Conchas de Piedra - FRANCISCO ZARCO

The food was not disappointed! Most plates are appetizer size portions so do not expect to order only one. We tried everything. A bit on the pricier side, but I would recommend if the household is not concerned. They only offered sparkling couples the day I visited. I would like to have tried more wine recommendations. Overall, great atmosphere. I would definitely visit again!

Conchas de Piedra was our first station when we arrived in Valle. At first our waiter was so helpful in explaining the menu options. The oysters (all 5 types of Baja) were so good. And the sparkling wine to go with it was refreshing. I can't wait to go back.

The bubbly and the food are right on spot! However, I am giving only 3 stars to this place because with the prestige that they hold, one would 've think they have the resources to spent in proper lighting for the guests to be able to...go to the restroom safely. If you have a problem walking in the dark and feel unsafe about it, either do not visit this place in the winter months when sun goes down early in the afternoon or just avoid going to the restroom while you are there or just go during the day. I dared to go to the restroom by myself in the absolute dark, when I saw how dark it really was I came back and asked the waiter if they had any sensor lighting or if they could turn on some lights back there, he just said no we don 't sorry so I proceeded to go back to my table and pick up my phone to help myself look after my steps using the phone 's flashlight...Once I got to the restroom which is fairly far from the tables behind another part of the construction beside, there was a man inside the restroom next to me and I felt completely unsafe in that atmosphere...since it was so dark outside. Once I was trying to return with the same operation of turning my iphone lantern on, I started stepping in the gravel in the dark and that must have tipped off the dogs they have because I was surprised with the huge german shepherd they have unleashed on the property barking at me right beside me, which was very frightening considering the whole scene. ...Not a great end to the whole visit. Uncomfortable.

This was probably one of our favorite meals of our 8 days (and many amazing meals) trip. We were happy with a warm, sunny day that made it even more perfect. The seafood was so fresh and well maintained. Fresh, clean aromas that...vs distracts from the high-quality ingredients. Both raw and grilled oysters were amazing and the oysters Tacos were from this world! The only course we did not love was the university that is usually one of my favorite foods. Unfortunately, this was the one item I felt, overworked, radiating with tomatoes and overpowering the university. That said it would go back in a heartbeat. We would have left the next day if they were open. We also had some of their sparkling wines from the winery on the premises, which was a perfect pairing.

Honestly, the chef left here. We even enjoyed it more than Deckmans. It was just... We ordered almost the entire menu, some items twice as well as a few bottles of wine. We will certainly come back as often as possible. Funny...although after we have eaten here, we have looked online 'how many oysters can eat a person before it gets dangerous '. That's how good this place is. Can't wait to come back.
