Ten Essential Restaurants – San Jose Del Cabo 2022

Post author By Cabos Finest
Post date February 8, 2022

In today’s episode, we bring you ten of the most essential restaurants in San Jose del Cabo. No trip to Los Cabos is complete without visiting the charming colonial town of San Jose. With so many amazing dining options, not to mention the great street food and small taquerías on which to choose, narrowing this list was not easy. We decided to omit any resort restaurants. One of the great things about Los Cabos is how safe and approachable the area is for exploring. So be sure to venture beyond Cabo San Lucas and the gates of your resort to fully get the true feel of this wonderful destination.

First up is Los Tamarindos.
Located in a 19th century farmhouse, Los Tamarindos is the original organic farm-to-table restaurant. The menu is ever changing by the seasonal crops growing in the fields surrounding the restaurant, with head chef Enrique Silva following recipes from a variety of regions and generations.The restaurant’s meat and fish options are seasonal and full of freshness; the fish is hand-selected and the chicken comes from its own farm-reared flock of Cornish hens. The bar is fully equipped so come early and stay late.Also opt for one of Los Tamarindos’s popular cooking classes, held in the restaurant’s adjoining kitchen terrace.

Habañeros Bistro
Long a best-kept secret by locals, Habanero’s Gastro Grill & Tequila Bar offers gourmet Mexican fusion cuisine at affordable prices. For 16 years this restaurant by accclaimed chef owner Tad Chapman has prospered. Chef Tadd is involved in 3 restaurants and spends a great amount of his time at Habaneros where he has been able to express his Mexican Fusion style with a focus on fresh seafood and the grill. A recent move to the courtyard at El Encanto Inn gave them more space and a great location on the heart of Centro Art District. The newest partner Miguel Guerrero was welcomed aboard as they begin this new stage. It is great to see all the original waiters, bartenders and servers who bring knowledge and smiles to your breakfast, lunch and candlelit dinners.

Next up we bring you H Bistro–
Also located within the Historic Centro Art District H Bistro has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. H Bistro is a recently remodeled and historic art gallery. They kept the lovely brick walls for a lovely European bistro style. H BISTRO is the perfect blend of refinement and relaxation. People feel comfortable and content, and at the same time, share the bold flavors and fresh ingredients that we love.H BISTRO’s Cuisine is a creative blend of international offerings. An extensive wine list and a romantic, refined atmosphere make H BISTRO an outstanding choice for a special dinner. Chef Herrera created many private as well as club events for the many famous personalities who regularly visit Los Cabos as the executive chef at Querencia and Club Ninety Six at Palmilla. In addition to owning and operating H Bistro Chef Herrera is available for private dining and events.

Next is the festive La Lupita Tacos & Mezcal
If there is a local watering hole in downtown San José del Cabo it’s La Lupita, a joyously colorful cantina with a serious mezcal list and the best al pastor tacos in town. Grab a seat on the outdoor patio, and order a flight of mezcal, which comes with three pours served in traditional jicaras, the hollowed out gourds used for sipping mezcal. With a prime location in the historic centro this fun filled spot has a wide variety of delicious tacos. Recently chosen as one of the five best tacos in Los Cabos. Come sit down and order a variety of styles and sample the delicious Mezcal. The waiters are well versed on this desert gift from the Gods. They will gladly explain why Mezcal unlike Tequila should be ordered Joven or young.

Panazia Cocina Mexiatica is a newer option at a great location where La Panga used to be right across from the old Mission Church on the Zocalo. A fresh take on Mexican Asian fusion which presents a nice option for those looking for variety. Start off with oysters on the half shell or a variety dumplings. Second course of salads then wontons with crab, yummy. I often enjoy their spicy Mongolian Beef or fried rice offerings plus chow menu noodles. They feature a nice Peking duck which is hard to find south of the border. Chef Paul and Chef Zamudio bring their creative best at this second location of Panazia Cocina Mexiatica.

Next up we are taking a little road trip out to the east Cape for some seriously great sushi.

