Rosarito Beach: Farm & Sea to Table

Rancho Las Ilusiones
Rancho Las Ilusiones, owned by the Cordero family, is a working organic farm and livestock ranch. In 2012, the family opened a palapa restaurant that makes incredible conejo (rabbit) machaca with eggs and homemade desserts for Sunday brunch. The menu – based on traditions carried on by the family matriarch – also includes barbacoa and chilaquiles. The clientele are largely local Mexican families, so you know it’s going to be good.
Rancho Las Ilusiones is in the foothills just east of Rosarito Beach and the toll road at Avenida Baja California, Colonia Morelos. To get there, take Camino a Ejido Morelos east out of town and turn right once you reach the first road after a 15-minute drive, Avenida Baja California. Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico.
