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.

Dymtris La Fonda has been one of my must-visit stops for well over 15 years, and it continues to…read moredeliver the same authentic charm that made me love it in the first place. Few places stand the test of time the way this one has--it's not just a restaurant, it's part of the rhythm of life here. Whether you're a longtime local, someone passing down the coast, or a first-time visitor looking for something real, this spot offers a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you've been coming here forever. The menu highlights some of the best local seafood you'll find in the region. Everything from the shrimp and octopus cocktails to the fried fish plates and seasonal shellfish is consistently fresh, prepared simply, and packed with flavor. The seafood soups and stews are especially satisfying on cooler days--rich, hearty, and loaded with generous portions. One thing I always appreciate is that the flavors never feel overly complicated or drowned in heavy sauces. Instead, they let the ingredients speak for themselves, which tells me they're sourced with care. And of course, the homemade tortillas are an experience all on their own. Soft, warm, and hand-pressed throughout the day, they come out with the kind of taste and texture that reminds you why fresh makes all the difference. They pair perfectly with just about anything on the menu, but especially the seafood dishes and traditional breakfast plates like huevos rancheros or chilaquiles. It's clear that these aren't just an afterthought--they're a foundational part of every meal here. The drinks are always ice-cold and refreshing. Whether you're ordering a fresh-squeezed juice in the morning, a chilled soda or agua fresca at lunch, or a margarita or cold beer with dinner, everything is mixed and served the right way. On busy summer afternoons, it's the perfect place to recharge with a drink in hand and salty ocean air just steps away. Over the years, service has remained friendly and attentive, even during peak hours. The staff works quickly without making you feel rushed, and they always seem tuned into the needs of both regulars and visitors. The casual, unpretentious environment makes it easy to stop in anytime--flip-flops or motorcycle boots, family breakfast or late-night bite, doesn't matter. This is the kind of place that bends to the moment. No matter the time of day--breakfast, lunch, or dinner--Dymtris La Fonda is a reliable stop for a satisfying, authentic meal that represents the local food culture perfectly. It's consistent, it's fresh, and it has soul. If you're anywhere along this stretch of coast, do yourself a favor and pull in for a meal. You won't regret it--and chances are, you'll add it to your list of tradition the way I did. Highly recommended for anyone craving comfort food, local flavor, and honest seafood done right.

Word on the street is that Dymtri has passed away, which would explain the sudden downfall of…read moreDymtri's La Fonda. We stopped in on a Friday night and it was pretty much dead. One waiter working the whole restaurant. There was a sign out front that said "cash only" which was odd. We followed up and they said we could still pay with a card. We started with drinks which were watered down. Then a Mexican combo plate and fish tacos. The fish tacos was fried halibut, not grilled, topped with just lettuce and a spoonful of guacamole. The Mexican combo was a taco chili relleno and a cheese enchilada. Both came with rice and beans which were bland. The side salad was equally disappointing with a romaine leaf, cucumber tomato and papaya. The blue cheese dressing was from Smart & Final. The only good thing was the Mexican coffee that came with the meal. It's sad to see what La Fonda has become with its history and was once considered the best restaurants in the area.

Beware of This Bar!…read more Initially, I liked this bar and had fun the several times I visited and stayed at a VRBO close to the bar. Until I didn't....... Someone who worked there as a bartender stole my phone. I tracked my phone which was inside the bar, and it rang from behind the bar. When I confronted the employee/son of the owner, he threw me out and slammed the door in my face. The bar caters to an older crowd, with an average age of 50-75. Despite the crowd, no one helped me even when they heard my phone ping. I went to the gate guard for assistance, but he also refused to help. I even asked him in fluent Spanish to call the police, but he declined. Watch your belongings here! Also, when confronted, they just throw customers out. They also charge a 5% tax on the bill without informing you. The food is microwaved and basic, definitely not worth it. I suspect the booze is watered down too. The DJ, who seemed to be around 80 years old, was trying his best to keep up. Later that night, after contacting the property manager of the house I rented, I heard a thud in the backyard of my rental and found my phone there. Very suspicious, but at least I got it back. You'd think they'd cater to guests and younger crowds, but they only price gouge tourists. I won't be spending my money here again, and I suggest others steer clear of this establishment.

La Fonda, I'm not coming back!…read more I've been coming to La Fonda for over 20 years. It used to be a truly special place -- full of charm, good food, and atmosphere. Unfortunately, over the years it has steadily gone downhill. These days, I only come out of nostalgia. My visit last night convinced me it's time to stop trying. On a Friday evening the restaurant was nearly empty, the margaritas were watered down and tasteless, the food was bland, and the service was mediocre at best. Prices remain high, but the quality and experience no longer justify them. It's really sad to see what has become of this once-iconic Baja landmark. Sitting at the gateway to the Valle de Guadalupe, one of Mexico's great culinary destinations, you'd think they would take inspiration from what's happening around them. Sadly, they haven't. La Fonda, I'm not coming back.

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.
