If you're looking for a relax atmosphere with spectacular food you should try Manzanilla. The place has a modern casual ambiance, the staff is very professional and nice, but the best thing is the food. Every entry was excellent specially the pork with vanilla essence. I will definitely will return to this place.

I have to say it is hard to imaging a better dining experience than our initial feast at Manzinilla, but Solange and Benito came through to impress our party even more. On our way down to Ensenada our party of 8 from the Pasadena area were discussing our dinner plans for the evening and to the man the Manzinilla restaurant... More

The place is nice, the food is so-so, sometimes good, rarely excellent, mostly average but let me get this out of the way I have my issues with the place... I've been there many times and have had some bitter-sweet experiences, one word of advice go early, on more than one occasion we've arrived 10:00-10:30pm and they've ran out of... More

After watching the travel channel and wanting to try some of the dishes that was made, I was disappointed that none of it are available on the menu, and the Chef is not even there....The place was quiet on a Saturday night, the restaurant is tuck away off a side street in an industrial area.... The food was good but... More

We were recommended this restaurant by some friends and were not let down. The restaurant itself has a very sophisticated feel both by the decor and the method in which the space of the restaurant is designed. While having dinner it feels like your alone a room with friends rather than being able to hear the entire conversation of your... More

Had dinner here with four friends on a golf wekend trip. Thought to try it because of reviews plus Andrew Zimmer featured it recently, but did so with expectations that were sceptical of how different from run of the mill Baha fare this would be. Scepticism reinforced when we arrived and they had no record of my reservation despite my... More

Baja-Med dining at it's finest. Of the beaten path in the port district, but worth the trip. If you're coming stateside, then chances are you'll be the only American there. Highly recommended

We just have drinks and appetizers and they have amazing oysters, I ordered "ostiones Kumamoto" and "tiradito de pescado con jengibre...."and "ostiones Bahia Falsa" OMG it was delicious and we sat...

A local friend turned us onto this restaurant a year ago and we returned this past weekend. You have to know where it is, or take a taxi and hope the driver knows where it is. I don't even know the address myself! It was again absolutely fantastic. I had the flank steak, my husband the fish and risotto. Talk... More
