Before I go back to El Nido
Anyone here been to the San Felipe El Nido in the last few weeks? I want to make sure they haven't screwed up the food.
So many places in Sacramento has skimped to the point of "it's crapola".

Still the same. The gal at the register still laughs at me when I pull the little flashlight out of my pocket to read the menu. Food hadn't changed as
of two weeks ago.

Okay Ron....
Tell me this 
How "does" that door greeter know when to open that door? It's a game I have played and lost every time. Ask Jeanette!
I'll sneak in to the left...the door greeter opens the door!
I'll sneak in to the right...the door greeter opens the door!
I'll come up from the rear lot close to the wall like a Ninja...the door greeter opens the door!
See you next week end after this one.

We ate at El Nido just before New Years. I had the TBone and some shrimp. It was fair, the steak not that tender, not flavored in any way and the
shrimp was cooked in foil with butter and garlic. They put the foil and everything on my plate alongside the steak but the shrimp juice leaked all
over the place.
The soup was really good and spicy though.
However, my wife had the combination plate with chile rellano and it was very good with a very spicy chile rellano.
I think we'll just cook at home next time.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

True tale.
Years ago I had to take the longhorns off my dune buggy..and then a CJ-5 Jeep...after my Mulege compadre, Manuel, told
me the implication'.
But when you hang one on your house.. it just means you're horny.
Well...Hey, it's Baja! ...possibly si, possibly no....

El Nido...Save your money. Went there last week for my last time. I always get the ribeye, it is too inconsistent for what they charge. My steak was
tough and 4 other guys got the ribeye and said it wasn't good either. The following night we ate at the resturaunt at El Capitan Hotel. It was the
best N.Y. steak I've ever had in San Felipe and it was 12.95 instead of 18.95 at the Nido. Ask for Chevy he is a host there and made sure our meal
was on point. At the NIdo for a party of 9 our tab was well over 250.00 and at El Capitan it was under a 100.00 including drinks and desert...

Yes, 1bobo, like my first post said, it was Mulege's El Nido. I like the outside architectural design, too, but the interior was too dark and somber
for me. I like a little more light and cheer when eating my steak.
Some old amigos of mine worked at this El Nido when it was built and first opened around 1987-88. Among them was chef Ramon, later to become the
master chef of Saturday Carnitas fame at Danny's.
It did not remain open for long..for many reasons.
