Mi Casa Restaurant & Cantina

  • September 3, 2006
  • Rated 5 of 5 by rickhowe from Darlington, Maryland
Our favorite restaurant in Cabo. We went twice in only 4 nights! With our many trips to Mexico, this was some of the finest local cuisine we have tasted.

The menu of Mexican specialties is all you need to see. I generally don't order a Mole. I know it's the greatest Mexican dish in the world (!!!!), but I usually find the flavor so deep as to almost be suffocating.

But the "Manchamanteles" sounded great and tasted even better—Mole, pork, chicken and fruit (!!!!!). It was lighter than most moles I've had, but no less flavorful (if that makes any sense).

My wife got an astonishing fresh Sea Bass one night, and a whole local lobster the second night (yes, we went twice!). On the second visit, I ordered an old stand-by that usually demonstrates the skill of the chef - Steak Tampiquena (skirt steak with Mexican trimmings). Also delicious!

Strolling mariachi's plus a sketch artists, and VERY eclectic furnishings make Mi Case the place YOU MUST TRY in Cabo San Lucas.

Oh, here's the Mexican speciality section of their menu:

El Manchamanteles de Morelia—Famous mole of chile guajillo & chile ancho with chicken & pork and lots fruit. Very tasty!

El Mole Poblano - Masterpiece of Mexican cuisine! Festful dish of chicken in a rich dark mole sauce of peppers, seed 7 spices ( approx. 35 ingredients) A feast for your palate!

El Chile en Nogada -A specialty dish to celebrate independence day. Poblano pepper stuffed with sauteed meats, served with a fresh walnut cream sauce. One Mexico's finest

La Cochinita Pibil -Famous dish from Yucatan. Shredded pork oven roasted in achiote served with spicy marinated red onions, called (Xnipec).

Las Carnitas de Michoacan -Succulent oven roasted pork, served with special beans, guacamole, cilantro, & onions

Los Tamales Bandera - Steamed tamales in colors of the flag.. Red: Filled with chicken in mole, green: shredded pork with tomatillo sauce; white: cheese & poblano strips

The atmosphere was authentic Mexican. Good service and great food. I had grilled red snapper, while my daughter had chicken tacos. Don't forget the flan for dessert!

The best restaurant in Cabo. We went twice in one week. The best steak I ever had. It is a must while in Cabo. Outdoors not air-conditioned.

We asked the bellhop at our hotel where the best Mexican restaurant in Cabo was. He put us in a cab and told the driver "Mi Casa." I was a little wary since I am a vegeterian and normally do not like spicy Mexican foods. Well, upon walking into Mi Casa, my eyes lit up.

There are no restaurants like it in America. It was absolutely breathtaking. You walk through the inside to the back, which is half open and half under a canopy. There are beautiful trees and decorations everywhere. I could hardly concentrate on my menu or my company since I was surveying the ambience so intently.

The food was also EXCELLENT. I loved everything I had and do did everyone else I was eating with. Some people were dressed very casually and some were more dressed-up. Both groups felt comfortable. This is a great place to go with a group or for a romantic dinner for two. The margaritas are humongous and yummy! Like all restaurants in Cabo, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Mi Casa far exceeded my expectations!

WOW! An incredible orgy of flavors. Everything we samples excited our taste buds . . . from sublime to over the top hot. Eclectic decor and a boisterous crowd made for a FUN evening. This spot goes on our "Must Return" list.
