The Story Behind the Vision. Together, our founders have crafted TENOCH not merely as arestaurant, but as a destination for culinary storytelling—one that carries flavors from the soil to the soul.
Our founders created TENOCH as more than a restaurant—it’s a destination where flavors journey from soil to soul.
At TENOCH, every ingredient carries a story. The heirloom corn pressed into warm tortillas was harvested from our very own milpa fields, where ancient Aztec agricultural practices regenerate the soil and nurture over 50 plant species. The catch of the day is brought in by local fishermen who know the waters of Todos Santos better than anyone. Vegetables, herbs, and citrus are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, ensuring that each dish bursts with the vibrancy of Baja’s land and sea.
This field-to-table philosophy is more than a culinary approach—it is a promise. A promise that what you taste at TENOCH not only nourishes your body, but also supports the farmers,foragers, and fishermen who are the lifeblood of our community
The journey continues beyond the plate. At TENOCH, our mixology rituals are designed to mirror the purity and depth of our cuisine. Each drink is crafted with precision—whether zero-proof, low-proof, or high-proof—balancing modern technique with ancient inspiration. Local botanicals, house-fermented infusions, and ingredients from the milpa converge in cocktails that are as expressive as the dishes they accompany.
