BajaNomad - Medicalservices in El Rosario

Medicalservices in El Rosario

Baja&Back - 12-5-2009 at 12:02 PM

Ed Lusk, of Baja's Best in El Rosario, wanted Nomadas to know that there is now a 24 hour ambulance and medical service with an English speaking doctor in El Rosario. Not linked with IMSS.
It is the only one between San Quintin & Guerrero Negro.

24 hour phone line is 616-165-8656, or see Ed.

Hope nobody needs it, but there it is.

We could have used this 55 weeks ago... :no:

We miss you Elsa!

:saint:

maybe the whole ordeal had something to do with this.

edit: Elsa's daughter is busy raising her baby girl. Her husband Santos is fishing at La Paloma with the family. The taco shop is only open a few times a month as the current economy and fishing season being in full swing dictates the pay scale.

Nice looking board...anyone know the brand?

Bajahowodd - 12-5-2009 at 05:08 PM

All I can say about his place is that we were the only customers for breakfast recently and the young woman who was cooking and serving was more interested in chatting with her boyfriend. It took forever to get breakfast, and the food was crappy.

rts551 - 12-5-2009 at 05:18 PM

I see things haven't changed much with the remodeling

Wonder how the medical and ambulance service is provided? (honest question!) Part of the city services? private?

I had a long talk with Ed regarding this; it is private. HOW they got into this business is a very interesting story, best told by Ed.

Re: food at Baja's Best: I have eaten there, breakfast only, maybe a dozen times over the last few years and have yet to have anything other than a good meal. I've eggs scrambled, fried, or in omelets, hot cakes, fruit and yogurt. Best coffee in El Rosario in my opinion (whether or not it's Starbucks is immaterial - it's better than anyplace else in town). Either I'm real lucky or have low standards. I'll check to that.

CATS!

John M - 12-5-2009 at 06:17 PM

I don't think we'd stop there again, each time we've been bothered by his several cats roaming and jumping all about

Food was good & cats are cool - but not in a dining area.

Is this one of Ed's ventures or is he just passing on information?

motoged - 12-7-2009 at 09:51 AM

Several of us stayed at Ed's for three nights last year and were pleased with the rooms, the food, Ed's advice and info about the area.

His dogs were great entertainment, the cats were polite, the food was good, the coffee readily available...

The only thing I didn't like in those three days was one gringa traveller (who made it seem in her loud and obnoxious way that she knew Ed) who, with absolutely no tact or social grace, loudly asked Ed for the latest "gossip" regarding the taco stand shooting.

This was done as a few tables were enjoying breakfast, the warmth of the fire (January), and their private conversations.
Ed is a gracious host....his son is a championship "doubles" surfer....

If you don't like the pets....eat at Applebee's :lol:

David K - 12-7-2009 at 10:03 AM

Good advice Ged!

Ed has always been polite and friendly... The food is great... During lobster season, ask Ed to make the lobster his/ 'Ed's Way'.

For breakfast, order the chorizo breakfast burritos... great!

Like all places, it fits the tastes of some, and not others.

A private ambulance service? That is interesting. Wonder what they charge.

The chorizo that Ed gets is maybe the best I have had....his efforts with his establishment are service-oriented and respectful in my experience....I had a difficult time finding any better food in El Rosario...Mama's included...

Mixed Bag at Ed's

Fred-o - 12-7-2009 at 11:53 AM

I had a couple of meals there last week. The breakfast was OK, and the coffee excellent.

The Dinner the last night there was pretty bad. I had scallops. They were little pieces about 1/2 inch square, and not many of them. ( I guess they were scallops?) My buddy had lobster, just 300 pesos, but he said it was the very worst he had ever had. Smelled bad, tasted bad. looked bad. I woud not have eaten it, but he did, and went away with the feeling he would never eat there again.

I like Ed, and have had many meals and good conversation there for years. The hamburgers used to be really wonderful, but we didn't try them this time.

He said business was off over 50% which could account for not keeping the food up to snuff. But that's a death knell for regulars like us, or getting repeat customers. He might be better off cutting down on the variety on the menu and keeping the remainder fresh and tasteful.

I know all of the restaurants in Baja (and elsewhere) are having one Hell of a tough time in this economy.

rts551 - 12-7-2009 at 12:18 PM

At least your buddy didn't need Ed's ambulance.

A Vicious Cycle?

This points up a conundrum to Nomads and other travelers. It is especially true of smaller restaurants in smaller towns. With business having cratered, one has to wonder about the freshness of what is being served. Obviously, stuff out of a can, or tortillas are not risky. But stuff like eggs, fish, shrimp and scallops, and certain meats....

If we don't patronize these places, things only get worse for their proprietors. If we do eat there, there's that risk as mentioned by Fred.

David K - 12-7-2009 at 03:36 PM

Sort of a no win scenario... bummer!

I would have a frank/ honest chat with Ed or any other resteraunt owner if you have or smell/ see anything not looking edible or worthy of paying for. They want your business and know if there is competition, they have to earn your patronage.

