Parador Mercedes / pop up Sala de Despecho — Restaurant in Baja California

Parador Mercedes is relatively new in Baja and has quickly become one of the top recommended places by locals. We came for breakfast but I really want to come back for lunch hours. We tried the bisquets as an entree and these were simply wonderful. I could just come back for those. They are served with cream and jam. We also tried the lemon pancakes (very good), the machaca and chilaquiles (amazing), the zuccini and meat plate (amazing as well), breakfast sandwich and crab burrito (these I'm guessing were very good as well, cause my parents did not even make an attempt to share). The only downside was that we came around 9am and they had already run out of a few plates, but I guess it's because they were amazing too. Definitely want...

Came here on a Saturday for lunch and was disappointed. I came with high expectations as I had looked into its reviews beforehand.

Unfortunately, neither ambiance, food, or service lived up to my expectations.

Ordered seared prawns and prawn aqua chile. Prawns were served without having the intestine removed prior. Prawns did not have the best flavor or consistency.

Restaurant was close to empty at 1:00PM with only two other tables being seated. Not sure why maybe just cause its new?

Service was ok but far from as passionate as we have seen at other good restaurants.

Design of the restaurant also felt a lot better in photos...

Every time we visit Valle de Guadalupe, we have to stop and eat here. They have an extensive menu: café de olla, chilaquiles, pancakes. Everything is delicious. Ask to sit in the patio, where the breeze can hit you under that big, huge, beautiful tree because it can get stuffy and hot inside. We visited in August. Excellent service. They have delicious home made bread. They accept reservations, family, friendly kid, friendly menu. Highly recommend it. It's right on the main road heading into valle , very easy to get there...
