Heard great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint! It is an immersive experience and the food matches the experience. We were lucky to enjoy the bar and the first 2 dish there, and then moved out to the outside dining area (our chose) to finish the dinner. Each food items was very well presented and had something special about it. Overall the menu was great and there were about two items that were just amazing. The food here is awesome and hats off for the chef. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant yet fun. The outside dinner table are near the Koi pond which is filled with beautiful koi fishes. At the same time, they had live music which was with a harp, another elegant feature of this restaurant. She was amazing and the view of the beach and ocean was just another outstanding experience. The servers here are very friendly and great at what they do. They add to the great atmosphere and experience. The servers are top tier in my book. I would highly recommend trying this place out, especially if you are staying at the resort which the restaurant resides in.

Nori seaweed and piquillo peppers

Signature restaurant at the Grand Velas Los Cabos. Usually 8-9 courses with dynamic and well thought out courses. Approximately an hour in a half service to two hours. Got to utilize the free child service at the resort. They provide children with dinner. Obviously not as good as what we had. Food was delicious but the service at each of the dinner restaurant are exceptional. The service brought the dinner to a whole new level.

Innovative cuisine in an elegant yet contemporary setting--this restaurant is a culinary adventure. First, we were greeted with a lively signature cocktail and a few small appetizers in the lounge. Next, we were ushered into the beautifully appointed dining room. We opted for the premium wine pairing to accompany our tasting menu and were not disappointed. With so many interesting courses, it was wonderful to know that the wine was always a thoughtfully chosen complement to each dish. Service was superb and each course was a feat of appetizing artistry.

Filet of beef with onion

Spectacular dining experience. Each dish was beautiful and had flavors that were unique and amazing. The service was stellar and the beautiful setting on the koi pond with live music made the whole experience incredible. The chef came to talk near the end of the meal and we couldn't have been more impressed. A top 10 lifetime dinner for me.

Wow! What a great experience we had at La Lupita Taco and Mezcal…read more This is a taco place. Don't expect any else on the menu except soup & salad and a couple of apps & sides. There is an indoor area or outside courtyard you can choose from. We had the pleasure of working with several Staff members including our main waiter, Marco as well as Ivan and Miriam. They were all so fun and attentive. They brought us a small serving of soup as an appetizer. My husband had a taste of the tortilla broth which had a little kick to it and I had the bean soup. Both were a nice sampling of the soup they offered. We ordered the chips & huac to start. The chips were thick and crispy. The guacamole tasted super fresh and bright. Now, the tacos are some of the best tacos we've ever eaten in MX or the US. The creativity and variety of toppings were outstanding. I really enjoyed the EL TAKESHI 190MX Rib Eye, Sesame, Hoisin, Ginger, Chives, Crispy Shallots, Flour tortilla. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor they developed was delicious. I also ordered the MEXICAN FLANK STEAK $150MX. Fresh Chiapas Cheese , Arugula, Crispy Leek & Potato, Macha Sauce, Yellow Corn tortillas. All these flavors worked so well together. One of the tastiest tacos they have on the menu is a cheese based tortilla taco called CHEESE CRUST PASTOR $100MX. Talk about a flavor bomb. Marinated Pork, Asadero Cheese Crust, Cilantro, Onion, Pineapple. My husband also ordered the CHIPOTLE SHRIMP $165MX. Shrimp, Chipotle Cream, fried parsley, flour tortilla. He loved it. For my Arizona friends, they will be opening a Scottsdale location in 2027. I can wait. Add this to your must try restaurants. Also, they just opened a location in Dallas Texas.

From the moment we walked in, the…read moreatmosphere was lively and inviting -- colorful décor, upbeat music, and that perfect blend of locals and visitors that tells you you're in the right place. It has that energetic taco-bar vibe people rave about, but still feels relaxed enough to really enjoy your meal. We started with the guacamole and it was excellent -- fresh, bright, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made to order. A great way to kick things off. For tacos, everything we tried was outstanding. The cheese shell al pastor was next level -- crispy, savory, and indulgent in the best way. The pastor had that smoky-sweet flavor people always mention in reviews, with just the right char. The miso fish taco was a surprise standout -- super flavorful, slightly sweet and umami-forward, and perfectly cooked. The milanesa taco had great crunch and seasoning, and the chipotle shrimp packed just the right amount of smoky heat without overpowering the shrimp. You can tell why so many reviews mention the creativity here -- these aren't just standard street tacos. The flavor combinations are bold and unique while still feeling authentically Baja. Service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Drinks were great, the energy was fun without being overwhelming, and the whole experience felt memorable. If you're in San José del Cabo and want elevated tacos in a vibrant setting, La Lupita is a must.

