Eating Out in San Felipe

If there is one thing Chuck and I are experts at it is eating out.  For the last nine years we have had at least two meals, often three or more, a week away from home.  However, the frequency does not necessarily make us gourmets, not by a long shot.  While in Chico and Paradise we tend to frequent the same few establishments with little regard to gourmet standards.  If anything, a reverse polarity may apply.  We are not gourmets.  We like regular everyday “American” food, assuming you consider Mexican cuisine American.. which I do.  Those that don’t seem to forget that there are three America’s, North, South and Central.

Contrary to our normal behavior at home (in Paradise) though, when we are in San Felipe, we cook more and eat out less, at least a little less.  So far this trip we have had breakfast out only once, lunch twice and dinner once.  We have been here ten days, so maybe we are not eating out any less, just cooking more.  Which would make sense since we are not having lunch at work.

At any rate, we are being a bit more adventurous in our choice of restaurants.  On past visits we had stuck pretty close to Rosaritos, Karen’s (Baja Java), with an occasional “fancy” meal at El Nido or Baja Steak (which was new last year and is closed this visit).  This week we have tried a couple of new places (new to us, not San Felipe).  We had breakfast at Chuy’s last week and were please.  The food was fresh and tasty and the service very good and pleasant.   Yesterday we had lunch at La Vaquita which is really a dinner house and bar.  We had heard rumors that it was one of the favorites for the locals and can see why.  The food  and service was excellent and atmosphere very pleasant.  It looked like there were set for entertainment in the evenings.

La Taza is still our Internet Cafe of choice.  They have an open network now so we can make calls or use our computers while sipping our mochas.
