BajaNomad - Breakfast in Ensenada?

Breakfast in Ensenada?

DianaT - 1-25-2011 at 12:37 PM

Looking for a good breakfast place in Ensenada that is close to the Costco area and that is open on a Monday.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Obviously, there's Applebees just down and across the street. However, in my opinion, the two best breakfast places in town are Las Cazuelas on Sanguines just up from the entrance to the Navy base and Mi Kaza (I think it's on Riveroll just up from the docks). Neither near Costco, but I think they are the best.

Closest thing tolerable might be Estero Beach. Not sure of their schedule.

From which direction are you traveling? Sounds like north to south. If so, stop at Las Cazuelas by the Navy Base..next to world famous Tutti Donas.

In fact, just go to Tutti's and eat fresh, hot Apple Fritters til your belly blows up. It will be one of your finest days. :biggrin:

It's a stretch from COSTCO, but you can try Monique's. On 9th street across from the main Police station.

Or you could try the Estero Beach Resort

The reason for close to Costco is that I will be leaving my computer at the TelCel office for an hour or more-----thus, we were hoping not to back track, but may have to do so.

It's what? About 10-15 minutes back to Las Cazuelas?

OK, and we have been there before and we also really enjoyed Monique's once, and have not tried the Hotel Corona. I know they are not far, but we just have this thing about never wanting to backtrack unless absolutely necessary. Just one of those weird things---but it sounds like we might need to to so as we will not eat at Applebees. :lol:

I add to the recommendations for Las Cazuelas - one of my favorite breakfast spots.
Here's a coupon for 10% off...

And bajaguy is correct - Monique's is another great breakfast spot. A very good friend of mine works there... ask for Magda as your server and be sure to tip well.

Yes, we enjoyed meeting Magda. But with a 10% coupon, it just may have to be Las Cazuelas! Can't pass up a good deal. Gracias, amiga.

Sounds as though McDonaldos might just fill the bill.
I think Monique's is good but out of range...especially through traffic which, at that time, can be infuriating.

Going around the block isn't really backtracking. Just consider it, "looking for a parking place."

Baja Fruit in the Walmart Plaza right across from Costco.

I've waited at the Road Runner on the Ruta de Vino for Costco booze sales to be open.....

Love that one.

Hey, DT. Thought just occurred to me. Since you'll be at the Walmart center, don't they have a VIPS adjacent? I posted some time back about the cleanliness of these restaurants. Been in several both in Baja and on the mainland. They actually do a really good breakfast, including some wonderful fruit plates. But what stunned me was their chilaquiles. Despite their ambience that seems to aspire to Denny's, their chilaquiles breakfast is to die for.

So, no going back. Just do it there.:tumble:

Jeez, it's been so long I have to ask: Is Restaurant Sofia Y Almas still in business on calle delante, about even across the street with haliotis?

They used to put out a super, genuine mexican desayuno, and the bill was a lot lower than it used to be at Los Cazuelas.

Sofia Y Almas was one of my favorites because it was genuinely mexicano.

Jeeeezo...does that bring back memories. I hope they're still happening. I used to go there a lot when I lived in town. I'll have to take a look.

Me too! Hi there! That 10AM thing has to go. :yes:

My vote for Las Cazuelas.
