Los Cabos has more than it's fair share of restaurants. Between the towns of Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and the Tourist Corridor you'll find more than one hundred places to eat that range from casual breakfast cafés to elegant 5 star restaurants for oceanview dinners. Even though you're in Mexico, you're not limited to Mexican cuisine. As a top vacation destination, Los Cabos has attracted a diverse collection of chefs who specialize in Italian, Asian, French, American and continental cuisine. There's a restaurant to fit just about any budget or craving and we'll help you find them.
In this section of our site you'll find some of Cabo's top tables based on our own personal experiences as well as from reviews from TripAdvisor, Frommer's, Fodor's, Gayot and top travel and food critics. We've sorted them by price point from high-end dining to cheap eats. Wherever possible we'll provide links to visit them online or read the latest reviews. Some may not have an online presence but are well worth a visit, especially those that cater more to locals than tourists. Often those restaurants dish out some of the tastiest Mexican food you'll find anywhere and at a much lower price.
If you have a favorite restaurant that hasn't made it to our site yet, please let us know about it. Spreading the word about great places to eat in Los Cabos takes a team!
Our pick for the best restaurant & sports bar in Cabo, hand's down. Great location on Marina Blvd right in the middle of everything with tables al fresco, shaded under a huge palapa and indoor with ice-cold air conditioning. More big screens than we can count showing just about every major sport on the planet.
A huge and varied menu includes traditional Mexican food, seafood, steaks, pastas and more. Live music most days of the week plus it's the home of the Caboholic's - an ever growing group of Cabo loving folks making this spot a great place for expats who call Cabo home and for tourists. Free valet parking!
Take Angel Carbajal's seemingly natural talent to create fantastic flavors and couple that with time spent with the Japanese master chef Masayuki Niikura – who can lay claim to creating "Spicy Tuna" – and you get NickSan. We'd be lying if we didn't say we think this is the best Japanese inspired cuisine in Los Cabos. We're not alone as the success of his first location in Cabo spawned the birth of a second up the coast in Palmilla.
From decadent Clear Lobster rolls to Sashimi Serranito and Tempura, NickSan brings bright, fresh and often new tasting experiences to his guests. For a real treat, indulge in the NickSan style Omakase.
You might already know about this restaurant's older sister, Baja Cantina on the marina but this one is extra special. It's named after the grandmother of the restauranteur and the dishes served are hers as well. Time may march on but we're sure glad it didn't leave Maria Corona's recipes in the dust. Visit once and you'll be happy about that, too.
Dine indoors our out in beautful surroundings while savoring scratch made goodness like traditional stone ground molé and hand-made tortillas. Fiesta Mexicana show on Wednesdays – cooking classes and tequila tastings available as well.
Farm to table is no doubt the hot trend in dining experiences around the world and Los Cabos has not been left out. There are several up and down the coast now but one of the first, and perhaps, best is Flora Farms.
Tucked into the foothills between San Jose del Cabo, the master planned community Puerto Los Cabos and the Sea of Cortez, Flora Farms is a foodie's oasis. Here you'll find the Flora's Field Kitchen, the Farm Spa, the Farm Bar, Flora Farms Grocery and Flora Farms Celebrations. Lots and lots to see but even more to sip, taste and savor on this 25+ acre organic farm making it a great daytrip to consider.
Here's a quick list of restaurants we find worthy of a visit while in Los Cabos.

This place has a huge heart courtesy of owner Don Weis who regularly goes out of his way to help the local community. One of the things he does is put on one hell of a Halloween party where staff and guests hand out candy to the local kids – not just a little candy but HUNDREDS of pounds. It's just one more reason to pay a visit... good hearts deserve company!
