However, this weekend we tried a few new things I can highly recommend. First, the dessert crepes! We got one with cream cheese, banana, cajeta and chocolate. It was perfect for two people and delicious. One of the best crepes I've had! Next, we tried D'Marco's for breakfast. We ordered chilaquiles divorciados (1/2 green, 1/2 red) and machaca seca with the eggs in the side. Our eggs were cooked perfectly to order, and the flour tortillas were perfect for making little burritos with the machaca and homemade refried beans. The salsa was the right level of spicy and flavorful, and the hashbrowns made a nice bed for my over medium eggs. While the chef Marco has always been there, the service staff is different each time, but always friendly. Please be aware that this is a family restaurant, basically in their yard. The ambiance might be a little intimidating to the inexperienced American eye, but push forward, and you won't be disappointed.

We were greeted immediately and offered indoor or outdoor seating. We opted to eat outdoors. A tiny regret as smoking is allowed and people were smoking. But they soon left so not too much of a bother. We started by ordering drinks - they have a full bar. My husband ordered a double tequila & I ordered a Paloma. Not too strong or too weak, just perfectly prepared. My husband ordered the Chamuyo Shrimp U10, and I ordered the Rib Eye Center Cut Steak- medium well. Both came with a side of the criolla salad. The food, ambiance, and service was great. There was also about 30 minutes of live music by a duo performing son jarocho. Not sure if that's the proper phrasing but it was a nice treat. I'm not sure if they are regular performers or they just happened to be there that day. Overall a great dining experience to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

I was a little worried at first as my favorite duck tacos were no longer on the menu, in fact it was a whole new menu and a new chef. I needn't have worried, however, this restaurant is even better than it used to be (and it used to be pretty darn good -- and yes, you are talking to a food snob). It is now OUTSTANDING! I cannot recommend it highly enough. The menu was inspired and the dishes were creative, artistically presented, and above all delicious. Kudos to chef Juan Carlos Alvarado. Everything we had was terrific but especially not to be missed is the Tuna Appetizer made with Mezcal marinated grilled pineapple in a smoky ponzu sauce, for entrees the Chamorro de Cerdo Pibil is spectacular in both flavor and presentation (I wish I was a better photographer as my photos do not do the food justice). We also did a wine tasting with dinner, all 4 of the wines were great and we ended up buying some to take home. If you visit Baja's wine country, it merits seeking out this hidden gem!

You drive down a dirt road then suddenly you hit the entrance to a beautiful wine vineyard. The actual restaurant is rustic and has a beautiful view of the valley.

Then we had a clams with a tomato based sauce which had a little kick of spice! Boom! Amazing! Stuffed but eager to try more, we had the cheese fondue (my favorite) followed by spicy and sweet ribs. Our stomachs full, we made room for the rib eye steak which was cooked perfectly and qual with black berry sauce mashed sweet potatoes. Amazing experience with a great staff! We will be back!

A group of us, including two close friends from out of town, wanted to have a nice dinner in one of the many great restaurants here. One of our first stops was Viña Emiliana, a beautiful winery with excellent wines. One of the owners, Mili, recommended the restaurant that is attached to the winery, El Tizne. El Tizne is a outside restaurant with a great kitchen set up. It has a daily set menu with several choices from seafood to meat. I was so impressed with their explosive flavors in their Tabla de quesos that I cancelled the dinner reservations and decided to explore their menu. We started with wine tasting enjoying the wines of Viña Emiliana and una Tabla de quesos that had several cheeses from the region sprinkled with beet syrup accompany with homemade pita bread. Then, we had adoba pork "huaraches" that were delicious in taste. We continued with a textured salad that was grilled topped with fresh cheese and with house mole in the bottom of the salad. This is the best salad I have had in my life since it had several different textures and flavors when combined, create a unique taste that was wonderful. Wow! Finally, we tried the New York steak cooked perfect for my liking with a creamy mash potatoes and fresh veggies. The dinner was fantastic and the one thing I was able to take back was their house tizne salsa that is to die for. I mean it, it changes everything. It is black, oily and it adds so much flavor to everything. I am addicted and I am going to have to make a special trip to get more. El Tizne is another gem of the Valle sitting next to one of the wineries in El Valle! By the way, I love that two strong beautiful mujeres are the leaders of Viña Emiliana and El Tizne.

