Acre is one of our go-to places when you want good food, great service, and a spectacular setting. It's a place we often recommend for any kind of celebration because of the beauty of the location and their attention to even the smallest details. This magical place built in the middle of a mango orchard is off the beaten path a bit but worth the trip.
In the heart of the Baja, the menu features a wide variety of seasonal, locally-sourced dishes with a focus on organic and sustainable ingredients. The menu is based on whatever is fresh and local, and their cocktails are described as "convivial and cosmopolitan," which is to say they are unique and delicious!
The atmosphere is casual yet elegant, and everyone loves how they take care of their guests. The decor is just beautiful and complements the surrounding landscape of palm trees and foothills. They even have treehouses on the property if you're looking for a fantastic experience to stay overnight! Food is served family-style here, but you can request plated dinners for smaller groups.

The ingredients for their dishes come straight from the farm or from nearby farms or ranches, so you know they are fresh and delicious!
