We had the most amazing meal here - our favorites were Caldo de Piedra, Arroz Con Pez Vela, Ceviche Verde and the Free Form Wood Oven (Raspberry ) tart with a hint of smoke.

Amazing desserts . The manager and service are fantastic. Loved the Cod , Short rib . And the raspberry dessert . The stripped bass has a lot bones and is difficult to eat. I would skip it next time.

Another great offering from Chef Bayless. Tequila , Oysters , Octopus , Grasshopper (oh yes I did-crunchy), Short ribs , did I mention tequila . Amazing restaurant & great staff . Make reservations ! Enjoy!

Obviously you know the food is good, but talk mezcal with the bartender . They have some fantastic stuff.

Everything is amazing.. go for the ceviche verde , the fish with mushrooms and hoja santa and the framboise tart for dessert . Simple amazing! Rick Bayless rocks!

Zoe

some highs & lows: Wait staff hovers too much. Don’t miss the scallops , pineapple ceviche and the beet side. Octopus was over cooked, salmon crudos flavors are cancelled by spice. Tuna ceviche is good

Leach E. E.

Interesting and tasty flavours across the menu. Good oysters . Chocolate and peanut dessert was delicious. Cocktail standards with a spicy twist. Great service.

Abby Schmeling

23 degrees for your cocktail . Ceviche maki roll as an app. Octopus carnival and shrimp albondigas entrées. Perfection!

Todd Kuna

Delicious Latin seafood and more. Do the Baja experience tasting menu for a good sampling of it all.

Andre Williams

Service is awesome and food is very good! Short rib is very tender

Rick Bayless ' newest effort focuses on Mexico's Baja California Norte, a region whose cuisine is largely seafood based, with a reliance on open-fire cooking. Read more

Fabulous food. Get a governor'a table, ceviche & plantains & you won't be disappointed!

Leña Fire ($13) Thanks be to the agave gods for the sweet nectar that is mezcal and sotol .

Marcella Astini

This place is amazing! From the appetizers to the desserts ! The raspberry pie is to die for!!

Gardiner Allen

Order the chicken (for two). I know it's just chicken right? It's AMAZING

Chris Lintott

Cocktails are excellent, trust the server on the food and notice that wines by the glass are cheaper than the equivalent bottle

Kaleigh S

The pineapple augachile is unlike anything I've ever eaten before. You need to try it.

Dale Sopocy

Excellent Baja/Oaxacan cuisine from a 100% wood-fired kitchen.

Anthony Handley

On 2018 best thing I ever ate for Black Cod al pastor - Alex Guarnaschelli

Vince Darmali

It took three and half hours to go through the 5 Course pre fix meal. It was rather painful to wait between each course. The food was not that good either.I would stick with Fontera Grill or Topo.

Ron Opryszek

Very cool place.

Matthew Breuer

Mark Garcia

We went for my birthday. We chose to do the five courses prefix dinner . It took three and half hours to go through it. The food was not that good either. I would stick with Fontera Grill or Topo.

Demasiado caro y las porciones muy chicas. No regreso

Everything is delicious here, but the elote is unmissable. (And I always ask to take the leftover salsa home—it’s just so damn good.) - Vicki R.

Love this place. Innovative beers and well crafted margaritas make for a great evening. Upstairs area is dynamic. The giant tostadas should be labeled as a signature dish. - Derrick Whitehead
