Local produce meets Mediterranean and Asian notes
“Baja Med” describes a chef-driven movement, especially around Tijuana/Ensenada/Valle de Guadalupe, blending Mexican techniques with Mediterranean olive oil, herbs, and Asian accents—while spotlighting Baja’s farms, fisheries, and vineyards. Chef Miguel Ángel Guerrero is widely credited as a founder and promoter of the style. Typical dishes might pair local seafood with olive oil and soy, or garden produce with regional cheeses.
