PANADERIA EL BOLEO
Sta. Rosalia's famous boleo (french bread) bakery is still operating ... 105 years old this year. Built in 1901 in this French-looking mining town,
it still produces some of the tastiest treats this side of my wife's oven...and you know my wife makes some real special treats!
Early this morning we took a trip to 'Cochinia' which is a local pet name for Sta. Rosalia..not sure of my spelling but pronounced 'Coach-an-knee-ah'.
This shows more of my misspent time in Mulege. I know a lot of slang!
A visit to this town always includes a stop at the Boleo Bakery. I had to look at the ovens again...In 1974, I was very pleased to have been given
permission to turn some boleos in the old ovens using long paddles. Today I would repeat that old event.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

These are diet killers.
I tried to ask what these delicious filled treats were called, but my mouth was too full.

Their checkout is always crowded...
I bought 20 boleos, 18 buns (hamburger types), and 4 sugared doughnuts (they did not survive the trip home). The total was 110p. What a deal!

You always meet a friend at the Boleo Bakery
Who did I run into but my old amigo, Saul, owner/operator of the La Palapa and El Candil cafes in Mulege. I sure wish he would cheer up.

ummmm i can almost smell it from here Pompano, that place is the best. i bet they could do killer pizzas in those old fired brick ovens.
i hate to drive there but with a bread stop its usually worth it.

I highly recommend this sidetrip. They are very generous in their tours of the ovens which are like a step back in time.

An absolute stop when going through Sta. Rosilia. Makes the trip south or north all the more delicious.

What is the name of the restaurant with the fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy? It is on the right side of the street just past the train
as you are entering town.
This whole thread has me starving.
Thought I would add this in case you want something more than bread and sweets, which are great for the road but do not make a whole meal.

Bajajudy, being but a mere male, easily tempted, especially through my stomach, you have won my heart.
Yea! Where is that chicken place?

Maybe you're thinking of Mrs. Knott's.
She has fried chicken and a train.

I know the place but I can't remember it's name either. They make a wonderful dip there for the chips that they serve. It's a white sauce made of
clams and other delightful ingredients. I enjoy that more than the main course.
They have mining decor along the walls and shelves of the dining room as I recall.

I believe you are talking about...
...Restaurant Terco's Pollito. It's right across the street from a small park, Parque Morelos.
We've had many great meals there, BBQ'ed cluck-cluck, Lobster tails, and breakfast meals, too! All yummy...
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
