Los Cabos Hotels and Vacation Packages

Los Cabos Restaurants

In San José del Cabo, the king of the fine dining scene is still Mi Cocina in the Casa Natalia boutique hotel. Chef Loic Tenaux -- who runs the hotel with his wife -- turns out inventive French cuisine with delectable Mexican twists. In his capable hands, something as simple as fried Camembert cheese on homemade toast with grapes is divine.

As the name suggests, the versatile chile is the key ingredient to some of the best dishes at El Chilar, a casual but gourmet Mexican restaurant in San José del Cabo with an ever-changing menu and more than 140 different bottles of wine. For a different kind of spice, try Baan Thai's excellent curries, Asian noodle dishes and fresh seafood. For a reliable meal in the company of fellow tourists, scan the endless menu at the Tropicana Bar and Grill.

Like everything at Las Ventanas al Paraíso in the Corridor district, the hotel's fine dining restaurant -- simply called The Restaurant -- is the epitome of first-rate service and good taste. Lobster, lamb and aged cuts of beef are the stars of a menu that subtly blends French, Asian and Mexican influences. Another must-eat destination in the Corridor is Pitahayas, an upscale Asian-Mexican restaurant in a casual beachside palapa setting. Don't miss the barbecued duck.

For a romantic dinner in Cabo San Lucas, make reservations at the intimate Casa Rafael. For a gourmet take on Mexico's best regional dishes -- like chiles en nogada and cochinita pibíl -- the locals rave about Mi Casa. Another favorite is Nik San for exquisitely prepared sushi with delightful Mexican accents. If you can't make it through vacation without a pastrami on rye, get in line at Señor Greenberg's Mexicatessen. For strong early morning coffee and a quick breakfast, go to Café Canela on the Cabo Marina boardwalk.
