SPLASH K52
Great restaurant.Agapo, the chef and co-owner with Nicholas- is very receptive to guests wants. He is now preparing spinach salads with apple slices,
walnuts and strawberries. YUM! Fried chicken, Sizzling button mushrooms, and oyster shooters.
They serve all kinds of Mexican food and Gringo food. Just ask and you will receive!
What a great family!! The Santo's

Shush!
And I mean it.
It is hard enough to get a table there already.
Fabulous food.
Incredible servers who remember everything about you and welcome you like family.
DO NOT tell anyone else about this beautiful, oceanfront magical place that has great, live music by incredibly talented performers.
Shush!

This is Funny
That a small restaurant, 40 miles south the border, off on a dirt road, next to a very sucessful drug rehab facility (CRREAD), is so busy that people
can't get a table and have to wait.
Yes, the bar and the music is loud and noisy.
They must be doing something right

food is excellent though.....

Try to plan you dining experience near local high tide time. You'll see why the restaurant is called SPLASH!
Food is good, and go along with Terry28's senior assessment. Lots of retirement communities nearby.

South of Cantamar and north of the Half Way House... right at the toll highway access... just south of the Cantamar sand dunes and where the free road
goes from 4 lanes to 2 lanes.
Do you need a Google Earth image???

If you like fishing, I sit on the rocks in front of Splash, use squid for bait and catch good size cabezone. I take my fish to Agappo and for $5.00 he
makes me a great meal. Sauteed filet with garlic, veg. and potatoes. Can't beat that. I just love the Santo boys! I believe Splash is my family down
here!

Great place and we go a lot when we are taking our 5 month leave of the Imperial Valley starting in June to be away from the terrible heat! Nick is a
great bartender and the food is fresh and very good. You can't go wrong here and we love to ride my motorcycle from Las Gaviotas over to the
cantina/resturant for an early evening meal. However, since I am driving I only have 2 beers within a 3 hour time there.
First thing I will do on June 1 is indulge myself there,LOL Now, I go a lot when staying down in Las Gaviotas and never had any experiences of people
being rude or out of line. Like most new people you meet, if you are openly friendly and talkative it helps to get over thinking people are rude.
This is especially true if you just sit there without engaging in conversation. Heck, I did not realize that so many nomads were going in there, so
next time the place is full and I am there I will call out who is a BAJA NOMAD here,LOL. Take Care & Travel Safe---"No Hurry, No Worry, Just
FUN" bajafun777
