    There are places you visit and then there are places that live in your head rent free forever. Bar…read moreBura is the second kind. Perched on a cliff above the Pacific with nothing but open ocean in front of you, this is honestly one of the most iconic spots in all of Valle and I will die on that hill (pun very much intended). Getting there is part of the experience. You park at the bottom, hop on a shuttle, and ride up a winding dirt road to the bar. The drivers are so fun and honestly the whole shuttle vibe is its own thing. People are dancing, singing, already in a great mood before they even arrive. Instant friends every time. Once you're up top, the drinks are flowing and the sunset views are absolutely unreal. I haven't done a full meal here but the chips alone deserve their own Yelp page. Homemade, crunchy, covered in cheese. I could have just eaten those and been completely happy. Oh and one more thing, and I'm being completely serious: please go to the bathroom. Even if you don't need to. Especially if you don't need to. The views from the restroom might be better than some restaurants I've paid full price to eat at. Bar Bura is one of those places I'll keep coming back to no matter how many times I've been. If you haven't gone yet, fix that immediately.

    THE BIG: Located about a half hour north of Ensenada. Beautiful cliffside restaurant/bar that…read moreoverlooks the pacific ocean. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I had a reservation for 6pm at Cuatro Cuatros. The complex has a bar up at the top of the mountain along with airbnbs and a winery at the bottom. We parked our car and was escorted through a plank full of grape vines before getting on a shuttle up the mountain. Before we hopped on the bus, we got to choose a beverage of choice to go up the mountain. I got the modelito (small modelo). The shuttle ride is pretty steep and bumpy so I understand why they have a trained driver to drive. When we got to the top - wow wow wow. Beautiful views of Salsipuedes Bay. We had to walk along the side of the restaurant to get in. For food we got a oaxacan cheese taco, fish and chips with the catch of the day, and a crepe for dessert. For drinks we got a carajillo and a non alcoholic beverage. Everything was great however my favorite bite was the freshly fried fish and chips. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, we spent around 1800 MXN and had a great time. Beautiful views with good food. Definitely worth checking out once.

We ordered agua fresca Jamaica "hibiscus water", right on flavor, not too sweet. Chips and salsa kept coming, very Delicious! The Fish tostada was fresh and Delicious. The order of tacos Gobernador were perfect, lots of shrimp and melted cheese. The shrimp al ajillo with octopus was full of flavor, minced garlic, butter and the kick of chile de arbol.The cocktail "Coctel"campechana was very well portioned with shrimp, octopus and topped with a fresh oyster on a shell. The entrees all came along with white rice, chopped jalapeno, refried beans and a crispy salad. They have a big variety of alcoholic drinks ie: Pina colada, Michelada "Cubana", any beer , it has a splash of Worcestershire sauce, salt, lemon juice, salsa maggi! Definitely would recommend this Restaurant , very Authentic Mexican Seafood! Reviewing from a true Mexican point of view! They also have very clean Bathrooms well stocked with hand soap, toilet paper. They only accept cash.

The cocktail menu is interesting and full of lots of delicious options. My cocktail was made to perfection and our service was on point. We came in late one night so there was plenty of seating, but typically it's reservation only, so be sure and make a Resy if you want to make sure you can get in. Tijuana is full of hidden gems like this and Nortico is a welcome addition. Get off Revolution and check this spot out!

She…read moretaught me about all the different spirits that Mexico manufactures (other than the well known spirits of Tequila and Mezcal) and knew how to showcase the unique spirits of Mexico with cocktails that really leverage these spirits. She recommended a milk punch cocktail that incorporated Sotol, which is kind of like tequila but instead of fermenting agave, it ferments Dasylirion and is made only in Chihuahua. Then she recommended a cocktail that leverages a Mexican produced corn liquor in a Negroni but with gin subbed with mezcal. Both of these cocktails are bartenders choice and not on the menu, but the fact that they can execute such innovative cocktails so we'll speaks to the level of dedication bartenders at this bar have. Renee even gave pointers as to where I might be able to buy some of the bottles they use and for a few other bars of similar caliber to visit nearby. Instead of ending my trip at Nortico as previously planned, she helped me find a really cool new bar in Tijuana! Highly recommend.

Worth every mile of the drive. The setting alone is reason enough to go. You're dining outside in an agave field under century-old oak trees, with wooden boats scattered around and a mezcal tasting room right next door. It's one of those places where you look around and think "how is this real?" The service was super friendly and warm, which just added to the whole laid back Baja vibe. For wine they keep it simple: one red, one white, one rosé. No 12-page list to stress over, just easy and delicious. I respect it. The guacamole comes topped with chapulines and if you haven't had it that way yet, you're honestly missing out. That little crunch changes everything. Now, the cauliflower tacos. I need to talk about the cauliflower tacos. I'm still thinking about them. I will be back specifically for them. And do yourself a favor and ask your server about the speakeasy before you leave because it's worth it and you don't want to kick yourself later for missing it. Tahona is a total gem and one of the most unique dining experiences in Baja.
