I had really good tacos de carne asada at the ballpark there a couple years ago. The vendor only made carne asada and had a row of self serve condiments including frijoles enteros.

The Mexicali Aguilas of the Mexican Pacific League have a very nice ballpark (although not a good team) without a lot of extra entertainment thrown in. I think the park holds around 16,000. The season is very short, late October through the end of December.

larry, I've been to the ballpark and the tacos are indeed pretty good. Just not great/good like I am used to in the larger cities on the mainland. I think the hot dogs are pretty good there too.

I do love the stadium and the baseball here, even if the team is not that great. You really can't beat baseball when a beer is only 15 pesos and the beer guy has them waiting in a bucket on ice only 10 feet from your seat!

I agree about the beer vendors. I think the small differences with American ballparks make it a very cool experience. I particularly like the way they have a musical theme for almost every situation in the game, and for each player. Have you seen the Tecate girls out there, or was that a one time event?

Yes they are there at every game.. and the Corona girls too. I'm still waiting for a staged cat fight to break out during the 7th inning. :)

All around, attending a Mexican baseball game is a great time, and anyone who likes baseball should check out a game. It's very AAA/MLB(circa 1920's) feel. Just throw in some loud music , sound effects, and an old fuzzy (must be recycled or nuked from the desert sun) video screen in the outfield.
