Fantastic views. Great food. My wife had the Pescado Ajo which disappeared post-haste. I had the Camarones with Chipotle cream which was OUTSTANDING. The flan was on-point. The margaritas were the right balance of sweet & sour( hard to come by). The service was prompt, friendly, and not over bearing. I give this place a Spinal Tap 11! read more

An easily accessible bite to eat near the port with a beautiful view! I had the huevos rancheros for breakfast and a Bloody Mary, which came out to about $30. Service was quick and friendly. Food was decent, just not "the best I've ever had" in terms of flavor profile. I'd probably give an overall rating of 3.5. read more

We were there for lunch. Very nice location right across from the malecón. We had their guacamole which was very good and such a generous serving we couldn't finish it. I had fish tacos which were tasty but they wrapped the three in single corn tortillas, had to have them bring more since singles don't hold up. My wife had a Caesar salad with chicken which she pronounced tasty. Couple Dos Equis and we were done and quite full. Server was good. We've been there before for dinner and they know how to handle fish. Good restaurant that we do recommend. read more

It's right at the arch as you head towards the cathedral, my wife mentioned there were locals eating there and we went in. We ordered eggs and beans because it was cheap and it was amazing. Homemade tortillas and just delicious, simple and wonderful. We would have just walked past. read more

Sea bass for dinner was amazing! Great friendly service! After 3 days in Loreto, this ranks in the top of our list! read more

Had lunch here yesterday and it was fantastic! My husband and I shared the Carnitas Baja Style Tacos and the Grilled Beef Taquitos which included rice. Both dishes were delicious and we completely cleaned both plates! Service was quick as well; maybe 12 min from the time we ordered to the time plates were set in front of us. We had lunch outside under one of the umbrella tables and it made for a beautiful lunch setting listening to the waves roll in on the beachacross the street. Very happy we stopped for lunch here! read more

We stumbled upon this place and not only is the view great, but the food and drink are impeccable! The margs are strong and perfectly mixed and if I remember correctly around 170 pesos. My husband got the seafood pasta with red sauce and had them add a little spice. He's not an octopus fan so he had them just do shrimp and scallops and loved it. My shrimp in a white wine sauce had the perfect amount of parm on top and tasted like a fancy Alfredo sauce. This place was the perfect end to a long drive down the Baja before crashing at the hotel for the night. We will definitely be returning. Put it on your list read more

The food was great, I had chicken tostados and hubby had Fish tacos. The guacamole was delicious. All was wonderful

We had boat reservations at 8:00am so we were looking for a breakfast place and when we arrived around 7:00am they said they weren't open yet but as we started to walk away they called us back and let us in to eat. The place is cute and clean and the food was great! read more

Went here 3x. First was late lunch when we arrived. Then breakfast then dinner. Food was great specially the fish with garlic. Big portions. Service was great. Sat by the window overlooking the malecon. read more

Fantastic place for lunch !! Ate there 3 times in 3 days and every meal was top notch. Seafood is absolutely amazing !! Cabrillo is the best I have had anywhere. Their shrimp was incredible as well. Very large and were similar to lobster. Had their shrimp cocktail as well as fried and both were fantastic. Also had tacos one day and those were fantastic as well. Cabrillo and carnitas both. I can't recommend this place enough. Service was great too. It was extremely hot and humid so their AC was quite enjoyable read more

A large group of us joined for dinner and had amazing fish with garlic and oil. Delicious! Best meal I've had here in Loreto this visit.

This place is amazing! The food is so good and everything is reasonably priced. Not cheap but affordable for it being seafood. Compared to the states. The place is right on the main street, the view of the ocean right across the street is priceless. read more

The octopus was amazing and reasonably priced. I got it sauteed in garlic butter and it came with rice and vegetables and lots of octopus. Delicious! Also delicious guacamole. Servers were sweet and the atmosphere was fun--old movie posters. Good drinks too. We will go again! read more

A totally lousy experience. I was half way my appetizer, they brought my main course. I was half way my main course , they started packing everything for closing. Very unpleasant and unsensitive to customer. Barely finished eating, they told me they were closing and got me the check. With a surprise $8 for a glass of wine. It's the price of a full bottle in Mexico. Price gouging ! Cold and unsensitive service. The cilantro octopus did not even taste cilantro at all. Avoid this place. A disaster. read more

This place sucks. Service is terrible - the waitress practically threw the menu at us. The chilaquilas were drenched in sauce and practically inedible. My only guess is they get good reviews because of the view and it's at the base of the pedestrian walkway. Very disappointed. read more

One of the top 2 places to eat in loreto! A/c in the summer, big view of the sea of cortes- The food is always the highest grade and well cared for! Enjoy read more

