Restaurants in Cabo San Lucas
Thirty years ago, most of the restaurants in Cabo San Lucas served local Mexican dishes. Tourism to Cabo San Lucas took off in the '90’s, and with it came the development of a new wave of restaurants, spanning all types of cuisine. Now, you can find world-class dining options both right in town near the harbor, and in the Corredor region to the north east.
Some Cabo San Lucas Restaurant Highlights:
Right in town, just off the harbor, you'll find a collection of well regarded restaurants including Spencer Moore's Mama's and Felix, Salvatore's Italian Ristorante, the Brazil Steakhouse, Mi Casa, and the newly transplanted Gordo Lele's Tacos.
Heading towards the Medano Beach area and the streets that surround it, you’ll find Gardenia's and La Golondrina, a great spot for seafood, with the best Shrimp Mocajete's in Baja. La Golondrina is an open air restaurant with delightful garden landscapes and trees strewn with lights to brighten up the atmosphere.
Along Medano Beach you'll find more restaurants including the Baja Cantina Beach restaurant (sister to Baja Cantina in the marina), Edith's, The Office and the Tabasco Beach Club, a casual beachfront burger and fries type of place that also serves Mexican fare and seafood.
A quick drive up the coast will bring you to restaurants from the 5-star gourmet French Riviera at Club Ninety Six to El Chilar in San Jose del Cabo. Check with your villa specialist at Wimco Villas before you go to Cabo for some recommendations as there is always restaurant turn over.
