bajanomad.com 1st restaurant birth!!

JESSE - 11-25-2006 at 05:06 PM

After almost a year of very hard work and lots of stress, Aldo Salato and I have finally opened our new restaurante in La Paz. What started as a friendship betwen Aldo and me here on this very same board, over time ended in the opening of our restaurant. I want to thank all the nomads that gave me lots of advice, and who took the time to give me their input on many things ranging from the name to the smallest detail. Our restaurant is named Las Tres Virgenes, and we serve gourmet Mexican food with of course, lots of Baja influence. Some of the things you will find on the menu are Puerto Nuevo Lobster, Roasted rack of Pork Tacos, Cabrilla Ceviche, and Vanilla flan with California Chile caramel. As well as some more gourmet creations for those with demanding palates.

I would like to invite all nomads that live in the vecinity or are visiting us on their way to or from the North or South to stop by. A Glass of wine is on the house for any bajanomad.com member.

Our adress is:

Corner of Calle Madero and Constitucion 1145
About a block west of the Aramburo supermarket, and right across from the books books library.
Tel (612) 165-6265

Vanilla flan with California Chile caramel...

OK, I'm going to come up with a reason to go to La Paz.

I'd even fly in for flan.

Buena suerte .

I am really happy of the new venture in La Paz. It took us more time than forecast but yesterday opening party was close to perfect and everybody happiness was best reward.
The chef Mari Jose has fresh ideas (and food), the team is great and Jesse is the perfect host and coordinator.
We have a long term plan to keep adding areas and expand in one of the last historic buildings in La Paz only one block from main square in front of Cathedral and two blocks to Malecon waterfront.

Thanks to All Nomads
Aldo

Just an idea...or mail us some cards. Looking forward to chowing down with you sometime:bounce:

Congratulations Jesse and Aldo!
May you always produce the best caldo,
The greatest Caviche to be found on the beach,
And the bestest flan right out of your pan!

Great looking spot. We will be there when in La Paz.
