Neighbourhood gem

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.

I love Loreto - but yesterday we were seated in an area we never sat in before - close to the bar. It was unfortunately so dark we couldn’t see the food. I normally gush over how beautiful the food is, matching the taste buds. So to not visually experience the food I felt a few dishes didn’t get to show off their full potential. Still love it tho!

I was worried! 1st time here and we invited another couple for Valentines Day dinner. I was worried, this venue doesn’t have a phone number and the location appeared to be off the radar from traditional LA venues! The experience was amazing! Decor and vibes were very urban! We enjoyed the selection of music & every dish ordered from the menu was a winner! We’ll definitely return! Thank you!

I will come back again and again and again for that branzino. It’s next level, like death row meal status. The drinks are good, but definitely heavy on the mezcal (and pre-made so no substituting). The service was great - we sat at the ceviche bar, so it was really fun to watch the chefs do their thing. The yellowtail and toro sashimis were so fresh and light, and the Magdalena had perfectly balanced flavors. Vibes were immaculate too. Can’t wait to go back!

Food is okay, a bit too spicy, overshadowing the flavor of seafood. Also had a dirty plate.
