Traslomita - Ensenada

You Will not have a better meal anywhere! Chicken is the best chicken I've ever had. Wonderful rice pudding dessert. Great wine. Couldn't ask for more. Awesome.

El lugar es hermoso y la vista es agradable, pero cuando pedimos quesadillas de carnitas, eran más grasosas que de carne y las tostadas no tenían sabor alguno (aunque se veían deliciosas); sin embargo, el resto de los platillos tenían un sabor delicioso.

Located across the way from La Lomita Winery, Traslomita is a fabulous dining experience. Pro tip: make a reservation on OpenTable in advance if you can. It's a gorgeous location. Make your way down the steps to be greeted by panoramic views and sounds of nature. So relaxing. The restaurant is all outdoors which lends to a pleasant dining experience. The servers were very attentive. The menu is focused. Though we had just eaten several hours before, we wound up ordering an array of dishes: oysters, ceviche, guacamole, and desserts. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Pricing was reasonable as well. Give it a try order some amazing food to share, get a bottle of wine, and enjoy!

We were in the Valle de Guadalupe with a group of chefs doing culinary research. Not only did our lunch on the shady patio of Restaurant Traslomita blow me away, I felt like I was in the garden of The Godfather, in an amazing way, but it was hands down the favorite of all the chefs I was traveling with. Traslomita's chef Sheyla Alvarado knocked it out of the park with this multicourse meal paired with briny and earthy Baja wines. The front of house staff was so point with changing plates and silverware it felt almost casual, execution at the highest level does that. Chef Sheyla's tortilla soup, her asparagus, her tostada, those are broad labels for dishes and yet in each her version was one of the best I have ever had. The octopus, the clams, the chicken, just outstanding. Refined to the highest standard and absolutely enjoyable as if all that doesn't even matter, but of course it does. Thank you chef for the warm rice pudding, melting the cold vanilla ice cream, with bits of crunchy honeycomb, and all the golden bites you served us on that lazy afternoon on the patio at TrasLomita.

Chef Humberto Aviles brings the best ideas of what Baja California cuisine should be on your plate. You can order from the menu or get a 6 course meal. The chicken is really good and do not be afraid to try the catch of the day. The wines from Hacienda Lomita are super good.
