No credit cards. On the main street, West side, middle of town across from the Police Station. Every Baja buff knows and loves La Fonda. This is the place for lovers, for sunsets, for tranquilidad, for superb food served with bougainvilla blossoms blowing into your lap in summer and a crackling fire warming your back in winter. Don't try to hurry it.
Nobody here knows how.
Somewhere between the spicy black and brown bean soup and the second Pina Colada, we recently watched a school of dolphins playing tag with two surfers far below. Send the food back cheerfully if it's a little cool. Nobody minds, because everything here is worth it. The enormous shrimp stuffed with crab, the lamb that's so soft it slips off your fork, but most of all, the flour tortilla chips that people drive hours for. No wonder nobody cares when the next course comes.
