However, our driver named CLEMENTE, suggested to my spouse we go here, La Cocina de Doña Esthela. It came with a Michelin Star, but that seemed questionable. We went there on the advice of the driver, CLEMENTE. It was decent food and fairly well priced. COST FOR 3, including driver initially $75.00. I chose the 3 ENCHILADA DINNER, as did my partner. OUR DRIVER ORDERED SHEEP!!! As we waited for the car, the waiter came running out looking for us, mumbling something in Spanish. When my partner returned minutes later, he had about $25 in hand in PESOS!!! He said, after that whole thing, they said that they had admitted to OVERCHARGING US!!! So: $50.00

Despite being very busy, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. The space was a bit warm inside, but the incredible food and overall experience made it completely worth it. I had their famous Hotcakes de Elote (corn pancakes), and they were easily my favorite dish of the meal! They were unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also tried their Machaca con Huevo, which was another standout. Everything we ordered was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. Their homemade tortillas and salsa were the perfect finishing touches and added even more authenticity to the meal. The service was excellent -- our waiter was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I also noticed the staff singing "Happy Birthday" to guests a couple of times, making it a great spot for a special celebration. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting Valle de Guadalupe. This is definitely a place worth experiencing for the food, hospitality, and unforgettable flavors!

They were very welcoming and set us a beautiful table outside bringing lights and blankets. The view was great. All the staff were so kind. Chef Sandra came to introduce herself and was so enthusiastic. She answered all our questions about her amazing food. The award-winning wine options were explained in detail and we settled on a bottle of dry white and some rose by the glass. Both good value. Our server, Julia, was lovely - knowledgeable and friendly. As our appetizers we shared Pastel de Uchepo and the plantain with mole. As Entrees we shared shrimp and lentils and carnitas. All were delicious. We would without doubt visit Once Pueblos again. Highly recommend a visit.

The charcuterie board stood out with its excellent variety of artisanal cheeses and meats, all beautifully presented. Some of the cheeses were from the goats on the property, pretty cool--and other fresh ingredients came from the region. The "Torre de Uchepo" (Uchepo Tower) was the best. Uchepo is a soft tamale made from white corn, traditional to Michoacán, and here it is taken to another level. It's served with pork rib and a green tomato and puya pepper sauce, topped with fresh farm cream and Cotija cheese. An absolute must! The wines, all produced from the on-site winery, paired perfectly with both the charcuterie board and the tamale dish. The peaceful views of ducks in a small pond and a nearby pasture with sheep and horses. They have dogs too, which are all so friendly and, in my opinion, added to the experience as a dog lover. It's a serene experience that perfectly complements the quality of the food and wine. And the service, the service is like no other. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Valle de Guadalupe's culinary and wine scene. I look forward to returning for an actual meal, we had dinner reservations, but wanted to stop by. The restaurant is off the beaten path. At the gate, you'll enter and continue driving around the property to the top, where the restaurant sits with gorgeous views. You'll see a small pond and a set of stairs--follow them up to the top. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

Located just down the road from the El Cielo resort, Latitud 32 hosts a tremendous tasting menu alongside a deep wine pairing menu meticulously crafted to elevating your dining experience. For larger parties, you may need to make a reservation but once you've arrived, the staff will greet you and seat you appropriately. Their silverware is extensive and covers every portion of the meal from the light starter bites to the more hearty mains. And should you be participating in the wine pairing, you'll be enamored with the many wine glasses encompassing your space. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable in the wines that were curated for this meal and the head chef was fantastic in describing each dish, the ingredients that went into making it, and the significance of them with respect to the local community and culture. They communicated in English for us non-Spanish speaking folks and it was greatly appreciated for us to understand what we were eating and the effort put into crafting it. All the dishes were presented beautifully and consisted of a lot of fresh produce and locally sourced items. Each bite gave you a taste of Mexico, specifically, the Yucatán. I especially liked the seafood, representing its proximity to the ocean. The wines were exquisite; the whites were crisp and refreshing, rosés were exuberant, the reds were rich and bold, and the bubblies were popping with gas and flavor. They all paired nicely to add deeper undertones to the flavors captured in their complementary dishes. The meal ended with a fantastic crescendo of flavors from their "not so poor knight", a play on the moniker used by the Norwegian for their delicious French toast dish. The edam cheese added some savory notes and the cream settled it all with the fresh fruit atop. The soft center yet crispy exterior was a splendid blend of textures. With all the liquids, it was inevitable to visit the restroom which is located in the gift shop next door. Here you'll find ground local roasted coffee and other souvenirs to consider bringing back home. Overall, Latitud 32 lives up to the expectations of a Michelin rated eatery with its bold flavors and creatively designed dishes. The presentation was fantastic and the wines are an exceptional, and dare I say required, part of the dining experience. The price tag is obviously high, but expect quality and care here. Each tasting menu should have enough food to fill you up but for those simply looking to stuff up, this may not be suitable for you. Attracting those with expansive palates and adventurous senses, Latitud 32 will ensure your dining experience is one that you'll enjoy, reminisce, and share.

The filet was also tough. We talked to the chef and found out they use Black Angus, but it's not a top-grade cut, which might explain why it wasn't as tender as we expected. The seasoned veggies were really good though, and the Caballero No Tan Pobre dessert was AMAZING! Definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, beautiful place, good wine, and an amazing dessert, but for us the food was a little hit or miss.

The real stars of the meal were the Café de Olla and the Cinnamon Pancake (pro tip: order one for the table to share as dessert!). My husband's combination plate with chipotle chilaquiles was an easy 5/5, and the white pozole was a comforting 4/5. This is definitely our new favorite breakfast spot whenever we're in the Valle. Highly recommended!
