Good place for lunch between border and San Quitin
Leaving for a few days in San Quintin March 30th. 4 boys (old men, actually). I know...it's still early, but I can't wait.
We figure we'll leave Anaheim around 8 AM and will be ready for luch somewhere along the way. Any suggestions?

El Trailero in ensenada about 2 miles south of the toll booth by San Miguel. it'll be on your left and be the most crowded taco stand you'll see (for
good reason!).

A little further south from Ensenada, we always use to stop at the one and only place in Santo Tomas on your right, a sit-down restaurant-----and
thought it was good, but that was some time ago.

You Might Be Really Hungry
By the time you are passing by Rosarito.
Tacos el Gerente for perrones (and if you get extra to go, they reheat really well). http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g150774-d1074950-...
Or, for outstanding fish tacos, quesaron, ceviche and aguachile, JR Tacos, just about a half mile south of the southernmost Pemex station on the free
road.
Here is a review of several taco stands in Rosarito: http://baja.com/rosarito/taking-the-taco-tour-in-rosarito/
El Trailero in Sauzal is very good, but it is thirty miles farther south.

If you guys are looking for a world class steak for lunch there is a restaurant called Sanos a couple miles north of Ensenada on the west side of the
road. Try the blue cheese salad and the ribeye. It ain't cheap though.

Best carne tacos are at Tacos 2000 in Rosarito Beach. Turn off the hiway at the 3rd RB turnoff where the pemex is and head down towards the main
street and 1/2 blk before you hit the main street it's on your right. Ate there again today. Best tacos in Baja!!!!!

I'm also a fan of El Trailero, great food and very convenient location. Probably too far south for your schedule but I also like Valentina's in San
Vicente, small place on left just past Pemex. Inexpensive and good. I like their Bistec Ranchero and if its morning I try to hit it for breakfast.

Or you can try Tacos Poblano in Maneadero. Once you round the slight curve on Mex 1, go past the Bancomer (on your right) about 2 blocks - it'll be
on your left. We're eaten there several times with no digestive consequences.
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

(and c-cktails).

Thanks, Bob---now I remember. For years it was the place to eat a great lunch, and rondezvous with everybody when going south with groups of
friends-----out of the hub-bub of the populated areas to the north, and entering what we knew as the "real Baja".

Lot's of people stop there. I personaly think the El Recreo across the street on the south bound side is Much Better.
