Restaurants

Amara is a stylish marina restaurant in Cabo San Lucas—contemporary Mexican cooking with harbor views and an easy, elegant waterfront feel. Come for seafood, premium meats, and sunset cocktails when you want the marina without the party-beach scene.

El Huerto is Cabo San Lucas's farm-to-table restaurant, with a seasonal menu from its own on-site farm—wood-fired pizzas, salads, grilled meats, and house-made breads. Open-air and green, it is a calm breakfast, brunch, or dinner when you want food that tastes of the garden.

Sur Beach House sits right on the water and feels like a Baja beach house—fresh food, strong cocktails, and views that keep you at the table. Come for a long brunch and do not be surprised if you are still there at sunset.

El Farallon is one of Cabo's most dramatic tables—carved into the Pedregal hillside at the Waldorf Astoria, a splash from the Pacific. The menu is chef's choice seafood from the day's catch, eaten with the ocean just below.

Fénix is the signature restaurant inside The Mountain Club, high above Cabo San Lucas in Pedregal. Chef César Pita cooks contemporary Mexican food over fire—wood-fired seafood, flame-grilled meats, and dishes like mole verde with homemade tortillas—paired with craft cocktails and a curated wine list. Floor-to-ceiling windows open to the Pacific, so book it for sunset.

Toro Latin Kitchen is Chef Richard Sandoval's upscale Latin restaurant in Cabo San Lucas, with a Peruvian lean—ceviches, empanadas, grilled meats, and a serious tequila and mezcal list. The terrace is made for sunset drinks and a polished, lively dinner.

Sunset Monalisa is an open-air restaurant on the Cabo coastline where you choose a three-, five-, or seven-course menu as the sun goes down. It is a classic date-night table, and the tableside flambé spaghetti is dinner and a show.

Rosa Negra is a lively Latin American restaurant in Cabo San Lucas—tacos, ceviches, steaks, and seafood with ocean views. Guests come as much for the night as the plate: live music, fire shows, and a room that stays festive.

Bagatelle is the South of France–inspired patio in Los Cabos where lunch can turn into dancing—vines overhead by day, DJs and sparklers after dark. Come for truffle ravioli and avocado pizza, and a night that does not stay quiet.

The Office on the Beach is the Médano Beach classic—Mexican food, seafood, and cocktails with your feet in the sand. Mariachi, themed nights, and sunset tables make it the easy, festive lunch or dinner everyone ends up at least once.

Il Forno is Cabo San Lucas's easy Italian—wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas, and a good wine list in a casual, welcoming room. Locals and visitors come when they want a taste of Italy without leaving town.

Mi Casa is a Cabo San Lucas classic—an open-air courtyard restaurant in downtown, known for traditional Mexican cooking, colorful hacienda decor, and a festive atmosphere. Handmade tortillas, margaritas, and mariachi make it a favorite first-night dinner.

Anglers Landing sits on the Cabo San Lucas Marina, with harbor views and Sea of Cortez seafood—ceviche, tacos, shrimp, and sushi. Bring your catch for the kitchen to cook, or just come for a relaxed waterfront meal.

Cocina del Mar, the kitchen of the sea at Esperanza, is a palapa restaurant with 180-degree views of the Cabo coast. Seafood fondue and peel-and-eat shrimp are the fun orders—breakfast through dinner, it feels like your own table over the water.

Casa Martin is Chef Roger Martin's neighborhood restaurant in Cabo San Lucas—a warm terrace and bar serving contemporary Mexican plates and cocktails. An easy, stylish dinner when you want something local without the resort scene.

Los Tres Gallos is a Michelin Guide pick in downtown Cabo San Lucas—a big open-air courtyard with fruit trees and a rooftop terrace in the evening. Traditional family recipes: chiles rellenos, enchiladas, mole, pozole, and a flan built for sharing.

Nicksan has served Mexican-Japanese sushi just steps from the Cabo San Lucas marina for 30 years. Fresh fish, creative rolls, and Baja flavors in the heart of town.

Tacos Gus is the local downtown taco counter. Fast, cheap, and busy: shrimp and meat tacos, tostadas, and burritos. Open nearly around the clock, so it works for lunch or the late-night stop after the clubs.

Flora Farms is the working farm outside San José del Cabo with a farm-to-table restaurant, on-site bakery, and shops and cottages on the grounds. Everything is as fresh as it gets, and the carrot-juice Farmarita has a following of its own. Worth the dirt-road drive for a long lunch or dinner.

Acre sits next to Flora Farms outside San José del Cabo—a lush restaurant and cocktail bar on a property with treehouse stays and hidden garden corners. Strong drinks, fresh food, and a setting made for photos. Pair it with Flora Farms for a full afternoon.

Manta is the oceanfront restaurant at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel—seafood-forward plates that mix Mexican and Asian flavors, with 180-degree views of the sea and El Arco. Order the Korean fried chicken and the guac, then go upstairs to The Rooftop for a nightcap.
