Perfect everything. Coffee and green juices are so fresh. My fam and I couldn't get enough of the comida.

Yummy green juice

One of the best breakfasts I had in Todos Santos. Gorgeous spot with great food. I enjoyed the outdoor space and would love to return.

Live music and very good

This very popular restaurant on the outskirts of Todo Santos is a local institution. Their breakfast menu is extensive and quite affordable, and their brunch and other sandwiches and wraps are large enough for two meals. On the Sunday brunch, we ate there, They had an excellent guitar player strumming instrumentals. You order from a central cashier, and they give you a number to take to your table while you wait. The food ranges from many egg dishes and omelettes to veggie burritos , and other pleasing, brunch dishes. The coffee and drinks choices are really good. The Wi-Fi works great, so a lot of people during the week spend their mornings here working away on their laptops. Ample parking on the side and it happens to be right in front of a wonderful community health and wellness center called Quattro Vientos. Check them both out if you have a chance.

One of my favorite spots to eat in Todos Santos it's super cute It's a very tropical vibe with tons of seating and shade. The food is really good and the staff is great. There's plenty of free parking. They often have events during the evening so be sure to ask what they have going on.

On the Christmas Eve morning, we dropped by our fav. Coffee shop (in Baja) at 8am, but it wasn't open. On the way back, we dropped by this cafe and decided to grab some coffee here instead. Once entering the front door, a beautiful resort like courtyard revealed. We ordered some cappuccino and the liked it. The coffee was good and the foam was very fine. We noticed there's a lot of tourists and expats here eating pancakes and muffins, so we decided to try some street food instead.

Chill vibes

What do you get when Silver Lake (think L.A. or Brooklyn gentrification) and flaxseed have a baby? Hipster brunch paradise! News flash... This is not how Mexicans eat. If you want authentic food when you're in an authentic town, don't eat here. The food is decent but nothing special. I ordered the "super" burrito and the only thing super about it was the name and price. I just don't want to travel 1000 miles to get something that mimics what I can find back home. I guess if Mexico is becoming hipster and gentrified to cater to tourist taste than it's losing its identity.

Great vibe and excellent food. The perfect way to spend a lazy morning. Strongly recommend it.

Visiting Todos Santos for the first time, we decided to try this place. Here, we had the best coffee ever. The food was delicious, fresh and the portion were big. My kids loved their pancakes. Prices are reasonable.

Happy until they gouged me in the exchange rate. I'm cool with $1-1.50 less than but $3 pesos difference was not cool.

La Esquina was our home away from home while in Todos Santos. We are still dreaming about the smoked marlin tacos!

This review is only for the mezcal, we did not eat any food…read more This is a legit mezcaleria. Compared to other area bars, they have sourced bottles directly from mezcaleros in Oaxaca and other DOM states (vs average bottles you find at most other area bars e.g. Union, 400 Conejos). Presentation is traditional with sliced fruit & crickets. So why only 3 stars? Pricing!! Holy Cha-Ching as these prices are even more expensive than you would find in most US mezcal bars. For example, they have a flight of 6 pours (maybe 1oz each) for $53 USD! They have a Borrego that is going for $26 a pour...thems Las Vegas baller room prices! I dig it but I've not encountered those prices anywhere else in Mexico or most places in the US. Great space tho, and I hear the food is excellent.

This is my all-time favorite place in Todos Santos. Every day there is a limited menu with veggie,…read morechicken or red meat, and seafood options and a daily desert. They now have a kids menu too. You never know what the menu is going to be but that's half the fun of it, plus everything is going to be delicious so you can't order wrong. We started coming to El Refugio back in early 2018 when they were in their old location near the park. The new location is much bigger but hasn't lost their charm, it still feels like coming home when you walk down the alleyway. Do not leave without doing a mezcal tasting, it's worth it just to read the descriptions of the different mezcal on offer. Everyone who works there is an absolute delight. They also offer cooking classes which I highly recommend. We have done cooking classes in several other cities in Mexico and I can honestly say learning from Noel is an honor and a treat not to be missed.
