Rehab the Building and Create a Great Restaurant
They do this in Europe all the time.
The location and view can't be beat, and the new operator can stock up on great fresh ingredients and wines from Ensenada.
Of course, it is easy for me to offer free business advice on the internet.

Maybe this is like one of those times that you accidentally press the call button on your cell phone. The last person you called is dialed and listens
in on whatever you are talking about within earshot of your cell phone.
Jan, you're using up your cell minutes...

Oh Cr--, Sorry, Didn't Mean to Be Cryptic
I was trying to reply to the former comment about the imminent shut down of the La Mision Hotel restaurant, very close to La Fonda in Ensenada, Baja
California.

This is an Example of What I am Trying to Talk About
"There is a movement (for lack of a better term) in gastronomy towards a cuisine that is, above all, natural, but also generally fiercely local,
seasonal and with a focus on superior ingredients. It is a style that was enabled by institutions such as Bras, l’Arpège and Mugaritz and is now
embodied by the likes of Ubuntu, Mirazur and noma. These ‘New Naturals’ are unique restaurants offering a special insight into the terroir they
occupy."
This is from a article about the new cuisine movement in Denmark.

Think I'll stay with the Tacos, Chili Rellenos, Tamales & Enchiladas. All with more "generally fiercely local, seasonal and with a focus on
superior ingredients".

Oh You Merciless Mocking Nomads
That's OK, I am just here to provide some comic relief for you, lifting the burden from your backs - the task of coming up with more weighty Woods
witticisms.

Have a friend that opened a Mexican restaurant in Odense, Denmark in 1971.
Bob and his wife Sus, have done extremely well with the "Mexican" cuisine with the locals.
The only thing they complain about is the "tax" structure in Denmark.. seems like it was up to like 80%
Plus, they are inspected just about daily, by government officials trying and catch any off the record "cash" transactions, and to check the busy boys
and dishwashers and waiters for "green cards"
For him, Tacos, Chili Rellenos, Tamales & Enchiladas, beans and rice and a couple of my wife's recipes have done him quite well and he says
business is just booming...
Danish food can become a bit old after a while, along with grey skies ....
Bright colors of the decorations, and the food's colors too... just add a festive touch to a eating in a Mexican
restaurant no matter where it is..
