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!

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!

We read about this restaurant in a recent community publication so decided to stop in and try them…read more The restaurant is located on the upper floor above Agua Viva realty office and next door to Giggling Dolphin. There is a tight narrow spiral staircase which you need to navigate to get to the restaurant however our 91 year old mother who only has one eye was able to manage this. Arriving to the top you have a beautiful open view dining area under a palapa with views of the town and the malecon. There are several tables for 4 along with a small bar area. We were immediately seated and greeted warmly by Veronica who is the owner along with her husband Luis. They do have a full bar along with bottled waters and a few different sodas in cans. The menu is simple and mostly seafood with one chicken dish and a few steak dishes. I am not a big seafood eater so I was happy that the menu could accommodate me as well as the rest of my family who loves seafood. Veronica reviewed the menu items with us and informed us that they only use fresh ingredients to cook their meals and listed ingredients such as sea salt, ground pepper, white wine, pablanos, garlic, chilis, mango and cilantro to name a few. She assured us they did not use MSG or processed ingredients. After ordering Veronica brought out a basket of freshly made chips along with their special salsa which is made from tuna, mayonnaise and chipotle - The chips were fresh warm and nicely seasoned, and the salsa was a definite hit and something very different for my family. The food is prepared fresh, so it was a bit of a wait, but sitting under the palapa we enjoyed the views and nice conversation. Two of us ordered the fresh fish which is served with rice and sweet peppers with mushrooms with a garlic sauce and I had the chicken with Poblano sauce and home made mashed potatoes. When the food arrived, the presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was amazing. The rice has a green coloring to it which Veronica explained was from seasoning with a poblano and cilantro mixture. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the garlic sauce enhanced the flavors and did not over power the food. The chicken with Poblano sauce was out of this world - the sauce was creamy and so flavorful but not spicy hot. The mashed potatoes were the best I have ever had dining out in a restaurant. All in all a great dining experience made even better by the wonderful owners, great food, and nice views. The total cost for two fish dinners, a chicken dinner, one soda and two mineral waters was $660 pesos

Once again, the open air restaurant was lovely and creative with the lighting woven into tree branches overhead. Our table had a view of the square and of the walkway to the sea.

When I heard my tour group was heading to Zopilote, I was a little skeptical but I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out their beers are pretty good! I tried the taco and flight dish, which came with three tacos and a flight of four. I tried the lager, the hazy IPA, the regular IPA, and one of the stouts. I actually got the other stout (the nitro this time) as a pint. So it was good enough to order more! I'd give the food three stars. Not my favorite tacos I had during the trip. But I know other people in my group enjoyed their meal (pizza in particular). The location is hard to beat, being on the main square of Loreto with primarily outdoor dining. Note: the bathroom is a single stall that opens to the exterior and the lock does NOT appear to work. Multiple members of our group either walked in on someone or were walked in on. Yikes.
