What's better than enjoying a scrumptious meal overlooking the marina? Nada. Add a beautifully sunny day and stellar service... chef's kiss! My husband and I were in Loreto for the day as a stop on our cruise. After walking around town and soaking up the sights, we were ready to wrap up our afternoon with a couple of strong drinks and some local grub. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated like regulars. The family vibes here are real and made us feel right at home. The menu had so many delicious options, so we started off with a Cadillac margarita. Not only was it served in a large, sturdy--proper--margarita glass (not a tiny cocktail glass like so many places use), but it was also perfectly strong. Just what we wanted. A+ for that alone! For our meal, we finally landed on: - Ceviche (a must, so fresh and mouth wateringly delicious) - Shrimp pasta (perfect blend of garlic, cheese, and fresh shrimp. my husband claimed it's the best pasta he's had in a while) -Chile relleno a la cart (I was craving and it was perfectly cooked. exactly the right balance of spice and cheese I was looking for) Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Between the view, the drinks, the food, and the genuinely friendly service, this spot is a must-visit in Loreto. Can't wait to come back! read more

Mita Gourmet is a lovely restaurant at one end of Loreto's malecon, right across from the harbor. (It used to be on the town's main square so some photos may show the old location.) The chef and owner is Juan Carlos and his family runs the business. He came to our table to introduce himself, as well as to let us know he would accommodate our dietary preferences as best he could. It was a very nice gesture and you can tell that by his lead, good service is a focus here. The rest of the staff was friendly and quite humorous actually. They have quite a large menu. I got the lobster taco special and it was great. Some of my table mates said their dish was sauce-heavy so consider asking for light sauce. The ice cream was a great flavor but unusual jello-like texture. Still ate it all! read more

Great paella and ambiance. The owner and also the executive chef served our food and spent quality time with us to make sure we had a memorable experience. The lobster tails and grilled octopus on top of the paella was over the top! read more

The best seafood I have ever had. Outstanding view, service, and food. Better then compatible dishes served in San Francisco, Carmel, Monterey, or LA. I have never given a 5 star review. We had been to restaurants in La Paz,Cabo San Lucas, and Cabo. None better. We have been visiting for 40 years. read more

Stopped by for a drink and appetizers during a cruise stop. So glad we did! The food and service was fantastic, the the drinks were even better. The jalapeño margarita is a must try, and the quesadillas are simple delicious. This is a must stop for a meal or snack while in Loreto. The views from the restaurant are also very good. read more

Best meal in Loreto! Family owned and it shows in the love they put into the food and service. Chef Juan Carlos greeted us, and his grandson brought us our drinks, truly a family affair. Chef visited every table to help guide guests in ordering and to explain the way the food is sourced and prepared. We only had room to share the giant serving of paella (this was a portion for 2 but fed all 4 of us with leftovers!) We are going back again tonight to try more dishes and can't wait! read more

Mita Gourmet - 2nd dinner: Pescado Veracruz, steak and seafood pasta! - Mexican Near Me - Loreto, BCS

Generalmente no frecuentamos restaurantes turísticos con comida gourmet, ni de comida tipo francés o continental, pero después de no querer comer sushi en restaurantes sin clientes, decidimos probar Mita. El patio estuvo agradable. Había bastante gente, unas parejas de extranjeros jubilados y dos grupos de Mexicanos festejando alguna ocasión especial. El servicio es profesional muy atento. Tienen un menú muy amplio. Pedimos el pescado con salsa ajillo al lado, acompañado de arroz y verduras salteadas y la pasta en salsa de curry. La salsa de ajillo estuvo sabrosa y las verduras, muy frescas y sabrosas. Era suficiente para dos personas. No estoy acostumbrada a comer tanta mantequilla, y no podía comer mucho. No se nos ocurrió preguntar que llevaba la pasta con curry y esperábamos un curry tipo japonés, sin queso. Llegó una pasta con un gran montón de queso tipo parmesano. Nos hizo favor de quitar el queso, pero se les hizo raro y nos dijo que pasta siempre viene con queso. Nos dio pena porque son muy orgullosos de sus platillos. La pasta estaba de muy buena calidad, pero yo no puedo comer salsas cremosas con queso. Se lo llevamos y mi esposo se lo comió al otro día. No probamos cócteles porque no tomo y no probamos los postres. En fin, es un buen restaurant con buen servicio, aunque un poco caro. La comida es muy pesada para mi y no como carne, ni me gustan los productos lácteos. Entonces, lamentablemente, no nos gustó. read more

The restaurant is nice but the service is slow and none of the food blew me away. I wish that they had something amazing to write about. However, they have standard quality Mexican food. read more

The food here is some of the best I've had outside of Mexico City!! Service is professional, kind and attentive. Atmosphere is charming. Cleanliness A+. Don't leave Loreto without dining here!!! read more

Service and food are amazing!! And the view to the Sea of Cortez, unmatched! Can't recommend them enough!

