RESTAURANTE EL FARO: Calamari to Die For! If you happen to…read morebe in Ensenada and taking a trip to the south end of the Bahia to visit La Bufadora, the world's second largest blowhole, don't miss the opportunity to visit El Faro Restaurant in the small Poblado of Esteban Cantu located a few miles before you reach Punta Banda. This small and unassuming family-owned eatery has become renowned for its delightfully authentic Mexican cuisine and local seafood dishes. Located next door to Sharkey's Bar & Grill, they are situated facing the Estero on the left side of the road. One of their signature dishes is their fried calamari, which consists of a generous, crispy and tender breaded fillet done 'abalone style' in garlic butter. It is served with fresh veggies from the local farms, rice, baked potato and sour cream, and toasty garlic bread. The price for this sumptuous feast is 150 pesos, which is only about $8.00 U.S. at the current exchange rate of 19 pesos to the dollar. The most amazing feature is that El Faro offers a different 2 for 1 menu item each weekday; and on Fridays, calamari is the designated special. That's right, 2 calamari dinners for only 150 pesos! On one occasion, a buddy of mine and I showed up there with a couple pints of Heineken (no corkage fees at El Faro) and took advantage of this mind-numbing value. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious, and we waddled out the door after paying the 150-peso check and leaving a 25% gratuity. Yep, a total of 200 pesos ...about 12 bucks tip included for a couple of the best calamari I've had in years. If you're in the neighborhood, give 'em a try!

There was a little bit of a language barrier, but all the food came out correctly. They even gave us some cookies to take for the road! The chips and salsa are just incredible.

The plates and mugs are all amazing ceramic works of art, and it really adds a personal flair to this family owned establishment. Definitely try the Caldo Res! The owner recommended it to someone in my party. Really though, you can't go wrong with any of the selections on their adorable menu. Make sure to check in and leave a good review so that those wonderful people can get more exposure. They certainly deserve it!

We decided to get a few wine tastings (there were seven of us, and four people did a 3, 4, 6 and 6 respectively. We decided that we needed a little bit of food to go with the wine so we got a cheese plate, and I got a chicken plate after some hemming and hawing, since I wasn't drinking. I was SO glad that I did! It was delicious and made perfectly. The presentation of the cheese plate was beautiful. Of course, I took a photo and can't seem to find it. It had dried slices of fruit, several kinds of cheese including one or two goat cheeses, and some compote jam on a spoon. Everyone loved it, and it got eaten up quickly. The chef came out to check on us, which was a nice personable touch. The scenery was perfect, out in the open and you could see the wine fields and the weather couldn't have been nicer. The nice person from the winery came and explained the wines and poured them as we enjoyed the bites.
