El Taco de Huitzilopochtli: Nomad get together 3/11/07
I and a few other nomads will be dining at
El Taco de Huitzilopochtli
Sunday March 11 , 2007 from 2 till closing.
I would like to see as many of you as can make it to this gem of a dining establishment. You will not regret it. This is the place made famous by
David Edell on Amigo's de Baja.
We can't wait to see you all there.
Here is a link to a thread years ago from David K, and a nice picture.

Like he says in the caption. A truly awesome experience. I hope to see you all there.

I will be there. This will be a great opportunity for all of us in the area to get to know each other.
Hose A, Sylens, BB and Vince, Bigboy, Bigmike, Rich'nLinda, Iflyfish, Bajaguy, Fred who had the best bar at the Buf, and I just ran out of
memory.
This could be fun. Let's do it.

From my Baja GPS web page (waypoint is at Map Datum NAD27 Mexico): El Taco de Huitzilipotchtli restaurant: 31°53.10'/ 116°36.28'
Unique dining... food prepared like in Oaxaca, Pueblo, and Aztec kitchens! Finish your meal with their awesome flan and a glass of Pulque/ Mezcal

I am not going south for the race, which is in Ensenada that weekend, and I already have a dinner planned with my Norwegian (Viking) Fish Club the
10th... If not for that, I would love to be there...
I have told Baja Angel about the place and I highly recommend any Nomad in the mood for a unique and inexpensive dining experience to join you guys!
The photo shown in the link above was taken in 2001 when I went there with Fishin' Rich, elgatoloco & BajaBarb, and David Eidell... here's more

I would like to meet up with you Nomads and tip, oh I mean drink a few with you. The food will just be the thing to do in between drinking, right??
If I can find a hotel that still has some rooms left for sure I will link up. I have been wanting to ride my motorcycle down from Tecate to Ensenada,
so this just might be my excuse to do so. I have stayed at a number of hotels in Ensenada over the years. Now,the only thing that has really changed
with Ensenada is me as I seem to have gotten older in appearance than some of the hotels I have stayed in . Last year I stayed with a few of my friends and son in the San Nicolas hotel down. We just went down to get some
fish and back out. I hear that the Mision Santa Isabel is also good but cost more. What hotels are by this El Taco de Huitzilopochtli?? bajafun777

No accomodations in that corner of town.
Minnow should be getting back with us soon on his fine invitation. It seems to have stirred lots of interest.

El Taco de Huitzilopochtli is only open from 10 till 4 or 5 on Sundays. I believe they do rent the place out for parties on Saturdays. It is only
open Saturdays and Sundays.
The food is authentic Aztec hence the name. It is far from a taco stand. They slow cook Barbacoa, and Birria for days in advance. They have all
sorts of native squashes and other vegies made into things that the average person never gets to try. All of it is delicious.
Dennis, I think this is all the organization we need. All Nomads and guests feel free to stop by and say hi, get there early though or my wife might
have eaten all the food.
Saludos

El Taco de Huitzilopochtli is located in the Valle Verde district of Ensenada, the far north east corner. This is a Segundo area, so after we eat we
can walk off the food by checking out the Second hand stores. Lots of interesting finds there.
I will post directions later.

Directions;
Reforma/ Mex 1 (they are the same) North to Ambar...There will be a new AM/Pm on the far right corner
Take a right onto Ambar to the end. This is Paseo de Valle Verde
Left on Valle Verde two blocks then take another left on Rosa.
It is just down on the left hand side.
Here is a link to a good map of ensenada.

When you are scraping the tender leaves of the Huauzontles off the stem, think of me. 
I am sorry to miss out on the fine food and festivities!
Have a shot or two of the 'house' mezcal for me as well.
It is great 'for the digestion'.

Tom, are your directions for northbound (Punta Banda) Nomads?
If entering Ensenada southbound (from the north), use the inland route where Hwy. 1 splits.
Correct me, but I recall making a left (east) turn at the first Pemex station after the highway becomes a city street... then taking that street or
whatever it merges into to keep heading east all the way across town to the far east side... to a T intersection (at the base of a hill), turn left
(north) and go about three blocks (?)... the restaurant is on a left (west) side street, on the left (south) side, midblock.
I really would enjoy the taste treat... You guys have fun! See if my Viva Baja sticker is still on the fridge!
