Tile Source in Ensenada?
Earlier this year, we added a room to our house. I am looking for a floor tile source in Ensenada (that hopefully will deliver to San Antonio Del Mar
about a 2 hour drive south of Ensenada (near Colonet…), so we can have this room tiled. When we built our house, we purchased a huge quantity of
Vitromex Quinta Cotto Tile. We purchased this tile from Cisco at approximately $17 US per box… Cisco’s price has now gone to $23.50 US per box for a
similar type tile, as I have been told by Mr. Vargas that the tile I currently have is no longer available. Does anyone have any tile sources that I
should check out while I am in Ensenada this Tuesday and Wednesday (9/21 and 22)???
Any recommendations would be most appreciated (as well as where they are located).
Many thanks,
Linda

Ensenada Tile
There are several tile shops/stores on Reforma (Hwy 1) north of the Wal Mart shopping center, both sides of the street. I suggest you take a sample
and spend a couple of days checking things out.

there's a new one on left that's exclusively Vitromex but IMHO Expo across from Smart and Final has best prices

Thanks, Linda....Sounds like a pile of tile, but deliverd sounds out of the question for as far away that you are. It might happen, but the price
will go up to the roof.
Maybe a poco a poco thing would work better.

Back when dinosaurs roamed, we used to exchange road and gasoline info with trucks northbound from La Paz --- tile used to get more expensive the
further they traveled both because of fuel cost and broken product. My dream is talavera rock tile but the price rattles my knees.
