    Brewery on the left, restaurant in the middle and outdoor area to walk around on is to the right.
    Hazel G.

    Exceptional, extraordinary, captivating and so on. I am sure you get the idea. On the right side of the restaurant there is a beautiful outdoor area surrounded by trees. On the left side of the restaurant there is a mini brewery with a modern touch that serves beers! And of course the the main restaurant is outdoorsy with a full bar. Food? Oh my, ooh my, oooh my! The dishes they offer are like no other, I promise! PHENOMENAL is how I can describe the food. Apparently, the chefs there are like no other. French Fries- 5 stars (freshly made and seasoned) Calamari Tacos- 5 stars (al pastor seasoning) Skirt Steak- 5 star (tender and delicious) Salad- 5 star (beautiful vegetables & colors with a vinaigrette dressing) Beer- 5 star (Sirena a Pilsner) Customer Service- 5 star (kind, helpful & friendly) Yes, COVID-19 is recognized. Masks, non contact menu and seating is appropriately separated. Visit this GEM!!!

    My friends and I were celebrating my birthday, and Damian and his team served us an amazing meal with excellent wine pairings. Each course was on point, and they went out of their way to make my birthday special. We had multiple dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating. The tuna ceviche tostada was a favorite. Would highly recommend if you're in the Valle region!!

    Love this place! My favorite restaurant in Valle de Guadalupe. Chef Javier Altamirano's cuisine is mouthwatering. The ceviche and shrimp pasta are the best along with the grilled tomahawk and ribeye steaks! Don't forget to ask for the house sangria.

    Great option to eat in valle de Guadalupe, food here is delicious! Good service, I am a repeat customer of this place and definitely I recommend it . Get a reservation if u want to go there on the weekends. They accept credit cards. The parking is a little small but hopefully u can find a space to park.

    After the day in Valle my party was looking to soak up all that vino with some delicious food. We gave Cantera a try and scheduled a table for 4 at 6 pm. There was no wait which was nice since it was Valentines Day weekend. The restaurant is located outside so be sure you dress in layers and bring a jacket since it can get really cold at night. We kicked off dinner w/ some apps of marinated shrimp, Thai shrimp, and papas fritas. The shrimp appetizers were cooked perfectly and were steamed in really tasty seasoning. For dinner, my buddy and I shared a massive piece of tomahawk steak and the ladies got the lamb rack and seared tuna. All of the food was spectacular, but the problem was that each item came out to the table in 20 min blocks. So even if you wanted to be polite and wait for the next person to eat, your meal would be ice cold. The final tuna entree didn't come out until hours into our meal and everyone was ready to leave. We tried to order some food to go as well, but it never came out to the table as we were told it would be another long wait. The restaurant was not very busy so I am not sure what the issue was. The staff seemed to care less about how the evening transpired which is never a good thing. The heating machines also were barely working as well which put a damper on the evening. Food was great (when it came out), but I don't think I would dine at this establishment again. They need to work on their service for sure.

    Great place that has high quality food. If your lucky enough to be here when the have their "tostadas de pato" do yourself a favor and order them, you won't regret it. The picture uploaded are the infamous tostadas!!! Great ambience and decor, seating is outdoor/indoor setting. To top it all off the space are very friendly.

    This restaurant is in a great location, at the Maglen resort, it has beautiful patio seating and the service was excellent. The food and drinks are Amazing!! We had the carne pizza, delicious handmade crust, the shrimp fettuccine was sooo yummy very flavorful with garlic and herbs, the pork was great it just melts in your mouth, and the chili fries with cheese. Everything on our table was delightful! We loved this restaurant and will definitely be coming back.

Directions on Yelp took us to someone's house, so we called the restaurant and made it in time. It was very tricky to get to Lunario! Only one other couple was there while we dined and they traveled from out of state! For the 8 course menu, we had: 1.zanahoria ahumada y feta 2. camaron con tomate verde 3. cangrejo kale y kumquat 4. lobina almeja con papa 5. sope de chirivia en molito 6. cabrito betabel jocoque 7. higos salvia y yogurt 8. sabayon con fresas Hubby opted for the wine pairing and I had a mocktail that was herbally, but refreshing. We started with some kind of water/tea that was so flavorful and were given some soft bread and butter. Each course was beautifully presented and so unique. I loved everything we tried. Service was excellent as well. You feel like you're in a green house! We went outside to take some photos since there is a small waterfall and some koi on the property. The bites are pretty small, so we ended up getting some tacos afterward LOL. I recommend coming here in an SUV because the road to this area is VERY bumpy. There were so many potholes because of the rain and lots of huge puddles. I wasn't sure if my car could make it out of here and I've been to other parts of Valle with no issues.

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.

The fruits were fresh and they also provide honey as well to eat with the cottage cheese. They also gave us a small complimentary plate of fruits so I just had extra. If you order the bread, you might get different varieties but they were all good. They were on the sweet side, just fyi. Overall, great experience with wonderful staff.

The charcuterie board stood out with its excellent variety of artisanal cheeses and meats, all beautifully presented. Some of the cheeses were from the goats on the property, pretty cool--and other fresh ingredients came from the region. The "Torre de Uchepo" (Uchepo Tower) was the best. Uchepo is a soft tamale made from white corn, traditional to Michoacán, and here it is taken to another level. It's served with pork rib and a green tomato and puya pepper sauce, topped with fresh farm cream and Cotija cheese. An absolute must! The wines, all produced from the on-site winery, paired perfectly with both the charcuterie board and the tamale dish. The peaceful views of ducks in a small pond and a nearby pasture with sheep and horses. They have dogs too, which are all so friendly and, in my opinion, added to the experience as a dog lover. It's a serene experience that perfectly complements the quality of the food and wine. And the service, the service is like no other. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Valle de Guadalupe's culinary and wine scene. I look forward to returning for an actual meal, we had dinner reservations, but wanted to stop by. The restaurant is off the beaten path. At the gate, you'll enter and continue driving around the property to the top, where the restaurant sits with gorgeous views. You'll see a small pond and a set of stairs--follow them up to the top. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating.
