La Fonda or La Mision


Being that I will be taking my sons to Bahia de Los Angeles for a boys only fishing trip starting next Friday. My wife told me that when we get back she would like us to take her down to spend the night and eat lobster. Somewhere close to San Diego. I was thinking La Fonda or La Mision since we have never been there. Somewhere we can park the car, walk on the beach, have some drinks, a nice dinner and spend the night. Thanks for your suggestions

Now, that's very smart advice! :yes::spingrin:

the Mexican way of preparing lobster over an open flame or broiled tends to dry it out. slather salsa on it and its okay, but boiling is best in my opinion.

I went to La Fonda last Friday night and met my son and his surfing buddies. The rooms were acceptable, with balconies right on the beach, for about $80. From what I hear Bungalow 21 is right on the beach for $105 nightly. What I liked about La Fonda was their $3.00 (american money) tacos, fish, carne asada...the band was excellent and there was dancing. The place is really pretty, the band plays Creedence Clearwater, beatles and Joan Sebastian, and Mexican music as well. It was very pretty all lit up and the staff was very nice. A great time was had by all!!

Isn't Puerto Nuevo style deep fried? Seems to me that a whole town with a bunch of restaurants grew on that style.

Go 30 min. further south and stay a Los Rosas, just before you get to
Ensenda. Right on the water, great rooms, good food, and realy nice
people! your wife will love it. 4 star in my book. and If you like steak,
1 mile south of there, Sanos another great place! get a cab, they have a
great bar also. Enjoy.

Agreed, but steamed is even better, keeps the moisture in and doesn't blanche out the flavor. The only problem with boiling or steaming is you don't get the Mesquite taste.
