Los Cabos is a special destination known for its natural beauty, terrific beaches and endless watersports, including snorkeling, scuba diving, sports fishing and whale watching. You can also find an abundance of luxurious accommodations and fun nightlife. It is also home to some terrific and innovative dining experiences. Below are three of my favorites.
Inspired , award-winning bites Acre
Acre
This 2025 Green Michelin star winner is the ideal place to spend an evening (or a whole day). The food is the star, but the atmosphere is also pretty amazing. Guests are welcomed by a jungle-like pathway, surrounded by flowering plants and a collection of treehouses. Dinner is served under lit lanterns and an expansive starry sky; lunch is also alfresco, sheltered by the towering jungle palms.
Communal dining is recommended Acre
At the heart of the Acre Resort, which also includes accommodations, is a working farm that supplies the kitchen with more than 60 organic items. Mango and citrus trees tower over rows upon rows of tomatoes, peppers, root vegetables and herbs. Meat and seafood arrive fresh daily from nearby suppliers. The emphasis is on sustainability and although these locally produced items need little help to shine, the culinary team, led by Chef David Fajardo, create something wonderful. Some recent menu highlights include: tuna crudo with mango and avocado, rib-eye tacos with pickled onions, an heirloom tomato salad with goat cheese and basil and miso fish with black rice and bok choi.
Farm-to-table dining with a view Monte Cardon
Monte Cardon
For the ultimate dinner with a view, take a short drive to the countryside outside of Los Cabos to Monte Cardon. The property and amazing team will welcome you with a homemade beverage, and if you time it correctly, a spectacular sunset. The food at Monte Cardon highlights daily harvests from local farms and the Sea of Cortez and emphasizes sustainability; the restaurant is committed to only using ingredients that are found within 12 miles of the property. The menu incorporates seasonal flavors, a creative spirit and traditional Mexican cuisine with a Mediterranean flair. This is farm-to-table cooking at its best.
Private dining events are also available Monte Cardon
The local ingredients are transformed into magical dishes by chef/proprietor Ubaldo Martínez whose open-kitchen uses rustic techniques such as firewood ovens and grills. The highlight is the seasonal, six-course Chef's Table menu. Each course is deliciously complex and beautifully presented. Recently, the menu featured mesquite grilled yellowtail served over green mole, blue shrimp carpaccio stuffed with house-made burrata and a pear tart drizzled with mint caramel. And an extensive wine and cocktail list is also available.
Sushi plus the Pacific Nobu
Nobu
Nobu Los Cabos, located in the Nobu hotel, is inspired by the innovative flavors created by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Of course, you can find what have become Nobu classics, such as black cod miso, rock shrimp tempura, and yellowtail sashimi. However, this Cabo outpost also takes advantage of its unique location. Your meal is served in a sleek dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows where you can watch the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Open-air dining is also available on the two-level oceanside patio for an up close sunset view.
Nobu classics Nobu
In addition to some of the best sushi I have ever had, a large selection of Japanese wagyu, and some excellent salads, Nobu Los Cabos also infuses its Japanese menu with Mexican elements. You can also indulge in a short rib, king crab or lobster taco, or some shishito peppers. And in addition to an assortment of mochi, there is tres leche cake with caramel ginger for dessert. The 'Mia Margarita' is a favorite and the Mezcalina features Siete Misterios Mezcal.
