We had such a fun time here! After going to a winery & feeing a little sleepy, this was the perfect pick me up. The DJ was playing great bops, food & cocktails were quick & yummy! The staff even helped clear a few tables so we had a make shift dance floor! Would def return! read more

We were in Ensenada for some work and Kings and Queens was highly recommended and it did not disappoint! FAST Food: we started with an appetizer Aguachiles with a salsa verde, while not the hottest sauce they serve it with, we were warned it is picante, and it was, but so refreshing! A bottle of the tinto mezclado. Our entrees were Saffron Rice with seafood, super tasty. I even ate the pulpo! We also had the Bistec which was cooked amazingly! It came with a cheese enchilada, beans, Guac and pico de gallo. We ended with their Elote pastry with a scoop of vanilla, an espresso and cappuccino. Everything was just amazing. Atmosphere: this place seems like it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's just 10 miles from Ensenada and set in beautiful wine country. There is an amazing patio, views for miles. A full moon was rising over the mountains which was stunning. Inside is super modern, big fireplace in the middle. We were there early afternoon so there were just a few people there. I'm sure this place is packed at night! Service: our waiter Humberto was awesome. We were his only customers at the moment so he took really great care of us, explained some his favorite items on the menu. Tips: I would really have liked to go back at night, the views here are amazing and I'm sure the night sky is awesome. I will make this a definite stop every time I go to Ensenada. read more

We really enjoyed this fun Cantina. Food was delicious and their happy hour is excellente!! We tried the pork belly bites ( which were basically pork belly with tortillas so tacos yum) we also had the fish tacos that were in a tasty tomato based sweet chipotle? It was really good . We also Had the Korean tacos that were like a Hawaiian pig style with corn, salsa, creama and cilantro? So yummy. Fun vibe gorgeous views, good service! We shall return read more

Came for a Bachelorette Dinner and was pleasantly surprised with this place. First and foremost they were able to seat us as a group of 16! (Luckily we called in advance to make accommodations since we were a huge party). 2 stories, upper level is an outdoor deck with an overhead covering. Live DJ and big screen behind the bar. The DJ was OK the night we went, he played a variety of music but his transitions were not the best and he went from upbeat Spanish music to slower English and EDM so was a little all over the place towards the end. Combination of high-top table and VIP "booths". Quite a bit of staff who are pretty friendly and attentive. We ordered a bottle and they made a whole show; I'm talking fog machines, sparklers, music, whistles, and more. Ambiance/Service - 4.5 stars. For food/drinks, I am giving it 3 stars. I ordered a "spicy margarita" and it was so watered down. There was zero spice to it and it just had floating pieces of cucumber I think it was. Honestly, very disappointed for its price. As for the food, I ordered aguachile negra and it was good! I will say I wish it was a bit more lime-y and spicy but overall it was good. All in all I'd definitely come back as their menu is extensive (a little overwhelming) but a good amount of options for sure! Definitely a place to visit with friends if you want a little more of a "club" scene in Valle. read more

Overall I personally wouldn't come back. Maybe if I was a local, I would visit. But I definitely won't be returning. The experience was not bad but it wasn't great. Food 4/5: Definitely good here, doesn't stand out much but it's better than average. Food is fresh and priced well. Drinks 3/5: Nothing stuck out about the drinks. Some were better than others and some were just watered down. Over priced for the value. Seating and environment 5/5: They have plenty of seating and the environment is beautiful and very relaxing to enjoy. Service 1/5: Our waiter was not attentive and we paid $140 for our entire order (including shots) we left a $45 tip and we were chased down by the hostess and told us we did not tip enough. Then the manager came out and made us feel threatened that we only left $45. He said minimum was $60. Horrible experience. Overall great place but not worth the drive or experience after feeling like I was getting robbed. read more

What a disappointment!! Waited 40 minutes for our food and it never came. The staff was not helpful and never apologized. It was also super loud. Never again. read more

