This was one of our favorite meals of our trip. We were a party of 8 and had reservations at 6:30. We made it during the golden hour and the photos were excellent overlooking the vineyards. The food was really great. We received an appetizer for the table from the chef to start off our feast. The Blood Clam aguachiles were amazing and a must order. It is not your typical agauachiles. The clams were chopped up with made it a perfect dish to share for all of us. It was excellent. We moved on to a very delicious salad that was not on the menu but we asked for a house salad that we can all share. It was packed with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, beets and radishes. We moved on to our main course and the ribe eye was seasoned and cooked to perfection, enough to share for about 4 people. We ordered 2 but we could have easily had just 1. The oven roasted Curvina with vegetables as also very tasty. It was not my favorite but when you have rib eye cooked the way it was, we didn't need the fish. We topped off the night with dessert a frambuesa with vanilla ice cream. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday with a group of 16 and somehow managed to snag a reservation just a week out (still feeling lucky because this place is highly sought after). For groups larger than 7, they require a prix fixe menu (5 or 7 courses) with the option to add a wine pairing. We went with the 5 course + wine pairing, which included a welcome drink (gin + cucumber based and very refreshing). The pairing was supposed to include four wines, but we only ended up getting one red and one white with refills which was a bit of a bummer. That said, the red ended up being one of my favorites from the entire trip, so partial win there. Food: absolutely delicious. Everything came out family style, beautifully plated, and perfect for sharing with a big group. No complaints on flavor or execution! 4 stars (and not 5): a few frustrating misses for a high end spot. First... they were out of tequila. In Valle. At this restaurant. What? Lol. Second, we were required to select our main entree in advance (choices were rock fish or suckling pig), only to get a call about an hour before our reservation saying neither would be available. The replacements were a fish (I think salmon?) and pork belly. Don't get me wrong both were good but last min menu changes like that shouldn't really happen at this level. All that said, still a great experience overall. I would come back with a smaller group so I can actually order my own meal and avoid the prix fixe surprises. read more

One star for views. One star for service. I have been to Deckman's a few times and have had great food every time. This was not a good experience. We ordered the lamb and some wine and coffee. The lamb was good. The vegetables were PATHETIC and a joke. See attached photos. How can the restaurant serve this. I will never go back to deckmans read more

The food and atmosphere was great, but unfortunately my group was grossly overcharged. We went here with a tour guide (Fernando Gaxiola of Baja Food + Wine) and he charged us 30% more than what we actually ate and drank. It's really unfortunate because it put a huge damper on what would've been a great memory and experience. I haven't been able to get refunded for the over-charge, but if it gets resolved, I'll gladly change my review. read more

We were excited to celebrate my husband's 40th at this Michelin Star restaurant in Valle, especially with a party of 12 where each couple was spending upwards of $150 for their meals. Unfortunately, the evening fell dramatically short of expectations. We arrived around 6:00 PM and were seated by 6:15. Water and bread were brought out, but the bread was incredibly stale and set a poor tone for a premium dining experience. We had brought a bottle and opened it for sharing around 6:50 PM, yet we were not offered other beverages upon our arrival as one would typically expect. The first course of oysters and ceviche arrived around 7:10 PM, and then nearly an hour passed with no sign of the next course. By 8:30 PM (about 2.5 hours in), we had only two courses and our own wine bottle, with no water refills or additional drinks offered despite the long wait. When a member of our party raised concerns, the waiter's response was indifferent and unhelpful, with no proactive effort to fix the situation or reassure us. The main chef appeared to not present that night, which may explain some inconsistency, but staff still needed to communicate delays and manage expectations. The third and fourth courses, plus an extra side of quails we ordered upon arrival, finally arrived after the 2.5-hour mark. The quail was fine, but the roasted seabass was overly salty and the accompanying vegetables were hard, not fork tender--basically inedible as a side. The mussels in the fourth course were great, but they did not redeem the sequence. The overall pacing, service attitude, and dish execution did not reflect the standards one expects from a Michelin Star restaurant, especially for a special occasion. As we were leaving, staff appeared to mock our dinner party and our complaints, which was deeply disrespectful and embarrassing for a group of guests. This conduct, combined with the delays and inconsistent kitchen management, left us feeling not just disappointed but disrespected. Notes: This restaurant recently opened a second location near our Northpark neighborhood in San Diego. It's a shame they chose to expand before fixing the service issues at the original establishment, to ensure things are truly impeccable before inviting more guests to the believe in the brand. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and uses it to refine timing, communication, and consistency so future guests can actually enjoy the promise of what they offer. read more