First off, we had the entire place to ourselves. We drank wine and ate delicious food while watching the sunset over the mountains. It was by far the best food I've ever had. The chef Francisco came out to talk to us and we complimented him on his food over and over again. He was very friendly and even explained some of the ingredients in his dishes. We had the guacamole, Mac and cheese, burger, oysters and sopes de birria. All five were absolutely delicious and had a unique spin on the flavor that Francisco had created. This definitely made them outstanding. Also, the servers were very attentive and welcoming. They even started the fire for us, making the night even more magical. We live in Los Angeles but agreed that we will definitely make the drive back here just to eat at this restaurant. This place is a hidden gem for sure! Thank you to Francisco and the entire staff at Cuervos! It was the best birthday dinner that I have ever had. :)

A Michelin rated restaurant boasting a beautiful and elegant dining space with a deep trove of…read moreexcellent wines. Located just down the road from the El Cielo resort, Latitud 32 hosts a tremendous tasting menu alongside a deep wine pairing menu meticulously crafted to elevating your dining experience. For larger parties, you may need to make a reservation but once you've arrived, the staff will greet you and seat you appropriately. Their silverware is extensive and covers every portion of the meal from the light starter bites to the more hearty mains. And should you be participating in the wine pairing, you'll be enamored with the many wine glasses encompassing your space. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable in the wines that were curated for this meal and the head chef was fantastic in describing each dish, the ingredients that went into making it, and the significance of them with respect to the local community and culture. They communicated in English for us non-Spanish speaking folks and it was greatly appreciated for us to understand what we were eating and the effort put into crafting it. All the dishes were presented beautifully and consisted of a lot of fresh produce and locally sourced items. Each bite gave you a taste of Mexico, specifically, the Yucatán. I especially liked the seafood, representing its proximity to the ocean. The wines were exquisite; the whites were crisp and refreshing, rosés were exuberant, the reds were rich and bold, and the bubblies were popping with gas and flavor. They all paired nicely to add deeper undertones to the flavors captured in their complementary dishes. The meal ended with a fantastic crescendo of flavors from their "not so poor knight", a play on the moniker used by the Norwegian for their delicious French toast dish. The edam cheese added some savory notes and the cream settled it all with the fresh fruit atop. The soft center yet crispy exterior was a splendid blend of textures. With all the liquids, it was inevitable to visit the restroom which is located in the gift shop next door. Here you'll find ground local roasted coffee and other souvenirs to consider bringing back home. Overall, Latitud 32 lives up to the expectations of a Michelin rated eatery with its bold flavors and creatively designed dishes. The presentation was fantastic and the wines are an exceptional, and dare I say required, part of the dining experience. The price tag is obviously high, but expect quality and care here. Each tasting menu should have enough food to fill you up but for those simply looking to stuff up, this may not be suitable for you. Attracting those with expansive palates and adventurous senses, Latitud 32 will ensure your dining experience is one that you'll enjoy, reminisce, and share.

The oysters were fresh and very clean tasting. Not super briny or anything. Definitely a mouthful though. The clam chowder was amazing. I wish I took a picture of it. I remembered when I was already halfway through. The chowder had minced bits of clams so it was definitely clam forward. Delicious if you like clams. Had a thick consistency which I like from a chowder. For the main dish, got the fish of the day. I unfortunately can't remember the actual fish but it was described to us as very similar tasting to seabass. It definitely was. Just a more meaty version of seabass. Nicely seasoned. It was over a bed if carrots which was also a nice touch. For dessert, got the Malva Pudin. If you like sponge cakes or bread pudding, you'll like this dessert. Has a similar texture. Goes perfectly with the ice cream. Big enough for 2 people. Service was great. Loved our waiter. He was helpful with our wine choices and was attentive to ask for seconds which was greatly appreciated. Would come again.
