Mustafa's
Morrocan style lamb with almonds and raisins plus cous cous $12; excellent. Decent label-less house wine. Best part: English speaking,
middle-eastern looking cashier/hostess. Does the term "masonry outbuilding" ring a bell? :-)
On Mex 3, "Ruta del Vino", near Fco. Zarco, between Tecate & Ensenada.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

I thought the food was the point of going out to eat !?
I must be getting older - or not old enough !
I passed that place last week going north; the brick outhouse must have been inside or I'm SURE I would have noticed.

Outhouse humor
Very funny you guys, but in defense of Mustafa, born in Algeria and served for many years in the U.S. Merchant Marine,
he has very adequate and clean indoor facilities for both sexes (four stalls if I remember correctly in the ladies', can't speak about the men's).
Now, as to the food, his lamb and couscous is a delicious something we're willing to drive down for, and, as far as we have experienced, everything
else on the menu is very good, especially the apple pie w/cheese inside, a four-inch plus skyscraper of deliciousness, with ice cream!
On a fine day, sitting outside on the patio, surrounded by the land planted with grapes and looking out on the gently rising hills of Valle Guadelupe
makes for a fine memory of good food and good times.
BTW, the beautiful eastern-ethnic-looking woman at the cash register is most likely his daughter.
BBTW, he makes pretty darn good wine from the vines surrounding the restaurant. They aren't on the wine list, sometimes he shares a glass or two with
you at your table.

I eat there just for the slight chance that Mustafa's daughter will be the waitress. I tried to trade him Marian and a sick goat for her one time, but
he would not go along with it. She lives in the USA. Eye Candy.

No disrespect intended. It was meant as a compliment, although I could have used a bit more elegant analogy. Lord, I apologize...
