Cabo San Lucas Restaurants

  1. Baja Cantina

    This is Cabo at its un-swanky best: outdoor seating over the marina, anglers downing margaritas over chips and salsa, great service, huge plates of tasty (though slightly Americanized) Mexican food, stiff drinks and relatively reasonable prices. No fluff here. Good breakfasts.

  2. El Pollo de Oro

    Scrumptious grilled chicken and delicious oven-cooked pork ribs are only part of the story. The rest: great prices. A quarter roast chicken goes for around US$3 , as do the huge breakfast plates of chilequiles (a traditional tortilla chip and chile-sauce dish) or huevos rancheros (ranch-style eggs). Patio seating; always busy.

  3. La Europea

    Big wholesome baguette sandwiches and salads make for healthy and affordable lunches, and marina-front tables make for good people-watching. Excellent selection of tequilas and Mexican wines.

  4. La Pampa

    As small as it is stylish, this Argentine-owned eatery serves up some of the best steaks around (as well as various other parts of the cow), grilled to juicy perfection. Argentine wine is available, too. Great spot.

  5. Mariscos Mazatlán

    Local families fill the big dining room at Mariscos Mazatlán for the good prices and great seafood. Sunday afternoons are especially busy (and especially fun).

  7. Mariscos Mocambo

    Touristy but renowned for its large portions of fresh fish and shellfish, Mariscos Mocambo is just the place for casual atmosphere and reasonably priced seafood. It's festive without pandering to the bring-out-the-sombreros-and-tequila crowd. Great.

  8. O Mole Mío

    With wrought-iron furniture, Mayan fertility figures adorning the walls and colorful lanterns for light, the décor is as creative as the food. Even standards like enchiladas and tamales are presented with a whole new twist. The seafood is outstanding. Lobster (around US$30 ) is the priciest thing on the menu.

  9. Peacock's

    Another Mecca for alta cocina (haute cuisine), Peacock's serves some of the tastiest food in town. The chef mixes Mediterranean and Latin flavors into dishes like filleted fish braided with strips of nopal cactus; braised duck in tamarind sauce, or (here's heavy) grilled flank stake rolled with cheese and poblano chilies. It's above Playa Médano near the road down to Hotel Meliá San Lucas.

  10. The Fish House

    Although the airy dining room feels quite upscale, the prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the fare. The menu (which includes dishes from coconut shrimp to calamari in guajillo chile sauce) is imaginative yet straightforward, and emphasis is placed squarely on preparing good food.
