Earlier this year I was in Ensenada Mexico, a stop on a cruise ship itinerary. The areas surrounding the dock were complete tourist traps, but a little further inland we found more "authentic" local fare. I don't think you can really experience a culture if you only stick around the fronts they create to make money off of gullible tourists - kudos for taking the long walk to the real thing.
