Restaurant Report: Discover Baja - Animalón


My friend W. Scott Koenig has written an in depth restaurant report about Animalón for Discover Baja .


New Restaurant: Once Pueblos


This is exciting news.  I've been hearing about the new winery Sierra Vita and its restaurant Once Pueblos for well over a year. It looks like the wait for them to open to the public is almost over. 

I took a peek at the property several months ago and it is gorgeous.  The restaurant has one of the best views of any restaurant in the Valle.  

I am looking forward to tasting Chef Sandra Daniela Vázquez Fernández's food on our next visit.

Mixtura to Re-open on May 4


Lots of the seasonal campestres (new and old) have or will open soon, but I'll highlight Mixtura's opening for a couple reasons. One, it is an excellent place to visit (great food in a lovely setting). And two, I like to enter the Valle via the free road and Mixtura's location makes it the perfect first stop.

Boilerplate info (some of which is incorrect), but it's always good to be in a Forbes top ten list.
