    Yummy green juice

    One of the best breakfasts I had in Todos Santos. Gorgeous spot with great food. I enjoyed the outdoor space and would love to return.

    Live music and very good

    This very popular restaurant on the outskirts of Todo Santos is a local institution. Their breakfast menu is extensive and quite affordable, and their brunch and other sandwiches and wraps are large enough for two meals. On the Sunday brunch, we ate there, They had an excellent guitar player strumming instrumentals. You order from a central cashier, and they give you a number to take to your table while you wait. The food ranges from many egg dishes and omelettes to veggie burritos , and other pleasing, brunch dishes. The coffee and drinks choices are really good. The Wi-Fi works great, so a lot of people during the week spend their mornings here working away on their laptops. Ample parking on the side and it happens to be right in front of a wonderful community health and wellness center called Quattro Vientos. Check them both out if you have a chance.

    One of my favorite spots to eat in Todos Santos it's super cute It's a very tropical vibe with tons of seating and shade. The food is really good and the staff is great. There's plenty of free parking. They often have events during the evening so be sure to ask what they have going on.

    On the Christmas Eve morning, we dropped by our fav. Coffee shop (in Baja) at 8am, but it wasn't open. On the way back, we dropped by this cafe and decided to grab some coffee here instead. Once entering the front door, a beautiful resort like courtyard revealed. We ordered some cappuccino and the liked it. The coffee was good and the foam was very fine. We noticed there's a lot of tourists and expats here eating pancakes and muffins, so we decided to try some street food instead.

    Chill vibes

    What do you get when Silver Lake (think L.A. or Brooklyn gentrification) and flaxseed have a baby? Hipster brunch paradise! News flash... This is not how Mexicans eat. If you want authentic food when you're in an authentic town, don't eat here. The food is decent but nothing special. I ordered the "super" burrito and the only thing super about it was the name and price. I just don't want to travel 1000 miles to get something that mimics what I can find back home. I guess if Mexico is becoming hipster and gentrified to cater to tourist taste than it's losing its identity.

    Great vibe and excellent food. The perfect way to spend a lazy morning. Strongly recommend it.

    Visiting Todos Santos for the first time, we decided to try this place. Here, we had the best coffee ever. The food was delicious, fresh and the portion were big. My kids loved their pancakes. Prices are reasonable.

The food was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We began with the plantain appetizer stuffed with cheese and served over a rich mole sauce. It was out of this world. If I could change one thing, I'd make the plantains a little larger--they were a bit smaller than the size of my palm--but the flavor more than made up for it. That mole sauce was everything: rich, slightly sweet, complex, and the perfect complement to the cheese-filled plantains. I could have eaten a bowl of that sauce by itself. For our entrées, we had the chicken penne Alfredo and the ribs with raspberry barbecue sauce. The Alfredo was creamy, rich, perfectly seasoned, and served in a generous portion. The ribs were equally impressive--tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the unique raspberry barbecue sauce. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more ribs because they were that good. Great food, great flavors, and a memorable meal. If you're anywhere near Todos Santos or Playa Cerritos, I highly recommend making a stop at Santos Pecados.

Stopped by for a quick bite to find a no frills environment with ample seating and great service. The place is very clean and the side vegetables provided for just a few tacos are quite generous. Ordered 3 tacos and here's their ranking from my most to least favorite: - Grilled shrimp: shrimp tastes properly grilled with a nice charred flavor and there's a generous portion of shrimp on the taco. - Al pastor: very flavorful and the ingredients all mix well together with the soft cut of pork. - Asada: lots of carne asada to go around, but the meat was slightly tougher than the pork in the Al pastor taco. Note that all tacos come with a generous serving of guacamole, which is certainly a huge plus for the establishment! You also get to have a personal serving of cucumbers, radishes, lime, and a green chili sauce to go hand in hand with your tacos and you can go up to the front to fix yourself a side plate of some grilled sweet and spicy peppers, which were truly perfect. There's a fridge with lots of soda options available. The lemon Fresca was quite refreshing on a warm sunny day.

Drive carefully and use a navigation app because the roads off the highway are not well signed or lit. It's totally safe. I know what you're thinking...who needs a farm to table restaurant? Hierbabuena is so much more than a concept. Everything is crafted with the freshest and locally grown produce. If you're looking for cheap eats, there's a lot of options. If you need something special and aimed at great ingredients, this is the spot. Service is kind, knowledgeable, and prepared to give you recommendations. You're tucked away in a garden oasis, with incredible nourishment. There are many flowers, birds, and a great playlist. The meal started with a gratis tiny cup of tasty butternut squash soup. I requested a chicory salad because when is chicory a menu star? It's no surprise that this salad was good. The leaves were dotted with tangy goat cheese and gems of pomegranate seeds. Chicory was the star. I had the fish tacos, three dressed in adobo seasoning, a recommendation over the grilled sea bass special. The plate had three small spoons filled with guac, salsa verde, and the most incredible salsa macha. The salsa macha had notes of chocolate that paired well with the adobo seasoned fish. Don't miss this! The chile relleno was filled with quinoa and veggies, plated on top of two sauces. The flavors were really tasty and I appreciated the thoughtful vegetarian option that highlighted seasonal flavors. I walked in knowing I wanted cheesecake for dessert but then learned a favorite was their flan. I switched with no regrets. This flan was better and nothing like anything I've had before. If you like flan and love coconut, this is for you. The cocktails were so good. The martini was different, I loved this passion fruit margarita, the watermelon juice with tequila was refreshing, and they had great local beer options. I was very happy with this lovely meal. Service was wonderful. Please tip your servers; cash is preferred. They work hard and make all the efforts for a memorable meal.

    This review is only for the mezcal, we did not eat any food…read more This is a legit mezcaleria. Compared to other area bars, they have sourced bottles directly from mezcaleros in Oaxaca and other DOM states (vs average bottles you find at most other area bars e.g. Union, 400 Conejos). Presentation is traditional with sliced fruit & crickets. So why only 3 stars? Pricing!! Holy Cha-Ching as these prices are even more expensive than you would find in most US mezcal bars. For example, they have a flight of 6 pours (maybe 1oz each) for $53 USD! They have a Borrego that is going for $26 a pour...thems Las Vegas baller room prices!

They now have a kids menu too. You never know what the menu is going to be but that's half the fun of it, plus everything is going to be delicious so you can't order wrong. We started coming to El Refugio back in early 2018 when they were in their old location near the park. The new location is much bigger but hasn't lost their charm, it still feels like coming home when you walk down the alleyway. Do not leave without doing a mezcal tasting, it's worth it just to read the descriptions of the different mezcal on offer. Everyone who works there is an absolute delight. They also offer cooking classes which I highly recommend. We have done cooking classes in several other cities in Mexico and I can honestly say learning from Noel is an honor and a treat not to be missed.