Zai’s Sushi Surf Bar is a super chill new restaurant about 25 minutes east of San Jose. Well worth the scenic drive. Be sure to make reservations as this is a favorite spot for surfers, off roaders and adventurers. They bring some excellent flavors to their wide variety of sushi, ceviche, salads and rice dishes. Excellent selection of adult beverages as well. Be sure to plan a visit on your next East Cape exploration. Insider’s Tip bring some apples to feed the local burros and a cooler full of your favorite beverages and stop at any of the endless beaches for the day.

Flora’s Farm is a world unto itself.

What started off as a 25 acre organic farm has turned into one of the most sought after experiences in Mexico. Flora’s Field Kitchen is the nucleus of this vision. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in the middle of the garden makes the farm to table concept extra fast and fresh. The day begins hours before dawn as the staff begin baking the breads, harvesting the crops and preparing the menu for the days guests, the owners and all the private events and high society weddings that may occur on any given day.

The harvesting of the greens continues throughout the day. All meats served at Flora’s Field Kitchen come from their nearby 150-acre ranch where animals are humanely raised on diets that do not include hormones or antibiotics. The experience gives you the feeling of wellness and balance that is incorporated into their menu and way of life. It is actually a simple formula, combine hand made food using farm fresh ingredients.

And moving on we go next door to Acre. This 25 acre destination is best described as an oasis where urban sensibility meets organic farm in the Baja. The heart and soul of this is the award winning project is the restaurant and bar. Executive Chef Larbi brings an elegant yet simple style that focuses on the organic produce. The vibrant atmosphere of the jungle combined with the music of their in-house DJ and the inventive cocktails of their mixologists creates a unique dining experience in the foothills of the Sierra de la Lagunas. Taking a que from their famous sister bar Keefer in Vancouver they have elevated this experience with a Mexican twist. The folks at Acre have a deep understanding of the nuances of Mezcal and their private label selection is on display on the rooftop tasting area. They recently added a second breakfast and lunch restaurant called Fausto’s Cafe.

Nick San
Just a few minutes from San Jose del Cabo at the Palmilla Tiendas. From beautiful atmospheres and artfully designed dishes, to rich textures, delectable aromas and tasty bites served in casually refined settings for a memorable dining experience.

When it comes to Japanese food with deep Mexican roots, Nicksan is the place to find fresh and innovative dishes, the “Nicksan Style” masterfully balances the Japanese tradition with the Mexican palate. Indulge in the award-winning cuisine of Chef Angel Carbajal and see for yourself why Nicksan has been among the top restaurants in Los Cabos for over 26 years. Embark on a memorable journey between the culinary traditions of Japan and the unique flavors of Mexico. Sit back and join the group of loyal followers, celebrities, tourists and local patrons who have made Nicksan their reference for Japanese food not only in Los Cabos, but in Mexico.

And finally we bring you to the last but not least essential restaurant La Revolución.

La Revolución Comedor de Baja California is a restaurant located inside a historic building in the heart of art distric. The name is inspired by the idea of ”revolutionizing” or transforming the conventional way of doing things in a restaurant, taking into account its architecture, food, cocktails and service.

Renowned Mexican Chef Benito Molina presents a menu of contemporary Mexican food inspired by the Baja California peninsula, with local organic and sustainable products. For his part, mixologist Osvaldo Vázquez offers a creative selection of cocktails designed to pair with each of the different dishes on the menu. We recommend you arrive thirsty and hungry. Their appetizers can easily make up a whole meal tapa style.

This is an ideal location for dinner after Art Walk on Thursdays so be sure to make reservations.

Flora Farms is a world unto itself.. What started off as a 25-acre organic farm has turned into one of the most sought after experiences in Mexico. Flora’s Field Kitchen is the nucleus of this vision.

Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the middle of the garden makes the farm to table concept extra fast and fresh. The day begins hours before dawn as the staff begins baking the bread, harvesting the crops, and preparing the menu for the days’ guests, the owners, and all the private events and high society weddings that may occur on any given day.The harvesting of the greens continues throughout the day. All meats served at Flora’s Field Kitchen come from their nearby 150-acre ranch where animals are humanely raised on diets that do not include hormones or antibiotics. The experience gives you the feeling of wellness and balance that is incorporated into their menu and way of life. It is actually a simple formula, combine handmade food using farm-fresh ingredients.What they have accomplished on these 25 acres is amazing, every corner has been utilized yet feels open and not cramped. There are the little things like their own home made ice cream and there is the mind blowing Hillside hayloft and Culinary Cottages that encircle the edges of the property. These owners have access to the fields, private pools and privileges to the grounds and spa. We spent a joyous week in a two bedroom Hillside Hayloft. Being seasoned travelers did not diminish the awe we experienced upon walking into the villa. The attention to detail is apparent around every corner and every nook and cranny. The main kitchen is a chefs delight with all the accoutrements you would expect from this world reknowned culinary resort. The open and light living room is perfect and the second family room can be used as a third bedroom. The salt water plunge pool is heated and we delighted in the cedar soaking tub each day and night. The bedrooms are spacious and separated making this a place for privacy while attaining the mountain views beyond San Jose.

Our private tour of the grounds was inspirational. The vibe of the place is tangible. You are at once transported and relaxed growing thirsty for their signature juices. So we headed back to the Bar to order a round and start thinking about our lunch. But first how about two of the best cocktails? I ordered the smoky Mezcal Margarita and Sandra tried the Cilantro Gin and Tonic. After a wonderful lunch prepared by Chef Guillermo we decided to get some sun at the Flora Spa and pool. This is for owners and guests staying at their signature cottages and villas. There are also many private gathering areas for members as well as activities each day. We also took advantage of their recently opened beach club at nearby La Laguna. They are offering new beachfront flats for sale fractionally as well.We took great joy in harvesting our own veggies each day and felt inspired to cook our daily pickings. We met many of the owners who came from all over North America. Everyone staying there seems genuinely happy to be part of this farming community.

We ended the week as we began it by preparing a healthy fresh picked organic meal. As we delighted in our hand picked and fresh meal we dreamed of our next return.This video review of Flora Farms is brought tom you by Cabos Finest your insiders guide to Los Cabos.

Best Tacos in Los Cabos

Post author By Cabos Finest
Post date November 13, 2020

Hi I am KT Morgan the host of Cabosfinest your insider’s guide to Los Cabos. Tacos are believed to be invented in the Silver mines in Mexico during the 18th Century. The Fish Taco is a decidedly Baja invention being claimed by Ensenada and San Felipe.

In any event we can agree that tacos are distinctly Mexican and absolutely delicious. Here we bring you the top 5 taco restaurants in Los Cabos. Before you start commenting on this list be aware these is our personal favorites and there are hundreds if not thousands of amazing tacos all Baja and over the world. Viva Tacos!

First up we feature La Lupitas Tacos and Mezcal. This is an upscale taco spot that opened a few top years ago in the Historic Art District in Downtown San Jose and has expanded into Cabo San Lucas near Medano Beach. They take the standard taco to new heights with their fresh ingredients and unique salsas. Instead of bringing you the stripped down version where you add the Coleslaw, pico de galla, chipotle sauces, etc… they in their infinite wisdom garnish each style to the best of their idea of the perfect taco. pairing this with an appropriate Mezcal pumps up the flavor as well as the fiesta. Both locations are festive and offer occasional live music.

1 Comment on Top Ten Restaurants of Los Cabos, 2020.

This list offers a variety of styles as well as prices. This is intended to recognize the very finest that Los Cabos has to offer.

Alcaravea Gourmet
This has been voted one of the top Italian Restaurants in Los Cabos. Head chef and owner Enrique Diaz has a devoted passion for his Mediterranean style menu and European style service. He has transformed the modest street-side cafe into an intimate white table cloth gourmet restaurant. His prices are moderate and his quality is divine. The lunch special is one one the best values in Los Cabos. Choose from locally produced farm-fresh vegetables to complement his wide selection of seafood, meats and pastas. They offer a well-stocked bar and a wide range of wines by the glass or bottle service.

LOCATION
Alcaravea, Ignacio Zaragoza s/n, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur 23470, Mexico
CONTACT PHONE NUMBER 624 129 8333
BUSINESS HOURS:
Open: 11:00 am – 11:00 pm MONDAY TO SATURDAY – CLOSED SUNDAYS

El Peregrino
Just up the street from Alcaravea is a locals favorite called El Peregrino. This family-owned restaurant has a bistro meets Cabo vibe. They have mastered their offerings and we typically go there hungry due to their good-sized portions. The Asian Tuna Carpaccio is a must-try starter. I find it hard not to order the 14 hour slow-cooked ribs. Another favorite is the Shrimp Scampi with white wine sauce. They also are well known for the steak menu. The bar is very affordable and they have a modest selection of regional and international wines.

