The following review is by Baja Nomad member 'The squarecircle' who asked me to post this, as his PC wasn't cooperating:

Restaurant MUSTAFA

Carr. Tecate-Ensenada Km. 93, San Antonio de las Minas

Greetings:

Be kind to yourself and experience Mustafa's restaurant in the San Antonio de las Minas grape growing region of Valle Guadalupe, a wine producing area of Baja California. See the menu with nothing listed over 100 pesos/ $10.00 dollars.

I had the Borrego Marruecos and my date went with the Pollo Mutafa and both orders were out of this world, i.e. extraordinary!! I had to eat somewhat fast to get most of my meal because Cali (my date) was aggresively sampling off my plate as well as her own. As we wrangled over each other's dish, the surrounding view of the vineyards and mountains produced an intoxicating and romantic effect.

Ali is the chef and owner of this delightful and tidy restaurant/bar. He is from Morocco and introduces a very unique gastronomical treat NOT to be missed.

Kindest Regards.

(I will try and post the menu)

I enthusiastically second the recommendation for Mustafa's!

We've been going there for years. Great food (the apple pie is to die for), attractive dining room, outside dining on the patio overlooking the beautiful landscape and vineyards (he makes his own wine, in general, a little rough but enjoyable).

Two notes, Sunday afternoons are busy with locals, there is often a wait; and no evening hours, he closes before sundown, but who wants to be driving the narrow, winding highway 3 after dark, anyway?

Marian and I eat there, but sometimes the fish is a little iffy.

On the other hand, on those occasions that his daughter (or is it grand daughter?) is there, who cares about the food? :lol::lol:

Nice place.
