One thing about (some) restaurants in Baja... they never stay the same for long... 
The drop in tourist business affects almost everyone in this part of town... so keeping good cooks, waitresses and fresh food is not so easy.

I spent Monday night at Baja Cactus. I asked to meet Antonio but was told he was in Tijuana. I glanced at the exterior of the motel on my drive south,
had an OK look. I did trust David K's review and made an early stop on my return trip north. Asked for a "new" room, and was given #102. A compact
room, but wow is it nice. VERY clean and a huge stall shower, comfortable bed and nice sheets. TV with HBO in english. $350 peso's for a single, a
bargain!
Ate a late lunch (combo plate) and early breakfast (cactus and eggs) at Mama's. It was fine with good service.
Thanks David for the review and I appreciated Antonio's hotel.

Glad you found it a good place.... Nice to know there is an oasis for travelers who may arrive very late and tired. The front desk is open 24 hours!
Here is the front of the motel...
Room 102 is the bottom right... Room 202 above is one we stay in often or 203, in back. We like upstairs because we are not early risers when on
vacation, and you do hear people walking around above you.

Reason I was asking....
I am bout to start doing runs on the Pacific side, starting in June. We need a really clean, reliable, friendly and secured spot, for the first leg
of these trips. Bajacactus seems to have good reviews as yours here (oh...thanks!). Sea Of Cortez restricks me from going in the summer....too hot. I
aint no Davidgunho K :-)
So anyone plez...the place to eat near here is _______?

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Ed at Baja B&B has the best coffee and breakfast...also a ciminera (sp?) with a fire warming up the restaurant...a few dogs to watch, and goats
in the back yard (at least there were goats there two years ago...)...and some locally made chorizo that is lean and VERY good...
He is a diver and surfer (son is a champion doubles surfer), offers secure parking and is a cool guy.
Don't believe everything you think....
