Bruce's former business and house is across the street from the lavamatica.
It is the house with the courtyard on the corner and the iron gates.

Ok, I'm really impressed by how that map is marked! We've always frequented Dony's and Danny's for our meals, but I think we'll swing by Sirena. I've never heard about it. And now I know where it is.

What kind of food do they serve? Similar to Equipales?

No, their food is more homespun. I ate there. Nice folks. Have been there only a few years. The food is, uh, not bad.
It pains this Nomad to critique other restaurants. I understand how subjective meals can be. For example, last night we were invited to dine with a client. He was shocked we'd never been there. We rarely go out to eat. If you were an ER tech, would you want to spend time in other ERs?:lol: You get the pic.
The generous gentleman had noted earlier that the food was better than most nearby restaurants and was only a 35 min drive from our place.

I was of course a gracious guest but secretly I'm a friggin' critic! One does not expect an SOS meal. Yeah, they had hazelnuts and raisins on some thin sliced cookedallday pork loin. It was really bad IMO. See!:lol:

Now, there is some good food down there but I doubt it will grace the covers of Sante':lol: Seriously tho, I eat in Mulege regularly. Usually at La Palapa or Scottys' El Candil or Equipales. There are many little places to get a good meal. The problem is KNOWING what they really make good and delicious. So depending on what yer lookin' fer kinda decides where you are going that day. There are places to get Chinese food or perhaps roasted pig (both places once a week). So get yer butt down there and find out!

Watch the fried food, sometimes that grease has a lot of mileage on it.;D

If you ever get bored those maps are there for Nomads to help develop. It's a big place. Thanks for noticing.

Cap...what kinda money do you carry??...My money is waterproof:lol::lol::lol: Some papers are not...not that I would put them in my money belt as I tend to only get in it when I am in a sucure place.
My point is why...is there something I need to learn:?:


I guess you are right about money being waterproof, but I have had a hard time getting wet pesos (or any kind of marked pesos) accepted in some places. I have a waterproof belt that I keep cash, a copy of the last page of my passport, a copy of my visa, copies of all of my pertinent aircraft docs, and my fishing license. Along with these things, I also keep a copy of all of these documents for my passengers. It is all much smaller than it sounds, if you copy several things onto one page. The belt I use has two compartments, one for documents and large bills, and one for smaller denominations.
I developed this system after an attempted shake down by some Guatemalan police. I haven't been caught unprepared, or bartered any passenger's freedom since.
As for my airplane it is very similar to Mike's. I met him a number of years ago in Mulege. His was a turbo charged version, and very nicely appointed if I remember correctly. Mine is much more bare-bones, simple and slow (relatively) but works nicely in baja.

Yow, hazelnuts and raisins...sounds like a feeble attempt to be Gourmet. It's true, knowing what is they make well is the key. I think what I love about Danny's is the simplicity of the menu (or lack thereof) and the fact that you can see the kitchen. You just can't find a shrimp taco llike that in the States. Hadn't thought of the mileage that oil must have, tho.:no:

Haven't gone to the pig roast since I was probably 5, so may have to check it out.
