Bathed by the Pacific Ocean to the West and by the Mar de Cortés to the East, California’s Peninsula is layered with a rich history of cultures reinventing seafood with bold flavors. At our Barra de Peninsula we serve the best bounty that these Oceans have to offer, and we celebrate the people who make our coasts so delicious, from Uni and clam divers to the Concheros in Baja and much more.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Paco Moran

From the OpenTable editors: Aguachiles and ceviches are just the beginning of the seaworthy delights at Loreto, a sweeping, modern indoor-outdoor restaurant that transports you straight to the Mexican sea. Explore the menu that dives deep into the flavors of the California Peninsula: Think scallop tostadas with wasabi aioli and whole branzino served with black beans, rice, avocado, habanero onions, and mini quesadillas. Toast it all with an oyster-infused martini.

Loved it!! Food was amazing! We had the ceviche magdalena, the tuna with crispy rice (forget the name), the branzino and the coffee/chocolate dessert! Our host was lovely and we chose all the dishes recommended by her and it was perfect! We also had the oysters! So good. Service was great! Definitely come back next time we are in LA!

Had such a beautiful dinner with my family for my birthday. The whole staff is kind and accommodating. The drink menu is inventive and pairs exquisitely with the menu. I recommend ordering family style and definitely getting their Leche de Tigre, and Bang Bang! Tostada. Special shout out to Jesse, our server, their expo/chef, and bar manager who was so helpful in letting us pick out Mezcal to bring back to the table. Also to the host team for figuring out our reservation changes. Y’all are too amazing! Thanks for a special night. We’ll be back. ✨ 🩵✨

This is the second time I am coming in the same month. I love everything about the place, the people who worked there is authentically nice, the decor and music on spot and of course the food is consistent, prime quality and beautiful to the eye. I felt I was in Mexico City fine dining. My only message to the artist who put together this seafood ingredients in such magnificent way is: yes chef!!! Please never remove the Cuiliche tostada from the menu! 👌🏼

We are regulars to Loreto’s. Last night they were “Off their game.” Absolutely no hospitality. No smiles. Everyone we interacted with was miserable and clearly did not want to be there. Service was not well paced. It took a lifetime to get a drink or a bottle of wine opened. Freezing in the restaurant as we were seated next to an open door to the outdoor patio. So dark we had to ask for a lamp (2x). So loud we could not hear each other speak. But, thankfully—the food was, as usual, outstanding. ~JS

Food was amazing! I rated lower than 5 stars because they slap a 3% fee on credit cards, how are we supposed to pay then? We dont carry so much cash! Better to add fee to menu price!

Weird service all night. Server spilled a cocktail and then it took almost twenty minutes to bring replacement. Timing of courses was way off.

Loreto was amazing. Came here for my partner's birthday and we'll definitely return with friends soon. We ordered a toro sashimi, a ceviche, croquetas and a pasta and it was all above and beyond delicious, as were the cocktails. Service was great and so was the ambiance. Good prices for the quality of experience, too.

Food is always great, our server was kind but the experience to get to the table and start eating was an entire ordeal. Didn’t give it a full 5 due to an issue with the hostess.
