About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views

Cocina del Mar restaurant, is perched atop striking cliffs overlooking the ocean and will take you on a culinary journey through the Sea of Cortez and Cabo’s verdant farms. Enter a buzzing lantern-lit bar and lounge that invites you to linger over hand-crafted cocktails before sauntering down to dinner above a cascade of oceanfront terraces kissed by white-capped waves. An outdoor exhibition kitchen is alive with energy, a perfect spot to engage with chefs and explore bites of coastal Baja cuisine and regionally inspired cocktails beside a glowing wood fired oven.

    This was one of the best scenic restaurants I have ever been to. The view is simply amazing. We had a 7pm reservation which gave us a small bit of a sunset view before it got completely dark. The food was also really good. I ordered the grilled oyster appetizer and the shrimp entree. My best friend ordered the steak, which she also enjoyed. The cocktail was amazing as well. Since it’s an outdoor restaurant, it was a bit chili. Well they even offered blankets! I loved everything about this place and would love to come back again.

    Breathtaking. The food, service, and atmosphere were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. If you’re on the fence, book the reservation.

    Easily the BEST restaurant I’ve ever been to! The views, ambience, food and service were top notch! We didn’t have one bad thing there! The Tulum drink was phenomenal! My husband got the lobster because I’m not a seafood girl but by the time he was finished, I finished it off for him. It was so good! I got the beef filet with the peppers and mashed potatoes. We finished it off with the tres letche cake and it did not disappoint!! My husband got the lava cake. We cannot wait to go back!

    From the arrival to the resort to the hospitality of our waiter and most important the quality of our food—the experience was AMAZING! Nothing tops it and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making my birthday dinner one to remember. Armando, you are the best waiter!

    Everything was delicious and the waves crashing and sunset were perfect. We had the seafood fondue, bluefin tuna crudo, and the lobster. The absolute best lobster we’ve had. Ended with pistachio soufflé. Incredible anniversary dinner. They even brought out a little sparkler and extra dessert to celebrate.
