Los Cabos, Mexico

The Caesar salad is to die for! They make it right in front of you...a must order! The sangria is homemade, and I highly recommend it! My husband and father ordered the lobster and sea bass each time we were there. The ziti with eggplant is really good! I do not recommend the plain spaghetti (kinda bland) or the margerita pizza (not that good).

Desserts vary every night, and they don't make too many, so they go fast. The Mexican coffee is pretty good, made with a little fire show in front of you--very strong on the liquor, though. We did not have reservations either night, and they weren't busy either night.

I do not recommend this restaurant. It's at the tip of the marina and is a tourist trap. The prices are astronomical for the type of food served. Basic Mexican and seafood meals average from $22-$36. Coronas come uncapped and are $6.50 each. The salsa was pretty good, and so was the guacamole. The ceviche wasn't marinated for a long period of time to be good. I was waiting for food for over an hour and a half and did not stay for dessert.

This was hands down the best restaurant in Los Cabos as a whole. We went back to this restaurant twice while we stayed in San Jose. It's located right downtown and was incredible. The servers gave us one on one attention without crowding, and we were even serenaded by really good mariachis. Discover a hint of Tuscany, a whisper of Provence, the soul of the Mediterranean in the heart of San Jose del Cabo, where tantalizing taste in food meets a visual experience in design excellence. The Sangria is homemade and to die for, excellent wine choice! I highly recommend all of the appetizers, especially the cheese fondue and the sun-dried tomato w/ fresh parmesan cheese on pita chips. The coconut shrimp comes with an excellent coconutty dipping sauce. This restaurant was a breath of fresh air from all of the local Mexican fare. Do not forget to save room for dessert, the blackberry, white chocolate cheesecake was my favorite, but my husband ordered the orange creme brulee that was pretty good!

This restaurant was all about the atmosphere. The food was a little pricey, but worth the taste and experience you get while dining. My family had a blast requesting Spanish songs to the mariachis and singing along.

The coconut shrimp appetizer was excellent, but the crab bisque was very different than in the States, more clumpy here. I had ordered the fondue (bread and meat) and everyone else ordered the huge seafood platter, including steak and lobster. They cooked the steak, which was to die for, right in front of us, Chateaubriand style. My husband and I ordered the crepe appetizer, which again they cook right in front of you. This looked like it would taste a lot better than it did.

Other than being bombarded by Mexican kids trying to sell you whistle thingies and chiclets, the mariachis are pretty good and make sure you get a drawing done by a local artist that comes to your table. The music was great, and you're in the perfect location to people watch being on the marina. Make sure you have a reservation, or come early, as there's not a lot of seating. You'll want one outside on the patio!

This was a BLAST! Even my mother and father-in-law kept up! The 3-hour tour on the beach and through the sand dunes was so much fun, we went twice and bought the shirt! WARNING: Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, 'cause you even find sand in your underwear. Also, cover your camera with a towel, even in a backpack; it got dirty. We framed our group pictures that we took at some of the scenic spots--make sure you take one. This was everyone's favorite part of the vacation!

We used this company to charter a 40 something foot boat for a 4 hour ride...but ended up talking to the captain, and he took us out marlin fishing on the side the next day. If you use this company, ask for Fernando's boat...he gave us a great ride! He provided lunch, refreshments, beer, wine, snacks, salsa, and a bottle of champagne over the head of the first person to catch a marlin. It was an 8 hour ride that lasted 9 1/2 hours without any additional charges! We caught two marlin and ate some marlin steaks that night! Very memorable experience.
