El Farallón
Camino del Mar 1, Pedregal, 23455 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-163-4300 | Website
One of the most amazing dining views in Cabo San Lucas is at El Farallón inside The Resort at Pedregal. Set alongside the cliff facing the Pacific, it offers unspeakable views of Land’s End and some of the finest dining in southern Baja. Be prepared to reserve well in advance and pay for the view. Can’t get a table? Try the Champagne Terrace, the perfect setting to enjoy more than 15 champagnes — from Blanc de Blancs to Rosé and vintage bottles — while celebrating the little things in life.
Edith’s Cabo Restaurant
Av. del Pescador s/n, El Medano, 23410 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-143-0801 | Website
Edith’s is a vivid combination of Baja California cuisine with a Guerreran flair — a regional fusion of steaks and seafood built on local ingredients. A privileged view of Medano Beach and the world-famous Arch, candlelight and palapas set the scene for an unforgettable meal. Prime imported beef, freshly caught local fish and lobster, Caesar salad prepared tableside, chile poblano and hand-made tortillas are just a few expressions of Baja’s culinary celebration of life.
Sunset Mona Lisa
México 1, Misiones del Cabo, 23455 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-145-8160 | Website
Carved into a cliff overlooking the Bay of Cabo San Lucas with one of the best views of the famous Arch at Land’s End, Sunset Mona Lisa consistently delivers for those seeking excellence in food and service. With sweeping views of the Sea of Cortez, it has long been an icon in Los Cabos, and Chef Casiano Reyes creates refined Novel Mediterranean cuisine.
Manta Restaurant at The Cape
Carr. Transpeninsular Km. 5, Misiones del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-163-0000 | Website
Inspired by the views from one of the area’s most secluded beaches, chef Enrique Olvera conceived Manta with a double meaning: the manta ray symbolizes the kitchen’s focus on seafood, while manta (Spanish for blanket) conveys comfort. Olvera celebrates Pacific-coast traditions — drawing from his native Mexico as well as Peru and Japan — with a tastefully casual Baja sensibility and a commitment to sourcing local ingredients from Baja California Sur.
Flora Farms
Carr. Transpeninsular Km. 30, Las Ánimas Bajas, 23407 San José del Cabo, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-142-1000 | Website
Flora Farms is a 25-acre organic working farm in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains in San José del Cabo. It’s home to Flora’s Field Kitchen, The Farm Bar, Flora Farms Grocery and Flora Farms Celebrations, plus the Shoppes at Flora Farms, the Culinary Cottages and The Haylofts (hand-built straw-bale luxury homes), and The Farm Spa — an intimate, nature-based wellness experience in a supremely peaceful setting.
Acre Baja
Calle Sin Nombre, Ánimas Bajas, 23407 San José del Cabo, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-171-8226 | Website
Acre epitomizes a deep respect for its surroundings and a free-spirited sensibility. You’ll taste it in the food — a marriage of global influences and local ingredients that evolves with the seasons — and in the innovative cocktail program, elevated by produce grown just beyond the bar. The sumptuous space blurs the line between inside and out, making Acre both convivial and cosmopolitan: a vibrant dining experience in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna.
Javier’s Restaurant at The Cabo Azul Resort
El Rosarito, Zona Hotelera, 23400 San José del Cabo, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-163-5144 | Website
The originality and variety of Javier’s menu comes straight from its cooking staff. Hailing from different regions of Mexico, they bring family favorites to the table, and Mexican specialties are prepared with the highest-quality seafood, beef, pork and chicken alongside gourmet vegetarian options. Javier’s sources only the best and freshest ingredients — prime Angus beef, sustainable White Mexican prawns, U-10 scallops, Dungeness crab and Maine lobster.
Taquería “Guss”
Lázaro Cárdenas, Centro, 23450 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S.
Tel: 624-105-1961 | Website
If you’re ready for some “real” pastor tacos (marinated pork), head up the main drag into Cabo San Lucas to Tacos Guss and expect to be wowed. A traditional taquería with nothing fancy but the flavor and the prices, it’s a favorite with locals and visitors alike — come with an appetite, try the carne tostadas or fresh frijoles, and dress your tacos at the fresh salad bar. Go once and you’ll understand why it’s a local legend.
