I was both confused and impressed in certain ways. It was casual, but also had table clothes and classy menu’s. We parked in the dirt lot around the corner, a shared lot in construction with the nearby Hotel.
It was brunch, so my friends got breakfast, while I got both breakfast and lunch. 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns. I also got Seafood fettuccini alfredo (mixto). There were octopus, shrimp, clams, mussels. It was a little runny, but came together once I let it sit a while. The service was slow and they never came to refill my water, the bathroom is in a weird place, but they were Johnny on the spot with the coffee. Tortillas as with almost all tortillas in Ensenada were excellent. These were particularly thin and used for dipping in my pasta sauce instead of the usual French bread or baguette. Garnished with sauce and parsley like a finer dining restaurant. Full bar, but limited menu.
Rice and beans were classic. The table near us ordered 3 orders of chilaquiles, so they must have been good. I can imagine it getting packed in the morning and evening, but not on an American Monday holiday.
You can tell it’s nicer dining than most nearby, but also not busy enough to not improve their service. The food was not soo amazing that I would not look past this. The menu style is such that there is a lot of cross customization, so for that the cooks do well to mix flavors and proteins. I don’t think I’ll come back because it didn’t leave a lasting impression in any category.
