Relaxing location with a good vibe - nice trees, lights. etc. Adjacent to the plaza in front of the Loreto tourism office and City Hall. Good beer (had the recent IPA) and terrific puff-pastry wrapped Chile Relleno. Decent solo musician in the plaza during my visit to El Zopilote.

I probably spent more time here than I should have! Great fish tacos, good quality pizza, great salads, and serviceable beers. The NEIPA was probably my favorite at the time. Beautiful setting on the plaza, some nights with live music. Can’t wait to come back someday. Credit cards accepted.

Very nice atmosphere and sitting areas. The IPA I had was nice as well. Very fun interior, good selection of other alcohol

Special Order shrimp, pineapple pizza and Pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper pizza are awesome with shots of 1800 Tequila. On an other visit, I had the Shepherd's Pie and it was delicious. The portion size was too small, and I had to order a second one.

Our group had dinner here. The service was slow. Even though we, at the time, were the only ones ordering when we sat ourselves. The other 2 tables were eating. Luckily we got our orders in before the rest of the tables filled up. Unfortunately, the pizza options that were advertised were not available. Not sure why they couldn't make pizza?? I ordered a stout beer which was not good. We had 2 orders of fish and chips, 2 orders of the Irish nachos and a couple of burgers. All of which everyone enjoyed at the time. Later on that night the 2 people who had fish and chips and the accompanied 'tartar sauce' were up all night sick. It was also one of the most expensive meals we had in Loreto.

Had an excellent lunch of fish tacos today. Their beer battered bass was perfect on their flour tortillas. The lemonade natural was just the way we liked it, not too sweet. The cold draught stout was just perfect with the tacos. I may have to return even though I’m only here for another 24 hours.

They have very good craft brew - which you don't find often in small pueblos of Mexico. The day we were here they only had three available. One was an IPA, then a pale ale, and the one I loved was their Bandito Stout. They have a beautiful location on the plaza under the canopy of some beautiful shade trees. Plenty of outdoor seating and a few tables indoors as well. Wait staff was very friendly and explained the beers and menu items to us. Also if you are adventurous, try the Oxaca appetizer which consists of fried grasshoppers, served with home made blue corn tortillas, guacamole and some very nice salsa. We also had their battered fish tacos, (you can also order the fish grilled if you don't want battered) and the batter was very light with a wonderful flavor. Tuesdays are half price beer specials and Fridays they have specials on the fish tacos This is a great place to enjoy some cold beer, relax and people watch - I only wish they would serve chips and salsa if you are ordering drinks (if you want chips and salsa it is an extra charge)

The craft beer was very good for being in Mexico. I couldn't believe they had an imperial stout, a double IPA and a hazy. And they were all beers we would have again if they were in San Diego. They IPA was more of a German lager. We think they had that one mislabeled. It was definitely not an IPA, not even close. But that aside we had such a good experience with the other 3 beers we went back the next day. For food the fish tacos were good. The chili rellano was good , but I was surprised they used ground beef. I guess that's a local thing. Needless to say, we did not eat here again as the menu was a bit limited for us. But did I mention the beer was good!

Food and drinks were very tasty. Recommend fish tacos and the mezcalito drinks. They also have this refreshing coconut drink that is great on a hot day.

The food was good. We visit on a very hot afternoon and we were starving. Know that it is all outside. They have large fans but nothing cooler. It is in the town square. We had a group of 10 and we're the only ones in the restaurant. Servers were friendly and helpful. Beer was good and food was decent. Service seemed a bit slow but they were attentive while we waited. We chose this place because our regular was closed on Sundays. I might do it again in a pinch but the price didn't meet the taste.

Located on the corner in the historical center of town. Good ambience, good service, and the food is high quality.

Charming restaurant right on the Plaza with live music.. So much more than regular brewery food. Some of the best food we've had in 5 weeks of traveling. The warm bacon, date, and pecan salad is a fun update on a warm bacon spinach salad. Yummy! The pork tacos had been marinaded in orange and anchiote and had so much flavor and so tender. Flank steak was flavorful and, as is typical in Mexico, had a couple of chewy sections but otherwise excellent. And one of the best desserts ever was the warm orange cake. We shared one and should have each had one! Great service once we got seated and waiters were very helpful. We'll be back

Great food... we had pizza, very NY style, whole menu looked great. Sampled most of the beers... there were 7 on tap, the blood orange wheat beer was our favorite. Service was terrific, my fave spot in Loreto.