I have been coming here for years but each time I've been the quality has gone down :( First time here was more than a decade ago- and it was fabulous but like I said each time the food has been a little less great and prices are high. This last time I went we actually stopped and got food after we left because we were still hungry. The venue itself is beautiful and it's definitely a great spot- just wish food was bigger portions and as tasty as it used to be. read more

Baja Fine Dining, Barefoot Soul Deckman's is what happens when world-class technique meets the land it stands on. Everything here feels connected--smoke from the open fire, wine from the valley, ingredients pulled from the garden and sea. It's high-end without the ego, rustic without cutting corners. The views are unreal, the pacing is perfect, and every bite reminds you why you made the drive. This isn't just a meal--it's Baja at its best, plated. read more

What a lovely find! The food was exceptional....get the rib eye, you won't regret it! It's worth it. The experience was lovely. The view is perfect for a good sunset. Unfortunately we had too many clouds for a good viewing. Gentle reminder to bring a jacket as it does get cool there when the sun starts to go down. Attire is business casual mostly. There is a little bit of a walk to get to the bathrooms so be aware if you're mobility challenged. Service was also very good. If you're dining solo, sit at the Chef's table for a bird eye view of the culinary scene. read more

Quintessential Mexican, country, outdoor cook-out vibe. Wow! One of its kind. We wine tasted next door and conveniently walked over to dinner here. You'll notice a string lights but the fire cooked smell of meats and veggies is what draws you in. And once you walk in, you're surrounded by hay stacked walls and a large cook-out fire. Customer service is spot-on. Our visit was the end of January and as soon as the sun set, it was very cold. They offer blanket and fire heaters because it's an open space. The oysters were TO DIE FOR! So fresh and savory. A dozen was worth it. The bone marrow was equally good. And luckily I had enough space for the mussels with the Spanish base soup. We ordered the steak but it was subpar compared to the appetizers. Cocktail margarita was good but barely tasted the alcohol. read more

Enjoyed everything we ordered. The rib-eye was tasty. We also had the 7-course meal, it was great. Highly recommend the 7-course meal for sea food lovers. Loved the salad and bread basket! They asked several times if anyone had any food allergies (the hostess, the waiter & someone else). I guess there was a bad experience somewhere. ‍ Our waiter disappeared here and there but the other staff were quick and attentive. A bit pricey compared to other places but well worth the money because of the food and ambiance. The vineyard view was beautiful. Being in the moment with those you love made it special. read more

Im a regular out in the Valle. Deckmans is easy to find. Directly off main road. So that was a plus. You don't need a 4x4 to get there. Food was overall excellent. We opted for the chefs 7 plate omekaze including wine pairing. Best wine of the night was the 2018 4 red blend that was paired with the 6th dish. The Malbec paired with the lechon (7th dish) is an honorable mention. We added 2 dishes. The sardine was the star dish of the night. It had a surprising cheese undertone. It was amazing. Service...this is where they need the most help. They smile but tolerate you is how I would describe it. If you speak both English and Spanish...just go with English. Your Spanish will likely annoy them. We happen to get a wait person who was visibly miserable due to the cold weather. But the support staff was much better. So it balanced out. So your likely looking at the mixed reviews and thinking wtf. Well it was a bit of mixed experience. That's what it delvers. 3.5 to 4 read more

Amazing all around. Came to celebrate a friend's birthday with a group of 4 for dinner. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is beautiful and there are so many amazing views throughout the space. The cocktails were so delicious. We only tried the mezcal sour and carajillo. The carajillo was made with mezcal and it was the perfect pairing of mezcal and espresso! We ordered the yellowtail crudo, oysters, risotto, scallops, bone marrow, and ribeye steak. Between the 4 of us it was just enough and so flavorful. The standouts were the ribeye, scallops, and bone marrow. Highly highly recommend! read more

Definitely worth it. I enjoyed everything under a night sky, full of stars. Let's start with the decor, it was so beautiful. I love the lighting by candles. Out personal heaters and blankets. The restrooms were very beautiful love the farmhouse style. I love the rustic feel and the views of the vineyards. We enjoyed some fantastic oysters. The bone marrow was fantastic out of this world. The steak with the mashed potatoes was not like any steak I've ever had before. It was cooked to chef recommendations, and was a mouthful of flavor. I enjoyed the dessert, the wine and the espresso martini. We also did some shots of mezcal. The service was fantastic. Everybody was so kind, everybody was so sweet and they definitely had great attentive manners. I cannot wait to go back and take more friends with me. read more

