    Our party of 6 came in for lunch during our stop off a cruise ship. I am so glad we chose Latitud 32 for our one Ensenada experience! Views were amazing. Food was awesome and so flavorful. Wine was great, will be looking for where it’s sold near me! Favorite was the Orion Tempranillo Granache. Our server Victor made our experience wonderful! So much joy and energy and jokes! 2 of our guests have celiac disease, there were pant gluten free options and we had no worries with cross contamination with gluten! Favorite items were Barbacoa de Borrego and the Cafe de Olla! 10/10 experience!

    Went with my buddies last night for a birthday dinner. Not a lot of people there, but the restaurant is gorgeous and for night to be able to talk to my friends and connect again was fantastic server. Danielle was great and the food was top level. Definitely coming back and if you have three people get the Tomahawk, no question great times.
