Delicious food and oysters and beautiful view! Great lunch and sparkling wine - blanc de blanc is more acidic and bright, whereas their blanc de noir is more rounded. Fantastic experience and thanks to Juan Pablo/JP. Hope to be back soon.

Some of the freshest and most incredible raw shellfish. Such a fantastic place to eat. Highly recommend coming here. There’s was no wait when we showed up early but they asked if we had a reservation so best to make one because the guy at the gate has to call to confirm it’s ok for you to go in.

It’s a lot of hype for what you get. The food is meh and they only serve all kinds of shellfish. If you don’t eat them, there’s basically nothing else for you. Also, it’s very pricey.

Delicious and fresh seafood. Unfortunately the service was kind of slow and there was not enough shade and the sun was pretty rough during lunch time. Nonetheless, the food was worth it. I recommend the oysters, taco, ceviche, and baked clam. Nice artisanal ice cream. The sparkling wine was pretty good too. Prices were good for the quality and size of the portions. A must in Valle!

Conchas de Piedra was an excellent surprise for all.
This was our first time visiting Valle de Guadalupe, the wine country of Mexico, with a full itinerary; this was a last-minute addition for bubbles wine tasting, and then we saw the food menu and started ordering plate after plate after plate when the first bites came, we were like ummmmm mmmm wow, delicious...small bites but tasty, perfect for bubbles especially at lunch, because you will continue wine tasting and the less thing you want, is palate fatigue.
All the small dishes were flavorful, valance, not too salty or over welded wine, and paired well with sparkling wine
