A restaurant in a nondescript building on a street under repair and currently blocked off just beyond the restaurant address. Don't let that stop you. Enter and be shown a table by a friendly waiter. Dining room is outside and inside at the same time. Lots of air naturally circulating. Masks still in use here by natives and visitors alike. It was a Thursday night. We set out on foot from the hotel around 8 p.m. and were there in minutes. The menu is loaded with all the regular food you'd expect as well as local seafood, etc. But look close to find variations of old favorites. A Cadillac margarita en las rochas con sal started if off for me. An on-the-house appetizer followed close behind. So far, good enough. I told the waiter that I was thinking of a Mexican combination meal, you know, enchilada, chile relleno, rice and beans--the standard stuff. But you are in one of the great seafood places in the world. Didn't care, wanted "Mexican food." "So, what is this relleno with plantain? Never heard of this before." But more than that, was it any good? Oh yes, was the reply. You will like it. "Okay." Not a fan of live guitar music during dinner. But while the food was in prep a polished singer with guitar, seated near the entrance, played and sang at just the right volume with songs you'd recognize but the playing of which wouldn't make your food go down in lumps in time with the music. I won't bore the reader--if you've gotten this far--with the ingredients of my dinner except to say it was terrific in every way. But that chile relleno plantain thing . . . wow. Most excellent. Never had anything like it before. And as the restaurant owner later explained I probably never will unless I return to his restaurant. He told me he was from Veracruz, but the recipe is an adaptation of a Cuban recipe from his family, or something like that. Just try it. Whoops; I lied. I will bore you with one more thing: The enchilada had choices of sauce toppings. I chose the Mole Negro. Delightful, and again, different than the regular fare we mostly see in the U.S. Flan, just about right as near as I could say, not being a flan expert. Go here. You won't be disappointed on any level. The menu is extensive so don't imagine that this is just a rice and beans joint. It is anything but. If you must have seafood, it's here too. read more

Loved eating here. Very very cite atmosphere. They put fans on you which is nice since you are sitting outside. We were at thr transition from breakfast to lunch. Since they were slow they said they would make us lunch but only a few items weren't available at the time becauze the tortilla lady was not in yet. We got drinks until lunch time came along which was 11am. We got the ceviche and we couldnt decide in shrimp or fish and the waiter said we will make a mix. So sweet. Then we got the Chicken enchilada mole sauce. So good! The mole was delicious. Not too sweet nor bland. Just holy mole good! We then came here for breakfast the next day and everything was amazing. From rancheros to chillequilas and the burrito. Its huge and totally sharable. Would love to try dinner sometime. Looked very crowded and had a live singer when we walked by. The service and staff are very friendly and attentative. Drinks are made very well too. read more

Quality and price are comical. Two adults and two children can clear $120 USD without trying, and the food is deeply average.

We had a lovely lunch here the first day we arrived in Loreto. What a great location jn el centro with views of the Mission. The service was very friendly. We had the shrimp tacos and mole enchiladas, it was delicious! We also tried their frozen non-alcoholic drinks which were very refreshing. I highly recommend Mi Loreto. read more

Great ambience, You see a full complement of cooks making tortillas & sopas, only reason the place is not a solid 5 star is the waiter, older gentleman with potmarks tried to sneak in a margarita onto our bill & we were not drinking. Outstanding food. read more

Mi Loreto is a local favorite and a can't miss if you're in Loreto. The fish tacos are fresh and grande! Try them blackened. Also had the chicken fajitas which were excellent. Cold beers, yummy margaritas and friendly staff. read more

Good, drinks and service can't be beat in Loreto. We loved the vibe too. We were so full we couldn't fit dessert until we walked outside to grab our car and found Mare Linda marqusitas stand right outside of the restaurant. What a great way to top off a delicious dinner!! Mi Loreto was fantastic. read more

You won't regret coming here. The food, ambience, and service is spot on. The mango daiquiri was creamy and delicious. I ordered the culichi fish. My family ordered the catch of the day, cabrilla. It was prepared with butter and garlic on top of a potato purée. The tortillas are made fresh to order. You can watch as the they make them in front of you. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great food! The service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry, and drinks came really quickly. My wife had chicken in mole, and it was out of the world great! I had a sampler tray with 4 different dishes- I liked 3 of the 4, and enjoyed trying the different dishes. The grilled steak was outstanding- so tasty! We were full, so did not try any deserts. I don't think you could leave disappointed! read more

This place was delicious!! Complimentary mini sopes were so bomb and the Arrachera was perfect! Then the margaritas were on point. Everything about this place was perfect, they were covid friendly. This place is a must when visiting Loreto! read more

Service was strange waiter told us he would bring us an appetizer on the house - unclear why? And then just didn't ever bring one. Took our order quickly and brought the check quickly. Food wasn't hot. read more

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I've have ever had...anywhere ! We were a group of 10 and were completely blown away by the excellence on every level. This restaurant came highly recommended and I totally concur ! Not to be missed ! read more

Luis provided us with exceptional service. The food is authentic, home made and the service is top notch! If in town make this a dinner spot for sure! read more

