Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rockin Baja Lobster Old Town offers a lively atmosphere with standout "lobster tacos and elote," consistently "delicious food," and "great service." While some find the live band a bit loud, the vibrant setting is perfect for celebrations. The expansive "salsa bar" adds a unique touch, and the Big Baja Bucket is a must-try.

    Pretty noisy, but that didn't bother us. Service was great, food was tasty! My only problem was the bathroom floor was just soaked with water and INCREDIBLY slippery. My 4yo slipped and fell, luckily didn't get hurt. I let someone know they need a sign or something.. went back before we left (she had to go again) and there was still no sign and floor was still soaked. Even heard others warning people as they walked in that it was very slippery. Lawsuit just waiting to happen.

    We had the best meal and the very best server (Glo H)! She was efficient and friendly and took great care of us throughout the entire meal. Our lobster was absolutely delicious and everything was hot and yummy. We would recommend Rockin' Baja Lobster to others!

    Our family’s 2nd annual Christmas lunch, will probably continue the tradition next year… delicious food, great service, fun & casual atmosphere. (Dog barked once at table next to us, was a little startling, didn’t know dogs were allowed).

    The hostess at the front was very rude and off putting. Why would you have her up front of your business when she’s already in a bad mood?? My first waiter- younger guy wasn’t very good either. We got a 2nd waiter older guy w/ glasses who was much better.

    Me hubiera gustado algún tipo de música en vivo como fue mi experiencia en el pasado había una señora cantando y eso alegró el ambiente y ahora se me hizo un poco aburrido.. aunque la comida muy buena

    One of the items I ordered was the Baja Sampler which is something I get everytime I frequent Rockin Baja but this time the taquitos were replaced with southwest egg rolls. I asked the server and he said “oh the menu was changed” but I had just been to this location a couple weeks ago. They have a smaller portion of everything for the same price. No complaints on the other items we ordered.

    We visit this restaurant several times a month and we’ve noticed a decrease in the quality of the food. This last visit, the food was over cooked and king crab legs were pretty much empty shell casings. It was a disappointment but we’re not ready to give up yet.