It is a small and busy restaurant that has opened a second location called Kauil. So if you can not get a reservation for El Peregrino be sure to try Kauil.

Address Esq. Zaragoza y 20 de Noviembre, Cabo San Lucas

Nick San Cabo and Palmilla.
Back in 1985, Angel Carbajal met the Japanese restaurateur Masayuki Niikura. Niikura San enjoyed spending his vacation in Los Cabos and was a regular of the restaurant that Chef Angel Carbajal managed. When friends of Niikura showed up at the restaurant, he asked Carbajal, who was the manager, whether he would allow Niikura to step behind the bar and prepare sushi for his friends. Chef Carbajal said yes… and the rest is history. Japanese Chef Masayuki Niikura and Chef Angel Carbajal have been blowing the minds of sushi lovers in Cabo for decades. If you have ever eaten at an authentic high-quality sushi restaurant then you will no doubt love his fresh and creative menu.
With 75% of his ingredients being imported from Japan, you can’t find better quality Japanese food anywhere in North or South America.
From the delightful lobster roll to everyone’s favorite tune tostada, Nick and Angel’s team love to spoil their patrons with great service that will leave you more than satisfied. Located just off the Marina in the heart of Cabo and now with a second location in San Jose at the Tiendas Palmilla.

Flora’s Farm is a world unto itself.
What started off as a 25-acre organic farm has turned into one of the most sought after experiences in Mexico. Flora’s Field Kitchen is the nucleus of this vision. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the middle of the garden makes the farm to table concept extra fast and fresh.
The day begins very early as the staff begins baking the loaves of bread, harvesting the crops and preparing the menu for the day’s guests, the various private events, and high society weddings that may occur on any given day.
The experience gives you the feeling of wellness and balance that is incorporated into their menu and way of life. It is actually a simple formula, combining hand made food using farm-fresh ingredients.
What they have accomplished on this 25 acres is amazing, every corner has been utilized yet feels open and not cramped.

The Office on the Beach
Before Cabo was the ‘in’ place in Baja, the Office began as an open-aired palapa shaded ultra-small restaurant with great salsas. Today it is the most famous beach restaurant in Los Cabos.
We especially love the breakfast menu and exceptional service. And yes, the various salsas are still authentic and very best in town. Lunch is especially festive and you will find large groups and families spending hours savoring the fresh seafood, buckets of beer, and fresh margaritas. The kids can swim right in front and shopping from the venders. Friday night is popular being Mexican Fiesta night.
THE best breakfast in town!
Insider tip – keep five receipts and get a free t-shirt or hat. I have dozens of each, so I guess I’m a fan. You won’t leave disappointed.

La Revolucion in historic San Jose del Cabo. Led by general manager bruno, executive chef benito molina (of ensenada’s esteemed manzanilla), la revolución is one of the most talked about openings in los cabos…
Located in downtown San Jose del Cabo in the center of the art district, la revolución is a contemporary Mexican restaurant that aims to revolutionize the conventional ways of doing things in a restaurant. Renowned Mexican chef Benito Molina has created an enticing menu inspired by the Baja California peninsula. Their cocktail menu is worth going by itself but be sure to let them guide you with some paired tapas or do the full evening of gastronomy.

The first thing that strikes you is the gorgeous historic building with a gin bar on the roof. They have completely refurbished this into a chic downtown bar and restaurant. The quality of the food speaks for itself. A favorite place on Thursday Art Walks so that night you will need to make a reservation.

