Chances
If it is real Lousy the first time, none. If just mediocre may bee another chance.
Authentic Mexican food would be a hard one to nail down. I have lived on the border of Mexico from Texas to California most of my life And the food
is very much influenced buy the individual regions Tex Mex Being my Favorite.
After living in the Ensenada Area for over 10 years full time My favorite Mexican Restaurant is a little hole in the wall place in Lake Side Ca
Called La Palapa,

Sounds like a segregated place where only authentic Mexicans are allowed. Must have to show your papers to get in.

(Note: I think Bajahowodd somehow got the names, Pescador and Pompano, mixed up.)
Good luck on your restaurant search in La Paz, Pescador. Sounds like good duty. 
Finding a good place to eat is always a good endeavor. This morning, I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's....
Thinking of what I consider authentic Mexican food... I have a couple traditional Mexican dishes that I really love. And....I'll cast another vote
for Tex-Mex cuisine.
My two cents. If I was looking...and if I could find a restaurant in La Paz... that makes home-made chili colorado, I would
certainly be a regular.
Just thinking about this next dish makes me hungry.
I was at a Las Cruces, New Mexico rancho for a few months way back when, and fell in love with...among other things...'chili colorado'. I thought it
was great from the first taste. It's certainly a traditional Mexican dish, but the girl I knew said it was her family's recipe and was 'Tex-Mex'.
Still my favorite today, but hard to find at times and takes a while to prepare properly. The only different part of her recipe than the
'traditional' was...NO tomatoes and used only dried whole chilis, no powdered stuff. It made for a thicker sauce, not watery like with the powdered.
Delicious...a hearty red sauce, meaty, wrap or dip your fresh home-made tortillas in it...and enjoy.
For a large party, she once persuaded me to try my hand with her using a huge Dutch oven and darned if it didn't come pretty good. It was a hit with
the large group at this picnic, and they all raved over it. Those were great times and the festive Mexican meals were always a huge affair. Over the
years since those days at Las Cruces, I've made that recipe many times on my Coyote Bay patio. To my knowledge, everybody loves it.
Maybe I should have posted this in the Recipes forum, but hey...
So Pescador, if you can find a restaurant featuring this, I'd say you've found a place that knows about authentic Mexican cuisine. Bon appetite!
Here's photo of the dish...nothing fancy, just good wholesome food. I believe I'll cook some up this weekend. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Roger,
Found your chili colorado. Got the recipe.
But surprisingly the dish didn't get that high a ranking as you can see here
.Chili Colorado, Authentic Mexican Style , 3.0 out of 5 based on 260 ratings
Rate This
Rating: 3.0/5 (260 votes cast)
Tender and juicy chunks of beef slow simmered in a delicious authentic Mexican style chili colorado (red) sauce. The sauce is made from a blend of dry
and fresh chilis, onion and peppers. Then combined with slow simmered chuck steak until the beef is fall apart tender. Wrap it in a warm tortilla with
guacamole, shredded lettuce, cilantro and onions, YUM! Add some refried beans and rice and dig in!

Ed, I'd say those advanced taste buds are way too sophisticated to compare with mine.
....I just eat what I like...stupid me.
I'm glad to be part of the 3 out of 5 who like it!

Pompano,
I agree on Chili Colorado being one of the great dishes.
I would add Chili Verde and Pozole too.
