Don't forget the bacon-wrapped hot dogs!:lol:

Actually, we attended a Paella Festival in Ensenada a couple of years ago and it was a blast. Thought some of the Nomads might make it to the one in La Paz.

It's a Spanish dish by the way. Very tasty when prepared well.

Didn't many Mexicans migrate from Spain?? Isn't that like saying that Pizza is an Italian dish?

JESSE - 11-30-2009 at 02:57 PM

Its a big thing up north, theres many spanish owned restaurants and it used to be very popular after bullfights. Why here? i don't know.

Right you are. I have enjoyed many a Paella at Chiki Jai in Tijuana, as you might have as well. There also was a Tapa Restaurant over in the Zona Rio whose name I can't remember that was very good.