El encargado no nos quiso atender porque somos 9 y no nos quiso juntar mesas siendo que tenía otra mesa de 8 con gente comiendo a los que si les junto las mesas, Pedimos hablar con el dueño y según el no estaba presente. Si el dueño o dueña leen este mensaje con gusto me gustaría platicar con usted ya que su encargado no tiene la menor intención de tratar bien a sus clientes, no puedo entender su nivel de servicio en un lugar turístico. Nosotros en nuestra visita anterior a Loreto cenamos aquí por recomendación de un amigo de mi Primo y el trato no fue el que recibimos hoy. Decidimos cenar en otro lugar

I was surprised at there beer menu . I thought I would try their IPA ,it's hard to find a good IPA in Mexico. It was excellent I will be returning in October 2023. I highly recommend this place mmmm the food is also excellent.

Tasty craft brews, even if they're not exactly brewed to style. Taste first, order what you like. Love the Snakebite double IPA! Food is excellent, service friendly. Food is freshly made. Comfortable pub right on the plaza. Gets crowded!

I can't visit Loreto without stopping here once or twice or more... 1. Best margarita in Loreto, based on extensive field research. 2. Generous portions of fresh, chunky guacamole. 3. A nice caesar salad, and salads can be iffy in these parts. 4. Pleasant outdoor dining on the corner of the plaza...you can watch the world go by without being in the middle of it all. 5. The only brewpub in Loreto, I think. I'm sure there are more reasons, but who needs more?

The food was good, nothing spectacular but very good. The prices are set for the tourists. The pizzas are huge, easily enough for two reasonably hungry people to share. Delicious tortilla soup. The service was decent. Nice location bordering the plaza. The street dogs begging in the restaurant may turn some guests off. They did not bother us at all and I was thankful the service staff were kind to them even if they did try to get them out of the restaurants' courtyard. For the money paid I think you can find a better meal and experience in Loreto.

Favorite restaurant in Loreto by far. I've been to all of the popular higher end restaurants in Loreto like domingoes place & la palapa. The quality is wonderful! Steak, pizza, buffalo wings, burger, & of course they're delicious orange cake, are a few of my favorites. Not to mention all that food I mentioned and drinks were under $50 dollars! If your contemplating trying this restaurant vs others I mentioned go for this one

Probably the best fish tacos in Loreto. Although we were told that El Rey del Taco also has delicious fish tacos, each time we went to check it out, they were closed. :-( Nice outdoor seating, overlooking the square and cold Negra Modelo, en botella güey.

Very good food. Very good service. Easy to find. Spacious outdoor seating. We ate the cochinita pibil tacos and the Baja fish tacos. For dessert we had the orange almond cake. It was all amazing!

Note that this isn't 1687 anymore - its Zopilote. Seems to have a full menu, plus craft beers. We stopped in for a mid-afternoon snack - a bowl of soup (both clam chowder & tortilla were yummy) and a beer. Great view of a plaza area, good food, nice staff!

Zopalito's is the new name..great service and a twist on the chile relleno! Huge pepper stuffed with a meat mixture, battered and served on a creamy sauce. Good margaritas and a basil lemonade that was very delicious! Prices a little strong but can still get a couple of drinks and 2 dinners for under $35.. they give you an option of chips/salsa or bread with olive oil dip.. a nice change and amazing flavor.

Beautiful setting on the historic central plaza 1697 (the year the local mission was founded, I think) serves traditional and western fare accompanied with beer from their own brewery. Super friendly, fresh food and great beer! Try the rattlesnake :)

Just had the El Zopilote brew. Massive grain and hops. Loved the beer. Also available at La Palapa.

Beer is good and neat that its locally brewed not one of the big brands. The service was amongst the speediest we had when in Loretto and the guacamole and pizza were great. The location is a little hard to find, while on the square it is kind of hidden a bit by the Mita Gourmet restaurant next door. It is worth seeking out although other than the beer there are many equal or better dinner choices.

My wife and I had learned that the restaurant had pizza and burgers, so we assumed that they were catering for tourists that didn't know better. We ended up stopping for their own brewed beer and had a great meal! The pizza is very good and so are the Mexican items on the menu.
