From there, we headed to the house we are renting for the week in El Porvenir, Valle de Guadalupe. We bought a bottle of tequila and proceeded to lounge around for the rest of the day and evening, enjoying our beverage on the patio and listening to the roosters singing in the background until the wee hours of the night.
On Tuesday, Rhea who was my little angel in San Diego, came down with a friend and the four of us went out in the Valle to look for food. The wineries and their restaurants usually open around 1pm and sometimes take a day off during the week. We were heading to Adobe Guadalupe but it was closed. The guard there directed us to Baron Balche and we had a fantastic lunch at Tahal. We had escolar sashimi, mussels, cheeses, rib-eye tacos, steak tartare and for some good measures, a plate of vegetables. Everything was absolutely delicious!! The wines were pretty good too. We were very impressed with the food and especially the local cheeses. The place is beautiful too. You should visit.
We went down to Ensenada in the afternoon, did some shopping and of course, had more food. The oysters and clam chowder at La Cocheria were out of this world!! I’ve never liked clam chowder but this one changed my mind. We had drinks at Hussong’s which has been there since 1829 and is a local favorite. Everyone there was having a good time eating peanuts, drinking beers and listening to the mariachis. We did too!
For dinner, we ended at Boules. I even got to play pétanque with our cute waiter while the owner took our order. Then a rich chicken liver pate came our way along with some delicate huitlacoche tacos, an amazing zucchini and sundried tomato salad, small lamb shops and a ribeye steak with fries. We absolutely loved it all!
I’ll stop here for now because it is Thursday morning and we have to head to Ensenada fish market...
