I used to visit Cuatro Cuatros years ago and finally made it back to the property for the first time in forever to check out their newer restaurant, Tahona. Worth every mile of the drive.
The setting alone is reason enough to go. You're dining outside in an agave field under century-old oak trees, with wooden boats scattered around and a mezcal tasting room right next door. It's one of those places where you look around and think "how is this real?" The service was super friendly and warm, which just added to the whole laid back Baja vibe. For wine they keep it simple: one red, one white, one rosé. No 12-page list to stress over, just easy and delicious. I respect it. The guacamole comes topped with chapulines and if you haven't had it that way yet, you're honestly missing out. That little crunch changes everything.
Now, the cauliflower tacos. I need to talk about the cauliflower tacos. I'm still thinking about them. I will be back specifically for them. And do yourself a favor and ask your server about the speakeasy before you leave because it's worth it and you don't want to kick yourself later for missing it. Tahona is a total gem and one of the most unique dining experiences in Baja. read more
