However, our driver named CLEMENTE, suggested to my spouse we go here, La Cocina de Doña Esthela. It came with a Michelin Star, but that seemed questionable. We went there on the advice of the driver, CLEMENTE. It was decent food and fairly well priced. COST FOR 3, including driver initially $75.00. I chose the 3 ENCHILADA DINNER, as did my partner. OUR DRIVER ORDERED SHEEP!!! As we waited for the car, the waiter came running out looking for us, mumbling something in Spanish. When my partner returned minutes later, he had about $25 in hand in PESOS!!! He said, after that whole thing, they said that they had admitted to OVERCHARGING US!!! So: $50.00

Despite being very busy, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. The space was a bit warm inside, but the incredible food and overall experience made it completely worth it. I had their famous Hotcakes de Elote (corn pancakes), and they were easily my favorite dish of the meal! They were unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also tried their Machaca con Huevo, which was another standout. Everything we ordered was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. Their homemade tortillas and salsa were the perfect finishing touches and added even more authenticity to the meal. The service was excellent -- our waiter was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I also noticed the staff singing "Happy Birthday" to guests a couple of times, making it a great spot for a special celebration. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting Valle de Guadalupe. This is definitely a place worth experiencing for the food, hospitality, and unforgettable flavors!

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!

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.

Their hot coffee was $65 pesos and it comes with free refills. I just got the fruit platter and the bread with coffee. 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 setting is beautiful; however, our group experience was extremely disappointing. We waited over two hours for a three-course meal, and several dishes arrived lukewarm and dry. Service throughout the experience was poor, and when we spoke with the manager, no effort was made to address or fix the issues. This was especially frustrating given it was a prepaid group reservation and a birthday celebration. While concerns were not raised further on-site to avoid disrupting the group, the experience accurately reflects what occurred. We hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to meaningful improvements. Edit to add: As the tour operator, we ultimately issued a refund to our clients after the venue declined to do so, in order to uphold the level of service our guests expect.

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.