Edith’s Restaurant & Bar
Edith’s is a vivid combination of the Cuisine of Baja California with a Guerreran flair, featuring a regional fusion of steaks and seafood with local ingredients.
Offering a privileged view of Medano Beach and the world-famous arch of Cabo San Lucas, candle lights and palapas set the atmosphere for an unforgettable culinary experience.
Prime cuts of utmost quality imported beef and freshly-caught local fish and lobster, along with Fresh salads, chile poblano, and hand-made tortillas are just a few expressions of the culinary celebration of life in the Baja. You choose your fresh cut then enjoy a tableside Cesar Salad performance while waiting for your entree. The desserts are equally wonderful as is the traditional Mexican coffee show.

Now lets shift gears as we upscale to the high-end restaurants. First up is Seared at the One and Only Palmilla Resort. Seared is the latest addition to the culinary skills of chef Jean-Georges. A gourmet Los Cabos Steakhouse where they present the finest possible steaks and freshest seafood along with the most comprehensive list of wines from Mexico.
From grade A5-Wagyu and Kobe beef to succulent steaks and tenderloins, 15 different cuts of meat of the highest quality are prepared according to precise standards, which competes with restaurants of the world’s most recognized grills. The menu also takes full advantage of the sea, with lobsters, delicious seafood, and hamachi sashimi.

Cocina de Autor- More than a restaurant, Cocina de Autor is a Grand Velas concept; a sensorial dining experience of fine gastronomy led by two Michelin Star Head Chef Sidney Schutte of the Netherlands. This is a culinary tour that reflects the culture and life around us. The lounge area is the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail and begin your culinary odyssey. After your cocktail enjoy a playful 8-10 course tasting menu showcasing the finest fresh produce and local meats and seafood. The dining room is gorgeous and shows the level of attention given to this star of the resort. It is rare for an all-inclusive resort restaurant to reach this level of perfection. This is certainly the exception to that rule.

And finally, we bring you Comal-Voted the top restaurant in Los Cabos.
Comal is a wonderfully inventive restaurant located at Chileno Bay Resort. Here’s where to find Cabo’s most innovative takes on regional flavors and traditions like braised short rib with cacao broth—set against a contemporary indoor-outdoor space spread across three levels, and dramatic Sea of Cortez backdrop…
Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
For the evening come early and enjoy cocktails prepared meticulously by Osvaldo Vazques and his mixologists. Executive Chef Yvan Mucharraz finds joy in guests gathered around his inspired takes using the freshest local catch, from giant totoaba to sea bass, telling their own stories, and creating taste memories that linger long after they’ve left Chileno Bay.
Watch the colors of the sunset over the Sea of Cortez while dining at one of the top restaurants in Mexico. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just delighting in another day in paradise Comal will elevate your Cabo experience.

This concludes the 2020 top ten restaurants of Los Cabos.

Post author By Cabos Finest
Post date March 4, 2020

The name Toro, meaning “bull” in Spanish and “tuna belly” in Japanese, sets the stage for specialties seasoned with Pan Latin flair. Overlooking the beautiful surroundings of Punta Ballena, the restaurant serves ceviche bar, small plates for sharing, grilled entrees and an impressive selection of signature cocktails and Latin wines.

A common location for winter whale sightings, the restaurant’s patio boasts an artfully designed whale fountain for guests to enjoy while taking in the ocean views.

The Toro concept comes from acclaimed chef and restaurateur Richard Sandoval, recognized as the “Father of modern Mexican cuisine,” who has an international collection of 40 Latin American-inspired restaurants worldwide.

At Toro, he masterfully blends Pan Latin cuisine with South American, Japanese and Chinese influences.

Acre Restaurant Treehouse Hotel

Post date March 23, 2019

We dined on their brunch menu at the bar area. We were greeted by the mascot Burrito, a recent rescued Burro who thinks he is a puppy. Oakley was not too sure about that description and kept a watchful eye.The open kitchen gives diners a show. These chefs are blessed with freshly grown ingredients and utilize a wood fired bbq.

The bar is a world unto itself with a tasting room for the house tequila. The mixologists have award winning drinks and there is no lack of variety. We chose the Ojo Rojos to go with our brunch. The simple salad was a delight with fresh arugula, radishes and tomato picked that morning at the farm, the ricotta cheese was also hand made fresh and the beet crostini gave it a nice crunch. I chose the hearty Bacon Ranch Fried Chicken Sammy with sweet potatoes chips. Both were delicious. The farm to table concept is alive and well in this area with both Flora Farms and Tamarindo restaurants close by.