Was Ed there... ? Because it does make a difference.

A back up, for simple, fresh, local food might be Hugo's Tacos Mision... Tacos, burritos, stuffed baked potatoes... and great art!

Time to get out and see what's there, in a rural Baja frontier town. There are many restaurants and taco stands with some great eats... Sure they may vary, that happens here too. A tyruck stop town? Nope, I have spent many days and nights in El Rosario, attended all of their Baja-Rosario Cultural Festivals, visted the museums and cultural-historical sites... It isn't a truck stop town, by that definition... It's roots go back to 1774, before America was born!

Just a 'few' photos of El Rosario and the area's sites:

Bajahowodd - 12-7-2009 at 05:13 PM

David's historical studies notwithstanding, I think I know what goat is saying. It does have the feel of a truck stop town. And I will attest to the fact that I have always been disappointed by the meals I've had there. That said, everyone has different tastes and is entitled to their opinion. However, whenever we travel South, we make it a point to stay in San Quintin and eat at Jardines. I challenge David to claim that any restaurant in El Rosario is equal to or better than Jardines. On that same note, I wonder if David has ever been disappointed with any meal he's had or any place he's stayed? Balance is important.

ELINVESTIG8R - 12-7-2009 at 05:31 PM

I love El Rosario and when I go down to visit with Mama I of course stay at La Cabana Motel and eat in the kitchen of Mama Espinoza's Restaurant. To date, I have not had a bad meal. They even make me homemade flour tortillas when I come. What can I say all the girls care about me and feed me well. :lol:

I would say that Ed's lobster dinner (fixed by Ed, 'his' way) was outstanding and better and cheaper than anything in the region. Otherwise, Jardines is a A-1 class joint (or close for rural Baja restaurants... The Mision Santa Isabel restaurant on the north side of San Quintin is pretty good, too. Jardines is also expensive compared to other area places... but that is to be expected.

I didn't care for my meal at the bus stop cafaterria in El Rosario, so the answer is "yes" I have not always had a great meal in Baja ... or Rosario, in this case.

Mama Espinoza's is greatly improved now... it deserves a fresh look if you have been skunked there before.

rts551 - 12-7-2009 at 06:14 PM

"better and cheaper than anything in the region"

Hope your region is pretty small!!!!! Like others have said. To each their own.

David K - 12-7-2009 at 06:18 PM

I am defining the region as San Quintin and El Rosario... but would really mean between Maneadero and Guerrero Negro.

The point is the eating places are not all 'truck stops'... I never see trucks stopped at any of the Rosario restaurants all the evenings I have spent there... Perhaps they know better eating places elsewhere?

Bajahowodd - 12-7-2009 at 06:30 PM

No offense to ELINVESTI8 (that David). Perspective is good. I heartily agree to try Mama's place next time I'm down. OK? But as for the other David, I would still like to see more balance. Just think about your credibility here when it always seems like everyplace you stay and everyplace you eat is topnotch.

Again, everyone has their own personal tastes. One of the great things about this forum is that all ideas and experiences are shared. Lord knows that so many of the better folk in Baja who are providing accommodations and meals that excel need to be supported. But in a Darwinian sense, the ones who don't make the cut should be outed. It's only right.

You are confusing the concept with the reality. Can't count the number of joints off the grid between El Rosario and Guerrero Negro that have trucks parked outside. Doesn't mean I want to stop there.

Truth!

norte - 12-7-2009 at 07:56 PM

This guy, ( I don't know him) must be one of the leading businessmen in the community to have his own ambulance service. Probably better than what is available to the local towns people

Language is key: BETWEEN Maneadero and Guerrero Negro means not including those two towns...

Guys, I sure hope you don't wait for my trip reports to try places in Baja and report back. How about adding your own reports...? When I go to Baja, it is for fun and vacation. I have a positive attitude and WANT to have a good time! Naturally, if the food isn't fantastic, I attribute it to the natural order of restaurants to have a bad day, different cook, under par food condition... whatever... But, I move on looking for the next experience.

Some of you just sound like you either hate life or enjoy being negative... many of you go to Baja far more often than I, or you live there part or full time. Instead of posting regular updates, you wait for someone else to, then pounce on with your negatives.

When Baja Angel and I go to Baja... we are happy and excited to get away from our jobs and enjoy outdoor life! Perhaps having a positive attitude reduces the number of bad meals or other experiences?

Seriously, most places we stay or eat at in Baja are really good or fun. That is waht I report.

You want bad stuff... If I think it is something to really alert you about, I will. There are many opinions and tastes here.

For the record, we usually camp but when in transit or for other reasons we stay at motels or resorts and eat at restaurants.

Places we won't go back to include: Cielito Lindo for the 'famous cracked crab'... I have tried it 3 times at least, and Baja Angel once: Paprika overkill and bloody fingers.

Yet, it is raved about by some here.

Mama Espinoza's Motel: Mold under the sinks shown to me when we looked at Ken's room there... We showed him our room at Baja Cactus, and that's where Ken stays now.

