Great place, for sure. Call ahead to avoid the parade of winos holding up their beltless pants while being
marched across the street from the bastile to have a nice cup of hot water and powdered creamer at the restaurant. It gets really crowded then and
you'll have trouble finding a place to sit.
Just kidding. Honestly, it is one of the best places in town.

Stunning picturesque beach location and the hotel has a long, romantic history.
We have been customers of La Fonda for a very long time, but got turned off after several bad meals (brunch and dinner).
The all-you-can-drink bloody marys at brunch are terrible - meaning that they don't taste good, regardless of the maybe-or-maybe-not alcohol content.
The food handling is awful - huge vats with no sneeze guards and very little rotation or refreshment of long standing items. People use their hands
to pick up food from the buffet and then return what they don't like back.
One month ago, we revisited the Sunday brunch with some friends. They told us that they got sick right after. |
What happened to La Fonda?? Ever since Dimitri sold, the food has become bland and normal!

Well, if you're coming as far as Ensenada, you might as well go as far as Punta Banda and try Baja Mama's for a Sunday brunch. You'll have a great
view, right on the beach, the food is pretty good and certainly plentiful for $10. In fact, there was a story about the restaurant in the first issue
of the new English paper, Baja News. They open at 10:00 a.m.
Directions -- continue south on Mex 1 to the La Bufadora turn-off in Maneadero. Take that turn-off and drive approx 10 km just past the poblado Ejido
Cantu. On the left is a bright yellow building, Uriel Farmacia. Just past that is a road to the right (also a sign to Punta Estero). Take that
road. Follow that paved (I use that term loosely) road. You'll come to a security check, he'll just wave you through. Just before the next security
check there is a road on your left that parallels a big wall. There are signs there for Baja Mama's. The security guy will open that gate for you
and let you through. Buen provecho!

For a breakfast try La Costa. You would take the San Antonio exit, less than 5 miles from the first toll booth. If you get to Baja Malibu you missed
it. I can't tell you when they open, except that we have stopped there for breakfast midmorning in the past.
It is foremost a seafood restaurant, but they serve a decent breakfast also with excellent service. It was not a buffet, just cooked to order. Best
part they are right on the ocean and within 20 minutes of crossing the border. Give it a try.

Why not try the Cafe Bohemia for breakfast. They are living there and might provide some insight. The thread is on the gen. board.
