The pizza at Costco is excellent, both from the snack bar and the stuff you take to bake at home (that's the rectangular pizza in the meat dept). Serves up a lot of people at a great price!

Ok, I checked the Ensenada Costco today and they do indeed carry the dried blueberries (arandanos in Spanish) for ~125 pesos (very close to the US $ of 10.99) and the dried mango. I didn't price the mango but DARN that mango is GOOD!!!

Hard to imagine that for a mere 8 bucks more, you can buy a liter of Bombay Sapphire at the duty-free store in SY. Pairs nicely with meat or fish!

I went to Costco yesterday and they had cases of Heinekin in the can for 119 pesos. Now I know it is anti Baja to drink this brand but for that price, I couldnt pass up a couple of cases. BTW, a 12 pack is 109.

Heinekin huh? I would imagine that went down well with a certain Baja businessman who happens to sell books....

We purchased the dried blueberries recently and found them to be VERY strong flavored to a detriment. Impossible for us to eat alone and we used it very sparingly in cold cereal. Probably OK in baking needs.

The dried mango is, w/o a doubt, the best dried fruit I have ever eaten. That stuff is pure gold in the mouth.i

We tried the thin crust pizza at Il Giardino in Todos Santos a couple of weeks ago. It is run by the Borghini family. Our local Italian friends tell us that this pizza is the "real thing." The pizza was good, so was the staff and the rest of the menu. However we much prefer the snack bar pizza at San Lucas Costco - cheaper, bigger, & more flavorful. We buy one of those suckers and it lasts us a week. Wash it down with a Pacifico too.

addicted to costco also


but want to share a cautionary note about one difference between costcos in the u.s. and (at least) the ensenada costco. if you purchase something (e.g. a portable l.p. heater) and then try and return it because it is not working, they will give you a VERY hard time if it is past 15 days after purchase date.
:mad::fire:

having shopped at costcos on the other side for a couple of decades, i was shocked. but eventually i remembered, it is more mexico than costco. :( we did, eventually prevail, but only after finding a second manager who recognized us and the fact that we shop there almost weekly and recently purchased a refrigerator.

so caveat emptor:bounce:....

Right on, Lili -------

Customer service in Mexico is still on the slow track. Years ago, I returned a sweater to Dorians and I had to stand ther watching this marooon inspect every stitch in the garment. Returning was unheard of then. Not much has changed. Now it's a test of patience. Never give in.

Not so here in Los Cabos.....I have never had any problems with returning anything. I buy clothes and if they dont fit, they take them back no questions asked.

Sometimes I get the feeling that BCS is more in line with the times than BCN, or Ensenada anyway. Maybe because many of the merchants here have been just that for a long time.
