Menu
Popular local restaurants we recommend include:
Acre. Tucked in the foothills of San Jose del Cabo, Acre is set on 25 acres of lush greenery and features an indoor-outdoor blend of exciting amenities. These include a hotel, villas, treehouses, and an organic farm; spaces for private events; an award-winning bar and restaurant; a diner, Fausto’s (open for breakfast and brunch until 2 p.m.); and The Blue Room, a private dining space for groups looking for a one-of-a-kind culinary experience.
Edith’s. Named after the restaurant’s owner, Edith Jiménez, Edith’s is a charming spot with thatched ceilings and rustic wooden tables located near Médano Beach. The food combines Baja with the rustic cuisine of the owner’s hometown in the mountains of Guerrero. Chile poblano, handmade tortillas, fresh seafood, and excellent steaks are among the restaurant’s specialties.
El Farallon. Tucked into the cliffs of Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, El Farralon (“The Cliff”) overlooks the Pacific Ocean and features a high-end ocean-to-table menu.
Flora Farm. It doesn’t get more farm-to-table than Flora Farms, a 25-acre organic working farm in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains in San Jose del Cabo. Make a day of it by touring the farm, shopping at the on-premises grocery store, taking cooking classes, indulging in the nature-based spa services, and enjoying a craft cocktail at the bar or a seasonal feast at the on-site restaurant, Flora’s Field Kitchen.
La Lupita. Located in San José del Cabo’s buzzing Old Town, La Lupita gives you a taste of the real Mexico. The courtyard has a busy bar that slings La Lupita’s famous margaritas and tamarind martinis. The menu is ruled by tacos, both classic and with modern twists like pastor (marinated pork). There is also live music.
Los Tamarindos. An organic farm and restaurant just a mile from the Sea of Cortez and the estuary of San Jose del Cabo, Los Tamarindos is based in a nineteenth-century farmhouse that once grew sugar cane. From chicken to salsa to pesto to vegetables, everything on the menu comes from the farm, and the fish is caught daily by the local fishermen.
Restaurante Los Tres Gallos. The family-owned Restaurante Los Tres Gallos (“The Three Roosters”) is located in the heart of Cabo San Lucas and serves traditional Mexican food based on venerable family recipes that go back generations. Enjoy the hand-rolled tortillas, housemate salsas, and generous portions of favorites like enchiladas in a lovely hacienda-style courtyard.
Seven Seas Seafood Grille. Seafood is king at the palapa-shaded beachside Seven Sea, located at the boutique Cabo Surf Hotel on Acapulquito Beach. One highlight of the menu is chocolate clams. Seven Seas also features live jazz.
SUR Beach House. As the name suggests, SUR is the kind of restaurant — chic yet laid-back — where you don’t have to wear your shoes. It features daily DJs, an open-air dining room, views of Médano Beach, and an international menu of beach-friendly fare with a focus on seafood.
The Office on the Beach. The Office is famed for its fresh seafood, beach setting, and live music. It started in the pre-tourist 70s as a small kitchen and bar on the beach, mostly serving the locals, and it hasn’t let up since. Expect simple, delicious fare that’s heavy on seafood. And lots of margaritas.
Toro Latin Kitchen & Bar. Overlooking the beautiful surroundings of Punta Ballena, this restaurant features a ceviche bar, small plates for sharing, grilled entrées, and an impressive selection of signature cocktails and Latin wines. The patio faces the ocean and is a great spot for whale watching. Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Richard Sandoval — whose company Richard Sandoval Hospitality has dozens of Latin-American–inspired restaurants worldwide — is responsible for Toro’s blend of pan-Latin cuisine with South American, Japanese, and Chinese influences.
Cabo has art events and music and culture festivals throughout the year. Throw in a healthy dose of golf and fishing tournaments, and you’ve got something going on pretty much every weekend.
Sabor a Cabo Food and Wine Festival.

Fiesta de la Música. Held annually on the summer solstice, this international event celebrates local music.
Independence Day. Mexican independence is celebrated every September 16 in cities and towns throughout Mexico. On September 15, the eve of Mexican Independence Day, the governors of each state wave the Mexican flag, and the crowd sings the national anthem. A parade, rodeos, bullfights, and other festivities follow the next day.
Day of the Dead. One of the biggest and most important holidays, the Day of the Dead merges Catholicism and pre-Columbian beliefs by honoring ancestors. It is celebrated in Cabo and throughout the nation. Elaborate altars pop up all over, including in main squares.
