During our visit to Ensenada, we walked the length of La Calle Primera (1st Street) several times. Also called Adolfo Lopez Mateos, 1st Street is a tourism spot due to it's many curios shops, restaurants, hotels, bars and popular clubs such as Hussong's Cantina.

This street is very busy and filled with tourists.

You can find Bar El Patio in the upper center of this map.

We ate here a couple of times and used this location in order to take Uber or Didi driving service elsewhere. Since it is a very famous location, it was easy to find a driver and for the driver to find us.

Once we had a ride from here to i-petra restaurant at the Oeno Wine Lodge, and another time we had the driver take us to the dock area to eat at Muelle 3, a fantastic seafood restaurant.

Rides within town ran from 40Pesos to 70 Pesos, from $2 - $3.50USD.

Lovely outdoor seating

 

 

 

 

Isn't this beautiful?

With a wide open view, the tourist traffic walked between the tables at the street and the tables right at the restaurant's front door.

Beautiful weather, decent service, clean area of town and sometimes there was live street music. A great place to have a beer, a smoothie, a coffee or an appetizer if a full meal isn't what you are looking for.

Restaurants lined up one after another

All of these restaurants are known by the tourists, many of whom come from the cruise ships in Ensenada's deep water harbor. But we met locals eating here too.

The area is very festive and attractive.

Today's typical young ones on their devices

These young people were waiting for their orders to arrive. No point in speaking to anyone at the table when you can check your social media or read the news on your phone. It's far more interesting than getting to know the person sitting next to you, don't you think? (!!)

Occasionally, one of them would look up and share what they were reading and make a comment perhaps.

A new way of living.

Alone together.

Mango smoothie at El Patio Restaurant, Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico

Yummy mango smoothie

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite things to drink when we are in the tropics is a mango smoothie. It really hits the spot and I love the flavor of this yellow-orange fruit. Growing up in the Midwestern United States, we didn't have anything like this in the grocery stores!

After all these years, palm trees and fruit grown in the tropical zones are still magical to me.

Price?

About $2.50USD. What a deal!

2 flavors of chicken wings

As you know, chicken wings are very popular and these were quite good.

We ordered a plate of wings in two flavors, BBQ and Hot. Both were delicious!

Yes!
