Dessert. Molten chocolate cake, and ice cream. Not low cal but worth it.
Dale F.

Tried this at their new location. The servers were very attentive, and the owner and his wife were friendly and fun to chat with. They have both inside and outside seating in an enclosed courtyard. I was hungry so I tried an empanada filled with sausage and cheese. It was served with a green and red salsa. This whet my appetite for the 14 oz ribeye and I ordered a side of vegetables and a baked potato along with it. The ribeye was a perfect medium rare. The potato had sour cream and seasoning. I ate about half of this but boxed the rest and went for the molten chocolate cake served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Wow, it was all great! I loved this place and will go back with my friends. I included updated photo of the menus because prices have been changing and the old ones on Yelp are outdated.

Ribeye with veggies

Wow! This was our first visit to this place and it didn't disappoint! Service was top notch from the second we walked in. Our waiter "Mark" was so informative, not only of the menu but also the surrounding areas. We started with the charcuterie with cheeses and prosciutto. My husband ordered the ribeye with veggies, it was very good! Cooked perfectly. I got the pork ribs, they had great flavor but were a little tough. My cheesy portobello mushroom was amazing! This restaurant sits off the beaten path with an upstairs view of the street below. Open to air. Blanket offered on cooler nights. Definitely give this place a try!

Perfectly clean and pristine washrooms.

I should also note, we have been fine dining around Cabo for a few days. La Vaca Tinta is by far our favorite.

The owner!

I cannot give a 1000 stars, but I want to! Yum, yum, yum! Service is 8000000/10, I felt like I was the queen and everyone was there for me! Ever had that attentive server that was just on point? That's here! I had it all! I was fortunate to have contact and conversation with every single person that works her and I've never felt like more a part of a family! I didn't know my first server was the owner, Ulises! we chatted about the wine and what I liked,why? Because he treated me like everyone! He is so humble and amazing! I didn't find out he was the owner until well later in my meal! He's not flashy and is down to earth! His wife,Estrella, is as so attentive and gorgeous and kept asking me if I needed a blanket because she was cold and was worried about me! (See pics to see how gorgeous she is! ). Check instagram for my pic! She made sure I wasn't cold the entire time, mama, Jessie is fine! Recommendation for wine was on point!l (of course the owner, Ulises was the one to recommend the most flavorful wine! Casa madeno and it was superb! Cab, Merlot, y tempeanillo, Just flowed ever so perfectly! Don't judge me on my whole bottle! NY strip was ordered and was cooked to perfection! Flavorful and get in my mouth! Baked potato with chives, bacon (a whole strip!), butter, and sour cream, perfectly accompanied the steak! It's very few and far between that I feel like family, but I will say that when I come back, they will remember me and I will be completely welcome! I feel like I'm the only person in the world that has ever been to this place and it's the best feeling. Macarenko made my banana flambé and holy Jesus was this amazing! He is fantastic! Check the pics of him behind the bar! Every single person has made me feel on top of the world in this roof top paradise! No, there isn't a view of the ocean, but when the food is this good what do you need? Fresh air and booze flowing is all you need ! When I come back to Cabo, my family will be here for me! Jessie will be back my friends!

You. Should. Go. Here! Last night we had an amazing meal and service at La Vaca Tinta. From the moment we sat down the service was top tier. The meal was excellent with our steaks cooked to perfection and served along wonderful veggies. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new restaurant.

Literally the best steak we have ever had in Cabo and probably ever! Very reasonably priced for the quality of food! Owners were so nice and explained where they get the meat and how quality it is. We highly recommend!!

Good stuff and really reasonable. Mark did a good job and really made the meal fun and unforgettable! Congrats on your land purchase Mark and good luck in the next phases of development! La VACA TINTA is all outdoor seating and on the second floor maybe an 8-10 minute walk from the Mango Deck back towards town. They had some phenomenal specials the night we visited but we went with some of the basics on the menu which were the pork ribs and ribeye! The meat and cheese tray for an app was great and included some juicy olives, grapes and unique cheese! Absolutely loved the stuffed mushroom and the veggies were grilled to perfection! My only suggestion is lose the awkward chat at the end from the bill lady and credit card terminal regarding taking a .48 cent charge off the check if you want to leave an extra one dollar in tip. LOL Cabo folks never cease to amaze me and the little antics they play but I get a kick out of it so go and enjoy and make sure you have that extra dollar if you don't want to pay the forty eight cent charge on your check hahaha!

We had a wonderful meal here. We shared the large filet and each got sides. My portobello was amazing. We ate every bite. The price was reasonable and the service from Macarengo was fun and tip top. We are locals so for sure we plan to visit their new location coming soon!

Marie A.

Our friends recommended this amazing restaurant. The service was amazing and the food was excellent! The ambiance was amazing and was a little open kitchen and small area for eating. We enjoyed speaking with the other patrons and the owners. We will be back next time we are in town.

Chocolate cake

Tucked away from the main tourist trap locations, La Vaca Tinta is second to none. The service was parallel with some of the best steakhouses I have ever visited. Each dish was made to perfection. With the kitchen in view from the table, it was hard to not love the entire experience. An absolute must visit if you are in Cabo.

Bone marrow - simply delish!

Cute (small) restaurant with great service and good quality steaks. Great value for the price. Portions are just perfect!

We first heard about this restaurant in June & went for my friend's bday. We had wonderful service & the chef is 5 stars!! Needless to say when we came here in October for my birthday we had to make my special dinner there. They did not disappoint!! The chef sent out a special appetizer on the house and after our fantastic dinner, the bar tender put on a special presentation with fire and a tower of glasses and served us a hot shot! Over the top!!! If you are looking for a place to have a great dinner for a special occasion or just because you want to experience the perfection of Desierto Azul, I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!

We came here for our last night in cabo and we are so glad we did! The food was fantastic and the…read moreservice was very good. We ordered the guacamole with fried rib eye (chicharrones) and it was amazingggg. So tender and delicious. For entrees two of us split the tomahawk. We highly recommend! They serve it tequila flambé at the table! And we asked for medium rare which they cooked perfectly. The other two had the fish of the day and octopus tostadas which they loved. Their margaritas (Cadillac) were fantastic as well. Overall we were really happy with the food and service. We were too full for dessert but will definitely be coming back next year!
