He opened an hour early and made us an absolutely beautiful breakfast and fresh coffee that cost about $18.00 usd. I wish I'd taken a picture! Not familiar with Don Diego's?


Hi,
Yes Jardins is dog friendly. They have become so popular that it is wise to make reservations especially for the weekends.

Also, the restaurant is closed on Mondays. And they do not do breakfast anymore, but they have the other restaurant in town that serves a good breakfast. Dang, I forget the name of the other restaurant, but I sure BajaGringo remembers?----It is on the west side of the highway near the park---how is that for exact directions. :lol:

Yes, Carlos told us about the breakfast he has so I know where it is. I love to find nice dog friendly places. It seems it's easier than ever to get one in the US now and harder than it used to be in Baja, lol. Thanks Diana:biggrin:

Thanks David, I know the place, didn't know that was the name though.

He does seem to spend a lot of time of the BajaNomad Hobby horse, but that's part of his passion. He is a walking (or probably sitting) enclyclopedia of Baja and Nomad history.

However, he is not malicious. He will not call up archives to ridicule you or do even worse. :o There are those who will though. So, the caution is warranted, if you care.

Welcome to BajaNomads, grasshopper, where hyperbole and outright lies about Mexico have risen to a higher art form. If you came here for any useful information, you're in the wrong place. There is a close-knit group here who will pee on your head and tell you it is raining.
:rolleyes:

I believe it goes: "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" At least that's Judge Judy's version. I can't fix the rest of your statement.:saint:

if the maid did a bad job before the OP checked in, perhaps the room was a dump.
just sayin' you never know.

anywho, if driving south, stay at catavina, much nicer joint, and not a motel design, is a hotel design, with a pool!
baja cactus is a motel with no grounds that would make one want to linger...

Jenny - you're so funny. Yeah, a rose-colored glasses crowd to some extent. But isn't that preferable in Mexico?

Viejo San Quintin. It's North of the turn off to Jardines, by several miles. And it's next to the hospital on the West side, slightly set back and easy to miss.

Just perhaps, folks traveling S/B, might not wish to double back North for breakfast. But, they do it well.

Never mind this card carrying racist jenny.navarrette. This idiot stick thinks of "darkies"(his words) going "boooo" to him..... in the middle of the night. Not much brain matter is involved...if any.

The closest thing to a motel room jenny.navarrette knows about ......is any outhouse that's available for a overnight stay.

Like that Fulano?

We've stayed at Cactus and I guess we lucked out because we always got a newer room upstairs. Pretty nice really by Baja standards and the staff was very nice. They even refunded, in cash, for a room I'd reserved by credit card but had to cancel after an accident. In San Quintin 'Villa San Quintin' is our stop now on the way north.
