JR...Andy and Sonya are great folks, known them for years and visited them the last day we were in Cabo...they have a great home there with a pool but
unfortunately they didn't purchase the lot in front of them and the view was lost when the owners built their new home....but they are only a half
block from the water. I couldn't believe the cost of homes in Los Barilles! But that's the case all over lower Baja

Hang in there buddy
If Loreto Bay works, you will be looking real good!
A friend of ours is building in Los B. and has a whole bunch of beach. He paid $1400.00 u.s. about 20 or more years ago for the land.
This is one HAPPY CAMPER !!

JR...Mexico City was put on by one of the buyers who turns out to be one of the owners of the AZ Cardinals. First class tours of the city not to
mention the game! Everyone we meet that has purchased in LB have been awesome. So far so good with everything they have said and done. Jim Grogan is
an outstanding individual who really does care about the welfare of Loreto no matter what people who have never even met the man think. I'm a good
judge of character and he is certainly full of character as well as personability.

Hermanos Gonzales, everyone I know agrees with you, They have something like 7 places of business in La Paz, all family run. There is one here in
Centennario that they have been building for years very large may be just about ready to open.

Just had un taco de carnitas y un de pescado from Barajas in Todos Santos today for lunch and am more than happy to report that they were both
wonderful. Since I had read this thread before I left, I sat there and thought about what made everything so good. One thing was definitely the
fresh tortillas de maiz. I love when you can actually taste the corn. The carnitas was warm and moist(I hate dried out carnitas!:fire and the fish was lightly breaded and not greasy. In order to truly enjoy their
condiments, you have to get up from your table and go over to the line of goodies to add to your taco. I really like the cole slaw on my seafood
tacos. If that is not available, raw cabbage and crema will do just fine. But they had cole slaw. Sliced cuked and radishes are always a good side.
Salsa fresca(cruda) however you call it. I like it on just about anything but tacos in particular.
For those of you who have never been to Barajas and are thinking "Yuck pork and seafood at the same place" Not to worry. The pork is on one side of
the restaurant and the seafood frying cart is on the other.
BYW it was 78 when we left TS at 2pm. Cooling down at last.
There is nothing like a taco de cabeza from El Rey in Loreto. The only place I have ever considered eating one and one is all you can eat....they are
huge. For those of you who are going Yuck again, let me tell you that you are missing out on a delicious treat if you have never eaten cabeza. It
is actually the meat in the head that in most cases has been steamed. The meat is flavorful and tender. Try one...they dont cost much and you can go
home and say....I ate a head taco....them's bragging rights.
Enough food....
HEY what happened to my fire guy! I really do hate dried out carnitas

Where is El Viejo? We always eat at Sylies but she poisoned me with a shrimp taco a month ago and I havent had the nerve to go back. It was a really
hot day and I probably should not have eaten any seafood from a stand....you know one of those days when it is hard to imaging anything staying fresh.
I used to eat tacos that Sylvies grandmother made back in the early 80's.

As obvious as it seems, fresh fish for fish tacos!!! Also, the thing should NOT be overstuffed. Irony of Irony, when you become a "regular", they put
too much fish in. Solution? Take the extra, put it on a plate and experiment with all the condiments.

One thing that I appreciate at my favorite taco stand "Recreo" in Maneadero is that Sabino the cook, NEVER touches money or shakes someone's hand
while he is working. There is one person who collects money and that person does not touch food. There is also a sink and soap available for
customers.
A good taco stand will also rotate the beans and use clean bowls for refreshing the salsas.

I forgot...Barajas uses a clean plastic bag over each new plate.
I got so carried away with the food I forgot about cleaniness.
I am also impressed when the person fixing your tacos puts on a plasitc bag to take the money.
One tip on salsa....if it has bubbles, dont eat it.

Si Se?ora
y al pastor, adobado, carneasade, chorrizo de res, chorrizo de caracol, carnitas, papascon queso y cebollas, todos mariscos, burro, caballo, pescado,
taco bell and del taco.
Most all are delicious too!
A slice of info. Many places down here, at least in Baja Norte will give you a taco with cheese on it if you order a quesadilla Quesadilla con carne, pescado, ?? It's served like a taco, rather than a flat
quesadilla.

Judy,
At Baraja's I watched them unload 5 pig heads and assumed they were part of every taco. Now I will ask for them.
Life is short and you should take every opportunity for somthing new.
Did you try the roasted jalapano salsa? It is on the front counter to the far right of the street stools.
