Mr. Pampas I presume...
Just had a very nice dinner with Justin and Brian. Because they were staying outside the Carnival area, and wanted to get back to plan the rest of
their trip, they didn't want to travel too far to eat. They asked to go to a local, authentic place for dinner. I had heard that there was an
Argentinian steak house near where they were staying, and when we walked in there, there was no one eating there. We all felt that was a bad sign, so
we headed out to Mr. Pampas, a local Brazilian style eatery that is very popular with professional locals, and had unlimited cuts of every meat
available. The boys definitely needed a protein boost, so they sampled everything from pollo to filet mignon. They are very polite young men, and
very unassuming. Brian is a wilderness first responder, and knows how to respond to any medical emergency, and the blisters were very minor and
healing. They are very excited about their next leg of the journey, and anxious to get on their way. I will meet up with them in a month or two to
see how they are progressing. I enjoyed their company and share their enthusiasm for anyone that wants to live their dream.

I felt it was important to show my support of living the healthy lifestyle, especially during National Heart Month.

not for nuthing, but isn't authentic and local a seafood joint or taco stand? South America is a long way from local.....
now, back you your regular programming.

I have been living in Ensenada a long time, Woody, and Pampas is the place to go for the local professionals, as I mentioned before. It was very
crowded with local Ensenadienses. What do you consider local for say, New York City? You are in the US, but many say New York has the best Italian,
Chinese and whatever part of the world's food you want to sample. Pampas is a very celebrated restaurant here in Ensenada. I think we all need to
get away with thinking about Baja as all beer, tacos, or pescado entero. Let's credit Ensenada as being a city with cultural diversion, and Baja,
especially in the larger cities like Ensenada, having native residents that enjoy the cultural diversity.

i guess i read it wrong, but So America is still a long walk away. Baja starts with tacos filled with everything imaginable.
why do you think they called them "burritos"? because they come with everything on their back!
if i want Peruvian i'll stay home or go to Ken's......

You know what, Woody, they told me they ate cones of beans on the way down the hill to El Sauzal. I am sure they will make you happy and eat your
idea of what Baja food is all the way through San Quintin, and south of San Quintin... burritos, tacos...frankly, I can't eat that food everyday of
the week and I live in Baja. Do you eat All-American, US food everyday of the week when you are in the States? Or do you want to eat Mexican food 365
days a year so you feel like you are in Baja? Beans, Beans and more beans, carne asada, fish tacos...all filled with manteca or fried in manteca...no
bueno!!

authentic, i guess!

Hola Doc, then you´ll need a few more years to discover authentic local food.
I can list you a dozen of places that are not taco joints, how about authentic comida oaxaquena in El Rinconcito Oaxaqueño, or pozole and antojitos
mexicanos in El parian, real local seafood with Marco Antonio or La avioneta. I guess you´ve never been to el Taco de Huitzilopochtli en Valle Verde
also. Las Cazuelas de Kiki or Las Palmas have excellent chefs. If you want to indulge yourself, go to El rey Sol.
But Pampas as representative of Ensenada food scene?, no way.

Well, that is a great idea...so then why don't you take them to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning to where you feel is the best place...I took them
somewhere where I thought they might enjoy the food. Come to think of it, Las Cazuelas has a great breakfast, their email is: whatiswest@gmail.com.

You guys all have the chance to take them for breakfast, lunch and dinner wherever you like, and let them be the judge of what they consider
authentic. Like I said, their email is whatiswest@gmail.com.

The owner passed away. I don't know if it's still open or not.

David, this place is very close to my home in Ensenada, in Valle Verde where I live. I remember in medical school, there was an Orthopedics professor
teaching us the musculoskeletal system who raved about the place but he used to go for a bowlful of entrails every year or so, which he said was full
of fat so he couldn't eat it often. Just the idea of entrails turned me off as I am not a huge fan of menudo, etc. Anyway, I just looked it up and
surprisingly Tillie Foster was there this year in January. Don't know if you know Tillie Foster, but she works at the San Nicolas Hotel in Ensenada,
and is the most active 82 year old lady I know. She is on her way to Puerto Vallarta and will be going to Guerrero Negro to see the whales in a few
months. She is also the liason known to the American Consulate and Sharp Health care as many of these presentations are given at the San Nicholas
hotel...also organizer of the Red Hat Ladies of Ensenada. She is a very sweet and friendly lady. Here is the link to her review of the restaurant
(also a map to the place) on Trip advisor. I will go there today and check it out and report back since two of the Nomads on this thread have raved
about it as it appears to have more than entrails. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g150770-d153696...

Woodenman:
you are full of bs. Tacos are not authentic. Kumeyaay Indians ate acorns, yucca, berries, fish and game. Local Indians did not farm/eat corn. It was
all hunting/gathering. No farming! No ranching!
P.s. the authentic food was crappy food. I would choose the Argentinian restaurant over a Kumeyaay restaurant!
