Baja's Best in EL ROSARIO is a hidden gem
You gotta stop in at Baja's Best in EL ROSARIO the next time through. Ed and Yolanda Lusk and family run a clean and cozy business - a few rooms if
you're lucky - so luxurious with pillows, sofas, large room, big TV. The grounds have a patio, grass lawn with shade structures, a great view of the
arroyo, locked gate. They have a bar and restaurant - extensive menu, priced right. Coffee in the morning. It's a charming place with photos,
fossils, "baja stuff" and good conversation/information. They can arrange fishing or other tours too.
bajabest@hotmail.com
phone 616 165-8656
or 011 52 (616) 8656 from US
They're on the right, almost all the way through town, yellow building.
PS: I took past forum advice and enjoyed Jardines restaurant in San Quintin on the way home - had the shrimp fettucini and happy hour margarita price!
Took one to go to enjoy at Los Olivos campground, which was also a very pleasant surprise. At 30 pesos per person and hot showers you can't go wrong
- spic and span. There were only 2 other campers when I was there.

No... she spelled Rosarito correctly. The place where Ed's restaurant is was accidentally typed wrong... She will fix it and have a laugh... It is
what is called an honest mistake. Happens to all of us.

Nice stats there woody! What did you do, take a poll? I thought it was Rosarito Beach and just wondered which direction she was traveling in.
Thanks David for clearing this up, and I`m sure the owners of Baja`s Best thank you too.

Ya know.....Baja (and all of Mexico) has a ton of memory/tongue twisters.... After 22 years I am starting to separate the El Rosarios from the
Rosaritos and the Santa Rosalias and the Rosallilliitaliaas
Don't believe everything you think....

I'm glad I had the error pointed out, thanks David. I wasn't doing Ed and Yolanda much of a favor by steering people to Rosarito looking for their
place!!!
Another laugh - I noticed at the end, somehow, my "spi c and span" turned into “Hispanic and span” (!) – yeah, that too! Here it is:

You are welcome Cindi... it is all about friends helping friends here... sad that a just a few people desire to be unfriendly.
Kat, I have plenty of maps that show where Ed's Baja's Best is... but I think you can find it (my maps or the place)!

Esposa y mi had a fine dinner at Baja's Best a few nights ago. The place is a real find. It's a long, low, yellow building on the west side of the
highway at the south end of town. Ed had caught some ling cod the day before and Yoli prepared it garlic & butter style. She kept a cup over the
rice on the plate so it was piping hot when she served the plates . . . a very nice touch I appreciated, as I despise cold rice.
We passed on the rooms as they seemed rather overdone and pricey for a quickie, overnight stay, and instead got a room at the motel across the street
which, despite its unfortunate name, "Turista," is also a good find. The rooms are new, American style, good bed and shower, and only 300 pesos a
night.
I've always liked El Rosario, and now have two more reasons to appreciate the town.

Agree... we have seen Ed put a lot into the restaurant including the remodel about 2 years ago... Food is good. The past issues some Nomads had with
house pets in the eating area, and flies in the summer seems to be handled better.
When Baja Cactus (and the west half of El Rosario) had no water, we also stayed at the Turista Motel (Turista does mean tourist, and is not only slang
for diarrhea)... If they complete the building of a restaurant in front, hope they pick a different name!

Classic Woody
No ones holding their breath for your New years resolution.
Spelling matters. Some people are involved with precise work.
I certainly think DK's high level of precision and detailed record keeping will serve the rescue effort for Mike well today.
As an equipment operator, you may know a few things about elevations.
How's the DK bashing going? Got any trash talk today or will you wait till Mike gets out?
No worries
