Loreto Brings a Baja Seafood Table to Frogtown
Loreto’s coastal Mexican focus gives a Frogtown dinner a clear point of view, with a separate seafood lunch window nearby.
A coastal point of view
Loreto describes its kitchen through the waters on either side of the Baja California peninsula: the Pacific and the Sea of Cortés. In Frogtown, that is the restaurant’s stated starting point for a seafood-focused dinner.
The address is 1991 Blake Avenue in Los Angeles. Its website lists dinner every day and says walk-ins are accepted, while also offering reservations. For a planned evening, checking the current menu and reserving directly is a useful first step.

Give the menu room to change
A seafood restaurant invites questions that a static list of signature dishes cannot always answer. Ask what is available that evening, which preparations are raw or cooked, and how the kitchen suggests ordering for your table.
Our suggestion is to plan around contrasting preparations instead of arriving with a fixed list of dishes. Start by reading the current offerings, then choose the combination that suits your appetite and budget. This is a way to organize a visit, not a claim that CALIZ has tasted the menu.
Let the evening’s menu shape the table.

Lunch has its own address
Loreto’s website also points diners to Za Za Zá, its seafood lunch option accessed through a back-alley window. Za Za Zá’s own page lists 1995 Blake Avenue and Wednesday-through-Sunday service from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
- For dinner, use Loreto’s address and reservation information.
- For lunch, check Za Za Zá’s separate hours.
- Confirm availability before making a trip for a specific dish.
