The welcoming and clean store also features specialty items from Southeast Asia that are challenging to find elsewhere, such as fresh lemongrass, Miso, Asian pasta, fish sauce, red, green, yellow curries, tofu, and fresh vegetables and extensive choice of spices, oils, (malt, rice) vinegars, etc. OMG, I almost forgot all of the home made fresh fish dressings and dips prepared by the owner. My favorite is her tartar sauce (the best) coupled by their Capeadora deep fried Curvino, Mero or Blanco. What a feast and treat. For some reason the fish I buy here always tastes so much better than any purchased from The Black Fish Market. Captain Cortez es una apuesta confiable y segura para todos sus gustos de mariscos. Todo está siempre fresco, sobre montones de hielo fresco todo el día, se deshilacha perfectamente de las escamas y se cocina con una consistencia tierna y rica en sabor, nunca blanda o demasiado sospechosa. La tienda acogedora y limpia también presenta artículos especiales del sudeste asiático que son difíciles de encontrar en otros lugares, como limoncillo fresco, miso, pasta asiática, salsa de pescado, curry rojo, verde, amarillo, tofu y verduras frescas y una amplia variedad de especias, aceites, vinagres (malta, arroz), etc. Dios mío, casi me olvido de todos los aderezos y salsas de pescado fresco hechos en casa preparados por el propietario. Mi favorita es su salsa tártara (la mejor) junto con su Capeadora frita Curvino, Mero o Blanco. Qué fiesta y trato.

The award-winning wine options were explained in detail and we settled on a bottle of dry white and some rose by the glass. Both good value. Our server, Julia, was lovely - knowledgeable and friendly. As our appetizers we shared Pastel de Uchepo and the plantain with mole. As Entrees we shared shrimp and lentils and carnitas. All were delicious. We would without doubt visit Once Pueblos again. Highly recommend a visit.

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.

The professionalism and charisma of the lady who took care of us was exceptional and we cannot commend how great of an experience it was from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. Because it was the day after Christmas and off-season, it wasn't busy in general for most of the wineries, so coming here was quite the treat because we nearly had the entire terrace to ourselves for the majority of our time there. The pairings consisted of mostly white ones with one of the white wines tasting like a red wine (close your eyes). She did an amazing job of explaining the stories and context behind each wine and the owner and his impressions of everything. We also got a charcuterie board that had probably some of the most fresh and tastiest cheese I've ever had. The two different breads with the olive oil really hit the spot. I was so amazed from this place giving its more rural location and that it is hidden. Please note that we paid a decent amount here. I think after the wine tastings for the both of us and the charcuterie board plus the purchasing of 3 or 4 bottles, the total was about $150 USD. Worth every penny! I'd definitely recommend this spot to others

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.
