Fauna at Bruma is one of the top restaurants in Valle, and we have been fortunate to have eaten here multiple times, with friends and colleagues. Everything is delicious: the crudo, salads, vegetables (especially the charred cabbage), the seafood, chicken, and local beef. Desserts are always exquisite too, and service excellent. Their current sommelier is wonderful, too. You can book on OpenTable, which is convenient. Also good for before or after wine-tasting at Bruma. It's one of the few restaurants open Monday and Tuesday, so are there for firm meetings in Nov. '23 and Nov. '24, and had a big multi-course dinner there w/ the firm a few years ago and just recently for 30+ people, and the food is always top notch. Just minus one star, because we tried to cancel once 3 weeks in advance, and they refused to return our deposit (the full amount, paid in advance). read more

This place it's just like eating in heaven, food it's amazing very creative and very locally oriented, the space it's a master piece, service it's just out of this world read more

Excellent experience here, highly recommend a stop by. I went with my mom and grandmother, who both don't eat too much and we ordered one tasting menu, a pork dish, and the charred cabbage dish. Everything was awesome, so I'm glad we got the tasting menu to try many of the menu items. At the end, we had enough food that I had breakfast in the morning from the leftovers. The service was excellent, the staff were always on point to change your dishes and utensils at the right pacing, often refolded our napkins without us even noticing, the staff are knowledgeable in helping you choose what to order and importantly preventing you from ordering too much, which we almost did! Our waiter was awesome, I wish we caught his name. The only slight nit is that my water glass wasn't refilled frequently, but everything was already above and beyond my expectations. One tip I would suggest if you are going with a few people is to figure out which dishes are not on the tasting menu so that you can opt to order fewer tasting menu courses and instead order a few dishes not on the tasting menu. So many items stood out, it's hard to keep track. The many seafood dishes were awesome, but I particularly liked the oysters (with amazing added flavor), the scallop dish was excellent, the cucumber (aguachile) sashimi dish was amazing, the grilled cabbage had a delicious sauce of puréed cabbage, great sauce for the fish collar, and the sesame ice cream dessert was layered with awesome flavor and textures! If ordering a la carte, things that caught my eye but didn't live up to expectations were the duck tostada (I expected juicy duck breast, but it was some sort of fillamentous duck preparation). And of course the setting. I loved the communal dining experience as it was fun getting to know and chat with new people. The actual restaurant felt kind of magical...a sort of tribal Tulum vibe in the middle of the desert, with a lot of flame-lit and warm lighting tones. It was super cute to see cats roaming around outside the restaurant...and if you are so fortunate to go at night...the stars are breathtaking given how little light pollution is in the area. I think if you go during sunlight you may be able to walk around their garden a bit as well. Cocktails were good for US standards, average for Mexico standards. Walked out the door ordering 2 entrees, 1 tasting menu, and 1 cocktail paying $200 for 3 people (albeit 2 with smaller stomachs) and enough leftovers for a breakfast for 1 person. I love this place and would absolutely return and recommend! read more

4.6 stars. This is a very unique dining experience. The food is Michelin quality and presentation. My wife and I went to Mexico for her birthday and stayed at Bruma Casa 8. We had Tuna Fin Sopes, Smoked Broccoli, Octopus, Smoked Qual, Charred Cabbage, Wagyu Cross Steak and Honey Semifreddo with Ice Cream for desert. It was a lot of food, but fun to try a lot of different options. The cabbage was great. The octopus is a must try. I'd pass on the Waygu, it's $125usd and not very flavorful. Be prepared to spend $$$! I think the bill for just two of us including two corn fashioned cocktails and two glasses of wine was around $400usd. Again, great overall dining experience! read more

What a disappointment. Slow service, waiting sometimes 25 minutes for the next course to arrive on the tasting menu. Fatty, vegetable free food. Also disappointing. Lots of flies everywhere. Super overpriced. Beautiful surroundings but I would not go back nor recommend it. read more

Soooo much incredible food. My husband and I are going to be dreaming about this meal! We live in Orange County and would drive down just to eat here. Exceeded the hype! read more

Do not understand why this place is claimed to be so "award winning". Food was salty, gross, and not worth the money. Will absolutely never return. Save your money!!! read more

Fauna is okay. I expected more to be brutally honest, it was just okay and not worth the money. Our group and I chose to do a 6- course meal and it was pretty average. Nothing was exceptional, unfortunately. I also requested no mayonnaise, sour cream, or white creams for dinner, unfortunately they failed. It was on 3-items. I had to keep waiting for them to bring something else or not eat at all. It was hard to enjoy the meal and not feel paranoid I'd get white emulsions in my mouth. They also kept saying "your husband sent this (champagne and cake). Lol, I do not have a husband. The ambiance is the only thing I'd say was nice! read more

My absolute favorite tasting room in all of Plaza Fiesta!!! This is a beer snobs dream! You have to walk a few steps into Plaza Fiesta but it's located upstairs. A list of beers to choose from. Their bar munchies are actually worth having. They have a ton of seating and everyone there is just having a good time with beers in hand and good jams on their speakers. A lot of local businesses carry this beer. I know I'm in TJ when I get myself una cerveza Fuana. Besitos! Your Homegirl, Violy read more

Great beer and bar food. Had their Lycan Lupus ipa and some cochinita pibil tostadas with black beans. Perfect combination, these guys know their beer. Micro brew scene coming up in TJ. Would definitely recommend to anyone not looking for touristy bs but simply great craft beers and good food. Lycan was my favorite but they were sold out of several others. If in town, drop by to have at least a beer. Saludos y gracias por las chelas y tostadas. read more

We walked into this place excited to eat and have a beer but couldn't even stomach drinking a beer there. It seemed like a "come and get hammered" spot, the kitchen looked abandoned and outdated, it smelled terrible and there was no seating. I would not drink here unless I was drunk and would NEVER eat here. read more

They had great service it appeared but the food was horrible and that is what I am rating this place on. I am pretty almost 100% positive they gave me they burger that was sitting on the counter when I walked up to the bar to order and just microwaved the fries and place it into a Togo box.... utterly disgusting.... And the Pizza Fries were a waste of money.... Please check out the other bars. No view, bad food, but great staff.... If they didn't offer me old food and try to play it off.... read more
