Casa Don Rodrigo — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

So we decided to try to eat at this place....

They seat ya at a lovely little courtyard with nice appeal, and it seems romantic and off to a good start.

The waiter comes by and serves us all bottled water without us asking... I thought to myself, what a nice little perk, and we order our drinks...

One person orders a coffee after asking if it's fresh, and he says of course... Another person orders coke... And he doesn't see ask me what I want and leaves... Fine, it happens. When he comes back I order a margarita...

The most sour margarita I've ever had in my life comes, which I try to fix with the ancient sugar packets in the table.... (I got it to passable with a bit of effort).

Then he serves us some white bread that is extremely old. I'm talking at least 3 days old. There was no moisture at all in this stuff. Everyone tries a single bite, and leaves it alone.

Finally we get our entrees. I ordered a fetticini Alfredo with chicken.. it looks good and tastes good... I'm thinking to myself that this place just made a bad call with the bread and can't make margarita's, but at least they got something right.... Until my final bite... I taste metal... I reach in my mouth and pull out a jagged little metal shard... I tell the waiter and he takes it away and says nothing about it.

The bill comes... Now, on the menu it says that all process include all things... However on the bill there is a service fee for being served of 159 peso's... Those Waters that they just served when we sat down... 70 pesos each... I didn't know the price of the margarita, but apparently it was 150 pesos... And 40 pesos for that can of coke.... I knew the food was expensive going in but this place is just absolutely ridiculous.

Learn from my mistake and DON'T EAT HERE.

At best you will just be ripped off... At worst, in the hospital with sharp metal in...

We made reservations & asked if they prepare fish brought in by customers & they said "Yes we do" We brought in two big Dorado fillets & asked them to please fix it 3 different ways. When the waiter brought our prepared fish to our table, I would say more than 1/3 of our fish was missing & the fish was prepared only 1 way & served with veggies that were cold & barely cooked. The fish was delicious, but I do not appreciate restaurants stealing my fish that I paid good money to catch, only to turn around & fix it for another customer & charge them for the fish that belonged to me!!! Now, look what you've done....

1. We will NEVER be coming back!
2. The people that came with us will NEVER be coming back!
3. Everyone we tell about this experience will probably NOT want to take the risk either!
4. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!!! *In response to owners response, we absolutely loved the taste of the fish, BUT when we were told we could have it prepared 3 different & that's what we decided to do & then it came only 1 way. We also told our waiter that we knew some of our fish was missing, there were 4 of us & the men could have eaten more, but they couldn't, because part of our fish was missing & not prepared. The waiter didn't seem to wanna talk about the missing fish. We have had the same problem with other restaurants & I'm really tired of the theft problem!! The service was...

This quaint family owned restaurant was thankfully wonderful, authentic, and romantic. We filtered into the family patio by invitation from a jovial man under the Don Rodrigo sign. With some initial hesitation at his smiling gestures, with our seating at the table, it became evident that they had been serving and entertaining guest at the family home for ages. We were astounded by the wood platter of family cheeses, aged at different lengths for a true journey of tastes...the chef's specials expanded this graceful exploration, and the meats and fish were strikingly flavorful. We only had one regret of not eating every single item. Wholeheartedly we got to become a guest of a historic San Jose Los Cabos family for a night as many of the staff had been working and growing organic foods and livestock for hundreds of years (same line genetically of cattle from the purchase from the Spanish Missionaries in the late 1800's) The Sea Bass prepared by the chef was a great selection as example of how great the seafood in Baja can be. Live, and breath in the entertainment of a loving family shown in food, music, and real history at this restaraunt. There is no comparison of a place of this beauty and character to any corporate restaurant chain or snack stand in...
