About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Great for outdoor dining
Lively

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.

Nikolai took the greatest care of us, will make a return trip for the food any day but the service was on another level. Very happy I made the trip.

This place is a great spot for seafood lovers, with plenty of fresh options that really hit the mark. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they also offer vegetarian and vegan dishes, which is a big plus if you’re dining with a diverse group. The vibe is nice for grabbing a drink, but we had a confusing experience when we first arrived—we asked for wine at the bar and were told they couldn’t serve it there. That didn’t make much sense, but thankfully we were able to order wine once we were seated at our table. The biggest downside, and something that really needs improvement, is the lack of changing tables in the restrooms. There were several families with kids, and it’s unacceptable that there’s no proper space to change a baby. We actually had to leave the restaurant to take care of it, which was really inconvenient. Overall, it’s a great spot for food and drinks, but not very family-friendly in terms of facilities

We were so looking forward to our meal at Loreto. Unfortunately our expectations did not meet our reality. One of the members of our party had a soy allergy. When we ordered we were assured this wouldn't be a problem and that as the dishes were brought out we would be told which dishes had soy. The server who brought the dishes was not the same as our waiter and did not know and had to go back to the kitchen to ask, at which point they returned and told us but did not bring any serving utensils. When they brought serving utensils after being asked, they only brought two, even though there were more than 2 dishes and we were trying to avoid cross contamination due to the allergy and did not want to use the same utensil for multiple dishes. The staff seemed bothered that we would ask for more. Whenever we needed something or wanted to place another order of a dish, we found it hard to get people's attention. Given the expense we were surprised by the lackluster service and do not plan on returning.

Always a great experience! The food is delicious and the cocktails are too. My only suggestion would be to add specials or change the menu. I would love to try new items as I dine there often.

This used to be amazing. But the quality has gone down. We ordered oysters, ceviche, brussel sprouts, branzino, and desserts. The oysters weren’t shucked fully. The ceviche barely had any hamachi in it. Mostly cucumber and avocado. The branzino was meh. So sad.
