Bajas' undiscovered specialty foods


Here are a few locally named treasures recently discovered. Names withheld to protect the innocent.;D


We start our quest in good ol' TJ. This is home of the infamous Mordida Margaritas. Twenty bucks and yer good-ta-go. Or, just sip till it's gratis.

Holding to the coast we pass by Rosarito Beach. We stop to get some Trumped Tacos. These are so full of themselves they sometimes make you sick.

Next stop is Ensenada where you'll find suited up and suited down gringos going crazy eating Hussongus Hamburguesas and drinking Slingapour Dings.


I gotta tell ya that we had marvelous Sopa de Clamnditch on our way into San Quintin.

In Colonet our favorite local food included the Agbus Angus Albondigas. A little gritty tho and rough to pass.

Funny how the food was served in El Rosario. Everything had bumps on it and was mediocre.

Next on our list was Catavina. We found the Rodondo Rocas Rellenos a tad crunchy but very pretty.

This culinary journey had led us to another sought out wayside. Try a chickencoogrouper plate. Served up with your choice of banter stew or backslap cactus. Found only in B of LA

Back to the West Coast and on to Guererro Negro for a good meal of Ballena con Sal and some Pollo Insecticido.

It's a 2 hr drive to San Ignacio where you can savor the finest Arroyospando and Palmalago in Baja.

On this trip we fell in love with the Rustycan c-cktails in Santa Rosalia. The kiln-cooked Coppersmelter Empenadas were quite an unusual treat.

This trip ends in Mulege where this years specialty foods include Mariscos Inundacion, Flotsom Flautas and my personal fav, Tortas Lodos con Arena.

Oh before I go I forgot to mention the Fractured Fajitas we discovered on a side trip to B. Ascuncion. Fun to eat but they fall apart easily and make you rumble in the night.

What's your favorite Undiscovered Baja Specialty Food? :lol:

Gringo Garbage is definitely the rage in the tourist areas. It is non-descript, normally cold, slop that has a name unpronounceable by English-only visitors and costs 5-10 times what you can get in a restuarant in which you can find locals. But the added advantage to Gringo Garbage, there is always the most popular song, La Bamba, playing in the background. You know La Bamba, the famous mexican song that kid from San Fernando Valley made popular.

By the way, you posted this twice.

You forgot the Puerto Nuevo Frozen, Steamed N' Double Fried Langostas de Importada, which come with a hefty portion of Puerto Nuevo Parking Guy Curb Hassle Gauntlet. Mmmmmmm . . . . Not so much.
