Sally, an enmolada is an enchillada, but the sauce is mole rather than red or green chile sauce.
And I would love to try coconut piņa tamales!

Cravings from the other four senses:
The sights and smells of Tijuana.
The first sight of the Sea of Cortez climbing southbound out of Mexicali.
The view on short final at Punta San Francisquito (either direction).
Mountain smells, trees, horses, earth, at Meling Ranch.
The feel of the sand on the beach at Punta Pescadero.
Schooling hammerhead sharks at El Bajo in La Paz Bay.
First view of the seafood combination at Cesar's in Loreto (RIP). This eventually involves the fifth sense.
Sunrise at Punta San Francisquito.
Seeing, feeling, hearing the gray whales in Laguna San Ignacio.
carpe diem!

For me, one is finding historic sites and walking the same route as people did hundreds of years ago.
There is just so much to do and experience in Baja!

On our recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, one of my nieces had to stay home and work, but sent a list of must-haves for her little sister to be sure and
eat!
Tortilla soup at Pollo de Oro, I like the roasted chicken and the potato salad myself.
Papas at Paisas Tacos.
Sopes from the sope ladies up in our 4 de Marzo barrio.
She also had to bring home the Potato chips ondulados with chili cheese (guess they don't sell them in San Diego).
What I enjoyed best on this trip was all the Marlin that everyone cooked when we went to visit: Machaca de Marlin with homemade flour tortillas,
smoked marlin quesadillas, and marlin en papel aluminio on the barbq!
Little niece, that doesn't eat fish...enjoyed it as well!

La Cazuela de Mole in Rosarito, they server those sweet tamales for desert with all the meals. Just a little extra something that is special. Just
across from the police station.

The people, the food, the geography, the culture, the creativity, the wildness, but mostly the ocean and especially where the edge of the water
bubbles over the sand and bioluminescent things spark in the night. When I get there, the first thing I do is put my feet in the water and feel the
soda water-like sensation of being near the water again. And, yes, fresh churros from the street vendor is right up there!
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

I'll vote for that, too. But, if memory is correct, I thought I also had them at Malarrimo. No?

Heading in to Ensenada, after passing El Sauzal, you take the split off to the left (not going straight toward the port). You will pass a VW
dealership on your right, a Pemex on your left, and a 2nd Pemex on your right. You will see c-ckteleria Mazatlan on your right, directly across the
street from the bus depot. You can park in their small lot on the side, or on the street. We usually like to get there around 1:30 and stay for a
couple of hours. Order a cubeta of Pacifico's (6 for the price of 5).
