Need Special dinner recommendations for Loreto
Taking SWMBO to Loreto (she's never been there) for her B-day, what's a good spot for celebrating her B-day? It's been 4 or 5 years since I've been
there.
Thanks

If you don't mind 20 minutes of rough dirt road, we really enjoyed La Picazon ,just North of town.

I haven't been in 6mo or so....things change
La Mision, always great, very nice
Mediteraneo, good food, high price but good, great views
Santo Cielo, great place, great food, haven't been enough to fully support it
Mi Loreto, used to be awesome, haven't been in a while so may be back to its glory. Always great service, great Margs
Definitely not the end all list but those are the fancier places I can think of now. 6mo in Loreto means some places close shop, some places change
quality......

This is only open certain times of the year and I don't think they stay open very late. Need to check before going. But a good choice. Very
interesting place and a fun little drive to get there. Right on the ocean front across from Isla Coronado.

I'd put Domingo's above every place mentioned in this thread so far.
Great food, great interior and vibe.

La Mision is great for breakfast or lunch. Super cool to sit outside and look out on the ocean.

Regarding La Picazon:
The dirt road from town has been blocked due to a land dispute with a neighbor so you want to drive North on the #1 highway(the only highway) going
out of town. Past the cemetery and keep on going. Then on your right you’ll see a white arrow with the words Bajo. Just follow those signs and
they’ll lead you to the gates of La Picazon.

Only time I was ever there I had one of my favorite meals of Baja. It was a smoked marlin quesadilla, absolutely amazing. I guess that was already
ugh... 6 years ago.
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Domingo’s Steak and Seafood next to the SantaFe hotel. Great Steaks and Shrimp Scampi to die for. Excellent bar and service too.

We are big fans of La Picazon. Yes, a bit of work to get to, but we think worth it. Great views of the ocean and off-shore islands.

Canipole - Art in Food
You cant go wrong with most places that have been mentioned however for an experience that you will talk about for years to come I would go to either
La Picazon or even better yet, Canipole - "Art in Food".
They are closed most of the time and reservations are a must and usually they have a set menu. If you need help in getting in touch with them just let
me know and I will swing by. It's located just west of the town square, around the corner from the Mission.

Mi Loreto or La Mision Hotel. Ones in the town square area an the other overlooks the Malecon and Sea of Cortez. At La Mision make reservations and
sit on the terrace, you’ll love it!! The Plantain Rellano at Mi Loreto is their signature dish and delicious. Last time at La Mision we dined on
fresh caught fish 3 ways and ceviche along with some outstanding desserts.
Been Provecho