We sat on the rooftop, which felt more like a night club than a restaurant. The DJ was loud and the tables were buying rounds of shots and bottles, making the whole place extra lively. There is a huge menu that ranges from sushi to tacos to burgers.. I got the Kings Favorite taco plate which is a grilled bean, cheese, and steak taco that comes with 3 side sauces and a side of more beans. This place I'd a vibe so come prepared to party. read more

This is my second time coming to King & Queen in Valle de Guadalupe. The vibe was cool, the music was good and the service was very attentive. Having come on a busy holiday weekend previously, it was nice to have the restaurant basically to ourselves I ordered the blue cheese salad, while one of my friends ordered the seafood rice and the other ordered the chicken tinga Taquitos. The blue cheese salad was really good. I enjoyed the bites that had the blue cheese and nuts because it was simultaneously sweet and savory. The portion was huge so I only had about half before I was full Both of my friends found their dishes to be equally good. The portions were great for the price and were presented beautifully King and Queen is definitely my favorite Friday night spot in Valle and I will definitely return next time I visit! read more

If you come to Valle de Guadalupe, don't miss this place. Birria tacos delicious! Octopus super tender and flavorful. A nice selection of wines and a lot of fun drinks. The place is very lively, and a really fun decoration and not too far out of the way And last, but not least, the service was great! A great change from all the terrible service we been having at these other so-called five star restaurants. Tony El mesero fue excellente!!! he was very attentive, and it was just the right amount of asking questions and checking in to see if we were OK. Will definitely come back here my next trip to Valle. read more

Service was first rate. The ambiance is vibrant and fun. It is "The Place" to see and be seen in the Valle, especially on Saturday nights. No worries, there are plenty of nearby rooms to spend the night should you go beyond your norm. DJ, dancing, great appetizers, and cocktails. read more

We visited many restaurants during our trip, but I have to say this is one of the most versatile places I have visited yet. They have pages and pages of choices not only in drinks, but in food. Their drinks were refreshing, especially during the hot summer days. Their food came out quick. This place is a total vibe. You arrive and you're automatically just happy to be there because it's definitely a cheerful place to come and listen to music and just relax. It is kind of loud so if you're trying to have a conversation, this is not the place to be but if you're trying to have a fun time then it's a perfect spot: read more

Very Americanized restaurant. Loud music. Food is good and one of the few places you can find American sports on TV. Pretty touristy.

I really wanted to love this place, service by David was perfect, drinks strong but the food was lacking. The hot cheeto fries needed something else, the hot cheeto was not the star of the dish and was overpowered by the sauce. The vegetarian tacos were meh, the tortilla was soggy and the salsa bland. The best dish was the shrimp tempura jalapeño roll which I added cream cheese to and was just really good. We also got the taco sampler plate which was basic, no flavors to write home about. The margarita Sampler was nice it was served with a small firework which was funny to have lit up at an almost empty restaurant. I really wanted to love this this spot as Mr Tempo has such good energy on social media but it didn't live up to the hype. The portions are huge so it's a good spot to go with a group. read more

I first had King & Queen in Little Italy in San Diego and loved their vegetarian menu so when I was visiting the Valle I had to try it here too! We made reservations that same day on their website and when we arrived we were quickly greeted and seated. They have an outdoor patio and are pet friendly :). There was upbeat music playing but it wasn't too loud where we could still have conversations. We had a 7 yr old dining with us and it wasn't too party-like around dinner time which was nice. We ordered the hippie tacos, tacos de la sierra, and the hot cheeto cheese fries. The hot cheeto fries were so good! Not overly spicy or too heavy. The tacos de la sierra were crispy and flavorful. Their chipotle sauce paired well with the grilled tacos. I enjoyed the hippie tacos a little more than the tacos de la sierra because of the sweet potato tortillas and the avocado puree. So much flavor in one bite! I also had their sangria and I really enjoyed it! It was super refreshing. If you decide to dine here, make sure to also visit the lavender fields right behind their restaurant. The lavender is super fragrant and there are lots of picture ops!! read more