I'd give Deckman's 4.5 all in all. The kitchen is a solid 5. The steak tartare and roasted quail were unreal. So good. The majority of the food was just a little too cool, however. Not sure if it's because the kitchen is outdoors and we ate on an unseasonably cold day, but, those logistical issues do have an impact on the dining experience. The ambiance was on the more rustic side as the restaurant is literally outside on the dirt and they build the walls with bales of hay. The tables and chairs could be a bit on a higher end side. It's great for lunch but not sure how it would play out for dinner. That said Deckman's uses a more "traditional" cooking technique, which I certainly appreciated especially compared to Fauna, which is a bit more "edgy." My guess is this place just needs a bit of time to grow into itself, but, if they smooth out some of the rough edges it has the capacity to become a gastronomic force to be reckoned with. I would absolutely go back and suggest giving it a try. read more

Recently awarded a Michelin star, this celebrated destination more than lives up to the buzz. The setting is truly magical -- an open-air kitchen and grill nestled in the valley, where upscale cuisine is prepared using the finest local ingredients. From the moment you arrive, the experience is carefully curated. The staff is warm, professional, and impeccably trained. They greet guests by name, and the captain ensures that you are comfortably settled before service begins. The meal starts with a thoughtful welcome: warm bread accompanied by butter, condiments, and a small portion of fish ceviche presented on a leaf -- a delightful amuse-bouche from the chef. The menu is well crafted and showcases the region's strengths. Proximity to Ensenada ensures that the seafood is impeccably fresh. The oysters were a standout -- delicate, buttery, and served with minimal condiments to let the quality of the ingredient shine. The Kampachi tataki, paired with thinly sliced cucumber, ponzu, and oil, was light, salty, and full of clean flavor. The fish had an excellent texture, avoiding any flakiness. However, the portion was disappointingly small -- more in line with a tasting menu bite than a proper starter -- and felt uncharacteristic and unjustifiable for a Michelin-starred restaurant. It left the dish feeling more like an afterthought than a well-rounded course. The pork jowl was well-executed -- rich and pleasantly fatty -- though its pairing with an underwhelming onion purée somewhat muted its appeal. The highlight of the meal was the dessert: a caramel toffee layered with mascarpone and crisp phyllo dough. Balanced and elegant, it provided just the right amount of sweetness and texture to perfectly conclude the evening. Pricing was also a pleasant surprise. With the exception of an oddly expensive ribeye (which I chose not to order), the rest of the menu offered excellent value for the quality delivered. The price-to-quality ratio was well maintained throughout. In sum, this is a cozy and enchanting venue with sweeping views of the valley -- ideal for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. Service is superb, the setting is unforgettable, and the food is largely excellent -- though the portioning on certain dishes could certainly benefit from a more thoughtful approach. I would gladly return, but with expectations adjusted accordingly. read more

Absolutely beautiful location! The lovely rustic restaurant has open and covered areas. Make sure you wear appropriate shoes for their dirt floors. The outdoor kitchen is a joy to watch and the service is impeccable. Don't be afraid of the restrooms, they are lovely, clean and work fine. The food was very good. The fish Crudo was fresh and delicious. Everything is farm to table and celebrated by the chef. The ribeye is big enough for 3-4 depending on how hungry you are and also came with roasted veggies. The mashed potatoes were creamy and perfect with the ribeye. And the the fresh tomatoes with salt were from their gardens and you can tell. My only negative was our duck was over cooked. But the charred kale it was served on was very tasty. We will be back! read more

Above and beyond! First off, this winery came highly recommended. Reviews were stellar and so were everyone's photos. Expectations needed to be tamed. We made advance reservations and it's an absolute must! We were a party of 9 people for 12pm lunch. Atmosphere in the winery was chill, it was rustic and very welcoming. Beautiful vineyards and we were seated in the shade overlooking the beauty of summer in the Valle. We were served two baskets of breads, and were homemade. Looked like they were just baked minutes before. The lavash bread was the table favorite. It was crispy and melted in your mouth! I had to keep it together. LOL We very much enjoyed the meal. Grilled octopus was perfect. Roasted bone marrow with the grilled bread served with kimchi, deliciousness! We ordered two ribeyes, which was served with a beautiful green salad. We celebrated a friends birthday and chef provided with two plates of beautiful seafood hors d'oeuvres. Everyone ordered a different cocktail. The pineapple mezcal was delish. I enjoyed a couple beautiful glasses of their DD tinto (blend of Syrah, tempranillo, Grenache, and Mourvèdre). As our lunch was nearing the end (we had two more winery stops), our group couldn't stop saying....yes, we will be back! Service was amazing! Food was most definitely, above and beyond expectations. Loved it here, our first of many visits of the beautiful Valle De Guadalupe! read more

