Eating Out Adventures!

We are not food critics, but we do love to eat and drink. And Loreto has plenty of places to do just that! A lot has changed in Loreto over the fifteen years we have been coming here. It wasn’t that long ago that is was a challenge to find breakfast and a real cup of coffee. Now we have great coffee shops, fine dining, sushi, pizza and a wonderful assortment of eating options. We have always been adventurous and love trying new places.

Our intent with our Dining Guide is not to critique the many eating establishments, but to entice you to get out of your comfort zone and explore the many great options Loreto has to offer. You will meet lots of friendly folks, always happy to see you, and you will  support our local economy.
As you probably have realized, eating out in Mexico is very economical, a spectacular dinner at the finest restaurants here will cost you a fraction of what is would cost up North, and a dinner at a small Economica will cost a fraction of that!  Even better, the smaller places, without liquor licenses will gladly allow you to bring your own beer, wine or cocktails.

With this blog, however, we will give our opinions of the restaurants we visit, ambiance, service, food and drink quality, quantity and value. Our good friends and excellent cooks Ron and Peter will be doing the write ups with us along with our other eating and drinking buddies! We will post reviews whenever we get the chance, so check back regularly.

Mexico is a large and diverse country, and like other countries, cuisine varies from area to area and state to state. Every year here in Loreto we see more restaurants and more variety, and no chains, and hopefully we never will. We have early morning taco stands, gringo breakfasts, coffee shops, lunchtime “Economicas", Taco Trucks, quaint cafes, evening restaurants and late night taco stands.   

As many of you know, here in Loreto, smaller places tend to come and go and change locations on a regular basis. The smaller places may not have the selection or atmosphere of some of the larger more established restaurants, but the owners will always be happy to see you and do whatever they can to accommodate your requests, and the food is almost always fresh and home cooked. 

Our new and expanded Dining in Loreto Guidebook is now available  in Loreto at The Rick Jackson Gallery on the Plaza, El Caballo Blanco bookstore on Hidalgo, The Delicatessen on Benito Juaez, Gecko's Curios on Salvatierra, Gavilan, across from El Pescador, and Pedro's Place in Loreto Bay.
