Santo Remedio in Guerrero Negro
We found this restaurant last August after we had dinner, so this trip was our first meal. It is a very attractive restaurant
located on the north east corner of the block directly behind the supermarket. The hours are 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Fish and chicken dinners were 90p,
the large scallops are 140p. Totopos with a great smoked fish spread, bread, and soup included. The food was very tasty and described as Oaxacan
style. (The mole sauce had a hint of anise.) We'll visit it again on the next trip through.

Interesting, today I just downloaded some pictures and was going to write a review. Great to hear about the dinners.
We also just found this place and had breakfast--a bit pricey, but we really enjoyed it. On our next trip down, we will definitely have dinner there.
They said they have been open for about six months, but there are now signs on the highway and the main street which guides one there---and it is a
good find.
Follow the main street and turn right one block past the El Morro.
The outside
The inside
The Bar---it was too early for the bar, but the manager insisted we see it and take pictures.
The General Manager, Noe who was with the Malarrimo before.
Carmen and Carolina---the cooks who came out to see if we enjoyed our meal. They both have great smiles, but I could not get them to smile for the
pictures.
The young, very efficient waiter---I forget his name. 
Before the breakfast, they serve some toast with date jam---very good,
The specitalites of the house were 60 pesos each.
Here is the potato omelett ---the nopales side dish was also very good. John said it tasted a little like okra and a gumbo, but since I HATE okra,
I disagree. 
Here is the house special omelett with white cheese, mushrooms and chard. We were quite surprised to see the real chard.
And out back, they are building some hotel rooms around the courtyard.
We will definitely go back.
Twogringos, really happy to hear about the dinners----sounds like the hip is doing well?
Hope to see you again in Bahia Asuncion.
Diane

I was scrolling down and all of a sudden stopped and said....I know that guy!
Noe from Malirrimo...I always thought that he was the nicest waiter there.
Good luck to these people. Will check it out the next time we are in GN

Yah, I remember Noe, too, from Malarrimo. He does a very good job, and has a very pleasant personality.

This new restaurant is owned by dear dear friends of ours...Sirenita used to live in this house with them. They are wonderful people and top notch
business folks. The quality of food, cleanliness and service are second to none so if you want to spoil yourself...do try it....and say hello from us.

Noe
Well, from waiter to general manager and seems to be doing a really good job. He is very attentive and friendly.
Can't wait to see him---I told him I was going to put his picture on a forum where some might recognize him! He will be thrilled., especially if you
go in, say hello, and eat there. 
Oh, he also mentioned that they are working on a website for the place.

Just had a great meal at Santo Remeido tonight and can say that it is everything that you could expect. Excellent service, food and ambiance. We had
the arrachera and it was superb along with excellent soup and rice with pomegranite! Great chocolate flan and very reasonable price. It may displace
Malarrimo as our favorite in GN.

We stumbled on the place on the way back from Mulege. Great food, service and atmosphere. They have obviously put a lot of pesos and effort into the
restaurant and advertising. We were the only ones there that nite so we were hopeful it would catch on and prosper. Sounds like they are on their way.
Will definitely go back.

Since we are in GN quite often, we sure hope this place keeps on going. It is good to hear that more and more people are enjoying it.

We drove by Remedio this past Monday night to check it out. Looks VERY nice. We were just too full to stop in and eat. We had eaten lunch at
Restaurant Tuxpan in Santa Rosalia earlier in the day, and got way more lunch than we expected! Will write review in next couple of days.
We will definitely eat at Remedio on our next trip in about three weeks!

A very selfish bump for this review. We just ate there two more times and were not disappointed.
So since it is whale season, and more people will be going to Guerrero Negro, I thought I would bump this thread---
It is selfish because we want them to be sucessful so we can continue to eat there.

San Remedio directions
If we can make it to GN, I'd like to try this restaurant on our way down tomorrow. Jdtrotter's directions say "turn Right one block past El Morro".
What is El Morro and will it be obvious where to turn?

There are more signs now. The El Morro is a hotel and you cannot miss it. It is several blocks after entering the town.
Hope you enjoy it---we always do!

We made it to Santo Remedio a couple of nights ago and it was a nice suprise. Neat decor, nice people, easy parking, and easy to find with large
signs guiding you off the main drag in G.N. (and thanks Diane!) .
Sorry I don't have a good restaurant review vocabulary, so I'll just say that it was very good. Highlights were the creamy carrot soup and the flan
with cinnamon,nutmeg, and a rum sauce- Mmmmmm mmmmm.
We were the only patrons in the restaurant. But then, highway felt pretty empty too, especially the stetch between El Rosario and Guerrero Negro where
we probably only passed 10 vehicles going the opposite direction.
Hopefully we can help spread the word about this restaurant

GREAT---glad you enjoyed it. Since we are there several times a year, we really hope this place works---do spread the word.
It is the off-season in a lot of ways. GN has a lot more tourists during whale season.
