Restaurants near Cerritos Beach Hotel Desert Moon

Acre was a wonderful way to spend our thanksgiving away from home. The drinks were great, the food was excellent and they accommodated a request I made and the service was top notch. So friendly and attentive. There was a crying baby near us which is not their fault but it was annoying. Doesn’t make it as relaxing . We also had young children awhile ago and were always aware of times of day and what restaurants to take them too. It’s just polite to do that for other adults wanting quiet, peaceful dinners without screaming children.

My recent dinner at Botánica with my wife was wonderful in every way. The open air atmosphere surrounded by gardens with romantic lighting was so lovely. Manuel our server was excellent - attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our Margaritas and Mezcalitas were perfectly prepared. We were presented with a plate of pillowy focaccia and a delicious side of oven roasted garden eggplant purée. We started with “Botanica in a Vase” which was a huge colorful salad made from fresh and pickled vegetables from the garden dressed with a Flor de Jamaica dressing. For entrées we ordered the Catch of the Day which was Cabrilla and it was so fresh and perfectly grilled. I think the best piece of Cabrilla ever! We requested corn tortillas and they made us incredible blue corn ones. Manuel said they get the blue corn from Oaxaca. Fresh sautéed vegetables and excellent salsas accompanied the fish. We also ordered a Pizza Margarita which was well prepared - classic, just the right amount of toppings on a good crust. We look forward to returning!

Extraordinary dinner! All fresh, all creatively prepared, wonderful service from Abraham, unique cuisine! From spicy Chapulines to Brioche French Toast it was ALL good! Interesting hotel, sort of brutalist architecture. Definitely do it again.

Awesome experience by the ocean. Beautiful place and quality food. 5 stars for sure. Hot stone dinner and trio for two were amazing choices. Fernando at the bar is a wonderful bartender too. Everyone was so nice. Great service. The head chef checks in with the table too to add to your experience!

Beautiful location, great service… simple and fresh ingredients with amazing flavors.
