Rosarito Art Fair – May 2015

We really look forward to the Rosarito Art Fest, always held Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. This year, however, we were extraordinarily busy, with Steve Poltz tix on Friday, wanting to visit with Bob’s son Jamie Saturday evening before he headed back to Oahu, and (YES!) tix for the Rolling Stones on Sunday. But we managed to work in a quick run to ‘Rito for a delicious breakfast on the oceanfront deck of my fave, Los Pelicanos (omelet de rajas de chile poblano, elote y queso, and TIP: don’t forget to ask for “toreados,” the sweated serrano chiles! And if there’s a better margarita – en las rocas sin sal, por supesto – in Rosarito, I haven’t found it.) The Art Fest didn’t let us down – it’s getting better every year. On the main drag, Boulevard Juarez, in front of Festival Plaza, it’s free, there’s music, entertainment and eating & drinking opptys. We sipped Tango Pasion, a delicious Nebbiolo from Vintango, the boutique winery of our longtime Baja buddy, JoAnn Knox-Martino, while we perused the art and visited with artisans before we had to make a run for the border.
