Forget fancy resorts and tourist traps. If you are looking for the soul of Baja California, the real taste of Mexico, you need to venture off the beaten path. And what better place to start than a tiny hole in the wall lonchería called Viva México, nestled in the heart of La Mision?
Don’t let its hiddenness fool you - this little gem, run by the warm and welcoming husband and wife duo Gabino and Maricela, delivers a flavor that will make it become a regular stop on your visits to Baja. Their story is one of resilience, family, and a passion for cooking that shines through in every dish. And like any hidden gem worth its salt, finding it feels like unearthing a secret only locals know.
