From San Diego Red
By Brenda Colón
"Everyday we come across positive comments about Baja California in the local, national and international media. Some are still afraid of crossing the
border but others are venturing beyond it.
Just the "Wine Route" in the Guadalupe Valley has become one of the most important touristic routes of Mexico. Not only that, but every day there are
new restaurants with a unique culinary offer that crosses borders in cities like Tijuana or Ensenada.
Why?
The change is people looking to innovate and become a part of the great Mexican traditions extend an invitation to our neighbors north of the border
and, why not? The rest of the world, too.
We know the current situation is not simple; past not yet forgotten left both tourists and locals with a bitter taste. We're not trying to ignore the
facts but this is the real Baja and, quoting Chef Javier Plascencia: "We never quit."
This video, produced by Jorge Nieto, Ricardo Silva, Alex Montalvo, Yolanda Morales, Ricardo Carreño, Mónica Hernández and Jorge García, showcases the
profile of Javier Plascencia, one of the pioneers of what is now known as "BajaMed Cuisine." He is joined by public officers, chefs and social
researchers.
In a few words they say: Baja's flavor is its people."

Big Buzz About Baja You Tube version.
Just ate at Plasencia's Finca Altozano in Valle De Guadalupe. Amazing, delicious, beautiful and fun.
Finca Altozano has at least a dozen tapas plates in the $5-$10 range. Try it. KM 83 Mex hwy 3, Find sign to Laja Restaurante, turn north there and
Finca Altozano is approx 1/4 mile further.
cheers
