El Fogón — Restaurant in San Joaquín

We asked if she was joking and with a straight face she said no I'm not I need the other tables just in case someone else comes. We got up and left didn't even order

My husband had scrambled eggs with bacon. The bacon was the best we've encountered in Mexico! That was a treat. The vista is incredible. I recommend this place. We will return. Thanks Eric for your hospitality and sightseeing...

Should have taken it to the dog outside. Fair price but much to improve. Would...
