Wa Kumiai Tabita

The Best Restaurants in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico | Eater San Diego

"This breakfast destination is in San Antonio Necua, a Kumiai village not far from the L.A. Cetto winery. Traditional Kumiai cook Tabita Dominguez serves up a delicious feast, which helps support the members of the indigenous community who work in her restaurant. Northern Mexican and indigenous flavors merge in dishes like machaca (beef jerky), mixed with eggs and served with beans, corn, and flour tortillas. Traditional Kumiai foods are also on the menu, like beef and lamb barbacoa cooked in a wood-fired oven, and a smoky white menudo that’s also cooked over fire and tastes like a cowboy cookout. Try the acorn coffee, a healthy alternative to your morning cup and a true taste of Valle de Guadalupe’s indigenous cuisine." - Bill Esparza
