Best huevos rancheros
One of our favorites is Nueva Chapala about 1 Km south of the turnoff to Coco's and Gonzaga on Hwy 1. The huevos rancheros is served on a crisp flour
tortilla with a sauce that can't be beat. I have never had better, and I've had lots. We stop for huevos rancheros for breakfast or lunch. It's great!
The truck stop ambiance is perfect and the laminated picture puzzles as art on the walls adds a great touch. Try it
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

When we were traveling around doing research for my husbands guide book, we made huevos rancheros the standard bearer for side of the road
restaurants. The best I have ever had was at the Happy Shrimp in Lopez Mateos.
We eat them weekly at Rigo's here in San Jose. $30 not the best but pretty good and the cheapest you can find around here.
The worst I ever had was at Rossi's between La Paz and Cuidad Constitucion mainly because I got huevos Mexicanos instead.
If you order from a senora or senorita, always order huevo ranchero. Not huevos...or so I have been told.
One of the other standards is beans. If the frijoles are good usually the rest is also.
Provecho

We have enjoyed excellent huevos rancheros at International Rice and Beans. I order them with a side of some of the best chile rellenos you can get
anywheres!

Huevos Rancheros at a sidewalk table at the Ole Cafe in Loreto on a sunny Sunday morning while checking my e-mail (WiFi) and watching the cattleboat
Canuks and Gringos rush around taking pictures and buying every trinket in sight.
Priceless!!!!

We were just having a family discussion trying to recall a BAD order of huevos rancheros we have had in Baja. We are stumped. We have come to the
conclusion that it's just that some are better then the others.
Keri, have you had the chile rellenos at Rice and Beans? Fabulous!

Uh oh, one more social faux pas to worry about.
Good thing we always get Huevos a la Mexicana!
Wait a minute. Don't tell me...

It's pretty hard to screw up standard Mexican fare if you use fresh ingredients. That's the key.
Mexican cooking, excluding complex sauces, isn't complicated. But even at it's best it's still average.
I've never had great huevos rancheros that I still wouldn't trade for average eggs Benedict.

That's quite a difference Dave
But I think those muffins are hard to come by down here. Try huevos motule?os at La Fuente though. Pretty close.

You can buy 'em all day long at COSTCO. 
Or here's a thought:
You could make them!

We get ours
in the states. (I have a favorite kind) that costco doesn't carry. Besides, we hardly ever go to costco when Commercial is such a good store. Didja ever see the Mantequilla girl?
But I was referring to restaurants serving Eggs Benedict. Maybe Mallarimo and some of the ones in Rosarito but the restaurants we generally
frequent, they are unheard of.
Carol said once that the restaurant next to the Pemex in San Ignacio had really good Huevos Rancheros. Not my thing. I like chiles rellenos!

For something different in Chiles Rellanos, check out the restaurant at Riviera Del Mar RV Park in Loreto.
I liked the ones stuffed with tuna.

The Tropicana in San Jose has a breakfast Chile Relleno which is like an inside out one. The eggs are on the inside of the chile and the cheese is on
the outside, along with ranchero sauce.
The recipe is in Ann Hazard's new cookbook, "Cooking with Baja Magic Dos" which is available from our web site.
Provecho

I think I like the huevos rancheros even better at Paola's, across the street from the Loncheria. Although I must admit, I like the toasted tortilla
base at L.L.M. But I like the ranchero sauce better at Paola's.
I am going to try and get the girls at Paola's to do a crispy tortilla base, next time I'm there.
Guess I'll try Magana's next......

How do you order your machaca at Magana's? Con Huevos or con verduras as largely a separate meat dish?
I like machaca con huevos but have had machaca with onions, tomatoes and peppers served separate from the eggs and I prefer this method.