The chilles reyenos was topped off w marinera sauce from the can. The shrimp w bacon wrap was burned. Definitely don't understand why there's so many ppl in this place. Would definitely not come back to this place. Is a joke. read more

This cute little patio served us spanking margaritas. We tried the tamarind, the passion fruit, and the strawberry and all were terrific. The homemade chips guacamole and salsa were excellent. I'd come here every day. read more

Good food, quality service (they try really hard), and fair prices. They don't skimp on food or attention.

Friendly staff tolerated our English well. They noticed we were trying to get away from the sun and kindly moved us to another table. My niece ordered chicken tacos and I ordered chicken fajitas. Both were very good. The salsa was muy picante! read more

Great stop for a late lunch and margaritas. The service was a bit sleepy at 3 PM but pleasant nonetheless. We kept it simple: fish and shrimp tacos with margaritas. The open air dining is a bit more sophisticated than the gravel floored dining we've experienced in our stay at Loreto, but it's all been good. I'd definitely return to this quiet, quaint restaurant. read more

Just ate here & it was wonderful We ate the shrimp cocktail & it was amazing, also tried the mole which was rich & creamy delicious. The beans rancheros were some of the best ever.... The food took a while to come out, but when it did it was spectacular. Do yourself a favor & enjoy ! read more

We were there a week ago, our credit card was double billed, we worked with the owners to fix it, they said no problem. Now we are home and the charge has not been corrected. The server runs your card, says it didn't go through, runs it again. Please be careful here. read more

Had fish tacos and guacamole. Good price. Chips were authentic. Good atmosphere too. Mello.

Mitas was recommended by a friend. Actually had to wait for a table, and glad we did. The food and service were really good! The staff was super friendly as well as other patrons. We were having such a good time talking with the chef and the people at the other table that we did stop to photo our plates. But trust me, they were photo worthy. The Pescado Veracruz is full of flavor and the fish was cooked perfectly. The Chicken stuffed w spinach was also a favorite. Oh, and a true Caesar salad with anchovies! Yum! read more

delicious! The shrimp in garlic butter was amazing and they made me a nice martini. But next time we will call ahead and order the paella which the table next to us had. It looked amazing! read more

So good we went twice. The first time I had a mild whitefish with a cilantro cream sauce along with a rice and a salad. I'm not normally a big fish person, but it was so good that i wanted to go back. The second time I had the trio with lobster, fish, and arracherra with steamed potatoes and a salad. Everything was delicious. Met the chef owner and his wide. They were a lovely and most interesting couple and we enjoyed chatting with them. read more

We stopped in for lunch today and ordered the Chile rellano, chicken and shrimp brochette and beef fajitas. We were very disappointed. We should have realized something was gonna be wrong when the flies followed our food out to the table and they had to bring a candle out to ward them off. read more

Nestled in the dead center of Loreto, right next door to the local brewery - this was the best meal we had while in Loreto and we had a lot of incredible meals. The chef came out and explained his approach to each meal and asked about our preferences. My wife had the most amazing fish with an olive sauce and I had an incredible chille relleno stuffed with seafood with a mole sauce. Days later I find myself day dreaming about it. Service was excellent and the price was incredible. If only I had more time to go back there again.... read more

There is no place in loreto where you can feel the magic of this little town combining with the delicious food served by their owners Martha and Juan carlos, they really make you feel as part of the family! They have best to offer when it comes to celebrate a special occasion or just a nice lunch or dinner! Checking out this place! Its a Must! read more

Mita's Gourmet is a must visit when in Loreto! If you are tired of the tourist trap type of places and enjoy great food, this is the place to be. Bring your appetite, but don't show up starving. The Chef Juan Carlos comes to the table to talk to each one of his guest, discussing the menu and customizing the dishes based on each individual. This makes the experience being there even more special, however it may take longer than expected depending on how many people are there at the moment. If you just relax, let him do his thing and enjoy your company (or people watch) , rest assure you will not be sorry. Juan Carlos loves what he does and it shows. My family and I have been to his place numerous times in the past few years. We are always happy to return. Last time we were in Loreto, we went to Mita's 4 out of the 6 nights we were there. read more

Very good seafood restaurant located just off the main plaza. Chef is very friendly and circulates among the guests. Unfortunately, the maitre d' was a bit of a jerk- he didn't believe that our party had made the reservation that we had, for some reason. read more

We were recommended this place by a Man named "Big D" he isn't a local, but visits Loreto a lot! We decided to give it a try! We actually ate dinner here twice during our stay! The Chef and owner Juan Carlos, came out to greet us and take our order! He is very friendly and quit funny! He had us try an octopus tostada for our appetizer! And then came out our meal!!! All I could say was WOW! It was amazing! I had shrimp wrapped in bacon with a mango sauce! It was the best shrimp I had ever tasted! We chatted with Juan off and on during out dinner, very nice man! A couple night later we decided to return with our group again, and there was a 45 mins wait, we were happy to wait! We went next door and had two for one margaritas! They came and got us from next door! We had dinner again with Juan, it was just as amazing as the dinner before! After dinner he found out it was out last night! He came out with glasses for all 6 of us and he gave us a toast with tequila! We hope to return next year in July to see Juan again! A must stop place for dinner in Loreto! read more
