Came in for breakfast, great pancakes and egg dishes. Nice staff. The RV Park in the back seems great spot to camp next time down Baja.
Beautiful place. Excellent food and service here. Their story is amazing. They built the structure themselves by hand. Wonderful couple.
This is a wonderful place if you’re passing through, spacious lots for camping (cheap too) and a big dinning area for breakfast lunch and dinner. Let’s do the pros: Dog friendly Offer breakfast, lunch and dinner Extremely friendly staff*** Coffee is great They are a conservation based establishment!!!! (Meaning they obtain no illegal or poached products) and they promote whale safety Showers are hot! Cons: Their dogs bark a lot
One of our favourite stops in Baja! Wonderful family run restaurant that also has an rv site around back. Enjoy a great meal and stay the night.
Family owned restaurant running for at least 30 years. Seafood is fresh! Tourist friendly spot. Seems like a local spot too! We came here regularly after our whale watching tour. Which is an absolute must when in Guerro Negro! Lots of great dishes to choose from with very generous portions. Owner and family are super friendly!
This is a great place for a stop to eat or camp! They have a great menu and the atmosphere is even better. Everyone in my party tried some sort of seafood for their main dish and it was all wonderful! If you are needing to camp there is a small fee and they have bathrooms with hot showers to use.
We camped here for one night, also eating dinner at the restaurant. The camping is perfectly flat and comes with non-potable water and a 30amp plug. It's 300/night (cash only) and there's real bathrooms with flushing toilets, toilet paper, sink and showers. There were some dogs onsite barking at night, but for GN, the dog capital, it was pretty quiet most of the night. Our dinner was delicious and they were able to accommodate my husband who is gluten free and cheese free. There wifi was down so we couldn't pay for dinner with a credit card. The building is worth coming in to look at, the construction is amazing made from local material and palm fronds. We would stay here again, very convenient to the highway, can accommodate all size vehicles and the owners were very nice.
Nice stop for a meal, the service was great, the food was good and we didn't have to wait long plus there is a little museum to check out while there.
