Hey Jorge....Remember Sandy F.? She used to write the Roses and Onions article for the Ensenada News And Views.
Anyway, she stopped by the other day and we went over old times there as well as a few other places. I hadn't seen or heard from her in ten years.
It was fun.
Chuy, for those who didn't know him, was one of the South Baja Arce's and owned a bar in Ensenada. A most excellent person.

first/last time (6 months ago) i got sick in baja was at la fonda (stuffed calamari). the waitstaff is ignorant to real service standards and the prices are ridiculous. i'm not talking about .99 margies, either.

go to poco cielo next door. try the mango margies and support the next wave of service oriented establishments along the north coast....

Paulr, El Rincon is an upstairs bar, located a few doors south of El Rey Sol restaurant.They don't really serve food but there is a great hotdog stand on the sidewalk downstairs, and Junior, the bartender, will have anything foodwise you might want delivered.Live music at nights too!

Should have included Magana"s, on the old road in La Mision. Great food, local color. Before I got married, I used to hang at Anthony's on Saturdays, Free Ceviche!!! I would not eat anything at Paris!!!!

Problem is that there were to few to choose from.

But on a bigger note, cantinas in Mexico have historically been bars catering to men only. They were not restaurants. They did not cater to families. I'm thinking that this post was intended for restaurants that had bars.

Too subjective. What does "best" mean? Best what?

Yes. I'm wondering why AB and CC in TJ aren't on the list. Anthonys and Paris Club are.

But this is a family website so we won't go there, so to speak.

There are other websites that thoroughly cover the baja niteclub scene.

Because they do have waa-chee-chee-lango or red snapper and they do serve it up nightly!

AB Las Chavelas CC HKC didnt make the list sorry- too many chances of sequestro!
