Dmytri's Back ? Not!
Second hand info:
Heard that Dmytri "took back" La Fondas. Also that he fired all of the staff.
Update:
We went to La Fonda's yesterday (Tuesday March 23rd). Dmytri is NOT back. However, one waiter we talked to said he may be back at some time in the
future.

so La Fonda will revert to its "old" menu? LOL
It would be nice to go back there without getting sick or fleeced. It really is the perfect location and layout and every guest I have taken there
really enjoyed it... even the roving roosters.

I'll stop by on Friday and check it out. Might have to force down a Bloody Mary while I'm there.

Service might be a little slow without any staff.
but I do agree about the layout and location thing.

La Fonda ... the ocean waves ... the chickens ... the view .. haven't been there in forever ....... I heard their Sunday brunches used to be delish
Now, if you happen to be in Ensenada for dinner, be sureto get the filet mignon at the HOTEL CORTEZ restaurant ... melt in your mouth and $15 ...

Keep us posted. The real problem was the awful staff. Attitude with a capital A. Not sure if it was the management or they just hate the touristas.

Everybody misses the point of the chickens. It was up to the customer to grab the little fryer by the neck, hold it high in the air and say, "This is
the one for me."
The waiter would take it off your hands and return with it in no time sizzleing on your plate in pieces.
Col. Sanders should try this.

only went to la fonda once. they had a sewage line break and stench was over powering, awful, horrendous. we decided not to take a seat, and they
tried to talk us into dining. could not believe with the incredible stench that they even were open that day. i am sure many of you think it is
fine, but first impressions are what they are. after smelling that i could never return. every time i drive by it, i think of sewage. isn't that
nice?

The chickens were never a problem for us. Neither are the dogs or the cats or even the mouse that visited our room once. They didnt have attitude
problems.
And just in case you all were wondering, this attitude was observed throughout many years of visits, not just a few bad ones. We put up with it
because of the location and good food. Once the food went downhill we were outta there.

IMO, there wasn't an appreciable difference in food quality or service after Joe left. The difference was...no Joe. He was/is the best 'front of the
house' restaurateur, ever.
