Applebee's in Ensenada!!
Is this a first? Applebee's, a major USA restaurant chain (not fast food) opening a restaurant in Ensenada?! It's in the same complex as the Super Wal
Mart and Home Depot, there at the south end of town. Looks like it will be opening in not too long. Wonder what the menu will look like?
Just do it!

In the chowhound world, Applebee's is referred to as a "Rykoff" house—Rykoff being the wholesale canned and bagged food supplier that provides about
90 percent of their foodstuffs. Other Rykoff houses include bland, portion-control joints like TGIF, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Outback, etc.
You'd be better off eating last week's WalMart pet food.
The good news is that mere blocks away you'll find a multitude of stands using fresh, local ingredients prepared while you watch for a nominal price.
The only requirement for love or chorizo is confidence.

La Paz has had an Applebee's for some time.

2 years ago we were shoppers for applebees
imagine getting paid to EAT!!!
we only had to fill out a small form with times and stuff...
then we were paid
i always thought it was a really bland-food place too
but...ALWAYS packed with customers
i guess people like bland-portioned-controled places

probably as big a rip off as the restaurant...
had a Margarita in a local dump, nine bucks, I thought they were kidding. Asked a local, regular American what he thought..."oh, but their nice
people" yeah, and I'm a nice person too, why are they flocking me?
DUH!

Geezzzz. Next thing you know, someone will tell us, Red Robin has come to Baja. Then we'll hear Red Lobster is building a new facility in Cabo.
There is no more surprises down here once Home Depot came to town, then Cosco. What's next??????

Taco Bell, Taco Time and the newly insidious Tim Horton's coffe chain with the 4 white deaths - sugar, salt, fat & caffeine - would make it
complete and culturally homogenized.

Hooray for the Free Market
All of this moaning, groaning and depreciating talk means little. None of these Restaurants will survive for long if they don't attract enough
customers. It's a Tourist Dream Come True. Travel the World and be able to sit down for a Familiar meal.

It was years ago that I gave up trying to even get into the McDonalds in either Rosarito or Ensenada........Just far too many Mexicans standing in
line......... to make it worth waiting for a cup of coffee.

Starbucks is way to bitter and far to expensive for my taste..........Had their stock for some time but those clowns in Seattle just keep opening more
bitter places with little left to return to investors. And they really do pay themselves well.
Burger King has great coffee and senior citizens prices on their coffee.

Since the Nuevo York Deli closed (sigh)
...we buy our coffee beans from the Super Comercial Mexicana in Rosarito.
Very good cofee from Mexican plantations.

Magda returned all aglow from a Saturday trip with her children to the new mall and Applebee's. She's determined that next Thursday our usual
breakfast outing will be to Applebee's. I'm 'in' because I love Magda, but frankly I'd much rather be eating here:

We sold the building not the business. I'm looking for another location but not looking very hard.
