Contracted with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange for a first-of-its-kind Catholic Cruise from Long Beach to Ensenada Mexico. Organized Mass with Bishop Vann and Bishop Freyer at the Cathedral in Ensenada, Santuario. Offered them several day-trip options for 220 tourist, including a service project at a local orphanage.
Today we visited La Blaseñita in downtown Ensenada. We were on a search for a Menudo for breakfast. We are so glad we found it. This place is a small corner restaurant, with only five tables, and you can see the cooks while they make fresh tortillas, gorditas and all sorts of yummy traditional Mexican food.
We enjoyed a Menudo with all of its fresh veggies on it. It also came with tostadas and to drink we choose a café de olla. Café de olla is a coffee traditionally prepared in earthen clay pots, some made by artisans but the distinct flavor of Café de olla is derived from cinnamon and piloncillo. Finally, to cool off after all the salsa we got a fresh watermelon water.
We can't wait to go back for lunch and try their gorditas, huaraches and mole.
Mmm... menudo, despertamos hambrientas con ganas de algo muy tradicional, llegamos a este pequeño lugar llamado la Blaseñita en una esquina en el centro de Ensenada. Tienen un menú muy especial aquí, jugando con ingredientes de todo México especialmente Oaxaca, origen del significado Blaseñita en zapoteco. Nuestra elección fue un rico Menudo hecho de "panzita" de res, le agregamos lechuga picada finamente, cilantro oloroso, rábano y cebolla blanca; un poco de limón y despertamos al olor de este delicioso platillo calientito con un agua de sandia muy dulce y un café de olla no tanto; no podemos esperar para regresar a probar los tamales oaxaqueños, tlayudas y sopes !!
Happy Taco Tuesday to everyone, especially to our friend Joseph! Him and his group stayed at our Casa Naranja in Ensenada.
Enjoying some Champagne with Master Sommeliers; Matthew Stamp, Thomas Price, and Nick Hetzel. It was an amazing experience to learn about different varietals.

"Travel in itself is one of the most rewarding experiences. You get to see new places, immerse yourself in new experiences, try new cuisines and meet incredibly vibrant and unique people. However, not all travel is created equal.
So many people miss the once-in-a-lifetime moments and the unforgettable encounters when their faces are buried deep in guidebooks or stuck with other tourists at iconic landmarks. The key to the most life-altering, memory-making and utterly beautiful travel is to do it like a local. These secrets, some better known than others, will transform your trip into one you'll remember forever. "