Service at this restaurant was beyond rude and subpar, bordering on seriously obnoxious. No matter how nice I tried to be, the waitress was purposefully slow, long faced, and her bad vibe could be felt all the way to the Yukon, but at the end she expected and took (yes, she seriously just took it) a 27% tip! Actually, the Yukon in winter is warmer than the service at this restaurant on the malecón in Loreto, Baja Sur, on a hot summer morning. I was treated like a dumb tourist even though I am a Mexican citizen and spoke her language. The location and view are good, but the town is so small and the malecón so short in distance, you can find good locations and great views almost anywhere you go. The food was ok, not terrible, not great. I make much better and traditional Huevos Rancheros at home (pst, chef, real traditional Mexican Huevos Rancheros do not have ham sandwiched in between a stack of tortillas under the eggs, it'd be nice if you actually described your personal version of the dish on the menu for the costumer to know before ordering). Many other much better options to eat in town that are friendlier and happy to have costumers back, to keep their businesses afloat after such a rough year of Covid lockdown and lack of visitors. I'd recommend: AVOID AT ALL COSTS, but hey, if you enjoy playing the dumb gringo tourist and falling for that common trap, plus being "robbed" of an undeserved tip at the end, go for it and experience it for yourself. read more

I had the grilled fish tacos, it was plenty of food with 3 good sized tacos and they were delicious. The beer was cold and the mixed drinks came in pint glasses. Great service and nice views! read more

We've been here twice before and the shrimp appetizer was always awesome and it was all my wife ordered. This time the shrimp were overcooked and the juice/sauce in the cup was sweeter than before. I guess it's time to find a new go to place. read more

Walking distance from our hotel, the food was yummy, juice was fresh Ava staff was very helpful. We explained that our 3 year old was complaining of an ear ache, they offered to call a doctor for our, and gave us directions to the nearest clinic. read more

Came here on a busy night when the tables were full. I'm normally skeptical at places so close to try water as they tend to be overpriced and so-so. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was not fancy but was very delicious with nice portions. And, the waitstaff was superb. read more

Wife and I looking for bright, airy clean place for breakfast. Found it here. Friendly staff, marvelous view of Sea of Cortez from our table. Scrambled eggs yummy. Moist, tasty bits of tomatoes, onion, cilantro as well. We shared a waffle as well. Best waffle I've had in years! Highly recommended! read more

Hands down the worst service in Baja. The staff was so rude that we didn't stay to see how the food was. Avoid this place at all costs! The manager was insulting and just downright rude. Go pasted this place to La Mission restaurant for friendly service and great food. read more

Looking for and authentic Mexican meal in Loreto isn't hard. But finding an outstanding and original one, with a view, isn't always easy. You get all that at Loreto Islas. Not a fancy place, but located directly on the Malecon, overlooking the Sea of Cortez, with a relaxed casual atmosphere. The food, at least a meal I had, was just fabulous. Mexican clams with chorizo, onions, Mexican seasonings and cheese. What an appetizer! Margaritas Muey Bueno as well. read more

They didnt have half the menu in stock, and changed our orders without noticing us because they were out.

On the corner. Cool vine and great fresh margaritas. Sweet people and live music on the patio made us feel like we were fighting ally feeling the spirit of Mexico! Fish tacos were pretty good. The guacamole and authentic chips was awesome. Think I'll have another margerita! read more

I think this is my favorite place so far. ...very fresh abd clean and the view is the Sea of Cortez was so enjoyable. ......very good food abd very nice people there. Great for breakfasts and dinner. The omelets were delicious and the chilaqueles were too read more

This restaurant is superb! We went there for dinner and had the pescado ajo and the cilantro pulpa (octopus). The fish was fresh and amazing. We had the clams for an appetizer, large serving and delicious. The atmosphere was colorful and relaxed. The price was right. Strongly recommend read more

Wish I could give zero stars. The food was actually great and service seemed to be too... until later when I realized they had stolen money from my wallet. They put my purse on a rack and moved it several times to serve us, to water the plant, etc. It was a ruse/ method for getting into my purse and stealing $80 right out of my wallet. " Fina" was our server and must have had a part in this. read more

Amazing food! Giant quantities and excellent quality seafood. I had the spaghetti with scallops shrimp and octopus super fresh tender delcioso! read more

We visited for breakfast. The restaurant opens to sea views at the windows. The atmosphere was light and cheery. The music a bit too loud but upbeat. Lovely table linens. We ordered Huevos Rancheros . The menu stated, "Simply the best!" We agreed whole- heartedly. Delicious layers of tortilla, cheese, ham, beans and eggs in a delightful mild Mexican red sauce. The cost, about 100 pesos, $5.50 ish US. Big portions. Clean restroom too. read more

We had a great meal at Islas, with great service with friendly waitstaff and timely delivery of some nice meals. The fish was fresh and nicely prepared. I would go here again in a heartbeat. read more

I am giving them only four stars as we only got to try them once and it was just breakfast. The other reviews are accurate as to good service, nice location right on the Malecon looking at the sea through big open windows and good food. The gentleman serving us breakfast was both friendly and funny and willing to try and joke with us in both english and spanish. With this being my first trip to Mexico and virtually no spanish language skills, I really appreciated his extra effort to be more than just a waiter and make us feel truly welcome and appreciated. If there was one thing I regretted with the trip it was not having more meal times to spend in delightful and friendly places like this. Given our hotel was just a block away (La Mision) we walked by here often at all times of day and they often had good size groups that seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves which I suspect is a further endorsement of the place. read more
