El Pescador, Just a Little Bit South of Puerto Nuevo, Rosarito
"What do you want to do next?" the GG (Growling Goumet) asked me after we finished four hours of paying our property taxes at the Palacio Municipal in
Rosarito.
I replied, "I'm hungry."
GG then said, "Where do you want to go?"
JR's Fish Tacos was closed. (Tuesday is their day off.)
Going south, tummies unhappy, GG said, "Let's try a new place, El Pescador." (BTW, GG does not like trying new, strange places.)
GG had the special of the day, Pork Loin Sandwich w/Potato Salad and I had the BBQ Sandwich w/french fries. Excellent food and I was happy that the
thin-McDonalds-type fries were delivered unsalted.
Jorge was very gracious and gave us a complementary plate of their BBQ brisket. It is the real deal. The meat had that pink ring around and it
smelled like smoke. Onolichious!
2 sandwiches and sides plus a soda and a Bohemia beer cost MN $120

Whoops
If you're believe it's South you'll be searching for-ev-er. It's actually a bit North of PN.

That place(el pezcador) is owned by my wifes family (Los Perez). They used to own the Hardware store nextdoor. Nice people, they actually made that
place better since they bought it.....But I would not bypass Baja Jr's for El Pezcador, if Jr's it is open that is... You may also want to try Tapanco which is owned by Alfredo Perez (same family).
Tapanco is a really nice place. It is located about 2+ miles South of Baja Jr's. Before the OXXO on the main BLVD. Dont forget to ask for your fast
track pass pass to use the Emergency lane when coming back(Tapanco has them).

El Tapanco is Magnifico!
Hi bajaking76,
We love El Tapanco and I have written about it on Baja Nomad before.
The fire roasted rib eye steak, the perfectly grilled rack of lamb and the broiled salmon are delicious.
Well, heck, everything on the menu is delicious, including the venison.
The dining room next to the wood-fired grill is an intimate and warm; a romantic place and the outside patio with the waterfall is just perfect for a
meal, a beverage and a good time.

Does anyone know if there are any one bedroom homes available to rent in El Pescador Community? Will be arriving around end of next week. Want long
term rental eventually, but need to check out what is there first. Have not been to Baja in 18 years and that was for 4 months in Mulege. Loved it
there. Want to be on Pacific side by ocean and close to border in a safe American friendly community. Where would you send your sister? Not
getting support on this side. Being discouraged every time I talk to someone. Location, Location. Live now in North Coastal San Diego and great
references. Quiet,, not a partyier or smoker. Been managing over 40 places here. I am the tenant you wish you had.
Being a newbie, Not sure whether to leave my info. Planned to just arrive and look around. Will be bringing my own bedding. and towels.
Appreciate some guidance.

OK Dave and Krafty
Dave, I missed your correction of my misdirection. Well, the title of the post sounded romantic. Anyway, my apologies and thanks.
Krafty, I don't know anything about the live music schedule except that there is a big bar area, with a bandstand and dance floor, and they have big
signs promoting live music. I am sure you can put together a great party.
Here is a link to Pescador's website: http://www.fiestabaja.com/
Buen Provecho, GJ
