About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

Bathed by the Pacific Ocean to the West and by the Mar de Cortés to the East, California’s Peninsula is layered with a rich history of cultures reinventing seafood with bold flavors. At our Barra de Peninsula we serve the best bounty that these Oceans have to offer, and we celebrate the people who make our coasts so delicious, from Uni and clam divers to the Concheros in Baja and much more.

Please note: All credit card payments will incur a 3% processing fee. You may use cash or a debit card to avoid this charge. Thank you for your cooperation.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Paco Moran

From the OpenTable editors: Aguachiles and ceviches are just the beginning of the seaworthy delights at Loreto, a sweeping, modern indoor-outdoor restaurant that transports you straight to the Mexican sea. Explore the menu that dives deep into the flavours of the California Peninsula: Think scallop tostadas with wasabi aioli and whole branzino served with black beans, rice, avocado, habanero onions, and mini quesadillas. Toast it all with an oyster-infused martini.

Loreto was an amazing experience. Our server was simply phenomenal. He was attentive and coursed our food well. I am still thinking about the bang bang shrimp and the Kampachi sashimi. The aguachile verde was a favorite as well! The restaurant is beautiful and I love the bar area. Everything was just amazing. They even put a candle in my dessert for my birthday. I can’t wait to go back and order for plates of the bang bang shrimp to eat by myself!

I notified the restaurant we were celebrating a birthday before arrival and upon seating. Nothing, no candle and no acknowledgment. The Brussel sprout dish that I love was nearly raw and not roasted.

I love Loreto - but yesterday we were seated in an area we never sat in before - close to the bar. It was unfortunately so dark we couldn’t see the food. I normally gush over how beautiful the food is, matching the taste buds. So to not visually experience the food I felt a few dishes didn’t get to show off their full potential. Still love it tho!
