Amazing seafood! It is as good as anything I've had in Ensenada, a Mexican Port town. There are too many different margaritas to list all of them.

Arts & Culture
This is the iconic mission in the "mission row". It is restored and still active and in use as a church, but open to the public for free. The history of this mission and Father Kino's building of it are available as a video on the grounds as well as through dioramas and artifacts. After touring San Xavier, take a drive south to the Toumacacori Mission-an unrestored mission of the same erra. This one is in the national park and will cost about $10.00

The categories don't do this place justice! Live music 7 nights a week. It starts early and ends early, too. The blues band I heard there last time I went was FANTASTIC.! The outdoor restaurant serves decent food at reasonable prices and some of the old motel rooms are now little shops that stay open late
