We found Manta while staying at The Cape and it turned out to be one of the best meals of our trip. We did the tasting menu ($125 per person) and every dish blew us away, so well balanced and full of flavor. The menu is a blend of Mexican and Japanese influences, which makes everything feel unique and creative. You can tell there's a lot of thought and technique behind every plate. The Seafood Salpicon Causa and Mochi Sweet Corn Ice Cream were especially memorable. So unique and amazing flavor combos. I've never had anything like it. Our server (wish I remembered his name!) was super friendly and knowledgeable, and the service matched the quality of the food. We left stuffed and even had to take our desserts to enjoy later in our room. Amazing food, gorgeous ocean views, and such a great vibe, highly highly recommend!!
Excellent food, good service and lovely waterfront views. We came to manta to celebrate my SO birthday. The courses were carefully curated and took us on a journey. The dessert left a lot to be desired and the corn course wasn't our favorite but overall the courses were a hit. We will certainly return when in Cabo again.
Incredible dinner experience at Manta for a belated birthday dinner. The ambiance, service, and food flavors were memorable. Opted for the prix-fixe 5 course meal and was very happy with the offerings. The portions were generous and delicious. Not everything was a standout, but they were all at the very least decent. A little disappointed with the quality of blue fin tuna but I cut some slack as it's Mexico. The fish taco and the chocolate flan were my favorites. The starters were also great.
Another smashing hit in Cabo! Not enough great things to say about this area, besides this is the flavor you're missing. Came to Manta with high hopes after reading about chef Abisai Sanchez & his ability to source some of the best local products. Aesthetic & Ambiance: 9.5/10 the aesthetic is a darker, more intimate feel with single lights over each table creating the illusion of your own world while you're dining. The ambiance was a 9/10 very quiet, low-key, but also very inviting. Service: 8.5/10 our server was awesome, knowledgeable and even explained the menu in ESP & ENG! Very attentive and fun guy. Food: we were offered the tasting menu, and at $250/pp where the value was immaculate offering almost EVERYTHING on the menu, we decided to go another direction and select a lot of things we enjoyed! Rice chips & pico: 9.5/10 - the chips were unique and the pico was so fresh. - it also had what tasted like an avo/jalepeno creama at the bottom Otoro Sashimi: 9/10 very fresh, buttery and the ponzu soy was great without over-taking the otoro. Cebiche: 9.5/10 the whitefish was so flavorful, succulent and the sweet potatoes were also very fresh. Octopus Skewers: 9.5/10 WOW one of THE BEST octopus I've had in the world. It was tender, it was juicy, it was flavorful, it cut with just a fork and it was melt in your mouth delicious! The sear and bark are perfect, the lime and cilantro added just the perfect citrus bite. Mushroom Gyoza: 7.5/10 the truffle was great, the mushrooms were very fresh, but felt like it needed a bit more than mushrooms as the earthy taste was a bit stronger. Australian Rib-eye: 8.5/10 sear was great flavor, and cook temp were perfect, however the cut itself we received had a bit more of gristle. Korean fried chicken: 9/10 very juice, great gojugaru flavor without over-fried taste. The rice it came with was also delicious, it was a white rice with what tasted like a light mirin. Braised short rib bao: 9.5/10 very tender and pull apart, the flavor was heavy and delicious, the bun was light and airy and chef recommended we add the cilantro- tomatillo salsa on it, and he was right! (Always take a chefs reccos) Dirty rice: 8/10 was good in flavor, not dry and had a great amount of cilantro. Potato/cauliflower puree: 8.5/10 very cream, tasted like buttered puree which was amazing. Ice cream: 10/10 If you know me you know I love ice cream, and these were AMAZING!!! We had all 4 types: Mango, peanut butter, black cherry, and pineapple with the Korean lime. My favorite was the peanut butter - so flavorful felt like a peanut was liquified then frozen. The color was shocking for a peanut butter but the other flavors were also just as amazing. - The mango & Pineapple are a sorbet, so a little different creaminess but still so delicious! The dulce de leche: 8/10 soaked perfectly, with the black cherry ice cream. Very flavorful but kind of seemed more like a French toast being on brioche. Really recommend this place if you're in the area!!
I had a great dining experience at Manta at the Thompson Hotel. The service was attentive and impeccable! I opted for the 5 course chef menu and my server, Neri, was so helpful in helping me choose because everything sounded delicious. This is definitely a high end restaurant so portions are small but for me, they were enough between everything I had. And the views were stunning! 10/10 experience just to be in one of Chef Olvera's restaurants!
We were looking forward to this dinner but this was the biggest disappointment of our trip and unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. It all started when we approached the host stand. We had reservations at 6:00pm and three hostesses greeted us by the name Monica. The service was less than subpar as they seemed disinterested and inattentive, which was a bad first impression and set the tone for the evening. We requested a booth and were told by the 3 hosts that they had reservations and could not accommodate. At the time of our reservation there was less than 5 tables sat in the entire restaurant. Instead, we were sat next to a half portion wall that had a splatter of sauces on the if from previous diners. It was disgusting to say the least! At that point I really was not interested in the food because all I could see was the filthy wall and service staff standing around carrying on personal conversations. We were there for over an hour and never saw anyone get sat at the 3 booths that we requested when we arrived for our reservation. Additionally, I had a troubling interaction with the restaurant manager. He assured us that we wouldn't be charged for our meal due to the lack of genuine hospitality, but to my surprise, my card was still charged. This lack of follow-through on their promise left a poor impression and made the overall experience disappointing. I hope they can address these issues in the future, as I had high hopes for a pleasant dining experience and was recommended to us by friends. I am not quite sure how they have 4.8 rating on OpenTable. Maybe it was just an off night but with so many extraordinary options in the area they should be on their game every service. Thank you for your consideration.