It's my birthday week, and since we're staying at Solaz, we saved this Michelin restaurant for my…read morebirthday dinner. It ended up being the perfect choice. Not only was the food excellent, but our server, Sergio, gave us a mini masterclass on tequila, mezcal, and yes--even Jose Cuervo. It made the whole experience that much richer. We started with two cocktails: La Rubarosa and La Damiana. The Rubarosa was surprisingly smooth and light - one of those drinks you don't expect to enjoy as much as you do. For starters, we ordered the bluefin tostada and the roasted beet salad. The corn tortilla on the tostada was honestly the tastiest I've ever had. Perfect texture, perfect flavor. For our mains, we chose the bean tamale and the seafood rice. The tamale came with an exceptional mole - truly the star of the plate. The tamale itself was fine, but the mole absolutely stole the show. Did you know that true mole has over 40 ingredients? The seafood rice was flavorful, masterfully prepared, and a generous portion. For dessert, we ordered the horchata ice cream, which was lovely. But the real surprise was the tres leches cake they brought out for my birthday. I was already stuffed, but I still managed to eat half and took the rest back to the room. Would we return? Absolutely - especially if we're back in the area. And if we had to pick just one restaurant at Solaz, this would be our top choice.

We stayed at the Solaz hotel for a wedding in June and we did some research on the restaurants. We…read moremade dinner reservations at Al Pairo for one of the evenings. It's right next to the lobby when you arrive. Has a nice open concept and you can either sit inside or outside, we opted for outside with a beautiful view of the water. The service is great, we started with oysters, soft shell crab tacos, and we each all got a dish. The octopus, I got the green mole, fish, and steak with mole. One of my friends got the sangria and it was refreshing. At the end they give you some various candies. I wouldn't say it's too pricey but overall it was a decent meal and good to have to not leave property.

It is gorgeous here and is reminiscent of the 80's with jazz music playing close to the beach. The Sea Grill is so chill and elegant at the same time and SUPER fancy!! Our waiter is very knowledgeable about fish and he knows what is gluten free and cheese free. We have homemade gluten free bread to start our exquisite meal! The amberjack crudo is deliciously refreshing. We ordered a bottle of Flowers Chardonnay and it was 4 times the price in California. Pretty crazy but it's kind of like being in Vegas where everything is super jacked. I had the octopus which had a pineapple glaze which is weirdly inventive. It was a little too slimy for me but bf liked it. I wanted his grilled prawn which he shared a lot of with me. It was A+ We were stuffed but they brought me a trifecta of sorbets for my birthday. We also ordered gluten free flan. I'm soooo fullllll We had a gorgeous view and watched the sunset then the sky turned a magnificent color that was worth the price of admission! We had a semi celebrity sighting too and he's a professional baseball player for the Dodgers

Service is hit or miss to be honest, which is unusual for the property as service everywhere else was phenomenal. Breakfast service was perhaps the slowest followed by lunch.

The gorgeous view, the wonderful staff, and the amazing food made each of our meals a magical experience. When my daughter-in-law informed our server that she is allergic to shellfish, he gave her options to some of the menu items (the shrimp was served separately in our order of shrimp Mac & cheese) and assured her that her food was safe. We ordered: Pan Seared Totoaba (fish) - my husband said it was the best fish he's ever had! Catch of the Day - Sea Bass - it was incredible! Red Snapper - my son said it was the best fish he's ever had! Prime Beef Filet - my daughter-in-law said it was the best filet she's ever had. The slices of vermouth-soaked pears were delicious! We shared the Grilled oysters, Mac & Shrimp, Street Corn, and Mashed Potatoes. The only imperfection was the 40+ minute wait for our desserts to arrive. Just as we were thinking about canceling our dessert orders, a manager came to apologize for the delay and comped the cost of our desserts, which were actually so good that we decided it was worth the wait! We had the buffet breakfast at this same restaurant and it was also a 5 star experience!!

Ladies if you want an amazing picture, do a slick back or a tight hair style bc the wind is wild lol!! Drinks 9/10 Had a mezcal old fashion and a tajin cocktail. Both impressive in taste but think the presentation could be better.. Food 8/10 -Appetizer we had oysters, coming from someone who is extremely picky with oysters I really enjoyed these. -Main entrée had the steak with potato puree. Asked for medium rare, it came out medium. The meat was dense and was not a fan of the sauce they added on top... the fig toppings were nice though. -Side dish we had a lobster mac n cheese. This was thick and creamy. The pasta to lobster ratio was good. -Dessert: tres leches with ice cream. This was 10/10. Im lactose and still ate the ice cream lol. Overall if I were to go again I would just go for a drink ,oysters and a dessert.
