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.

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.

We had a nice experience celebrating my sister’s 70th Birthday at RBL. The staff was very nice. We arrived at 1pm on a Sunday no waiting. We had a 1:15 reservation and was seated early. Our waitress, Mabel was awesome. Very attentive and genuinely helpful in dealing with our needs and demands. There were only 4 of us but whew! We had plenty of food and free refills on the drinks (check which drinks are free refills). We have been going to RBL for years so appreciate it being a good time each time.