Fun atmosphere, reminds me of a Calaveras type of vibe. The food is ok, but not amazing. Servers are friendly and attentive but the service isn't out of this world. I'd return especially if you're looking for something different than a wine tasting experience. Food and drinks are a bit pricey like everything else nowadays. Seems like a fun place to go for a birthday since the servers bring out a Mexican flag and make it a whole production if you're celebrating. Good place to chill for diner on the patio or upstairs if you want a dj and lounge experience. read more

Weird issue when we arrived -- we had reservations at 7pm but were told at the gate that we could not drive in due to it being "over crowded." They had people pull over along the long drive way & park until they said it was okay to drive in. However, some cars were allowed to go in lol? Seemed like they picked & choosed who could go in. Anyway, after 40 minutes of waiting, I was about to pee my pants so we drove into the parking lot anyway. We get to the stairs to walk up to the restaurant & realize that they were still seating parties, didn't even bother to ask if we had a reservation or not. The reservation was a complete waste & not necessary. I can't imagine how long we would've waited in the car before given permission to park inside. Despite the weird hiccup, after getting seated, we had an amazing time. Our server was so sweet & attentive. She bussed every single plate & piece of trash. Food was amazing. Very consistent with the food we've had at their Brea location. Tomahawk steak did take extremely long -- the rest of us finished our food by the time the steak came out but it was so bomb & mouthwatering. We weren't in a rush so we thought it was worth the wait. Hoping that the "reservation" issue isn't consistent on a daily basis. Other than that, no complaints! read more

Fun spot to check out if you're not into the wineries.. it's located basically in the middle of no where. You drive up a dirt road and park in the dirt. Follow the music. Surprisingly it was packed with families and the music was good! Don't drink and drive.. it's a long lonely road back to the city if you're not staying close by. read more

So I've been to tempo many times and it's my favorite place in LA. So of course I planned to go to king and Queen while in the valle de Guadalupe . Ambiance - open space that has great decor . Love the view of the winery and that you can actually walk trough. The music is lively and just being in an open area was great . Food- the food is delicious I had the octopus salad that was one of the best things I had there. Vip tacos, Shia Chile trio . Every bite was a delicious experience and exactly what I expected from a Mr. Tempo Restaurant . Drinks- were yummy but not enough alcohol I asked for the same drink and it was very inconsistent .Even the same bar tender was inconsistent . A disappointment since everything else was a great experience . Over if you're in the Valle de Guadalupe a must to come over have good food a drink and relax . Make reservations since that's a must in this place . read more

I believe the second time I've been to this restaurant and just like the one in San Diego, this place is lively. The place was just starting out for the night and the top floor was going as the music, drinks and crowds were flowing. Tonight there crunchy roll, poke nachos and aqua chilies were outstanding. Along with the drinks and dessert everything was delicious. Also the service was excellent, oh! Also the Birria tacos were a hit as well. read more

Service: First Class! These servers did not miss a beat when it came to hospitality. We did not have to look for them to order, in fact, they were always close by, very attentive. Great place to come with family, friends, significant other, lover. Bravo, K&Q! read more

I really enjoyed this place. The location is impressive and so is their customer service and attention to detail. The food and drinks are to die for to say the least. We started the evening with some oysters and margaritas. I had their signature avocado margarita, it is one of the best refreshing drinks that I ever had, not heavy or strong, and full of flavor. For the main dish, I had their grilled octopus and man, was it captivating. The octopus was full of flavor and not chewy. We concluded the evening with their churro cart. The cart contains six churros, three dipping sauces and there scoops of ice cream. The whole meal was decadent in flavor. I can honestly say this place is amazing. A must if you are in Valle de Guadalupe. In terms of pricing, it was all under $200 + tip for three adults. read more

Food and drinks were good. Aaron was our server and he was amazing! Ambiance was perfect

