Mi Cocina Restaurant — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

Better than average for a hotel restaurant. Definitely a nice small venue. Mainly hotel guests so far that I have seen, although we are told that on Art Walk Thursdays that it fill with public patrons.

Having done dinner and breakfast (breakfast only for guests) it has been very nice.

Only complaint on service is for breakfast when there is just one server for however many guests arrive at the same time, so can be a bit slow.

The French Toast was fantastic. I thought I would miss the syrup, but the melting ice cream combined with the fruit and caramelized cinnamon sugar makes syrup quite irrelevant.

The Huevos Rancheros was good, but I would more describe it as what I consider a Tostada.

The steaks were both beautifully charred while cooked medium and incredibly tender.

The Key Lime pie was not as tart as I expected, more like a nice cheese cake. The gram cracker crust and toasted cream/ marshmallow top were very good.

So you can accept Visa now, huh? It all felt very shady to me and I did not return for the rest of my stay because of...

The place is lovely and so peaceful.

The chefs tacos were superb! Delicate, beautiful, delicious. Can you imagine saying tacos are elegant? These really are

The service is a whole other matter. The middle aged bartender was arrogant and rude and did not welcome being bothered. The margarita was by far the worst I’ve ever had. The only identifiable flavor was sour. The waiter had absolutely no personality. He was unengaged and just passively going through the bare minimum motions.

It turns out they are only open from 2-10 on Sundays. I had made reservations for 2:00 because it said they were full until then. I was the only person there. They were not set up. No one greeted me. The bartender seemed irritated to be asked if I could sit down and abruptly motioned me to...