Turista Motel is also great, comfortable and clean (and cheap). Ed's B & B looks very nice, as well.

The Sinahi wasn't very appealing when we examined the little rooms... But, that was before Primo took over the motel.

Ignacio Springs... stayed there one night last July: insect problem with big c-ckroaches in the room and a large mouse when we came in after dinner (spider webs, too. We had our camp spray and citronella candles... A large hole that could easily be fixed in the bathroom was how they all seemed to enter. Now, the place is beautiful and the owners very nice... so it might have been the normal summer bug problem or whatever... No need to trash the place because of the one incident. We just felt for the high price, it could have been cleaned better. In my report, I said something like "room included 'wildlife experience' ". I continue to show the beautiful photos and give links to the place... the positive reports here outweigh what we found.

The fantastic two nights we had at Bob and Susan's Playa Frambes Lighthouse Resort easily erased the experience at Ignacio Springs... which we laugh about now.

Important to us is having a good time on vacation. I will warn you guys of any place to 'for sure' avoid. I just prefer to mention the good places when there are choices.

The more Nomads who take time to provide reports on their travels, the better for us all. Please don't rely on just a couple of us to base your trip decisions.

Let's All Sing!

Bajahowodd - 12-8-2009 at 03:01 PM

Thanks, DK. I was pushing you a bit, but since you do post so much about Baja, it's only fair to let fellow nomads know when something is a little off. we all are looking for the best experience and good value when we travel. Obviously, we have varied personal tastes. However, frequent posters really reveal much of their own personalities, and readers can then filter the information with that in mind.

Or maybe Baja Angel is the absolutely luckiest woman in the world, because you're s easy! :lol:

David K - 12-8-2009 at 03:12 PM

I think she is as happy she found me, as I am finding her!

This week marks our 5th year together... It's been all great... Yes, I am amazed that I found someone who can put up with my passion for Baja and other quirks! :light:

You can never tell....

Fred-o - 12-8-2009 at 03:59 PM

I posted a couple of days ago about the lobster at Ed's, and DK asked who cooked it? Ed did, both the lobster and the scallops. Then someone asked if we needed to use the ambulance Ed provides, after dining there. No, we did not. I feel badly about posting now, as I like Ed, and have had good meals there in the past.

DK: Here's to you mi amigo....Ed had Fox News on the TV and specifically Bill O'Reilly, so he can't be all bad huh? I could not even get that channel at the Baja Cactus.

Speaking of the wonderful Jardines: We stopped there the next day, on the way home around noon. Made the mistake of having hamburgers: I won't say any more except; don't have hamburgers at Jardines. Like having a steak in a seafood restaurant and vice versa. First bad meal there too, but it is just not their "cup-o'-tea". Maybe it was not our week to travel, who knows, but we beat the rain.

Maybe the connection runs deeper than we all know... we like Ed... and he watches Fox News...! I am sure he would feel real bad if he knew you got a bad tasting meal and would make it up to you!

We were at Ed's last on July 18 (this year), on our way south... we had a room reserved at Baja Cactus, but that part of town had no water... so we moved to the Turista Motel that night. We came over to Eds' (across the street) for a visit... and he made the best Tequila Sunrises, using fresh squeezed orange juice! When he realized it was our anniversary (1st), the drinks were on the house.

As for Baja Cactus... Years ago, I requested Fox News to be one of the channels beacause it was and still is the #1 most popular news network and gives both sides during news/opinion discussion... Let's just say that Antonio is much more liberal than I and maybe that's why he only has CNN on the line up...? Perhaps if more people than I ask for a fair and balanced news channel, it will be added? But heck, we go to Baja to GET AWAY from that mess... right? :light:

When we find Faux News playing in a public place like a restaurant, we will politely request that the channel be changed. If they choose not to do so, we take our business elsewhere. The same for the extreme right wing radio talkers.

Don't need to have our time ruined by listening to lies, hate and racism spewed out by very dangerous people.

Wow! How can anyone possibly recommend a hotel or a restaurant based upon what cable news channel is on the TV? Isn't it about the quality of the accommodations or food?

And come on DK, give it a rest. Fox News doesn't pay you and doesn't need you to shill for them? Murdoch has already virtually ruined journalism in this country after having done so in Australia and Europe.

Please don't forget to include Fred-O as you drag this out... as I was replying to him.

Unlike libs, we conservatives can laugh and have some fun with each other. All you seem to want to do is censure and shut down the voices of opposition. Too bad you feel that free speech is 'dangerous' and that you don't even know that there is no endorsed racism on the right, just the left... We are color-blind and don't believe in seperating and dividing people into micro groups for political puposes the way your side does,... shame, shame... To us all U.S. citizens are Americans, no matter what their race or background is. We know that people when free are great and do great things. That if allowed, government growing so powerful as they are trying to make it, is dangerous to freedom.

Now, what does TV in El Rosario have to do with American politics and why did you two steer it that way?

:light:

Have fun you loveable liberals, you!
