Chumpos and a little extra protein
I know! The pics are big....will revise this soon today. Sorry folks.
I like to try a few new eateries whenever I travel.
Baja is no exception.
But this Chumpos is!
Located in San Felipe, down the street from the Green House Restaurant. It serves as Thrifty's Ice Cream as well. Outside seating is nice. The head
waiter is a riot....must be on happy meds.
So I ordered hotcakes, bacon, and sunny side up eggs. Grand Slam some would say. Oh...a good cup of coffee.
The hot cakes were perfectly thick and round (yes....cooked in a pan mold) ........perfectly made for spare tires of your 4W truck! Dry as hell,
tasteless....even ol Sparky Dog walked away from a offering. Well...I am indeed starving and must eat.
Pouring the maple syrup onto tires....er...hot cakes....a freaking fly comes with the pour. Mmmmm good Hot cake McFly.
I do recommend this joint? Need I say?

Flies in the syrup. That is gross.
Remember the old Brando movie, Viva Zapata? Brando and Zorba commenting on the flies in the pulque? That was gross too.

Yeah DENNIS.....that fly came right out of the dispenser. Bugs dont bother me a lot....but bugs in my food....
I tell our visitors that stay with us in Baja....never leave your cola container uncovered. Flys in Coke are bad. Hornets are worst! Cigarette butts
are hell! (yeah...did that too)

 The place had to look like a Jackson Pollock Painting.

I took a drink of my soda after a bee crawled in it (unbeknownst to me of course). I got stung on the lip before I could spit it out, swelled up like
an empenada. I haven't been able to drink soda from a can without worrying about it since......dt

many people I know like Chumpos
Deno you said the honey you looked at was Toooo filtered. Now you get unfiltered syrup and you don't like it. Any way to keep you satisfied?
I will skip syrup there.

Don't worry about me mike, I learned my lesson long ago, bees don't like beer, it's been a long time since I've had a soda....

If the ever present flies bother you try La Cabana. Clean, good food, nice people and the prices aren't bad. On Ensanada two blocks off of Mar
Caribe.(toward the ocean)

We had breakfast at Chumpos last week also with the same results on the hot cakes, fortunately no flies in syrup but thought it also was watery &
tasteless.
Try the greenhouse just across the street next time mcfez, we have ordered the same fare there & it was great & no flies in ur food plus less
$$$$!!