Manta was the best dinner we had during our stay in Cabo. We came for our reservation at 630pm on a Tuesday night and it felt so nice to be in such a serene environment compared to what I can imagine to be a very busy restaurant on the weekends. Our server Gerardo made recommendations and explained the menu to us in detail. We ordered: Drinks: Bottle of still water Avocado cocktail Colimita Colima (beer) The Tasting Menu: Blue Fish Tuna sashimi - wow, just wow Watermelon salad Beef bao - the best bao I've ever had Grilled fish with tortillas Tres leches - best bite of the week! A la carte: Korean fried chicken with white rice This was such a special dining experience as Gerardo and the other servers would explain every dish as they brought it out. I really appreciated that detail as it reminded me so much of dining in Los Angeles. Every single bite was amazing but the few I added noted on above were AMAZING. I will definitely be coming back to dine here, and I will be visiting Damian in Los Angeles when we return home as it's the same chef who created both restaurants.
Wow, Manta! Probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in Cabo! The food - OUTSTANDING! Like unbelievably delicious and unexpected. Best octopus I've ever had in my life including the watermelon salad. Incredible Service, beautiful beautiful atmosphere! Just the perfect get away with the most amazing food and Service
We dined at Manta in the Cape Hotel this week during our stay in Cabo. What an experience... a bit on the pricey side, but all things considered, worth every penny... read on! The first thing you notice about Manta is the absence of color or anything on the walls... everything is painted black! As explained by our waiter Sergio, the idea is to allow patrons to focus exclusively on the beach and ocean before you, without distraction. You have to see it to get it... it works! Segio was great all evening... attentive, but not intrusive. He did a wonderful job of guiding us through the menu based upon our discussions about what we like and/or don't like. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Sergio! We started with a cocktail, Avocado Cocktail and the Mezcal Negroni. Both were delicious, but as dinner progressed, we decided to peruse the wine list, and settled on a beautiful Henri Lurton Chenin Blanc, Valle San Vicente, MX. The bottle was perfectly cellared and served at the right temperature. It was awesome... The food parade began with some complimentary chips and salsas, the chips were made of blue corn and rice. The chips were super light and airy, and the salsas were sublime. Flavors were intense and deep. Very good start to the evening! The courses to follow included the Tuna Sashimi. The fish was "melt in your mouth," and paired exquisitely well with the sides. Ensalada Melon followed, cantaloupe and honey dew melon, tiger's milk, yuzu and peppermint... WOW! Next up was the Mushroom Ramen soup. The soup was easily one of the best bowls of ramen we have ever had. It was divine! Seemingly endless layers of flavor, every bite was savory. Octopus Anticucho followed, with pasilla peppers and chorizo mayo... the BOMB! Unfortunately, we didn't save room for an entree, and ended the evening with the Sticky Rice/Mango Sorbet. A wonderful ending to an exquisite meal. Highly recommend Mantra is you're in Cabo!
Awesome experience. We had 12 in our group but we split into two tables of 6. From the start of the meal to the end, we were taken care of like guests in someone's home. The staff were excellent throughout, with perfect recommendations, explanations of what the dish was, and everything. We ordered so many things but the highlights were the hummus, the beets, the GUAC! Everything is very fresh, very tasty and the fusion of Mexican and Japanese works on such a good level! For drinks, you cannot go wrong. All of their cocktails were unique but man, so good! If you're in Cabo, add Manta to your list!
Excellent service from start to finish, set inside a beautiful hotel with high security, the Thompson hotel sits on a cliff and was basically designed to be Instagrammable. This was the setting for our beautiful sunset dinner. The staff seated us immediately and we're incredibly helpful in taking photos for us. Our waiter explained everything about the restaurant and his recommendations and off we went. From top to bottom, just excellent service - I won't bore you with every minute detail, but it was the meaningful details that really reigned everything in. The service of course is the cherry on top of this breadth of beautiful food and drink sundae. Everything was flavorful and gorgeous, but the items I'd highly recommend are: Tuna sashimi - buttery-soft, melt in your mouth tuna spices accented with two dipping sauces, both really adding to the depth of the dish to elevate it beyond just sashimi. Charred octopus - I kid you not, top two for favorite octopus dishes, tying with our favorite omakase in Hawaii. Incredibly tender and well prepared, the deep char flavor is contrasted with its served sauce that brings a light acid and sweetness on the tongue. Overall, my only complaint is why hasn't this restaurant earned a star yet?

