The town started out as a lobster town, and today it remains as a lobster town. Puerto Nuevo originated the unique dish that features fresh lobsters cut open, cooked in sizzling lard, and served with rice, beans and tortillas.  Every restaurant you see in town advertises that local dish, for surprisingly reasonable prices; around $10.00 for a full dinner with all-you-can-eat rice, salsa and beans.Puerto Nuevo has many fish and lobster restaurants, both large and small, and quite a few small taco stands.  I didn't see any push-cart street vendors, possibly due to the inclement weather that was brewing.

Puerto Nuevo is a fun little place to stroll in, as the entire village is only a few blocks square, and you could probably hike the entire village in 15 minutes.  Beware:  When the weather is nice, the place is loaded with tourists, both Mexicans and Norteamericanos.
