The Los Cabos restaurant scene is sure to please all palettes. Whether you prefer traditional Mexican dishes or exotic Pan Asian cuisine, Los Cabos has a culinary treat for you. The cuisine in Los Cabos has been evolving, offering new and exciting restaurants with new menus and improved services. If you desire a more personal experience with a restaurant in your villa or home, we will gladly provide a personal chef to create your dining experience.
The Sea of Cortez is rich in many varieties of fresh fish and seafood, from a simple fish taco to a decadent Lobster Thermidor. Ranch style Mexican cooking highlights Sonoran beef filets, ribs and cuts marinated in savory spices. If you desire a break from Mexican food, try one of the cuisines of Italy, France or Japanese sushi. The restaurants offer many styles and settings including bistros, cafes, American and Mexican chains, beach restaurants and upscale dining rooms. We recommend reservations during the high season. Remember that most restaurants will not bring the check before you request it. Simply say “la cuenta, por favor” and you will be on your way shortly. After all…you are on vacation, so relax and enjoy!
