Howard, thanks for the correction. We have so many good places to eat in Loreto it's sometimes hard to decide. Only problem is trying to eat on Monday. Seems everyone chooses Monday to be closed. Exceptions are: Orlando's, Mezzaluna, now Sabor and a couple others. Then there's always the hot dog carts.


Oh, who can't forget this place... from July 2009:






The tacos here made Baja Angel and I m-m-m mc happy!

Orlando's is also closed on Monday.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Pan Que Pan on Hidalgo.
Eddy at PQP makes fresh pastries, muffins, and sourdough loaves and baguettes every morning.
PQP also has good breakfasts and lunches, and the best pizza in town.

I don't know how I missed the Blue Anchor last time. I walked right by a couple times and didn't see anything moving on that end.

I kind of like El Caloron, which is at the south end of the malecon, next to Augie's. Mostly locals, a cheap lunch (think tacos and beers) and the best of views..

Also enjoyed the Uruguayan place, Mezzaluna, on the corner of Madero and Hidalgo. Sorry they said they were stopping breakfast.

La Palapa is pretty good for dinner. La Mediterraneo on the malecon is good too, but lacks the 'local' feel. Good views.

Coco's would be my first choice. Mission has the best sunrise in town. MX can't have a 5-star? Reads like a put down.

By the way, forgot to mention Cafe Ole for breakfast -- down from the cathedral. Short walk from Coco's.




US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Your mistake. I like to slum it with the best of them, but it's awesome to go to a really nice hotel with a beautiful view of the ocean, great restaurant, and bar, etc., once in a while.

It's no "resort" and not 5 stars btw. Now if ppl sit around the pool all day instead of venturing out on the ocean and into the desert you'd have a point.

In sum, step up your game.

Thanks David for remembering Mc' Lulus'. First ate at Luardes in '88' when she was across the street from Pescador, before she moved down the street in your picture. A few years ago she was working part time at Augies, but have lost track of her. Like to mention the Mediterraneo on the Malecon. Also good and a great view. Also, above Mike's Bar is Playa Blanca. This is a location from the past when there were just a few restaurants to choose from.

I never considered staying in typical accomodations 'slumming it'. Like Serenidad. Or Hotel Plaza Loreto. Maybe you'd prefer Loreto Bay?
