salad, Mexican beans, rice, and tortillas (so you can make little wraps—perfect for mixing flavors!) All the seafood is fried, but it’s light enough that you won’t feel weighed down. The dry seasoning sprinkled on top is just right—salty, savory, and never overpowering. Overall, this place is a solid pick if you’re craving hearty, delicious seafood without the “fancy restaurant” price tag. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Newport Beach! #NewportBeach #LosAngelesFood #IrvineFood #Seafood #MexicanSeafood