The employees are very courteous. The decor is nice. Rather quirky. It's located on what used to be the Main Street by the church. The food? Our ceviche was on the warm side. It should always be served and kept cold. The guacamole good but . Orlando's is way better. The Chile leaves a lot to be desired. They have a bottled brand and a in house they said made habanero sauce. That's it? Isn't this Mexico? We have the fish ajo style. It was over cooked to the point of tasting like it was re cooked. Served with fresh steamed vegetables and mash potatoes. The efforts by the employees to help stem COVID-19 were as all in Loreto outstanding. That is why 3 stars. The food? 2 read more

Food was excellent. Came for lunch and was pleased with the selection of items. Ordered chicken fajitas, the huarache, and fried potato tacos. Everything was delicious, had tons of flavor. Fajitas were tender and had great flavor. Presentation was very nice. The fried potato tacos were for my daughter so didn't have the veggies on top but she loved it. read more

The guacamole & chips were just as expected, fresh and perfect. The ladies loved their frozen strawberry margaritas but the clear winner, for me, was the Tamarindo margarita. Definitely going to do my best to replicate that back home. The layout/decor/whatever was open air, welcoming and lends itself for long stays of friends, drinking and eating. Certainly looking forward to our next visit! read more

Very good food, service and ambiance. We went twice. The first time we just got nachos. They were way better than average, with light shredded cheese and excellent guacamole. The second time we both got chicken dishes - one with mole and the other with a banana sauce. Both excellent. read more

Our fave place to eat here! We ate here so many times over the week we were in Loreto. Loved the service, the ambiance and the food.

Highly recommend Mi Loreto!! read more

Staff is very accommodating.Food is prices are much higher than anywhere else in town. we did not like that the staff spoke English to us first. We all speak Spanish and are trying to learn more. Very touristy. We wish that Los Mandiles had been open that night! The best mole in town:) read more

Kind of tricky to find with the plaza remodel but the food is delicious and a great deal for what you get.

Nice outdoor seating under the trees after walking the city. Try their mango and coconut margaritas, they are delicious! Everything offered at this restaurant is fresh and homemade. The owner and his wife are very attentive and will try their best to make you feel at home. We were served a house appetizer with homemade salsas that was very tasty. They make an almond mole that is very tasty, the platano chile relleno was very good, a nice combination of sweet and salty. The steak was a little bit chewy and dry but tasty. Portions are fair. read more

This place is amazing! I've been travelling Mexico for close to 9 months and this place is the pinnacle of Mexican food for me. Most everyone has had Mexican food and dined at a Mexican restaurant or two or three....Mi Loreto is NOT one of those places. It's a Mexican restaurant unto itself and its own category. Yes, they have the standard Mexican food - enchiladas, rellenos, etc. But then they diverge. You can order a chili relleno stuffed with plantains or shrimp! You can order a huarache. Or how about a mushroom fajita? I have never seen any of those items on a US or Mexican menu. The menu is also filled with seafood options - shrimp, clams, fish. You can also order vegetarian or vegan, whichever suits you. We started off with a complimentary appetizer - it was amazeballs. The flavors worked well together and screamed authentic! Having heard of a huarache, but never had one, I gave it a go with meat. When it arrived, I thought "now, that's what I'm talkin' about." The masa was cooked through, the toppings of salsa verde, tomatoes, meat, onions and cheese were evenly distributed and fresh! I did have to add more salsa as I love sauces. I also had to bring home 1/2 as it was huge! My date had the relleno stuffed with shrimp and thought it was delish. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, no rubber taste here! I am not usually a fan of rellenos because of the sauce but this sauce I could have dipped chips in. It was a wonderful consistency of freshly made pasta sauce - you could see and taste the tomatoes and spices. No store-bought sauce here. The pepper was huge and bursting with shrimp. I'm coming back for the relleno stuffed with plantains and so should you! But, before I forget, let's talk marketing. All the plates and dishes had Mi Loreto on them - smart move! read more

Very traditional looking with effort made to make the place attractive. Experience. There has been effort placed in making a meal in this restaurant a savory experience. The kitchen and staff work like a well oiled machine adding to the great food. Star. Recommend. Extra, many locals eating there which in a tourist town says a lot. read more

Perhaps it was their bad day, but I was definitely underwhelmed. Fish with creamy spinach sauce and cheese . Skip that one . While my friend's fish Veracruz style was good, my dish was over cooked, very dry, and greasy from the cheese. The spinach was almost absent so what it felt like was one badly done tuna melt on a plate . Also, the restaurant did not seem too busy , but after being served our group was pretty much left alone , so drinks were left without refills after the initial pours. Meh, just about summarizes the whole experience. read more

Once again Mi Loreto did not disappoint! Excellent service, drinks and the food, OMG everything is sooo good. We had chiles en nogada, as a special order and they were amazing. Our friends enjoyed the shrimp ajillo and arrachera which melted in your mouth! read more

Great food and very cute environment. We loved the shrimp dish, although found the mole a bit sweet (they have a unique way of making it with almonds, which is cool but not to our taste). The margaritas are excellent. Also loved the pepino mezcalito read more
