The Hotel San Cristóbal's Restaurant offers a fusion of classic Mexican cuisine with a Mediterranean,
inspired by the diversity and culinary abundance of Baja California. By exploring All Saints and
surrounding communities, you can see fishermen arriving at the beach in their pangas with their daily
fishing, smelling fragrant basil in the night air, and observing whole truckloads of strawberries, herbs, and
green beans from fields not far from the beach . The menu will focus on this incredible local abundance,
variations of traditional Mexican dishes, and other fresh and simply prepared foods.
The wine programme will focus on winemakers who cultivate sustainably, with emphasis on organic and
biodynamic wines. The selection will cover Western Europe and the United States and include some of
Mexico's exceptional wines. The cocktail menu will include artisanal mezcals, tequilas and classic
cocktails from warm climates

When we arrived it took 15 minutes for them to tell us the restaurant was closed for a private event. The manager told his staff he called us, lying through his teeth. He then offered us a “discount” on our next visit. I would never go back to Benno.

El servicio fue excelente, nuestro mesero nos recomendó ostiones , lo que incluía una copa de vino. Los ostiones muy frescos , pedimos además la pesca del día al limón, lo cual estaba riquísimo. Muy recomendable y definitivamente volvería.

I've been to some of the best restaurants in BCS and this was by far the best meal I've ever had in the area. The corn short ribs were so creative and tasty (and vegan), as was the charred salad. My hubby had the mushroom risotto (I tried it - perfection) and I had the catch of the day with green sauce. Every bite was outstanding, the flavors were on point, the service was exquisite, and the ambiance was perfect. We have a new go-to restaurant in BCS for special occasions and when guests are in town. Super highly recommended!

I got here in a 2WD vehicle, but I wouldn’t try that in the rain. 4WD recommended in that case However, anyone willing to go down that road will be fully rewarded with imaginative and delicious food delivered by friendly efficient staff in a lovely setting. We scheduled our reservation to coincide with the Pacific sunset, and beachfront Benno is perfectly situated to enjoy that spectacle. We want to thank the entire staff for making our 20th Anniversary even more special. Muchas gracias!

The restaurant sure is striving to be something special and some of the food items were excellent but others were a miss. Feels like trying too hard some times to be overly creative. They should get there and focus on the menu items that resonate with the patrons. The octopus was great but the scallop, chorizo gnocchi seemed to fight with all the flavors. The servers were very pleasant and great wine list and ocean views.
