I'm drinking Don Pedro, and it's fine by me.

There's a large Russian community about twenty miles away - a convent
of sisters from Sweden, too.

Lots of Asians -especially in the fishing industry. There are
Japanese/oriental restaurants all over Ensenada - but you have to be
selective because many of them will cater to the Mexican tastes, and
you'll wind up with beans and rice Mexcian style.

I drink Oso, too. It makes me Oso drunk.
