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.

The stars of the show are the aguachiles and the tostadas, and the deserts which were all fabulous. We were a large group which allowed us to taste a variety of dishes within each of those categories--so glad we did! The cocktails were equally delicious while approachable. This would have been a 5-star rating, but honestly the staff looked like they didn't want to be there and it showed in their interactions with our table. Not all of them, but most of them. It surprised me given the fun vibe of the place and food. We all have off nights and this won't keep us from returning, but just something our group noticed.
