If I was a Mexican, (I'm polish) and I wanted to make some money I would show up in catavina or maybe santa Rosalia, Mulege with a boatload of ULSD
diesel for sale. I for one would probably pay double so that I can bring my new truck down and enjoy it. Where is that mexican entrepreneur?

I really have to say that I'm miffed by that simply because, in my opinion, there is nothing at Mama Espinosas That can add anything to the world of
food. It's pedestrian, at best.
I'm guessing that Javier was looking for a photo op at an iconic restaurant.

I followed Javiers trip down to San Juanico and the photo he posted of his lunch at Mama's was the only photo he posted of food his entire trip.
I'm guessing that he actually enjoyed the meal.
But I'm only guessing that...

It's very popular on this board to flame Mama's, but I have never had anything but an enjoyable meal there. Not the best - but always enjoyable.

We don't eat there often, but also never had a bad meal... It is a special place founded by a special lady!

My understanding is that it's all good to go but they need to widen the highway there to four lanes so all the traffic and exit can enter safely.
But, just so this stays consistent with virtually every other innocuous thread I also understand that the environmentalists have filed an injunction
on the impact of that much more asphalt on ambient summertime temperatures and it's impact on shifting high pressure systems just that much further
north, which has been proven to be contributing to the ongoing severe drought in the SW.

Widen the road for safety? Uhh, what about the shoulder drop-off at the GN Pemex?

I am not into flaming anyone, It's all about choices. we used to stop at Mama Espinosas I love her Lobster stew. we stayed at Baja Cactus when there
was just a few rooms the price was only 26$ and we fueled at the Pemex there because that was the last game for many miles But they now have many more
choices on that road and some are better and some are worse. I commend anyone along that stretch of road that try to make life better for themselves
and others but I owe no one any special allegiance .

Nice family. Nice people.
But I have to comment on the fact that many of the so-called defenders of the restaurant simply said they never had a bad meal there.
That may be the truth.
But, never a great meal.
That, again, is why I wonder just why Javier would stop there.
To be fair, as someone who has traveled the extent of the peninsula for many years, there is most likely not a great meal ( not saying a good meal)
between Ensenada and La Paz.

Saying one had a great meal is interesting. I have only had what I would call something great to eat a few times. The shrimp ceviche at the Solamar
hotel in Cabo was great. I have a friend who always tells me this place and that place has great food but when I eat there it's OK or it's good but
not what I'd call great. For a place to have great food I'd have to want to go out of my way to go there. I use to think El Nino's in San Felipe had
great steaks until the last few years. The last steak I had there last year was as tough as shoe leather. I'm not a picky eater, I'll eat almost
anything. But great food in my opinion is few and far between and that goes for the restaruants in the states too. The fast food fries have went down
hill when the took the lard out. KFC chicken taste worse now too and I can't too much of the special sauce on my burgers know matter who makes it. I
like mustard on my burger. When Am/PM left San Felipe the burgers and hotdogs took a nose dive. I want my meal to be satisfying and if it is great all
the better.

I'm guessing that you were talking about Solmar.
These folks operate several restaurants off site of there property such as Romeo Y Julietas. Perhaps the only hotel operator in Cabo to operate off
site restaurants.
But, cynical me just figures that the can hype those places on site and get the limos to take folks there.
Realize that one of their Cabo properties, which may actually have the greatest number of rooms in town (and is a timeshare) is Playa Grande.
