Elbuen Bar — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

This is now one of my new favorite places. First of all, the staff is amazingingly helpful, especially Saul and Mariana. No one makes you feel like you're taking up too much of their time, even when they're busy. Secondly, the food (even though this place is renowned as a "bar") is delicious and lovingly prepared.

My friends and I were in La Paz for 3 nights and found this gem on our first night and we went back every night of our trip!

Not really geared for tourists, it's a small intimate artsy space with highly crafted cocktails, an awesome obscure music soundtrack, super friendly bartenders/owner, and great ambiance. The pizza flatbreads looked good but we didn't come to eat......
