Best Authentic Restaurants in Valle de Guadalupe

Great food , fast service, quiet ambiance . The server was very accommodating to out request

This was the best Omakase experience I’ve ever had. Chef Rob Ruiz is incredible at what he does, and he prioritizes sustainability which is so refreshing to see. Each course was delicious and so well thought out, I can’t wait to go back again.

I'll start with the bad: This place is hard to find, and I just can't believe that the cost of a few well placed signs is prohibitive. When you arrive at the gate that said Once Pueblos, you are at a T-intersection. Left is the big road, obvious, but if you saw it from the approach, you know it's over on the right on the hill (the treacherous road). We went left but it seemed to lead nowhere, so we turned around and went right (OMG, if you're not in a humvee, you're screwed). Two or three sign would have saved us a lot of effort! That said, this place is special, stunning, a destination worth the drive across the border on it's own. The service is so professional, polished, knowledgeable, and on point-- there is nothing north of the border that comes close. We had just dined at the lovely Finca Altazano (which is justifiably beloved in the Valle), and Once is on another level. This is Micheline food. It's inventive, it's careful, it's intentional, and it is food as art in every way. But... Go soon. Because it was also empty when we were there. And I fear that they cannot survive without patronage. I hope we were there on an off (Friday) night, but if I were you, I'd go get this experience while it's available. The room is gorgeous, minimalist but with tasteful art, and huge walls of glass overlooking the Valle (perfect for the cold evenings). This is elevated cuisine where they got everything right. It mystifies me that it was not packed and wait listed for the weekend.

Dinner was great, had a nice time

This is now my favorite place for breakfast at El Valle the Guadalupe. Best French toast I have ever had find very relaxing
