Dive Bar in Ensenada
OK, so the outside appearance, inside decor and atmosphere won't get this place on any gourmet reviews, but it might make Diners, Drive-ins and
Dives......heavy on the Dive.
Tuesday afternoons - rib eye steak or salmon, veggies and baked potato
Thursday afternoons - same as above but substitute pasta for the spud
Standard bar drinks available, their margaritas are not bad
Chef (cook)??? works over an outdoor charcoal grill
120 pesos for rib eye or salmon. I had both......won't win any culinary awards from the "A" list crowd, but a great meal at a great price.
El Sarape
s/e corner of Blancarte and Costero
Ensenada
Dinner served from 4PM
Edited for photo......and tonight they also had grilled tuna

You are right Woody.
The three pack of rib-eyes at (US) Costco, are well over $30.00

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Maybe that's why the chef is working a charcoal grill outside!

That looks like pretty good fair for a dive bar
Too bad about the fire , looks like they quickly rallied
Speaking of ribeye's, can I get some suggestions PLEASE, For a Xmas BBQ, where I might be able to order 2 dozen Frenched Rib Eye Cowboy Steaks in the
Ensenada area -- a good carneceria ???
Thanks

Several restaurants in the Ensenada area get their meat (USDA rib eyes and NY's) at the Ensenada COSTCO
The Canasta restaurant supply also has meat, corner of 4th and Granada
A custom meat shop is the San Nicholas, across from the Soriana/Office Depot complex on Reforma and Delante
"Most" Mexican meat markets do not dry age their beef, keep that in mind

Some of the big names of the Guadalupe Valley and Ensenada sit at a table in the patio behind the bar and drink wine, scotch and smoke
cigars......some very interesting conversations!!

Right, but each rib-eye is about 5" thick. This one looks a bit thinner.

Speaking of frenched, the Enseadada Commercial Mexicano (pelican store) currently has frenched 8 rib rack of lamb, stamped product of Australia, in
the frozen meat section and it is very meaty and tasty cooked on the grill.
