Drinks
For a taste of Baja’s vibrant flavors, indulge in the restaurant’s signature drinks. The ‘Mango on Chile Frozen Margarita’ will transport your taste buds to sun-kissed beaches; served with a garnish of dried mango that infuses every sip with tropical bliss. The ‘Watermelon Margarita’, my personal favorite, beckons you to drink it like ambrosial nectar. Lastly, the ‘Froze’ offers a refreshing and delightful twist on a classic.
Appetizers
As you move on to the appetizers, the ‘Coconut Calamari’ steals the spotlight. This isn’t your ordinary calamari where you see the squid’s head and arms; here the calamari is expertly prepared, resembling tender chicken strips and enhanced with toasted sesame and dried orange peel, accompanied by a spicy dipping sauce that adds an exciting punch to the dish. Best way for me to describe it is a revelation of flavors; tender and moist. Complementing this culinary delight is the ‘Grilled Sweet Corn,’ a delightful symphony of flavors and textures, tossed with butter, lime, chilies, cotija cheese, and a tantalizing chipotle drizzle, topped with scallions for an extra zing.
Entrees
When it comes to entrees, the choices are simply divine.
The ‘Grilled Chicken Burritos’, encased in perfectly grilled flour tortillas, boast a medley of delectable fillings, including cheese, guacamole, borracha black beans, Pico de Gallo, and onions. This culinary masterpiece elevates the humble burrito to a work of art.
The ‘Wild Fish on Esquites’ is a symphony of seasonal flavors with an almond-lemon crust, accompanied by grilled corn esquites, tomato, basil, lime, avocado butter, scallions, and cotija cheese, harmoniously coming together to create a memorable seafood delight.
Vegetarians will be enthralled by the ‘Chile Poblano Relleno con Elote’, where roasted and fried chile poblanos embrace a delightful stuffing of grilled corn, calabacitas, goat and Mexican cheeses, kale, and guajillo chile sauce, crowned with a dollop of crema and a sprinkle of cilantro. It’s a burst of flavor in every mouthful, proving that vegetarian dishes can be equally indulgent and satisfying.
Dessert
At last, to culminate this extraordinary culinary journey, indulge in the famed Mexican dessert, ‘Tres leches’. This rich and luscious concoction will have you savoring every spoonful as it effortlessly melts in your mouth, leaving behind a lingering sweetness that perfectly caps off your dining experience.
