Península - Cocina de Mar — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

This place is so cute. I loved the atmosphere. The service was amazing. Very sweet staff.

The food is full of love. We got the Black Aquachile (scallops and shrimp), a panko-encrusted taco, a ribeye taco and a tuna cevichanga.

The chef really knows how to balance sweet, spicy, tangy and salty flavors. Everything was well crafted.

The Aquachile was perfection. Delicious! The panko crusted scallop was amazing. It was light and fluffy and the scallops were pretty large.

The tuna cevichanga was a little too fishy for me, but I’m sure other people would love it because of that. It came with a sweet sauce to balance the flavors.

Totally planning on...

The food was very fresh. The space is more of an outdoor patio, so you can get fresh air and shade, although you are given the option to eat indoors, should you prefer.

One of the waiters had spoken some English and brought our attention to the whale marking on the Pacifico bottle -- a touch of friendly service for tourists who don't speak their language.

We had two beers, 2 of the carne asada tacos, the fried octopus quesadilla, and the scallop aguachile to reach the price point we did. Left plenty happy with that quantity of food.

Super delicious, relaxed pace -- don't come here in a rush, come here ready to savor your company and the deliciousness...

What an AMAZING last minute find!!! If you've made the drive this far, you owe it to yourself to try the seviche! The owner/cook catches the fish daily and makes if fresh for each order, hands down the best I've had throughout all of Baja.

Great atmosphere, great food, at an even better price. Don't be surprised if you find they've moved to Cabo where they will dominate the market, it's THAT good.

I will now always make the stop when I make the drive....
