Bahama Mama

Due to a delay in our shuttle ride from the airport to the resort, we ended up staying in on our first night in Cabo. A quick call to El Ciruelo and we were able to secure a reservation for that night. We had planned on eating there during our stay as a fancy way of staying so this worked out perfectly. The location of the restaurant brought along beautiful views of the resort and the ocean. Service was attentive and detailed. The food was above average. Dinner took a few hours because each dish took some time to come out. We are also given a few complimentary dishes such as chips and with a pumpkin seed dip, ceviche, and sorbet. I tried the beet salad and ordered the seafood orzo pasta for my entree. The flavors of both were solid. I got the cadillac margarita to drink and it wasn't worth the extra cost for the better tequila. Maybe because tequila is not really my favorite. A couple of people in my group got the frozen moijito and that was delicious! The cocktail menu across the resort is the same so plenty of time for me to have the mojito! Overall a good experience, but pricey since it is fancy dining at the resort.

Ribeye

A lovely dining experience at Baja Point. Service was very good. You are definitely paying up for the gorgeous view. Everyone enjoyed their food - and the server Nicolas was superb.

Beautiful view and great service! And the food was very good as well. It was a nice treat to get to try oysters and their homemade plantain chips.

Liv B.

Great dining experience at this restaurant. Great food and the service. A breathtaking sunset view over the ocean while you enjoy your meal. A truly memorable dining experience!

Corn crema soup

The food was amazing. Service was a little slow but very attentive. The corn crema soup was so amazing I can't stop thinking about it. Came a little later so it was dark but we still had a beautiful view of the moon the the lights on the coast.

A very tasty tomato dip with fried plantains and taco chips

This is a strong 4 Star Restaurant. After seeing two negative reviews I almost made it 5 stars but then I felt I really have to be honest it's just not five-star restaurant. Given the expensive location in Los Cabos this price is surprisingly fair. But fair will still cost you a lot of money. Once you realize it's going to happen you still might enjoy it, you should. We did. The service could not have been any better. There were three or four different waiters that work constantly coming to make certain everything was A-OK. There is one odd thing, and I'm not sure if it only happens in Mexico or if I've seen it elsewhere. It is seems somewhat familiar a little déjà vu but I'm not certain. I have been to many great restaurants where I was given both respect and service. But it seems that when it's time to get the bill in Mexico I can never find anybody. I've been to 10 different restaurant in Mexico and the majority of them seem to be hard to find when it's time to receive the bill. It is almost the opposite of a restaurant that wants to kick you out as soon as they can so they can fill the table up again. Not a terrible complain just suggesting the differences. Every item we ordered were wonderful but the Black Bean Soup was outstanding. I have eaten here at least five times now and it keeps on getting better. The only downside was the ice cream. Not bad but not at the same level as the rest of our choices. I do love the fact that this restaurant is right at our hotel. It is so nice to be able to leave my room and have this beautiful place so close. In addition if you have read my reviews about Westin Los Cabos you will know cabs can be very expensive in this area. Many of the restaurants I've gone to when using a cab cost me $50 one way. So staying here and not having to pay for a cab is just one more nice thing when going to this restaurant. Although my wife and I like to go to different types of restaurants we would not be unhappy if this was the only restaurant in town.

Sea bass. Delicious
Julie B.

Really good food. We went twice so far. I had sea bass and my husband had grilled shrimp with creamed spinach and veggies. They were both delicious but the shrimp was better. We had the Mexican Prosecco. It was reasonable ($8 I think) and very good. The view is great. We ate inside just for the air conditioning ( same great view). The second time and I had a lamb appetizer dish and black bean soup. My husband had fried calamari. All were very good. The shrimp is jumbo. We don't get jumbo shrimp that often so the shrimp is still the winner! Thanks for the dessert for our anniversary!

Sea Bass
Christie O.

Beautiful setting, service is decent -however inexperienced. I was expecting a higher level of food and service for the high price of the meal. Local seafood should be bright and tasty this sea bass was dark, heavy and under seasoned. Restaurant was nearly empty on a Friday night for a reason.

