Breakfast in Todos Santos
My wife and I are returning to Todos Santos in July, but this time with a twist: we are renting a house with a full kitchen and would like to prepare
at least some of our own meals. While it goes without saying that we'll be going to some of the local markets and buying what's fresh, exactly what
constitutes a typical Baja breakfast?
Here in New England, I usually choke down a bowl of cereal before rushing off to work. I'm guessing that's not going to be on the agenda. I'm also
assuming that it will be a little harder to accommodate a lactose-free diet (I usually have my cereal with soy milk). This is fine, as our goal is to
get a brief taste of ex-pat living in Todos Santos, and not to resort to being tourists.
Any tips would be appreciated.

The dreaded Breakfast Burrito comes to mind. Can't seem to get away from them. I much prefer cold spaghetti or Pizza.

Lots of choices for healthy breakfast in TS or at least two or three. Locals have tacos at 9am hours usually carne but fish or shrimp tacos are good
for me?! Pura Vida Health Foods for soy and healthy. Casa Tota for $80 peso Huevos Benedictinos, Mmmmm. Lizaraga for veggies. Just arrive and
cruise the scene. Too much Shishi but lots of good food. Favs are tacos and local cart fare! Pacificos--como no! Tio ps did I mention
Pescadero??

In my opinion the best breakfast place around is La Garita about 10 miles north on the La Paz highway. Great machaca burritos and huevos rancheros. In
Todos Santos, check out Carla's across from the park at the stoplight for a traditional Mexican breakfast at a good price.

Thank you for the great suggestions! We're familiar with Lizaraga and Pura Vida but had never made a purchase there. And yes, Baja Beans in El
Pescadero will be a mandatory pilgrimage. I had never heard of La Garita, but will definitely make the trip. I also hadn't heard of Carla's, and am
suddenly racking my brain to try to remember where the stoplight is.

I would seek out sources of tropical fruit until you can grow your own (most produce quickly): Papaya, Mango, Banana, Cherimoya, Sapote, Carambola,
Guanabana, Pineapple, the list can be huge... mabe even Rambutan and Litchi? Local stands make fresh fruit salads and 'liquidos' or fruit drinks, too.
