El Faro in San Quintin
One of our favorite restaurants in San Quintin. Homemade Clam, Mushroom, and Crab soups. Fresh crisp salads and great Seafood.

David, do you dream of maps? 
By the way, do you know how map companies keep from getting there maps ripped off from people taking copies and selling their pages?

One way is to intentionally include errors on it... if those same errors are on a forged copy: evidence!

One of the most interesting things is the furnishings. Cloth tablecloths, carpet on the floors, chairs of a long-ago design. Also, the place is
clean the people are great and, of course, the food is excellent. Good off-road parking for ordinary vehicles, RV's and those pulling trailers.

my guess on that question would be non-photo blue color.
Regarding the restaurant, I always seem to be going through San Quintin at around 10:30am, are they open for breakfast?
Also, on my last trip north I noticed what looked like a new restaurant, a little further south on the opposite side of the road. It looked pretty
nice and seemed to have a good crowd, does anyone know the place I'm talking about?
Thanks,
Jeff

A big gold star for Mr. cartographer, AKA David. Yes they intentionally put in fake streets that do not exist for evidence!
David, how the h-ll do you keep all those maps organized?

Let's discuss this more...
How about asking me this over on the Baja Historic Interests and Literaturte forum? Don't want to sidebar this nice thread on a good place to eat!

Are they open for breakfast? answer, 'quien sabe' ? my experience is, punch in and ask.. Maybe they want to feed you.
Oh yah! Worldwide advise, but oh so true in Mexido.
