Playas de Rosarito restaurants are finalists in prestigious Restaurant Distinction Award

Have you heard of Lazzo de Tinto or Hacienda de Badú? If not, it is time to get to know some of the local treasures that Baja California has for you when it comes to food and gastronomy. Both restaurants are located in Playas de Rosarito and are currently representing the region in one of Mexico’s most important gastronomic awards.

The Restaurant Distinction Award by the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (CANIRAC), which has been celebrated for 31 years, recognizes restaurants that distinguish themselves by uplifting the industry with their creativity, leadership, service, and culinary excellence.

“In CANIRAC we recognize the invaluable work of each of the nominees, who uplift the gastronomic offer and experience of Mexico with distinction and excellence,” they stated on their official website.

There are several categories such as “Traditional Cook of the Year” and the “Carlos Anderson Category for Restaurant Innovation”. These two were the ones in which Hacienda de Badú and Lazzo de Tinto were nominated to, respectively.

Lazzo de Tinto describes itself as the “penthouse of Baja, where you will be able to enjoy our culinary heritage, our exquisite mixology, and amazing sunsets,” while Hacienda de Badú distinguishes itself due to its food and traditional breakfasts.

CANIRAC shared: “Very soon the qualifying jury, made up of several distinguished personalities of the restaurant industry and national gastronomy, providers, academics, consultants, journalists, publicists, and authorities will vote and pick the winners of this award for each category”.
