I would say Saverios and Changs could make it. I havent tried the new restaurant where Trez used to be, and Cheripan and La Querencia are not very
good.

Jesse, will Tres Virgenes be open on christmas? We'll be in La Paz or Todos Santos that day, meeting our daughter, and hope to have a great dinner.
I don't think we;ve ever had Christmas dinner out before!
I'm looking forward to hearing about great food you've found in Loreto.

Oh, forgot the tamale shop next to the Pemex, just north of G.N. Those things are drooling over delicious!

It's been a long time since I was there and I don't know if it still exists, but we had a wonderful meal and great service at a little place south of
Ensenada called "Mariscos Sinaloaense". It's been years now and I've never forgotten it.

Still there, Ken, if we're talking about the same place...in the middle of nowhere between Ensenada and Maneadero. It has a grass [?] roof?
I think we talked about this a couple of years back....maybe.

Oaxacan tamales from Eulodia at the Sunday tianguis in Loreto.
conchas or pitahaya fresh from the oven at El Boleo in Santa Rosalia
Oops! I forgot the why part--
Eulodia uses hoja santa in her green chile, and the bread at El boleo is much better than in Loreto

Tacos Fenix, Ensenada. Absolutely sublime.
In Guadalupe Valley, we had a fantastic dinner a few years ago while staying at Adobe Guadalupe. Best (and only) salmon dinner I've ever had in
Mexico.
I second Jesse on Mustaffa's and El Rey Sol.
Also, El Palomar in Santo Tomas isn't really known for great food, but I've spent a few lazy afternoons there over a platter of excellent grilled
quail. Ask for it if it's not on the menu. Greasy fingers, soccer on the TV, trucks jake braking outside, and a few cold ones to wash it all down.
Hard to beat, really.

Thanks Dennis, palm-frond "palapa" type roof, right on. I think we did talk about it a while back, glad it's still there.
++Ken++
PS just happen to have a picture of that roof:

Domingo's Staekhouse (used to be El Nido) in Loreto. Best steaks in Baja, and Domingo is our idea of a perfect Latin Gentilhombre.

There are 3 places in Cabo that we always have on our list.
1.) Pollo del Oro; family run, you'll see grampa behind the counter (or sitting next to it) and his daughter at the cash register. Same waiters that
have been there for 15+ years. Great chicken, ribs, tortilla soup, and the potato salad...yummy!
2.) Tacos El Paisa in San Lucas (around the corner from the Pollo). Outside seating, but the papas rellenos are wonderful!
3.) Baja Cantina down at the marina is a great ambiance. We usually have the pizza or go for breakfast.
We know we've been in Cabo after hitting up those 3 locals!

La Flor de Michoacan in Rosarito. There is a guy in San Quintin on the ocean side of the hwy that cooks carnitas in a large copper pot right out in
the open, stirs it with a boat oar. Excellent, a must stop.

Oh yeah??? I'll go against that with the fresh Frituras de Manzana at TUTTI DONAS in Ensenada any time.
Let's hear it for TUTTI.

My fav's
El Nido's in Rosarito, Loreto and San Felipe. Villa Saverio's, the now closed La Especial, Cien Anos, La Lena and Chici Jai's all in Tijuana. El
Patron and Equipali's in Mulege. Tres Virgenes in La Paz.
El Nido's for quail and steaks, Villa Saverio's stuffed poblano's with cabeza, la Especial for their Carne Asada, Cien Anos for their Mushrooms in
Marrow sauce, La Lena for their steaks, Chici Jai for their Paella, El Patron for their Scallop c-cktails, Equipali's for their Sonoran Rib-Eyes, and
Tres Virgenes for their Braised Shanks and well thought out wine list.
All restaurants have great service and friendly hosts in common.
Now I just need to head south and re-taste all of the above!!!!!

Dennis - it's been long enough for the short one to be a grandfather 
All seriousness aside I think that was taken in 2004. ++Ken++

Actually, the short one is still way too young to be a grandfather but he is much taller now, and the guy on the right would be the shorter one now.
Francisco, on the left, stopped working there 2 or 3 years ago, and drives a taxi now. I'm not sure about the one in the middle
