8 Course Dinner at Mision 19 Baja Mexico's #1 Restaurant

Mision 19 is my first 8 Couse Dinner tasting menu style. This place is the best restaurant in Baja Mexico according to Food & Wine. The portions were very small but quality was amazing! Over all my absolute top 3 favorite was the Parfait of Scallops, Seared wild blue fin tuna, and the Pork belly. The only
downside thing is that if you want to do the 8 course tasting menu everyone in your group has to do it. We had 2 vegans in our group that did not want to partake in this but at the end just to make it easy on everyone they opted in. The chefs made vegan dishes for the vegans in the group.