We came here on a Saturday night with a large group. We attempted to sit upstairs but they were completely full up there. Instead, they situated us on the main floor. While that was great and all we were trying to go up stairs the entire time we were there, we kept asking but they said it there wasn't enough room for our group. When I went to check out the upstairs myself I found out that we could have bought bottle service to sit up there. Considering the amount of money I already had spent downstairs this would have been no issue. Anyways, drinks could have been better. I got the cantarito and there was more juice than alcohol. I proceeded to just order shots afterwards. I also ordered a El peligro which was a better drink choice. A lot of the drinks come with sparklers when they arrive to your table. The drinks come out quick. The venue itself is lively with good music. The staff could have done a better job at communicating with our group. Overall, definitely a place to check out in the valley. read more

King & Queen Cantina is one of the top favorites of mine in Little Italy, SD location so thought it would be a great idea to check this one out in Valle de Guadalupe. As a family, we enjoy visiting the many vineyards in Valle and this place was amazing! Parking was not remotely an issue at ALL. We visited on a weekend and was light with visits yet the inside of the restaurant was full. We made a reservation and we'd recommend going about that way, if the option is available. It is a dog friendly location, as furry babies are welcomed outside in their patio. Coming to the entrance is a set of stairs, to which there are some fun and unique photo ops! Their patios have heaters readily available. The views are spectacular. To start off beverage-speaking, I was very tempted to have their infamous margarita flight, but figured for the sake of being in Valle, I would pay its respectful tribute and order some wine. Staff was polite to offer their recommendation of their red blend from their selection of wine options available. It was delicious. As for food, WOW! We had a variety of dishes and all were scrumptious. My favorite was the PULPO--guilt-free, light and healthy. It was cooked perfectly where it was tender on the inside but a tiny fraction of solid on the outside. Seasonings paired perfectly with the choice of dressing and salad vegetables it sat on. We also had the arrachera, which was served on top of grilled nopal (mexican classic staple touch) with a cheese enchilada, paired with beans, tortillas, and guacamole with tomato bits and queso fresco tots. Their bacon-wrapped shrimp were also fantastic! We asked for the sauce to be served on the side, just in case. Well, we quite ended up dipping the shrimp in the sauce due to how deliciously it paired and tasted altogether. I definitely recommend you order as is, no modifications needed! Also, their chipotle shrimp pasta, AMAZING. Except, if you can't handle spicy levels, mention it to your server and see if there can be modifications, granted we all can handle our spice differently, but just to be mindful just in case. After your meal, you can outside towards bathrooms and catch the sunset in the hills, spectacular views! You must not forget to visit their "Aires de Lavanda" area where you can walk, sit and sip on some wine indulging in lavender field fragrances. It was such a relaxing and unique experience! I highly recommend and will certainly be telling all my friends, acquaintances and communities about it. read more

We drove by this place and it looked like a lot of fun so we decided to pop in. The whole restaurant was beautiful and it overlooked vineyards which was great. There aren't many vegan options in Mexico so when I saw a "Wanna be vegan" on the menu I was really excited. Unfortunately not everything is vegan in that section which is quite misleading. I know that this is a chain in the states, but I was really hoping that this would be authentic Mexican food since it's in the Valle. Granted I got a vegan taco haha with the cheese removed but I was underwhelmed. I was also there with a couple girlfriends who are not vegan, and they just commented that the food was okay. They got the steak tacos and the surf and turf. However! the pleasant surprise here is that their drinks are amazing. I highly recommend the margarita flight! Overall, I reco to come here to sip on some margaritas and enjoy the views. There is much better dining in the Valle than here. read more

We have been coming here for years. Now it seems they are taking advantage of their customer. We came with a party of six. Ordered gardez which has pieces of mango. margarita and it came in a tiny glass. We asked normally it comes in a large goblet for $13.50. They just pored the tiny glass in a goblet and it was at a quarter level. Looked watered down. Two tiny slivers of mango and cucumber. What turnoff. Ordered carne asadas natchos, portion very small. Took 25% of the normal size. . No napkins and one fork. Took 20 minutes to track someone down . By then nachos cold. We didn't want to order any thing. Why a downgrade.! Yet they. Want a tip!
