The taxi driver is a primary suspect. See if you can get some info to identify the taxista.

Tio Lupes..
We take our fish there about every two weeks.. The best place in town in my opinion to take fresh fish to be prepared..
Our last two trips included fresh yellowtail cooked three ways... and a nice pargo "butterfly" on the BBQ..
Prices are very fair..and the margaritas are killer..

your friend should see his M.D. there may be a possibility that traces of the substance remains in a detectable amount. That might be the clincher in
this story and be what the owner needs to follow through...

La Tijerita.....That's easy for you to say, but if you were a gringo they'd be trying to poison you too. (Oh, you are a gringo?)
What are you trying to do, dampen down the hysteria?
What fun is that?
I think I'm going to go home and lock myself in my palapa.....

My take on this:
The original scenario where it was claimed that if someone spoke English, or was not Mexican, that they took away the menus....
Get real. This is and has been a town very dependent upon tourism. Why would that happen?
That said, I have to admit that we had a similar experience in El Rosario a few years back, and repeated the next year. But El Rosario is not a
destination vacation place as is Loreto.
I'm not going to accuse the original so-called "victim" of lying, but, I would also want to know more about their experiences in Mexico and their
usual attitude. There has been for many years an "ugly American" thingy, where US tourists, wherever throughout the world, overtly act like superiors,
thereby turning the locals off.

For an absolute fact Rohypnol®, is banned in Mexico. Sector Salud (with the PGR) would crucify anyone found in possession of it.
I know of several tourist bars that got tired of tourists complaining about weak margaritas so they pepped them up with aguardiente, but that's an
entirely different issue.
If I had ever felt that I had been drugged, off to the clinica I would go for a blood draw. The ministerio Publico would take a rather dim view of
knockout medication found in a blood draw. Then comes a visit to PROFECO, and finally SECTUR. If found to be an authentic doping all the bad people
would wish they were dead before it was all over.

Not to be contrary, but, I know for a fact it is sold openly in pharmacies in Tiajuana. With a MX doctor's prescription, I could show you at
least one pharmacy.

Howard, I thought you would go for at least "Emperor Howard, Czar Howard or at the minimum, his Royal Highness Howard."

On May 11th (Friday) 4 friends of mine staying in Loreto for only two days, decided to eat at Tio Lupes (1st time there)...Complained of very bad
service (slow and inattentive)..also said that the food was not that good and would never go back to that restaurant.. Maybe they are reducing their
staff due to the lack of tourists here in Loreto?

Tio Lupes is not one of my favorites, but so so food is a long way from drugging guests. That is a pretty damn serious charge with no proof whatever.

Hi Lee,
With your documentation I must stand corrected. Thank you.
But Rohypnol -was- utterly banned for several years.
Time for me to make some telephone calls...

this is a pretty serious charge, without anything specific to back it up. and adding a specific drug name, when the person stated that he felt
'drugged,' is a real stretch. I can't say the restaurant is my favorite, but I've eaten there without any problems and wouldn't hesitate to go there
again, especially if I brought my own fish (they do a great job with preparation).
and in answer to the original question, no, I've never heard of anything like this happening in Loreto.
