Mood: missing Baja...

Hi Jan.Check out this website .It has info for Haliotas.We love it for the clean, fresh food and service, and the Abulone is very good.One evening we
asked to see what we were ordering and Jose brought out a platter with an Abulone pulsing, still very fresh and alive.Don't expect fancy sauces or
frilly salads.It really is a place you need to see and have a dinner! Mexicomatters@info 176 Ave Delante, phone from US, 011-52-646-1760341 .Ya
gotta see the ancient diving suits, stained glass windows depicting sea animals and fishing, whales, etc. It is a very cool and serene place to
dine.The Family has a restaurant on Cedros Island also.

Do you know if UltraMarino is still in business?

Yes it is, but they open late (late for me!), i think not until 4:00. At least they are supposed to open at 4:00 but usually don't open until 4:30. I
have not been to ultra marina but imagine the menu is similar to barra azul (same owner). Barra Azul is closed Monday and Tuesday, and I imagine the
same for Ultra Marina.

What we love about the food scene in Ensenada is the plethora of new young chefs, mostly graduates of the culinary school at UABC, who bring a lot of
imagination to their work. Most start out working at places like Manzanilla, but Benito eventually peees them off and they go out on their own.
When BB2005 and I go out to dinner, we rarely ask to see a menu, except out of curiosity. Most often, we'll we'll request a three- or four-"tiempos"
dinner, and leave it up to the chef to fill in the blanks. We've yet to be disappointed.

Sounds as though UABC may be ignoring the tragedy of their Marine Sciences program. They turn out into the streets an unrealistic number of
Oceanography experts and there are no jobs for them. They end up taking whatever employment they can find.
Pretty soon, everybody working at McDonalds will be a Chef or a Plankton expert.

Lots of Pork on Calle Miramar.  |

Any changes at El Taco de Huitzilopochtli ? It has been 9 years since I ate there with David Eidell, elgatoloco and Barb, and Fishin' Rich... and one
more time with my ladyfriend a year later. David E called it the best food in all of Mexico! It was pretty exotic, serving Aztec and Oaxaca unique
food.

Well, don't mind if I do...
I've got this big enterage doing the entire peninsula (coming right up in just a couple of weeks). We're doing one night (Sunday) in Ensenada. I've
read some good reviews of the following. I *believe* they're all down near the Mercado Negro.
Muelle Tres
La Cocedora De Langosta
Casamar
One issue is that there's 16 of us. So a smaller place might not work too well.
Price doesn't matter too much, but value's a good thing.
Comments, plz.

All I know for sure is...if, while driving south, you see the Applebee's, don't despair. Another 100 feet and you'll be at McDonalds.

Those are espleets, splits. An 8oz bottle of beer.
The food is pedestrian. Good, but not great.
I eat there every chance I get.