Manta in Cabo was by far one of the best dining experiences of my life. We did the prix fixe tasting menu, which included about ten small plates, and every dish was incredible. It truly felt like a little piece of heaven on your palate. The beautiful setting and atmosphere made the whole experience feel even more special. The cost was about $150 per person, which may sound pricey, but the experience made it completely worth it. The menu included a mix of fresh sashimi, ceviche, and signature dishes like bao buns and soy glazed sweet potato. Everything was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The tasting menu included ten courses with dessert, and the whole evening felt thoughtful and memorable from start to finish. If you visit, I highly recommend doing the tasting menu. I cannot wait to go back. Tip: If you go, definitely do the tasting menu. It is the best way to experience the restaurant and try a variety of their dishes. read more

A great dining experience to try new flavors from around the world. The flavors have an Asian twist with a Mexican flair. In our tasting menu setting; they bright in flavors from around Asian from Japanese sushi; to Thai sticky mango rice dessert; the steak; fish; tacos; ceviche were amazing. I found every dish to have explosive flavors but not overpowering. This was in Cabo at an upscale hotel at the Cape; a Thompson /hyatt hotel. The ambiance is amazing. One of the best settings you can find. It truly is decked out. And the service 2was exceptional. First class treatment throughout. read more
Manta is a great place to bring a date. Very romantic with ocean views. We opted for the $133 chef special which allowed you to pick a dish from each section of the listed menu items. Food was delicious and not heavy. Great taste, presentation and good flavors. Service was amazing too. We had multiple people tending to us and explaining each dish as they were presented to us. It's a winner we would definitely come back and recommend to friends visiting Cabo. read more

Just wow. Not only is the service top notch and informative but you get an elevated experience with the view and scenery. Manta was a delicious and fresh dinner with thoughtful curations of seafood and Mexican x Asian flares. Highly recommend the octopus skewers - lightly flamed grilled with creamy dipping sauce, overall great texture and flavor. Starting off with the sashimi set the freshness level for the rest of the evening. We were constantly oo'ing and ah'ing over the decadence of the food. It's within the Cape Hotel so easy to make a reservation with the front desk or online. Great for large groups (6-8 ppl) or a beautiful dinner date night or celebration. read more
5 stars vibe, energy, view and service! The restaurant Manta is known for having one of the best views in Los Cabos--overlooking El Arco and the Bahia Cabo San Lucas horizon. The restaurant focuses on fresh seafood while also have Japanese,and Peruvian influences. The restaurant is located in The Cape, A Thompson Hotel, known for its infinity pool and swim-up bar, rooftop lounge and private outdoor spa cabanas. The restaurant is popular with hotel guests as well as others traveling to the Los Cabos region. Dinner items include unique options like beetroot ceviche; fried oyster burrito; fish tempura tacos; suckling pig cochinita; and octopus anticucho. One let down was the Korean fried chicken. I would skip that but otherwise a great experience! read more

Loved this place! Had dinner here Thursday while watching the sunset. The vibes/views of this place are amazing. We did the tasting menu and cocktails. I really enjoyed the maracuyá drink. The best dish imo was the grilled fish. The árbol miso is to die for. Also loved the clam, sashimi, melon, fish taco. Honestly everything was good! Service was great and I just had an awesome time. read more

