    Stopped in for a cocktail. Drinks were well-made and tasty. Service was good, and ambiance was classy. Nice spot!

Perched on a cliff above the Pacific with nothing but open ocean in front of you, this is honestly one of the most iconic spots in all of Valle and I will die on that hill (pun very much intended). Getting there is part of the experience. You park at the bottom, hop on a shuttle, and ride up a winding dirt road to the bar. The drivers are so fun and honestly the whole shuttle vibe is its own thing. People are dancing, singing, already in a great mood before they even arrive. Instant friends every time. Once you're up top, the drinks are flowing and the sunset views are absolutely unreal. I haven't done a full meal here but the chips alone deserve their own Yelp page. Homemade, crunchy, covered in cheese. I could have just eaten those and been completely happy. Oh and one more thing, and I'm being completely serious: please go to the bathroom. Even if you don't need to. Especially if you don't need to. The views from the restroom might be better than some restaurants I've paid full price to eat at. Bar Bura is one of those places I'll keep coming back to no matter how many times I've been. If you haven't gone yet, fix that immediately.

    Good food and we love the friendly staff. I would definitely recommend it to my friends & family.read more

Worth every mile of the drive. The setting alone is reason enough to go. You're dining outside in an agave field under century-old oak trees, with wooden boats scattered around and a mezcal tasting room right next door. It's one of those places where you look around and think "how is this real?" The service was super friendly and warm, which just added to the whole laid back Baja vibe. For wine they keep it simple: one red, one white, one rosé. No 12-page list to stress over, just easy and delicious. I respect it. The guacamole comes topped with chapulines and if you haven't had it that way yet, you're honestly missing out. That little crunch changes everything. Now, the cauliflower tacos. I need to talk about the cauliflower tacos. I'm still thinking about them. I will be back specifically for them. And do yourself a favor and ask your server about the speakeasy before you leave because it's worth it and you don't want to kick yourself later for missing it. Tahona is a total gem and one of the most unique dining experiences in Baja.

The restaurant is full of beautiful art and little treasures that make the whole space feel magical. The service was amazing and very quick. They also bring a stand for your purse. All the food we ordered was phenomenal. We started with guacamole for the table (shared between six people) and it was the perfect portion. For brunch I ordered the Tostadas de Borrego (lamb tostadas) and pork belly tostadas with pozole, and every bite was incredible. The lamb meat was super tender and flavorful. The pork belly was flavorful and with the pozole created a nice bite. Definitely adding this spot to my "must go back" list and try more from the menu.

Also tried the quinoa salad and a beet plate from the specials menu. Both were insanely delicious, with portions so big I couldn't even finish. The vibe inside is adorable. It's kind of shabby chic farmhouse, cozy but stylish. I had a spicy mezcal margarita that was smoky, refreshing, and came with a frozen watermelon garnish that was such a fun touch. Service was super friendly and attentive the whole time. Definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets busy. I'll absolutely be going back.

The cocktail menu is interesting and full of lots of delicious options. My cocktail was made to perfection and our service was on point. We came in late one night so there was plenty of seating, but typically it's reservation only, so be sure and make a Resy if you want to make sure you can get in. Tijuana is full of hidden gems like this and Nortico is a welcome addition. Get off Revolution and check this spot out!

She…read moretaught me about all the different spirits that Mexico manufactures (other than the well known spirits of Tequila and Mezcal) and knew how to showcase the unique spirits of Mexico with cocktails that really leverage these spirits. She recommended a milk punch cocktail that incorporated Sotol, which is kind of like tequila but instead of fermenting agave, it ferments Dasylirion and is made only in Chihuahua. Then she recommended a cocktail that leverages a Mexican produced corn liquor in a Negroni but with gin subbed with mezcal. Both of these cocktails are bartenders choice and not on the menu, but the fact that they can execute such innovative cocktails so we'll speaks to the level of dedication bartenders at this bar have. Renee even gave pointers as to where I might be able to buy some of the bottles they use and for a few other bars of similar caliber to visit nearby. Instead of ending my trip at Nortico as previously planned, she helped me find a really cool new bar in Tijuana! Highly recommend.
