the cheesy clams appetizer. The owner is a wonderful host and the food is awesome! |
Thank you for that! Sounds yummy! Do they have good carne too for the non-fish eaters?

Hotel Quinta san francisco..
Gale has a nice place there.... but I would avoid it on a Friday or Saturday night due to the cars/ traffic and noise from the malacon..
Plan your stay around that, and you will be fine...
Happy Trails...

You betcha. Mita Gourmet's chef/owner Juan Carlos makes a fabulous arrachera steak with chimmichuri sauce, great chicken dishes and pork loin.
He is originally from Uruguay, so he has that "roasted beef out on the Pampas" sensibility.
But you're missing out if you don't try his Shrimp Chipotle dish, and his lobster with garlic sauce is muy sabroso. My personal favorite is his Curry
Cream Pasta with shrimp or chicken. Riquisimo!!
You'll enjoy meeting Juan Carlos.

I agree with this 100%. If you do stay on a Friday or Saturday and even Sunday night, bring ear plugs as the kids cruise back and forth and are a
little loud . Great place for the $

Loreto Best
Just got back from Loreto and the new La Mision was bueno! Worth every peso .Paid around 110 bucks. Salt water pool , flat screen tv and the best
bed and pillows I've ever slept in all of mexico. Pasada los Flores was second with 50% discount june and july ---around $85
bucks. Had wife with me so had to splurge as I went fishing while she stayed behind.

If you can actually negotiate a lower rate than posted at Hacienda Suites, it would appear to be a great option. Right now, they are posting $95 for a
double. You can get a better rate at many places around town. However, Hacienda would probably qualify for 4 stars on many vacation websites. Totally
up to US standards. We have stayed there many times when traveling in the summer because Domingo's Place, which is air conditioned, is right next door
and has very good grub.

I will be looking forward to your review David. Our stay was incredibly noisy and the room was very dusty. Would like the opportunity to give it
another try. (and avoid asking her if you can use the secure parking in the back )
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

The Hacienda Suites is just to damn far a walk to downtown or the Malecon in the Summer time. Maybe around 3/4 of a mile but it can be a brtual walk
when it is 100+ degrees out.

True. Friends last week needed a place to stay and also a place to park their rig/boat off the street. Gail said that she did not allow parking in
the lot behind the hotel, and acted like she did not remember that she allowed it in the past. The boat ended up in my driveway for the night.

Wow, that sure puts a twist on how much Keri enjoyed the place (and she runs a hotel)!
Well, I never got back reply email asking about needing a reservation... so Gail isn't saying and maybe we aren't staying...?
Again, it is Wednesday night... and others said only the weekends were noisy... Also, we aren't staying in the room except to sleep, as we are in
Loreto to see the place and show Baja Angel where California began. Thus a $100 luxery suite is not necessary.
Phil C will be there and show us some options... The Iguana Inn was the first, but it is booked. The Damiana was a second choice, but Keri raved so
highly of the Quintas San Francisco... that is where I emailed asking about a room.
Again thank you all for the opinions on motels and restaurants... Baja Angel and I are looking forward to enjoying our summer vacation in Baja. We
know already where we will be staying before Loreto, and our primary vacation destination is Bob & Susan's Lighthouse Resort on Bahia Concepcion
for our One Year Anniversary trip.

Hi DK
Yes it is noisy on weekend nights as it is on the malecon. That's cruising night for the locals. Mike and I enjoy sitting out in the patio and
watching them all cruise by. We are people watchers. When we were in our rooms with the air on we didn't hear the cars.The hotel has always been very
clean when we were there.We enjoy it because it is on the malecon and right across the street from the marina and you can walk to most anything .
and the price is right also. Give it a try and see what you think.,k

Howard, you are correct about the inconvenient location of Hacienda Suites. Just to let you know, Joyce had closed the office by the time we arrived
at her place.

You should guess correctly. And what's with everyone fawning over Augies? Take away the view and all you have are a bunch of old white guys drinking
