Careful, a 5 percent surcharge will be added to all checks. There are plenty of other options in Newport Beach without this surcharge scam!

We went here after paddleboarding the marina for two hours and filled up on appetizers and margaritas. Their pitcher of blood orange margaritas was great for the two of us and paired perfectly with our ceviche stack and corn ribs. We were so full that we didn't make it to an entrée, but the main courses looked delicious!

Ordered lobster roll. Lobster was dried out and rubbery. Very little flavor. I generally love lobster rolls but only ate half of mine and my companion could only eat one bite of hers. Very disappointing. Have eaten here several times before and found the food to be good. Just lobster rolls we found subpar.

Really cool spot in Newport; unlike anything around. The lobster and crab legs were amazing, but even the corn and quesadilla for the vegetarian in our group was amazing. Layback atmosphere with a cool vibe, and Jorge the server was awesome. Will definitely be back again.

Our server was amazing. We showed up close to closing on accident, but our food came out quick, our server was knowledgeable, we enjoyed chips and delicious salsas while we waited for our meals. We tried the 3 tacos with beans and rice. My first taco was the shrimp. It was flavorful and so good. Price was fair. I Would recommend for sure.

We were celebrating a family Birthday and there were 6 of us in the party. It is a fun family atmosphere and is one of the best menus I have seen in a while. We were seated at a stellar table and we could feel the breeze as we were chatting and snacking on our chips and salsa. Their salsa bar is amazing!! Choices for everyone!! All of us loved our food! I had the 3 lobster tacos which were the BEST tacos I have ever had!! Completely delicious! A bit pricey for 6 of us but we were so happy with the food choices we felt it was worth it. Check out their menu online.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options with the tacos and burritos and the salads. I think they have a veggie bowl option as well. We had a vegetarian in our group and she loved what she got! Sorry I do t remember exactly what it was. I think it was a burrito.

Parking: They only have Valet parking but it was only $7 per car

The fish and chips could have had more flavor and the lobster didn’t taste all that fresh unfortunately:( just enjoyed other places in the area more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated quickly, no problem. The tacos are huge! And they were delicious! Carne asada, shrimp and lobster. Even the rice abs beans were good. I will definitely return. Oh, and the chips and salsa ?

Kid-friendliness: My son loved his shrimp. They provided crayons and a coloring page.

O.k., if you haven't been to Rockin Baja Lobster in Newport Beach lately, you are seriously missing out on one of their BEST ROCKIN INVENTIONS! The Mexican Street Corn Ribs. Yup, you heard that right, I said RIBS! How they invented this is a huge secret, but WOW, what a treat for the taste buds. They take a corn on the cob, slice it into strips or ribs, and quickly deep fry it, then lather it with secret mayo, Mexican cotta cheese, special spices, and OMG!!! This is a sensational new way to enjoy what is already a Mexican street food favorite. Don't walk, RUN, and try this NOW!

Definitely want to stop in and enjoy some good seafood.. everything was cooked to perfection and to your liking. Most places dry out the lobsters/shrimp, but they were still rich and juicy. Also, the steak was like butter, so good

Great dinner & service. The calamari appetizer has a nice crunch, a bowl has a good mix of flavors with the Mahi Mahi, 3 tacos dinner portions were good size. Good food & we will return again same time next year.
The host was very helpful with a few questions upon leaving. Great attitude & very polite even thou it was getting busy. Also, we arrived around 7:00 on a Friday night, wait was 25 minutes max, well worth the wait.
