"Since 2019, chef Sheyla Alvarado has offered six- and eight-course tasting menus that are stunning visual feasts but also deeply rooted in the popular and regional traditions of Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe. The simple daily menu lists dishes by principal ingredient: duck, crab, mushrooms, clam with sea bass. Cryptic descriptions become clear once an Ensenada-inspired kanpachi tostada arrives with a spread of tomato confit, or a soft-shell crab taco with raw salsa verde hits the table. From fun antojitos to classics such as chile guajillo stuffed with mushrooms to expertly cooked beef rib with reduction sauce, Alvarado shows off an impressive culinary range." - Bill Esparza
"Open seasonally and set on the grounds of Lomita winery, Lunario is tucked inside a greenhouse-like building. It's a stunning first impression to walk along the winding path to discover this chic, modern space where an open kitchen draws attention and a few counter seats are available for those who enjoy a front-row seat. Chef Sheyla Alvarado presides over two multicourse tasting menus with a seasonal, contemporary and vegetable-forward focus, and many ingredients are sourced from their own farm. Her cooking is creative and bold, evidenced by dishes like the duo of Baja oysters juxtaposing sweet and spicy and the blue corn sope with a brilliant blend of carrot purée, smoked shrimp, and bright bougainvillea. Flan in chamomile vinegar with honey ice cream is an unexpected triumph." - Michelin Inspector
"Awarded a green star for sustainable and ethical restaurant practices."
"Lunario's monthly tasting menu is crafted from locally-sourced, seasonal produce, mainly from its own farm. The restaurant champions local viticulture and strives in waste management to enrich their garden and vineyard." - The MICHELIN Guide US Editorial Team
"Lunario, another notable restaurant from the Valle de Guadalupe region, was ranked number 54 in Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list for 2023." - Bill Esparza
