CRUDO — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

I am so happy to add this restaurant to my list of places in Pescadero! It's super low-key and casual with top notch food. The menu is simple and my favorite by far was the scallop tostada. Even though I was stuffed I still ordered a second one after my meal in leiu of dessert. Yes, I'm a glutton.

The bartender, Christopher, made a stellar margarita and I asked for jalepeno to spice it up - perfect. Not too sweet, well balanced overall.

The fried chicken came perfectly crunchy, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and spice with a fantastic chili sauce on the side.

Black beans blew my mind with hints of clove and star anise, the most unique and tasty black beans I've ever had.

We are here for 2 weeks and I know we'll be back...

We went to CRUDO by the recommendation of a friend. The setting is beautiful but the food for us anyway doesn't match the hype or the price. We ordered the fried chicken that came with fries. We didn't finish the chicken but we did finished the fries altho they were well over cooked. We were hungry. The house did give us an order of fries and 2 cocktail on them. Even with the freebies it's still cost $80 US with tip $100. For 3 pieces of chicken and 3 cocktails for a bill to be $80 in my mind is outrageous. So much for...

I ate at Crudo twice this past week. Twisting on traditional Mexican food, the chef creates unique and tasty dishes. The crab quesadillas are incredible with the sauce bringing the dish home. The beet salad was super fresh and NOT overdressed as is typical out in the world. Finally, the crudo scallop tostados were loaded with scallops with just the right amount of citrus and heat. All three dishes rocked and the space is cool and chill. Hope...
