Best restaurant and entertainment near the Pyrimid Resort?
I'll be staying at the Pyrimid this Friday night and would like to go out for dinner and some music. Any ideas?
Must be in taxicab range. I might sip a margarita or 2.

La Fonda. There are others in the vicinity as well.
Ask Miss Keri, Mike. She'll send you in the right direction.

I know there is a place that has live music in Cantamar to the north. I can't think of the name though.....but it is a bit farther away than La Fonda.

Las Palmillas? Something like that, Geoff?

mike i always liked the Calafia for the view and cheap happy hour. but it has been panned here.
i'd go back. their cheezy dip with fried chorizo in it is scrumptious.

La Palapa de Jose at K58 just north of La Fonda is an option. Sometimes they have live music.
La Fonda ALWAYS has live music and the setting is very romantical. It was thirteen years ago today (Mexican Independence Day) that I had the first
date (second time around) with the woman who became my wife. We ate and danced at La Fonda and then ended up at Tijuana Tilly's after midnight for
more before we crossed north.
Too much fun!

I would highly recommend La Fonda. Good food, live music, and a short distance from the Pyramids. La Mision next door might have a small band
playing too. That's where I learned the Macarena.

Geoff, The restaurant you were referring to is called "The Palms" The food is good, as are the drinks and they do have live music.I'd go to La
Fonda if it were my choice tho. I have never had a bad meal there and the service is quite good now.Also as Crazy Cat said, muy romantico!!

Thanks everyone for directing him to La Fonda
That's where I'll send him.The ambiance is nice and the food delish. La Mision and La Palapa also have live music and you can walk from one to the
other and pick which one you like best. PS, Mike, if you want a romantic evening don't forget a duraflame type log for your fireplace ,k

I live within walking distance of La Fonda and wouldn't go there even if you were buying. The Palm is OK but the prices are
outrageous. My recommendation is Bahia Cantiles. Food is good, resonable prices and good music.
If you want to go into Rosarito, (a local taxi is about 2 bucks) then my choice would either be Suzanna's or Chabert's. Pricey but excellent
food.
I hate even the suggestion but for one night only the combo of Miguel de Hoyos / Alex DePue at Jose's Palapa can be kinda
interesting...Unless you're a musician.
WARNING: Go back a second night and you'll hear the exactly the same tunes.

Dave, it is good to see you on Nomad again by-the-way...
Where would you recommend for good dinner in that area (no music, just nice views and good food)... Our usual favorite in Chef Johnny at the Half Way
House... but the last two times we went there to eat is was closed (once for a wedding in May, and last Sept. 2, Tuesday... the whole place was
closed)... We ended up at Puerto Nuevo (our favorite there Chela's was also closed)... I know there is better, right?

Dave,
Could you elaborate a bit on what's wrong with La Fonda? I've been there a few times and liked it. But I'm just a "tourist" so don't really know
what's good there.
Please explain.

Wrong. I was there on a Tuesday in the mid sixties and had a great time.
Where were you that day?

The sign said will reopen in October at Halfway House... I asked Dave for a recommendation in that area for another place that has good food, good
views, etc. Do you have a recommendation? How about you Dennis, anyone else?
