"No stop in Ensenada is complete without queuing up at this legendary seafood cart from one of Mexico’s most famous traditional cooks. Sabina Bandera and her family serve seafood tostadas, seafood cocktails, and raw shellfish dressed with brilliant, essential salsas that have codified Bandera’s original style. Everyone knows the protocol: Get a cooked-and-cooled sea urchin tostada and a salt cod tostada to start. For toppings, ask for Pismo clam or splurge on callo de hacha (pen shell clam). Then dress the tostadas with guacachile (spicy guacamole) and chiles de mi jardin (toasted chiles in vegetable oil with peanuts), or take a chance on one of the countless jars of proprietary salsas." - Bill Esparza