We arranged a dinner for 8 people to celebrate three October birthdays. This would be my wife and i fourth time going and for four of the eight their first time. We rented a van to go and arrived at 3pm. We brought wine and some ordered beers. The beers took 20 min to come out. We then ordered some appetizers, one ordered risotto and rabbit. The server came back and said they were out...2 hours after opening? More beer was ordered and the server came back and said that they were now out of the beer that they had been drinking....again 2 hours after opening on a Saturday. We all decided to try the rib eye steak and ordered two for the table. After 20 min the server came back and said that the meat would take at least another 30 min because of the size of the steaks. We all agreed that it was not a problem. The steaks were served, presentation was great but other than the butt ends the steaks both were raw in the middle, actually cool to the touch. We had ordered the meat medium rare and they were awful to the point that most everyone tried a piece and either the black lab roaming the property got them or they went back on the plate to go home to our dogs. The steaks are 3000 pesos each and I think for that should be cooked correctly. We also ordered oysters which were super salty....overall a complete letdown. The four newcomers I know will never go back and I am leaning that was as well. I don't know if it's because the chef is now busy elsewhere but their quality control is definitely off. read more

This place is definitely worth the hype & can't wait to go back! We visited during late Spring so the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. It did get chilly in the late afternoon but the staff was great and gave us a portable heat warmer! Service overall was excellent. I will say -- one of the things I noticed about visiting Valle de Guadalupe was how different the service is compared to California. I think they genuinely like for their customers to take their time and savor each of the dishes and drinks! Nothing came too late, too early. Just right! If you're a Californian looking for "fast" service I'd suggest for you to reframe and enjoy! Although if you like for things to come out immediately, request it. What we got (note: this restaurant is a farm to table experience and menu will change per season!) -Complimentary bread basket: 9/10, delicious! We asked for a second basket! Loved the mixture of bread and crackers. The pesto dipping sauce that came with it was amazing! -Baja California Oysters: 7:10, I thought the oysters were too "big" for me but that's just my own taste preference when it comes to oysters. The flavors were there though. I think the only thing I felt like was missing was some acidity. -Kampachi Crudo: 7/10, it was just alright! I think it lacked a bit salt and overall seasoning. -Scallops Carpaccio: 9/10. Loved the usage of yuzu in this dish! I felt like it rounded out the rest of the flavor profile -Bone Marrow: 10/10, holy cowwwww! This was AMAZING. I especially loved the generous portions. The bone marrow was cooked just right with enough seasoning so we could add our own garnishes. They offered pickled onions (which I wish they gave us more of and sea salt. CHEFS KISS. I feel very inspired to try this at home! -Beef Shank Risotto: 7/10. Meh, this dish I could have done without. It was still very delicious though! Risotto was cooked just right and the flavor on the shank was great! -Ribeye: 10/10! Ok....i was not prepared for this to come out family style and with so much fixings! But yessss. We asked for medium rare and that's exactly what we got. The steak was perfectly seasoned. I'm not gonna lie....i love it when the fat is on there and it's charred to perfection! It also came with a salad, mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. read more

Deckman's en el Mogor is located in Baja's Valle de Guadalupe, or Guadalupe Valley. Mexico's premier wine region, producing 90% of all of the wine that comes from Mexico! Deckman's is open Wednesday - Monday. It is highly encouraged/recommended to make a reservation via OpenTable. The menu changes daily based on the seasonal availability of the ingredients. We visited the restaurant during our Labor Day getaway in Mexico. The trip was super spontaneous, so we were fortunate to get a last minute reservation on 09/03/2023 at 11:30 AM, earlier than we wanted, but it was great. The restaurant is totally outdoors. During our visit, there were tons of flies, but the staff tried their hardest to treat the issue, but the entire valley was experiencing this due to the harvest/weather. The flies really affected our experience. Since the restaurant is totally outdoors, check the weather and plan accordingly. The dress-code is casual, so relax. The food...the menu was confusing at first, but in a nut shell, they offer: Menu Bounty of the Baja, Pairing, and/or both. If you don't have a big appetite, you can elect to order a la cart. We ordered a la cart, so we could enjoy some wine at the winery located right above the restaurant after lunch. The restaurant uses the land from a small, amazing winery. Make sure to walk up to the winery after your meal, beautiful views and delicious wines. Back to the food...the food is prepared to order, so the freshness and quality were great. We ordered the following, all were amazing, except the vegetables from the garden, served hard/undercooked and a bit salty: -Octopus with charred cabbage, roasted cabbage, and bacon -Beef bone marrow with kimchi and grilled bread -Fresh oysters Dessert: -Plum variation, plum granita with olive oil cake/almond (olive oil, a bit much) -Chocolate bar, carob mousse/blackberry/almond praline/Crème Fraiché Ice cream The desserts were beautiful and full of flavor, but very rich, great for sharing and enjoying with others. The vegetables come directly from one of their several farms and they produce their own extra virgin olive oil. For drinks, all of the wines they serve are from Baja, so this is a great way to try wine and then visit the respective winery. They serve one type of local beer from Agua Mala brewery. Their focus is to be as sustainable as possible, and therefore they do not have bottled waters or soft drinks. Their table water, do not recommend. It's a drinking water system and not the best looking/tasting at all. read more

