Darlene Elaine Jimenez is a Mexican-American entrepreneur whose love for food eventually led her to create D’Thai in La Paz, Baja California Sur. Born in San Diego and raised between cultures, she grew up surrounded by a mix of flavors and traditions that shaped her appreciation for Asian cuisine. Some of her earliest memories of Thai cooking came from her father, who had learned recipes from friends in San Diego and later shared them with her at home.
Although Darlene originally studied architecture at the Instituto Tecnológico de La Paz, her creative side eventually found a different outlet in the kitchen. What began as a simple idea—cooking Thai food from home for weekend pickup—quickly gained a following. Before long, the small project grew into a full restaurant, which she opened about five years ago.
Today, the restaurant continues to thrive in La Paz under the care of her husband and father. Meanwhile, Darlene has brought her passion for Thai cuisine to a new setting. Together with her mother, who is also a Thai chef, she now prepares authentic Thai dishes five days a week at Captains, sharing the same flavors and family traditions that started it all.

Captains Sunset Bar & Thai Restaurant, a Baja Charters hang-out, is on Marina Palmira, facing directly on to the bay of La Paz. A sports bar for locals, yachties, and ex-pats. Super friendly, great drinks and food with killer sunsets.
We are located on the esplanade of the beautiful Marina Palmira, on the bay of La Paz, Baja Sur California, Mexico, directly in front of Dock 5. Captains is a Baja Charters & Excursions business. Captains was originally conceived purely as a support services facility to provide high-quality food and drink to Baja Cat, www.BajaCat.com, a large and spacious sailing catamaran just a few steps from the Captains’ place. Captains also handles the food, drink, and ice provisioning for the even larger triple-deck classic cruising yacht Pacifica, www.BajaPacifica.com. Both yachts are Baja Charters’ vessels.
Once Captains was open and providing the same high-quality food and drink that Baja Charter’s nautical activities are famous for, other options presented themselves. For example, Baja Cat is out on the water almost daily providing 5-star private charters and excursions. However, most days of the week, this outstanding sailing catamaran is back safely in her berth by 3:00 PM. So, with Captains just steps away from Baja Cat, and the catamaran typically available in the late afternoon and early evening, this allowed for the launch of Captains’ Sunset Cruises. Let’s face it, there is no where else in the world that has more dramatic sunsets than La Paz, so this was a win-win.