Amazing food, very trendy, awesome view! Had the opportunity to delve into the astounding menu and very bougie atmosphere. Loved this place, as it is a splurge from my normal places to visit. We got a private room (party of 20) and 10+ course meal. The dishes were tasty and presentation was outstanding. Although in Mexico, the food had a Asian-Mexican twist in presentation. For example: soft bun taco, which resembled an Asian bao but with Mexican spice pork belly ( on the menu: Suckling pig cochinita, steamed bun, cilantro, habanero). Great flavor! Plates are tapas style. (Don't think Texas) Some of my favorite dishes was: the Sliced fish, orange, serrano, worm salt; Octopus anticucho, pasilla mixe, chorizo mayo; Grilled catch of the day, árbol miso; Sashimi, ají amarillo, sesame, wasabi. If your celebrating or just want a fancy place to try...I recommend giving this a go! read more

Had an amazing experience here while in Cabo. I will definitely plan to come back whenever I visit Cabo in the future. Everything we tried was delicious, the only complaint being that everything was smaller portion, but we ordered so many different dishes we were all thoroughly stuffed anyway. Service was also amazing, and the restaurant itself has an amazing ambiance, and gorgeous views of the water. Great to celebrate a special occasion. Definitely try the desert after as well, the mango sticky rice was so yummy. read more
In short, One of the best places to eat in Cabo San Lucas. Food was fantastic. No matter what you order off the menu it will be heavenly. Drinks were top notch. Great wine selection as well. Service was top notch. The views are some of the best in Cabo for sure. Definitely a memorable dinner here. If you're reading this just do it. Watch for influencers in the wild down at the beach from the balcony trying to take photos with the view haha read more
So for what you pay the quality of food is way under average and way under what is expected and therefore underwhelming. What a shame! I really wanted to like this place after convincing my partner to come here over the other fine restaurants. The wine tasted like it wasn't stored properly due to the heat that was experienced in the aftertaste. We asked to taste a few before deciding to buy a bottle. But the same heat at the end was experienced so we asked to decant The wine and keep it indoors where it was cooler. The heat went away but the taste was not great so that was a disappointment. I would recommend sticking with wine you know. Service was fast and friendly. Best part of the meal was the raw fish. Absolutely superb! Thanks! read more

Manta is located at The Cape, a Thompson hotel. It is particularly known for its Japanese and Peruvian influences and that was exactly the vibe that I got. Our server Daniel was absolutely amazing. He was so nice, knew the menu very well and overall was wonderful. Our food was quite delectable. I had the lettuce tacos which were seasoned perfectly. For dessert, my boyfriend and I shared the tres leches was to die for. A great way to start off our trip. My only regret is not having an earlier reservation to catch the sunset and views of the El Arco! read more
View: Amazing. Service: OK. Food: Not great. Not worth the hype. Food was ok for the price. What I will say is if you have dietary restrictions, they are WONDERFUL about accommodating. We went with a group to celebrate a birthday and since we were over 6 people they required us to do the pre-fix menu. Unfortunately, this did not at all live up to expectations from other people and reviewers. The meal was served family style at $139 USD / person. 16% TAX INCLUDED / 15% SERVICE CHARGE NOT INCLUDED. First: Beetroot ceviche, ginger, habanero Melon, Leche de tigre, yuzu, peppermint Lettuce, radish, avocado, sun lower oil, yuzu Second: Sashimi, ají amarillo, sesame, wasabi Shrimp, scallop, octopus aguachile Chocolata clams, Leche de tigre, ginger oil Fish tacos, miso, cabbage, flour tortillas Third: Suckling pig cochinita, steamed bun, cilantro Fourth: Grilled fish, árbol miso Roasted sweet potato, almond mole Ribeye, chile crust Fifth: Tres leches, black cherry ice cream, vanilla Steamed rice, mango sorbet, coconut milk The highlight: Sashimi, ají amarillo, sesame, wasabi Shrimp, scallop, octopus aguachile I personally think there are much better restaurants in cabo! But the sunsets here are amazing. Maybe grab a drink and go to the rooftop for a sunset instead.... read more

I will come back here again and again, I cannot say enough about this place! We did the tasting menu which says five courses, but it's more like 35. Each course is like an amuse-bouche with 3-5 different plates. Even dessert, there were three different dessert courses. I had to be rolled out of here once we were done. The resort was also beautiful, I would love to stay here next time. It's at the Thompson Cape and it's on the cliff's edge (hence cape) with a gorgeous 180 view of the ocean. Since I could not make it to Pujol in Mexico City, this held me over until 2023. Highly recommend 15/10!! read more

Delicious but not worth the price- there are better expensive options (see Acre review). We liked the aquachiles and sweet potato in mole (but it was $30 for a half a yam...) read more
