Fauna is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've had in Valle de Guadalupe, and I don't…read moresay that lightly. Tucked into the Bruma wine resort, this place lives up to every bit of its acclaim.
YOU CAN BELIEVE THE HYPE. ILL ALLOW IT THIS ONE TIME CABRONES
It's tucked right into the wine resort in Valle de Guadalupe, and from the moment you arrive, you can tell this isn't your typical dinner spot.
One thing worth mentioning: the seating is communal, dining hall-style, so you'll likely be sharing a table with strangers. I know that's not for everyone, but honestly, it added to the charm for me. There's a relaxed, social energy to the whole place that fits the vibe of the valley.
While you wait for your table, there's a beautiful little garden to wander through, plus no shortage of picture-perfect spots around the property. The views out over the winery and valley are genuinely breathtaking -- worth showing up early just to soak it in.
Food-wise, I've done both the tasting menu and à la carte on separate visits, and both were exquisite. If I'm being honest, the tasting menu edges out slightly -- it's a full journey through what the kitchen does best, and every course felt thoughtful and precise. À la carte is a great option too if you want more control over your meal, but for a first visit, go with the tasting menu.
Negatives:
Other than this one server being a bit of a pinche mamon I don't have anything foul to say about this establishment. I also won't mention their name because I'm not a culero (something that individual should adopt himself, ubícate wey) makes no sense to not be welcoming and / or professional at an establishment like this. Not a good look dude.
Anyways,
Grab a glass of local wine or equally magnificent local cerveza, enjoy the scenery, and settle in: this is one of the best meals you'll have in not just Baja but literally in all of Latin America.