Beef filet on top of a corn tamale, with a side of mushrooms

I had high hopes for El Ciruelo, and it most definitely did not disappoint. If you are looking for an amazing dining experience, this restaurant is absolutely worth every cent! My family and I entered excited to try this restaurant, located in a prime spot where you are able to see the ocean. Once seated, we were greeted by our amazing waiter Cirilo. He was extremely attentive and an absolute pleasure! We started our dining experience with a complimentary bread basket. The bread was warm and delicious. There was a spicy spread inside, and it provided the tastiest kick to the pán! The bread came with chocolate almond butter...I was surprised by how good it was. To our surprise, we were subsequently brought a complimentary amuse-bouche, which is like a bite-sizes appetizer created by the chef. They change it daily. Ours was a delicious piece of crispy chicken on top of an orange sauce. Divine! They also gave us plantain chips with a delicious pumpkin salsa. Refined Mexican flavors! Next came the tortilla soups that we ordered. If you are not used to spice, this might not be for you. However, my family is Mexican, so the soup's spice level was PERFECT! The layer of cheese on top was excellent. After our appetizers, we were pleasantly greeted with a palate cleanser! This was a fruit punch sorbet. It effortlessly took away the taste of tortilla soup from our mouths and prepared us for our main course. It was smooth, fruity, and a wonderful treat. The beef filet was our entree. The filet was soft and cooked perfectly, with excellent flavor. The mushrooms on the side were delicious as well. The filet was on top of a corn tamale - DELICIOUS!! I've had plenty of tamales in my lifetime, but this one was one of the best. For dessert, my family ordered the churros. These were soft on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. The ice cream was divine. We ordered coffee to compliment the churros and it was soooo good! My pictures do not do the food or experience of El Ciruelo justice. Disclaimer: previous review have said service was slow. It wasn't. That is part of the experience. They give you time to digest and enjoy the experience of dining, and after eating all of this amazing food I didn't feel overwhelmingly full - their intended timing is perfect. Thank you again to El Ciruelo and our waiter Cirilo for this amazing dining EXPERIENCE!

Server was fantastic. The garden setting was beautiful and the steaks were top notch.read more

Traspatio ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our time in Los Cabos. From the moment…read morewe walked into the intimate open-air courtyard, we knew we were in for something special. The setting feels like a hidden backyard oasis -- soft lighting, light music playing in the background, and a cozy, romantic atmosphere that still feels relaxed and welcoming. The food was phenomenal. We started with the Tuétanos (bone marrow), which was rich and perfectly roasted, topped with charred corn, fresh radishes, and Serrano chiles that added brightness and just the right amount of heat. It was indulgent without being overwhelming -- an incredible starter. The Queso Fundido with chistorra sausage was everything you want it to be -- bubbling, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the smoky, slightly spicy chistorra. Comfort food elevated. For our main, we had the ribeye, and it was outstanding. Cooked beautifully, deeply flavorful, and high quality. Every bite reinforced how much care goes into the food here. What really stood out was the value. The quality of the dishes rivals some of the higher-end restaurants in Cabo, yet the pricing felt more than fair. Based on food quality and overall experience, this easily ranks among our favorite dinners of the trip. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the night, which made the entire experience feel even more special. If you're looking for an intimate setting, exceptional food, and great value in Los Cabos, Traspatio is a must.

We didn't have a reservation but were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. Our table was…read moreright next to the bar, so we got to watch the drinks being hand-crafted, which added to the experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful--definitely a great spot if you like taking photos. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and a standout touch was the chef coming to our table to explain menu items and offer recommendations. The Caesar salad was delicious, and honestly, everything we tried was great. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the overall experience made it worth it. There was also a mariachi band playing the night we visited, which created a fun and lively atmosphere--just don't forget to bring some cash to tip them (unlike us!). Overall, it felt like a polished, slightly upscale dining experience. They also have a small shop inside the restaurant with souvenirs, which was a nice bonus.

If you are in the Cabo area you should take a drive to San Jose de Cabo. And if you made it there…read moreyou need to stop at Jazmins to grab a bite. We were on a cruise tour and I had this restaurant on my radar from prior research. The great thing is that they have a specifically directed towards visitors who have limited time on a tour I actually found that option well worth the price and the offering were good Our server Gabriel was great and the food was amazing. The restaurant was quite charming and the food had a nice balance of flavor.
