 Situated on Loreto's picturesque pier, it offers a marvelous vista of the Sea of Cortez and the islands of Coronado and Del Carmen. Loreto Islas Restaurant offers enticing breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a long and tempting wine list. In the morning, it is highly advisable to ask for the "huevos rancheros", considered the most delicious breakfast in Loreto.
 The fish tacos and mouth-watering seafood cocktails and dishes, including clams and oysters, are made with the fresh catch of the day.

Mercados de Loreto
 For those keen on preparing their own meals with the freshest and most distinctive ingredients of the region, Loreto offers colorful and lively markets where you'll find meat, fish, dairy, fruits and vegetables at very accessible prices, since in most of the cases, the goods are sold by the producers.

Look for “La Huerta de Don Vicente†a street market that can be found behind Loreto's Mision on Saturdays, or Mercado Juarez. Once you're there you may want to ask the grocers for one or two cooking secrets, making your meals an unforgettable experience.
Mexico Lindo y Que Rico
Located in Loreto's downtown area, Mexico Lindo y Que Rico Restaurant is managed by a local family that has decorated the place with Mexican motifs, including in its menu that features the most appetizing specialties of national cuisine. The Huevos a la Mexicana (Mexican Eggs) are highly recommendable for breakfast, accompanied by a steaming hot cup of coffee and toast. For lunch or dinner, we suggest you try the tasty local tortilla soup and the peppers stuffed with fresh seafood from the Sea of Cortez.
The Lobster Trap
 There is an old culinary tradition in Loreto, followed by some local fine cuisine lovers, like Domingo Perez, owner of El Nido Restaurant, who once thought about creating a restaurant where the most exquisite lobster dishes were offered, which later became a reality: The Lobster Trap. Local specialties together with those of international cuisine and the most sophisticated cocktails can be found in this restaurant located in Los Cuatro Altos, in downtown Loreto, offering an entertaining yet relaxed atmosphere.
