For starters, this place is Michelin recognized, and was rated best breakfast in the world in 2015…read moreby FoodieHub. I told myself if I'm ever in the area again, I have to make an effort to eat at this place. Well, the opportunity arose as I was staying at a nearby winery. The biggest problem I encountered was finding a ride to get to this restaurant. Taxis are nonexistent in the area. Ubers are only in the area when someone from Ensenada requests a round trip to the area, so no they are not available to others. Therefore, I expressed my frustration with the front desk at my winery hotel and they took on the task of finding me private transportation. About 40 minutes later, they called my room to inform me that they located a driver. Unfortunately, he requested an inflated price for the to and from the restaurant. Private drivers down here know that you have few choices, therefore, they can ask inflated prices. Yes, I was in a pickle, but I really wanted to go. I did not rent a car because many of the roads hug cliffs and everyone drives fast, because they know where all of the mountain curves are. Being from Chicago, where we also drive fast but don't have mountain cliff roads decided to play it safe and let others do the driving for me. Anyhow, I debated, and in the end agreed to the expensive terms because when I going to get the opportunity again to eat at a place rated best breakfast in the world? How was the breakfast? It was absolutely delicious, everything was made from scratch. I ordered the cafe de la olla which interprets into coffee from the pot because typically it is prepared with raw sugar (piloncillo), canella (cinnamon sticks), and orange zest. How was the coffee? Delicious. I had some machaca (small bits of dried beef) with eggs which came with delicious refried beans. I also ordered the excellent chilaquiles with an egg and a side of bacon. I also needed to order the one thing most talk about on their menu which is the corn bread pancakes. They used the recipe for a typical corn bread sold down here called pan de elote to make the pancakes, and yes, they were excellent. Turning the batter from this recipe into pancakes was a brilliant idea. Also, I cannot leave out the great tasting freshly made corn tortillas that came with the food. The tortillas down here taste different from the ones back in Chicago because down here a white heirloom corn is utilized rather than the sweet yellow dent corn from the Midwest. Was it the best breakfast that I have ever had in Mexico, or anywhere else for that matter? Well, it definitely lived up to the hype the breakfast was amazing and I do highly recommend it. If you do decide to visit, my best advice is show up early because a line forms very early. I have been lucky to have also had other amazing breakfasts in Mexico and other places in my travels. The secret to this restaurant sits right behind it. On the restaurant grounds is an active ranch, which also doubles as a small zoo, where they source their milk and meats from. Yes, they raise their own animals which later become items on the menu. Does that fresh matter? Yes, it absolutely does make all of the difference. Does it sound cruel? Well, that is a whole other conversation. Let's just say the animals are treated humanely. All of the livestock looked happy as they roamed around the grounds. Unlike the way livestock is treated inhumanly in the United States in dirty overcrowded housing where some never get to see the sun or roam freely in the open air. Livestock in the US are constantly given antibiotics and growth hormones, also fed gmo feed with questionable health implications for those that consume them.

This place is closer to the main Boulevard, so if you're staying in the hotels around there, you can probably walk there. We went during the week, so I'm not really sure how the atmosphere/waiting time is on the weekends. We walked in and we were greeted right away. They asked us if we wanted to sit indoors or outdoors. It was a nice morning, so we opted for the outdoor area. There was a large family already eating out there, but they said hello to us and we sat at our table. They took our order and the food didn't take long to arrive. In the meantime, the kids and I were looking around at the different plant and signs they had around the place. The food itself was good. It all had tasted great and our waitress came by often to check up on us and make sure we were ok. As we left, they bid us farewell. Really a lovely place to come to and get away from the busy boulevard. Definitely recommend coming here for a bite.

El servicio, la comida y especialmente los batidos de chocolate saben muy mal. Lo único que estaba bueno fueron los chilaquiles con pollo. Les pedimos que devolvieran el batido porque sabía muy viejo, podrido y estropeado, y todavía nos cobran por él y cuando pedimos que lo quitáramos, la señora que trabajaba en la caja tuvo el descaro de decir, bueno, todos lo probamos, y parecía que sabía bien para nosotros, lo cual sabes que era una mentira audaz. Todavía espero no tener ninguna intoxicación alimentaria por ese batido. Tampoco vinieron y volvieron a llenar mi café de Olla. Además, el estacionamiento es muy limitado y los precios son altos para la comida y las bebidas mediocres. Fue una gran decepción, ya que no hemos estado aquí en años solo para tener esta mala experiencia la próxima vez que vayamos a otro lugar, en lugar de eso no volveremos.

My husband ordered the coconut coffee and he said it was strong. My son really wanted to order off the lunch menu, but they only serve breakfast until 11am. He ended ordering the breakfast sandwich, which left him a very happy camper. My daughter ordered the red chilaquiles and she was pleased with her meal, but not super excited about it. Red sauce is mild. They also could have been served hot, because they arrived at the table a little on the lukewarm side. My hubby and I both ordered the tortilla españuela - they warned us that it would take about 25 minutes to make. Glad we waited because it was delicious. It's almost like a breakfast casserole that has eggs, potatoes, onions, cheese, and chorizo. Oh, and they garnished it was some spinach and cherry tomatoes. Let me not forget my husbands Cinnabon. It's served straight out of the oven. Light, fluffy & not too sweet. We would order it again. The restaurant is cute and trendy, clean and friendly staff. Our total bill for 4 people was a little over $70 us dollars, which I thought was kind of steep. But .. we all ate well and had fancy drinks. If you're in the area, try this spot.

I politely pointed it out to our server, Daniel, expecting it to be corrected. Instead, he casually dismissed it and said, "It's only 100 pesos more," which I found unprofessional and disrespectful. It's not about the amount it's about accuracy and customer service. Because of this interaction, I decided to remove the $20 tip I had initially left. When I did, he took the receipt to his manager and claimed that I hadn't tipped at all. I explained the situation, but he responded with a smirk, which felt mocking and made the situation even more uncomfortable. Additionally, the service overall was slow. We asked for water multiple times before ordering, during the meal, and even after finishing and it still took a long time for it to arrive. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, despite the setting. I hope management takes this kind of behavior seriously and works on improving both service quality and professionalism.

We went for Mother's Day and it was beyond the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Our server Blanco was fine and did his best, but the food was absolutely terrible. Dry meat, dry and flavorless chicken, thick chewy machaca, and a salmon that was supposed to be grilled came out drowning in grease. Even the dishes looked dirty. We spoke to the manager Oscar, hoping something would be done, but he was completely dismissive. Just the typical apology and nothing else. This place used to mean something to our family and we even had a close relationship with the owners, but ever since the previous manager passed away, this restaurant has turned into a tourist trap. The quality has completely fallen apart while the prices keep going up. Extremely expensive for mediocre food and poor management. There are so many better places to spend your money now. Sadly, El Nido is not what it used to be, and after this experience we will never return or recommend it to friends or visitors again
