Where exactly is Santa Ysabel restaraunt?

I hate to say it, but I am done with Momma E's unless taking a first timer. I seem to get heartburn there with every order of burritos (crab or lobster).

Even better... I just used Google Search and found this from BajaLife:

RESTAURANT MISION SANTA ISABEL

Located at Km 190 on the main road.

(it is on the east side of Mex 1, just as you are entering San Quintin... not Lazaro Card##es).

El Faro restaurant

We usually have breakfast at Mission Santa Isabel, when we are heading south, always good food and service. going North we stay at Jardines Baja and eat at the restaurant next door. On one trip north on a Monday their retaurant was closed and Carmen suggested the"EL Faro" restaurant just south of the turn-off for Jardines on the West side of the road. It turned outto be great. Carlos, the owner, is very nice and the food is deliciuos. Their cream of clam soupis wonderful.

David, Thank you. I will stop in and give it a try.

As for momma e's. Its not the prices...... though do use pesos or you get taken, which i did a few months ago for 30% on dollars... They only gave 10:1 while the exchange was 14:1. My problem is the heartburn, every trip (and theres lots of them) I get it there, and i eat all over baja, and all kinds of peppers as well.... They do something that just gets to my belly. I think maybe i have learned my lesson.... finnnnnnnaaaalllllly.

mision santa isabel has been there im guessing 20+ yrs-- you dont stay around that long anywhere if its not good and reasonable-- and the locals eat there-- another good sign.

Ok, just back from baja sur....

On the way down. Stopped and went back north on the highway to find Santa Isabel. Ran into friends that said theyve been eating there for 18 years. Funny, I passed the place by, drove back, missed it looking for km 190, stopped at mercado, got directions.... pulled in and the lot is full of cars. GREAT PLACE. !!!! KM 189

On way back, ate at El Faro, OMG one of the best lobster/shrimp meals ever! The salsa was even fantastic with chunks of avacado in it, great salad, and NO HEARTBURN

Sorry Momma Espinoza. Times have changed.
