Fantastic dinner in an unexpected setting. The food and service was great. We weee talked through the menu, ordered a La carte and then we’re presented each dish. The rabbit and pork belly were the talk of the table. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $600–700 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I visited Malva around 5 years ago and revisited just las week. Let me start to say that I couldn’t imagine the evolution of his cuisine. The experience was INCREDIBLE, it’s being a while since I felt captivated by a culinary proposal and it really blew my mind. To the point that I had to take a moment with each bite to really process and understand it, because the way everything is put together makes an explosion happen for all your senses. We had nifladita de huitlacoche that was such a surprise, with a creamy sauce and pretty interesting presentation. We also had the Gyosas with colita de Rea that seemed to be a fusion with Asian, amazing flavors and the lechón which was with a crispy crust and the plátano macho cream was just perfect. Finally, for desert we had the pera tamal which truly surprise me and the apple tarts which was on point. If you visit Valle you have to visit this place is truly a hidden gem! And I been to many places. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $200–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Tart of the Day

We come from Israel where there’s lots of amazing food and we've been traveling in the USA for the past year and tasted some good food (and some less 😅). But this place in Guadalupe is by far the best meal we’ve ever had our whole lives!!! We just enjoyed it so much everything is freshly made, and just tastes like heaven! my husband and I each took a different four course meal that way we got to taste Everything. The sour bread is amazing. The fish melts in your mouth and the meat is so nice and soft the taco bun is the best bite you’ll ever have! Just pure joy! the wine was nice and smooth too. The waiter was really helpful and nice and all the people making the food are really nice. I really hope we can come to Baja again soon and eat here ❤️ thank you so much for best meal we’ve ever had!! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–100

My friend and I came here and did the 8 course tasting menu. All very interesting and good. Absolute heaven for a seafood lover (I regret that I’m not one). The owners husband personally gave us a one on one wine tasting before dinner. I hope this place always stays so intimate. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

The service was excellent. The setting was excellent. The food looked beautiful. The flavors were too strong, salty and rich for me. I needed a fresh salad or more veggies. I might have just ordered the wrong things. Very nice people in a beautiful peaceful location. Wished I loved the food more.

This was my very first time visiting Valle de Guadalupe, and it did not disappoint. First, the view. With this place being just a few minutes from the shores of Ensenada - this location was a hidden gem. Aside from the beautiful view of los viñedos, the restaurant boasted of its own unique and contemporary elegance. The tables were situated overlooking the beautiful valle while the atmosphere felt both comfortable and elevated. Finally, the experience. Each item contained a variety of various unique flavors and a plethora of different flavors - every dish delicately selected with careful intention. A combination of humble origins and immense creativity- each dish was nothing less of a beautiful masterpiece. The experience could have not been better than the service we were given. Fer, our server, did an amazing job painting the picture of each dish in extensive detail. His ability to highlight the various areas of which each ingredient came from was the foundation of the entire experience. In short, your trip to Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe will not be complete without an experience like this. I am thankful for everything and everyone who showed us the elegance of Mexican fine dining. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We've been living in Ensenada for 3 years now and we haven't tried this place yet. We heard good things about this place and the chef, Roberto Alcocer Is a renowned local personality. We were surprised of how good the food was, specially the appetizers, a beef & tuna tartare or the chayote aguachile were amazing. Fernando, our host, was excellent. We were indecisive about wine and he gave us a little tasting that helped us a lot. The main courses weren't that amazing but overall the experience were really good. 100% recommended
