Even the owners of the OLD MILL motel tell you not to eat there. Not only bad tasting, but also ransid and unproperly refrigerated.
Cielito Lindo works real well, but if you don't want to drive that far Pedro's Palapa on the main dirt road about a mile from the Mill. And as
suggested, Don Eddies next door is good also.

I agree with the good food at Don Eddies. Sorry the Old Mill was bad I last ate there a little over a year ago and it was good.

had more than one excellent breakfast at the Old Mill and one really crappy one at Don Eddy's where nothing that was on the menu seemed to be
available that day... But Pedro's Palapa is an excellent back up if you like clams, oysters or ceviche (and beer) because that's pretty much all
there in on the menu...and a pool table! I would not put much credit into the "hotel's suggestions" about the restaurant...they've been at battle
for years.

Yes, the owners of the Old Mill suggested we have dinner at Don Eddies. Had a fabulous lobster dinner with all the trimming for around $25. Then
spent the rest of the evening in the Old Mill bar taste testing "several" brands of tequila. It was a wonderful evening to say the least.

Several years back we stayed at Cielito Lindo and 4 of us were in one of the rooms playing cards all night. One of the waiters from the restaurant
would come by every hour to replinish our refreshments. Even brought us appetizers. How's that for service??? Then another time we rolled through
really late at night and there was no electricity or hot water. Still love the place.

Totally agree, Old Mill's food sucks. Don Eddies ok for breakfast. Cielito Lindo, great crab claws but sooooo messy. Had them cook up some halibut we
brought back from south of Bay of LA one time and that was excellent. Also, yes, margies are dangerous! As far as the rooms at Cielito Lindo, last
time we stayed there I felt I was going to get mold poisoning, I mean, REALLY. It was so bad I was a bit scared to breath it in all night. Swore I'd
come back for margies, but not staying there again. Oh, Old Mill has great rooms!

Whatever happened to the former owners of Old Mill Inn & restaurant? The parents lived a little north in a great home they were constructing
overlooking the ocean and the daughter and son in law ran the restaurant. Food & ambience were always top notch!

Cielito Lindo rooms have that excellent insecticide smell. In fact, after I slept there I was finally free of my life long crab lice infestation!

We used to stay at the Mill on the way home from Baja Sur but no more, 40 years of travel. It was good but 2 years ago it fell through the chitter.
I'm not sure why. Now we stay at the new place in San Q with good parking and a very plain but excellent restaurant.
Look at ttp://www.hotellavilla.biz/sanquintin/
In Guuerro Nigro we stay at Don Gus

go with bajagringo on this one; la jardines is a wonderful hotel and their daughter runs a great restaurant right next door...it's the turnoff just
after, (or just before, depending on which way you're going), the old mill.
