Playa Buenaventura Cantina is gone!


I am told that a reliable source confirms the ejido president had the legendary cantina demolished, despite being paid rent by the new tenant, Matt.

Most of us know about the Bahía Concepción bar & restaurant from the years that Mark & Olivia ran it and the terrible battle they had with Sr. Muñoz, 'the black hand'. About 2 years ago, Mark and Olivia ended their stewardship and Matt reopened it.

I don't know anything more, but thought I would let you all hear what I heard, in case you wanted to stop in for a cheeseburger and beer.

I hope Nomads will update this news and correct any mistakes I made about this. My last time there was in 2019, with Cameron's Trail of Missions Recon.

Foolish to get involved in ejido property. Lots of stories like this in Mexico.

Was there just before Covid in 2020. The place had gone way down hill.

What ever happened to Rafael Muñoz “el Mano Negra”

Last we heard he was arrested.
