Hmmm...gotta think about this one for a while...Ah, mosquitos 7 days after a hurricane.
In a nutshell
Sleepy Mexican fishing village that time forgot
Agraichen Says: The 2Mundos Diver & tours Beach Shop provides a little bit of everything. While Anna runs the Beach Shop, her dive master husband and friends provide tours of the area. They specialize in boat trips to the various Marine Park islands, diving, snorkeling, whale watching,...
Agraichen Says: If you're a fisherman, the Sea of Cortez is a dreamland. The sea has been compared to a tropical aquarium with some of the most diverse sea life in the world. The possible exception is the Galapagos but not by much.On any given day, if you know where they are biting you will...
1 Review and 138 Opinions I had never looked this place up previously on my trips up and down the peninsula, because I didn't...
Bajaja Deli Bar & Grill: Bajaja great pulled pork
Agraichen Says: The Loreto Bay development in Nopolo, BCS 9KM south of the 300+ year old town of Loreto was left with some developed and some undeveloped buildings when Citi Group walked away during the financial downturn of global ecconomies.Still many people held on and tried to rebuild...
Agraichen Says: Not much to look at from the road, but what a difference inside. This is a local restaurant that only sells pizza and "designer" cakes and pastries. It's best to call ahead as they do a rather busy take-out business 613-108-9562. For tourists and people not familiar with the...
Domingo's Place: Best steak in town
Agraichen Says: Domingo's Place has been a fixture in Loreto for over 15 years. They serve steak and seafood. I've never had a bad meal, although I heard one complaint that the shrimp were a bit over cooked. The patio in the back is the place to go in the winter. Cool breezes make for a...
DOMINGO's: Best Steaks in Town
ViajesdelMundo Says: Domingo's used to be known as 'EL NIDO's', until the two friends/owners had a falling out and split up. But it retained the same location and decor and even the menu. (The ORIGINAL EL NIDO's is in Rosarito Beach, Baja Ca. Norte, and also looks exactly the same and has same...
Agraichen Says: The colors and ornaments at the entrance to the restaurant may make you thin it's just another souvenier shop. once inside you will find why this is one of the best deal in town. The food is good but the prices even better and the margaritas incredible.The menu is "plain...
ripdalip Says: We got "raked" at this night club.. Be aware, even though they seem friendly, they are taking it to you!! within half hour we thought we must have bought the same dancers 10 drinks to our 2.. We finally figured it that the girls ordered beer from a dark bottle,, Never...
Agraichen Says: Dark and crowded on weekends, this small "club" is a throw back to disco. One of the few actual nightclubs in Loreto. Cover charge is 50 peso's. Normally it's open Fri. - 9:00 PM - 2:00 AM and Sat 10:00 PM-4:00 AM. What ever you have on is normally just fine. Remember this...
Agraichen Says: There are plenty of taxis around Loreto. The Airport, as small as it is, always has a queue as does the Inn at Loreto Bay in near by Nopolo. Cost from the Inn to Airport is about $20.00 (US); from the Inn to Loreto about $20-25 (US) depending on the driver. Travel in and...
Agraichen Says: Hidden deep in the "neighborhoods" of Loreto, Raygoza is a hidden gem. Thus far, it is the ONLY grocery store with a refrigerated WALK-IN produce section.Like many of the neighborhood grocery stores, this one is small and tighly packed with three shelves and five isles that...
Bienesa: Incredible stickey buns...
Agraichen Says: Alas, the ecconmy was not kind to this bakery. It has closed it's doors. Sticky buns can however be found at El Cafe Lolita on Salvatierra if you get their early in the morning.On the main street leading to the historic district, almost arcross from the local Super Mecardo,...
Agraichen Says: El Gavilan is a small family owned spice store. They have a number of stores in Mexico. You can get most any spice you could want in bulk quantities. The proprietor, Gabriel Vazquez speaks perfect english and is quite happy to provide you with a sample and answer any...
ADWA: ADWA - Reasonable Home Decore
Agraichen Says: Like many decor shops, ADWA is VERY CROWDED with "stuff" to decrorate your house. We found them as one of the better shops to provide window treatments, but once we entered their "shop" we found much more.We needed mirrors...They had mirrors and as we have found out, at a...
Galeria "La Media Luna": High end art and furniture
Agraichen Says: Galeria is not as crowded as many of the "home furnishing" shops in Loreto. The proprietor, Hector Torres Ybanez spent a number of years with a shop in San Francisco, CA before settling back in his home country of Mexico.The items carried are all top quality and quite...
Agraichen Says: The Federal check points along the highway can be intimidating to even the most seasoned traveler, but as long as you're honest and not trying to break any laws you normally just get waved through on a southbound journey. There are 5-6 check points between the border and...
Agraichen Says: SCUBA is one of the better activities in Loreto. The large marine park "preserve" in Loreto Bay has a wealth of sea life that must be experienced from "their" perspective, not from the surface.There are a number of dive shops in Loreto, but Dolphin Dive Center seems to be...
Agraichen Says: The Sea of Cortez has some incredible dive sites. Loreto Bay is one of the best according to those that have had the opportunity to dive in the warm waters (summmer time 80 F) Bring your own or rent from the shop
Agraichen Says: "Manny" is a hidden treasure of Loreto. Run by Rita Marroquin Calderon the small shop is only easy to find if you know where it is located. Prices are incredibly low.A quick "tune up," general cleaning and fixing a flat tire cost the incredible sum of 230 Pesos which at...
Agraichen Says: Loreto now has a great bakery. PanOli opened in late 2010 in a small shop on Benito Juarez. They make fresh breads and pasteries daily. The Chef, Fabian Lopez Bonzi turns out excellent products.I've tried their regular bread, focaccio so far and it was excellent.Address:...
