Baja Forums

yeah, great idea yaesu! usually the locals know the best places to eat. not to mention they also know where all the affordable restaurants are.

my girlfriend keeps on complaining when we eat in small, streetside restaurants and stalls in tijuana that the food preparations might not be that clean. all i tell her is that a little dirt never hurt anybody. that was until she contracted some sort of stomach flu and she had to be admitted overnight in a local hospital. i ate the same thing as her but nothing happened to me so i guess you just have to know how tough your stomach is before you put anything in your mouth.

El Rey Sol is a really amazing French fusion restaurant in Ensenada. I ate there a few weeks ago and had the "Baja Style Calamari." It was excellent!

I swear by Yakult.

I never have it at home here in the UK but I take a bottle everyday whilst in Baja and I really believe it keeps my stomach in shape.

Plus I do not eat by the roadside for the first 3 or 4 days, giving my stomach time to get accustomed.

So earn yourself some brownie points and get her Yakult!

hahaha! alright, i'll buy two dozen Yakults before bringing her out to eat at a streetside restaurant! i just find it really tempting to go buy something in baja especially when you pass by a road side stall and they're grilling or steaming something and it smells great. lol! thanks for the tip yaesu!

We do the same, if there is a taco stand with a bunch of locals standing around eating, we will pull over and eat, have yet to get sick, or have a bad meal!

Just ate at a great new restaurant in TJ yesterday called La Carniceria. It is in the Rio Zone - Blvd. Sanchez Taboada No. 10488. As the name implies, there is a lot of meat on the menu. It is a lot more upscale than I expected and the service was excellent. I had New York steak tacos...which had amazing flavor!

Its alright for some!

Another great spot in T.J. is Casa del Mole. As you would expect, the mole is excellent. They have one restaurant in the Rio zone in T.J. and one in Playas. The chilaquiles with scrambled eggs are amazing for breakfast!

heads up baja people, they've added a new city guide for tecate here at baja.com. i've already read the one about tecate dining and i didn't know they had really nice bakeries there. ive passed by tecate once and ate at a inn where they have really nice soup and chicken dishes. all home made too. they also brag about a kind of french bread ripe off which was supposedly better than those in france. tastes good but i would say it was better than french bread in france since there's some differences i cant point out specificaly. must be because of difference in ingredients or that mexican feel to it. hope more people join in on this thread cause its fun taking about food in baja. adios!
