We're in Ensenada, Baja California and getting familiar with the place.

Most days after we eat our delicious buffet offered by our hotel, we walk to a nearby coffee shop for a cappuccino and a tisana. Tisanas are an herbal drink - hot or cold - boiled of different combinations of dried flowers, herbs, dehydrated fruits and skins of fruits.

They can also be served as a frappe and sweetened with honey. In many tisanas, the fruit is edible after the drink is finished. 

At the coffee shop Billy contacted an Uber driver to take us to the malecon so we could find out what's going on at the beach.

Most of the Uber and Didi rides we took around Ensenada cost from 40 to 70 Pesos, about $2-$3.50USD.

This was no exception and after we paid the driver his 70Pesos to drop us off at one end of the malecon, we began our walk.

We walked all along Playa Hermosa until we came across Plaza Contenedores - Plaza of the Containers.

Set off a little way from the road, we walked along the sand until we came closer to this grouping of shipping containers. Since Ensenada has the only deep water seaport on the Baja serving international shipping routes, often there are many empty shipping containers available to transform... into anything you can think of.

This complex held several international restaurants and bars.

We walked along the inside of this conglomeration of shipping containers and saw several different styles of restaurants. Sushi was offered, there was traditional Italian, local Mexican fare, a good craft beer selection, wines and gourmet coffees.

There were rooftop bars as well (you can see one at the top of this photo) which could be a great place to watch the sunset. Live music was offered in the evenings.

After reviewing all of our choices, we decided upon this Arab restaurant because we wanted to try a combination plate with lamb. On the menu, this is the item on the bottom left.

Even though the hours posted said the Plaza was open from 8 am to 10 pm daily, this Arab restaurant didn't serve food until 2pm.

Go figure, but it's Mexico.

We did a bunch more walking up the beach eventually returning - hungry for lamb.

One of Billy's favorite styles of craft beer is an IPA - meaning Indian Pale Ale.

Here in Mexico they are called "EE-pahs" and Billy was surprised to find a can of this on the menu.

In our experience, we have only had IPAs on tap at a brewery, so this can was a treat!

Our mouths were watering for the combination-plate-for-2, but unfortunately, this plate was not available.

WHAAT?!

Ok, so flexibility is a good thing and we both ordered lamb gyros with hummus instead.

With a view of  tourists riding horses on the beach below, it all turned out well.

We would recommend going to the Plaza Contenadores and find which flavor of restaurant you might prefer. Also the rooftop bar could be a great evening drinking craft beers and wine from the Guadalupe Valley.

Bring a jacket, it gets windy.
