Progress makes it no contest. I won't diss Mama's or Baja Cactus. But the simple fact is that the greater San Quintin area has experienced immense
growth, and job opportunities. The money is there. So, enterprising folks have built really nice hotels and great restaurants. Probably 5 or so hotels
that are worthy of a stay, and at least that many restaurants. Admittedly, i favor Jardines for both.
But, that said, old timers gotta recall when Motel Chavez, pre- renovation was just about the top place in the area. Progress.
There are serious choice to be made in the area.
Ditto on Jardines, for those who don't HAVE to be on the beach, it's pleasant, quiet, reasonable and the restaurant is run by the people who had Viejo
San Quintin. Baja Cactus is fine if it fits into your schedule and the Pemex is one of very few honest ones in Baja, but Mama's is more a nostalgic
memory of the past than a good place to eat now.
On the other hand, those who seem to devise their Baja trip based sinply on milegae and time, will still stay and eat in El Rosario. Fine either way.

Ditto on progress. We have found a number of great choices in the Vale San Quintin to eat and sleep.

Baja Rat, I am sure that the people at Mama Espinosa's are very nice people as I have heard many stories about them, but that does not excuse the food
that they serve after 3 trips south in the last couple of years and having the food they serve at the prices they charge, it is crap!!
I live in Baja and I know what good food is and I have every right to make my statements as to how I feel, we stayed at Baja Cactus and it was a great
place, we ate at Jesse's place in La Paz and it was great along with many other place as we travelled north and south this past April, all the meals
with exceptions of Mama Espinosas were very good, so what is the problem in my reporting what I feel?
Mike

Never a problem, Mike. Not here. Say what's on your mind......as you did.

Is this thread ever going to die....??
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I think this string needs to be purged abruptly and violently as my Burritos de Jaiba were, all over the tile floors of The Baja Cactus Hotel on that
fateful night.
