Albaricoque Restaurant — Restaurant in Baja California

UPDATE: After more than six years since my initial visit I had decided to return on the off chance that my initial experience was a fluke and God am I glad I did. Albaricoque must have one of the most, if not the most, exquisite kitchen menu in the city. We started with a beet and goat cheese salad coated with a citric vinaigrette and shortly thereafter followed with the tuna ceviche which was equally delightful and fresh.

It was a promising offering in town, but fell completely short of the...

The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, making it well balanced. Prices are not on the high end, but rather moderate. The atmosphere in the outside area is very nicely lit, and with good weather makes for a great escapade. I'd recommend going at a low traffic hour because it's right on a main avenue and the sound of cars could get tiresome. The place is very clean and staff is friendly. The missing star is because they were lacking...