We heard great things about Deckman. We were excited that we got a reservations here. The view is beautiful. Overlooking the vineyard and mountain. They have an outdoor kitchen. Service- the worst service. Our server never came around. It was 100 degrees and we asked for water several times. We literally begged for water and it finally came out like 15 minutes later. And it tasted like warm sink water, oh they also charge you for their sink water. $60 pesos ($3) for warm sink water. "Water of the day" what a joke. Then the food. We ordered oysters, tuna with ponzu, the prime ribeye for 2, comes with the salad, vegetables, and purée of some sort. The oysters weren't bad. The tuna was good but too much ponzu made a little salty. The prime ribeye was not prime. It had no fat. It was the leanest meat ever with fat on the sides but no fat in the meat, so it made it tough. It was poorly cooked as well. More of rare. The veggies were salty as hell. The salad was good but was very tart at the end. We definitely were not impressed, especially eating at Fauna for lunch the same day. Didn't seem like they cared about their service, customers or food. It also took like 30 minutes to flag someone down to pay the bill. Service and food here is definitely lacking. read more

We went in January where the weather during the day is nice and warm if the sun is hitting on you, but can get really cold at night. This restaurant is covered outdoor seating. They do provide spaces heaters at your table to help fight the cold. Service was a bit slow. We were seated in a corner and might have been forgotten about because it took about 20-30 mins for someone to get our drink order. The qual egg and pork jowl were really good. We heard great things about the rib eye, and was excited for its arrival as it was the final plate to come. Our medium-rare steak came out a lot more rare. We tried our best to eat through it, but eventually had them cook it a little longer. Second time around, it looked a little broiled on top but flip the cut around it was still too rare. My wife voiced our concerns with how everything went this evening and they did give us is a discount, but we left disappointed. After all the rave reviews, we wanted a magical dining experience. read more

This is my second time here. And pre pandemic I thought it was amazing. This trip, was not as delicious as I remembered. Still beautiful rustic restaurant, much more security and exclusivity. A little over the top.. but ok. I ordered the butternut soup. It tasted a little more pumpkin tasting than butternut, the plate of veggies was beautiful not as roasted as I would have liked. The service was great! The ribeye was not a good as before. The mashed potatoes had a watery consistency of grits and no flavor. Our drinks were our favorite part. Won't be coming back here again, it's a little over rated for what it truly is. read more

Two of us went here on a Thursday night. We split the ribeye and the whole white bass (lobina). The fish was one of the best I've ever had. The ribeye came out rare as ordered and full of flavor. It was too much food for two people. We ended up having to take home some of the ribeye and barely got to the delicious salad and mashed potatoes. The service was spot on. Dress accordingly. There is really only outdoor seating here and it can get very hot during the day and very cold at night. They don't have many gas heaters to go around so you'll probably have to fend for yourself. The "indoor" dining room is just inside stacks of hay. The owner is American so you can expect a New American type of menu, which I'm guessing changes depending of what's in season. Great spot. Definitely make reservations. read more

Incredibly disappointed by the service and food. I have celiac disease and was assured my "allergy" would be taken care of. Instead of bread, I was brought COLD and BURNT tortillas more than 20 minutes after everyone else's got bread. I ordered the quail- it was dry and impossible to eat. No one ever asked me if my meal was satisfactory...it was NOT! I tried to tell the server I was unhappy and he didn't acknowledge or seem to care. When I told the woman who brought the check I was responded with "well did you eat it all?" I was dumbfounded. Not one staff member gave a shit about my experience and treated me like I was a dumb gringo for complaining. I have always thought of deckman's as the quintessential place to eat in Valle de Guadalupe but I will never eat there again and I will certainly not recommend it. Massively disappointing yet still incredibly expensive. read more
