Mi Kaza, Desayuno, Ensenada
http://www.ensenada.com/index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2...
by Cali Cucaracha, staff food editor
First visit to Mi Kaza, across from 3 heads, Ensenada, was Saturday. Had an hour to kill while waiting to meet boat mechanic for finishing touches on
boat before throwing it back into cruiseport marina slip.
My friend and I were only gringos in Mi Kaza at 9am. Owner, Les, explained that though tourism has hurt, he survives due to popularity with locals.
Juevos rancheros was my choice and desayuno gringo was my buddy's. The photo above is the j.r. dish and a solid value at 60pesos.
Noticed 2 laptops working, so wi-fi is available.
Service is very attentive, all is clean and Les is on the floor.
For my 5 cucaracha dive dining review:
NO: Unique/ethic atmosphere: It's a cafeteria, simple, clean, comfy. Not as funky or unusual as I prefer.
SI: Seats less than 100. It's likely 80-90
SI: Unique/ethnic food. It's home style mexican with some gringo favorites mixed in. No website, so couldn't show menu.
SI: Several item on menu less than $10. Nearly everything is less than 100p.
NO: Barstools and bar. My irish heritage enjoys a beverage. As a single, I'll dine at the bar when I'm alone. No liquor license, says Les, so that
famous "family dining" euphemism applies.
That's 3 bugs out of 5 and a solid value. They also open at 6:30am! That's huge, as very few Ensenada breakfast shops open before 7:30/8. Link

We have eaten there many times. Always dinner. It has always been good and an easywalk from our motel.
guess we will try breakfast. we are picky about breakfast have not found a place as good as ours yet.
but that is just us. I am sure there are some somewhere.

Great Place! Been going there for about 10 years. They expanded 03? but kept the huge portrait of Princess Di ! Popular with locals. Great service .
Mexican food . Breakfasts. Huge portions . great friendly service . bottomless coffee cup - no beer served. My only complaint is that at the time of
the expansion they went from really good homemade chips to store bought round (mediocre) chips- minor complaint.

Mi Kaza does serve one of the better breakfasts in town. But, as noted, zero ambience. I have eaten there many times. However, you can get great
breakfast and have considerably nicer surroundings at Las Cazuelas on Sanguines, just up from the Navy base. Las Cazuelas is also usually packed with
locals at breakfast time.

Las Cazuelas is perhaps my favorite Ensenada breakfast spot. That said, I look forward to trying Mi Kaza next time I'm in town.

BHW.... maybe think about starting a new review thread on Las Cazuelas... with detailed directions, etc.
I have found Mi Kaza (this thread review) to be a nice little local place to enjoy. The place is always clean, the food is very good and the prices
are also good.

I've frequented Las Cazuelas for many years but in the recent past my car has been broken into twice in their parking lot.
I'm about ready to give them another try but if anything happens, I'll never go back!

We stay at the Del Valle. Have stayed since it open about 10 -12 years ago. it is on the same street as the Kaza it is between 3rd and 4th on
Riveroll. It has inside parking and you can walk down to the Kaza.
It is alwys clean and most of the time quiet. the phone # is from the states 011 52 646 178 1568 or 174 0466 or 178 2224.
No pool but they have cable, the bad part the cable is from Puerto Rico.
Enjoy your stay
Irene

Oh, I was thinking of a place called Kiki's ... sorry for the confusion on my part. But Kiki's is a great local place for breakfast!

Las Cazuelas de Kiki ? they have good food. But since they moved the service is not very good. We always ate there when it was behind the Chevy
dealer. the new place bad service gave them 3 tries. NO more.

Monique's Cafeteria on 9th across from the police station has great food and great service. Never a disappointment.

Ahhh... just found out this info regarding Kiki's...
Los Portales is the breakfast place behind the Chevy dealership. It used to be Kiki's but the owner passed away.
