got this from the S.F. website,nice little tidbit
Last Saturday afternoon, the crush of people trying to get into the town center for food and drink following the Baja 250 was so great that we gave up
on all the usual places to have lunch. Instead, we went to a little backstreet gem to sample the chicken mole (shown on the left - chicken cooked with
an incredible sweet chocolate herb sauce) and mixiote de rez (an aztec dish, literally a bag of meat, with very tender morsels of beef in a broth that
you will want to sip with your spoon). The dishes were superb and the host, Marcellino, wonderfully attentive and eager to tell you all about Mexican
regional cooking. Start off with the tortilla soup, the flavors that it leaves on the palate are ideal preparation for the main course and, of course,
have a glass or two of jamaica, very good for the kidneys! It is such a pity that more Americans are not sufficiently adventurous to get off the
beaten path and experience some of these delightful little restaurants. No alcohol is served here but you are welcome to bring in your own beverages.
By the way, the name of the place is La Fonda Los Portales and it is located one block inland behind the tourist office on Manzanillo Street. They are
open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; prices $5-10. Try it, you will like it.