Team Cabos Finest always enjoy doing restaurant reviews and this was another chance to spend some time at this amazing destination. The grounds include the farm, pool area, events lawn, fire pits, bocci ball, trail systems throughout the grounds and hotel tree-houses. The Acre animal family includes peacocks, roosters, Nigerian dwarf goats, puppies needing a home, and don’t forget Burrito the burro.

The tree-houses are rustic meets modern with walls constructed of locally used branches. These sit high up off the ground with nice intimacy and privacy. We spoke to some couples who were enjoying their stay and all seemed thrilled with this unique hotel concept. Nightly rates start at $275. Each tree-house has a king sized bed, a small bathroom, outdoor shower, wi-if and patio overlooking the grounds.

Stays include daily two-course breakfast, morning yoga, and free rein to enjoy all the ever-growing grounds have to offer. The restaurant and bar are the centers of attention and the heart of acre. The staff are all smiles and happy to make your meal experience. Savor it in Chef Luzande’s food, a marriage of global influences and local ingredients that evolves with the seasons.

Taste it in their innovative cocktail program, with award-winning concoctions. Overall I would describe the time at Acre as relaxed but refined. We left feeling happy and content and will surely return for another tasty meal.

La Deriva Cucina Italiana

Post author By Cabos Finest
Post date June 25, 2018

In tonight’s episode we are dining at the new La Deriva Cucina Italiana. This is a seaside restaurant right on the water and one of the restaurant choices at the new Solaz Los Cabo’s resort in the corridor. It is a short drive from Cabo along the beautiful highway 1 to Solaz. We arrived and enjoyed the valet service before sunset. We took advantage of their seaside bar and ordered a couple of margaritas and watched the horses head down the beach. The new Solaz Los Cabos is a contemporary wonder and a welcome addition to the luxury resort category.

The menu of Chef Patron Emanuele Olivero is inspired from a philosophy of tradition. The cuisine the chef serves has a long history passed down from generation to generation, which is why his objective is to preserve the authentic flavor of Italy with its northern influence. Each plate expresses tradition and innovation, at the same time offering the highest quality local of Baja Californian products.

Before taking our table we toured the indoor seating options and said hello to the kitchen. They were stoking the mesquite grill and preparing for a busy night. We opted for the patio table and looked over the menu. First up was the traditional mussels with a Gorgonzola sauce, the verdict excellent.

Next we were served a salt crusted whole cabrillo with organic grilled vegetables, a fresh side salad and a side of truffles and mushroom pasta. The chef paid us a visit and made sure we were satisfied. A nice touch as the evening was winding down. After a wonderful evening we decided to come back again soon and try their nice selection of dulces and aperitifs.

La Deriva is a romantic choice for those craving authentic northern Italian cuisine.

What they have accomplished on this 25 acres is amazing, every corner has been utilized yet feels open and not cramped. There are the little things like their own home made ice cream and there is the mind blowing hay-bail cottages that encircle the edges of the property. These owners have access to the fields, private pools and privileges to the grounds and spa.

Soon after we were greeted by the chef who prepared an amazing colorful first course of raw, pickled and braised vegetable platter. Even the flowers that lend vivid contrast to the dish are edible. The sauces and flavors were intense and the portion generous. The chef brought us another signature vegetarian plate this round being a couscous hummus platter with the freshest greens. We loved the lunch and plan another return for dinner when they feature local singer and songwriters.

They have recently added several high quality retail shops, gifts, colorful bags, resort fashion, beautiful jewelry store, body shop and coffee cafe.

What started as a mango farm on 25 acres in the heart of San Jose farm land, Acre has evolved into a restaurant, bar, hotel and events center. Upon arrival the walk to the restaurant is through lush vegetation and canopies of palms, mangos and centuries old Cardon cactus. The modern concrete design of the place blends wonderfully with the farm to table restaurant. We dined on their brunch menu at the bar area. We were greeted by the mascot Burrito, a recent rescued Burro who thinks he is a puppy. Oakley was not too sure about that description and kept a watchful eye.

The open kitchen gives diners a show. These chefs are blessed with freshly grown ingredients and utilize a wood fired bbq.
