MANTA

Inspired by the vistas from one of the area’s most desirable and secluded playas, chef Enrique Olvera conceived Manta with an intriguing double meaning: The manta ray symbolizes the kitchen’s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for blanket, conveys the chef’s emphasis on comfort.

Olvera celebrates traditions of the Pacific Coast—taking inspiration from his native Mexico, as well as Peru, Japan and beyond—while maintaining a distinct and tastefully casual Baja sensibility with a commitment to sourcing local ingredients from Baja Califonia Sur.

Organic forms are mixed in the space between dark and spot rays of light. “Mantas” that diffuse the light creating a sifted gradient, as natural forms of the sea that come out of the water to accompany the diner’s experience.
