'Whitey or Gringo' first built the shack called Almeja's and operated it for many years, until his cancer finally claimed him. He was nicknamed El Patron..because he respectfully called all his male patrons..'Patron.'

Most of Mulege turned out for his 'last hoorah' ..back in the day.

It was a great place to hang out. The Baja beach shack ambiance was superb, as were the tasty chocolatey clams on the half-shell...Oyster Rockerfeller style.

We partied hardy with the crew..and were known to drink a few Pacificos now and then....

This photo is Almeja's circa ..oh..about 1987 or so..who paid attention to what year it was back then?



When I get back the Coyote Casa in February, I will look for more old photos of him and Almeja's. And some of the new El Patron's to boot...

opps..found these on my laptop here in _____?












The last photos above are right after Hurricane Jimena in '09. Nowadays the place is a great place to hang..or eat. Just ask Terry!

Back to news about 'La Palapa'



The new place is not La Palapa..that was Saul's old cafe...now closed.

This new one operated by Hugo and Josefina is called...


"Sr. Gecko"

A great place to eat, drink, and check your emails...Stop in and say Hi from Roger....pay my bar bill, etc.
