Mar de Oro

Del mar al plato, como debe ser.

A coastal Mexican seafood room on Mexico's Pacific coast — raw bar, wood fire, and Valle de Guadalupe wine.

Dinner Tue–Sun Punta de Mita Nayarit Chef's Menu available Terrace · Raw Bar · Wood Fire
Chef Rodrigo Alarcón · Ensenada

A Baja room, plated quietly.

Raw bar discipline, wood-fire restraint, and a cellar built around the Valle. The kitchen keeps the plate clean so the Pacific can speak first.

Raw on ice. Fire on cedar. Wine on the stem.

"We keep the room low and the plate loud. No costume, no flag, no spectacle — just the Pacific, plated with the respect it asks for."
— Chef Rodrigo

The Kitchen

Four rooms, one coastline.

The raw bar, the wood fire, the cellar, and the terrace — each a distinct corner of the Baja Pacific, served the way the coast serves it.

The Cellar

Valle de Guadalupe, by the stem.

Forty-eight labels from the Valle — Nebbiolo, Tempranillo, Chenin Blanc, and a short allocation list you will not see poured elsewhere on the coast. We pour it in proper Zalto, not tumblers. We list it by producer, not by score.

Ask the sommelier for a taste — she has been to every vineyard on the list.

48 Valle labels
By the glass Six rotating pours
Sommelier pairings On the floor nightly
Allocated bottles Short list, by request
