This is a hidden gem. The tacos will be the yummiest & cheapest ever. My favorite is Carne Asada but they are ALL great. Don't forget your camera as Gordo sings The Beatles during your meal.

If you're a pasta lover, this is the place! Enjoy the lunch speciaI. The chef's trained in Italy so he knows Italian cuisine. It's small so don't bring a large group or service will be compromised.

If Diners Drive-Ins & Dives likes it, then I'm in. Don't let the highway location steer you away. Try the grilled veggies and the stuffed potato. The scallop taco is pretty good, too. Cheap!

This restaurant is within a residential development that has the best view of the Sea of Cortez in all of Cabo. Hard to find but worth the hunt. The food is wonderful here and a very romantic spot.

This is an explosion of Italian food! The atmosphere is fun...where they want to legalize Marinera (play on words only). Reservations are a must. Expect HUGE portions. A bit on the expensive side.

Owned by the same group as Puerta Vieja so they have mostly the same menu. The seafood combo plate with grilled Ahi tuna etc is perfect for 2. The deck is cool around the pool or further out w/a view.
