    Found one of the prettiest restaurants in Tecate, B.C., El Lugar de Nos, owned by Chef Mariela…read moreManzano. The restaurant is full of beautiful art and little treasures that make the whole space feel magical. The service was amazing and very quick. They also bring a stand for your purse. All the food we ordered was phenomenal. We started with guacamole for the table (shared between six people) and it was the perfect portion. For brunch I ordered the Tostadas de Borrego (lamb tostadas) and pork belly tostadas with pozole, and every bite was incredible. The lamb meat was super tender and flavorful. The pork belly was flavorful and with the pozole created a nice bite. Definitely adding this spot to my "must go back" list and try more from the menu.

    Stopped in at El Lugar de Nos and I'm still thinking about the food. I ordered the Tacos 84 (the…read moremeat is cooked for 84 hours!) and they were out-of-this-world good. Also tried the quinoa salad and a beet plate from the specials menu. Both were insanely delicious, with portions so big I couldn't even finish. The vibe inside is adorable. It's kind of shabby chic farmhouse, cozy but stylish. I had a spicy mezcal margarita that was smoky, refreshing, and came with a frozen watermelon garnish that was such a fun touch. Service was super friendly and attentive the whole time. Definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets busy. I'll absolutely be going back.

    Back again and still very happy with the food and service! Got pizza last week, had breakfast also…read moreand this week we had burgers & fries. Food is made fresh and is quite good! The staff are always welcoming and the dining area is clean.

    I am hiking the PCT and I was hungry... man. Did I come to the right place. I don't talk prices,…read moremost of the time - when it comes to food, I barely look at prices. This is about being satiated. I came hungry and left satisfied but slightly angry that I couldn't try more things, lol. MY ORDER: Chicken tenders and fries... and THE BONUS ROUND: I also picked up a bag of Lays classic chips, Hostess Donettes and a PayDay King size candy bar. Oddly enough, I didn't try a malt, but hold on cowboys... I haven't left yet. Okay... I bought a vanilla malt too, lol. What kind of a reviewer would I be if I didn't? I am an obsessed foodie and when it comes to malts I like a super thick malt. Lesser milk than a shake,.a lot of ice cream and a seriously potent malt flavoring. The best to me is the straight malt from the YELLOW Ovaltine container (no cocoa product used). The Carnation malt is pretty weak. I am sure there are others. I am not sure what they used though. It was tasty, served up fast, but it just was.not what I expected in both consistancy and flavor. Definitely didn't detract from my 5 star rating. Oh and the resupply food items for backpackers is amazing. Oh and they even had Leukotape and fuel canisters. Bravo! Running the place were Frank and Valerie and they couldn't have been nicer folks. And the people of the area shppping this store are so kind and friendly. One lady even gave me a sample of a powdered drink mix she likes.
