Our main restaurant is a Mexican kitchen with heart; where you are welcomed like a family. This is homestyle mesa as it’s truly meant to be hearty, healthy and entirely handcrafted. You’ll find our cocineros pressing fresh tortillas day or night for breakfast, lunch and dinner, any time you crave authenticity. Indulge every wish. There is everything from Baja-style chilaquiles to langosta tacos to brined cactus ensaladas. Understandably, you’ll want to enjoy it all with a glass of tequila or mezcal. But why not try the road less traveled? Taste one of the “forgotten spirits” of Mexico, from Sotol to Pox to Tepache. Or, raise a glass of wine from the rising-star Guadalupe Valley region of Mexico. Yes this is a place to expand your horizons in a setting like no other. Where else can you dine suspended between sea and land, and surrounded by “espejos de agua” (water mirrors)? It’s a place that, no matter how many times you visit, you’ll always feel as if you just discovered paradise
