About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Romantic
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    We enjoyed the Tulum martini, and the oysters were so fresh and delicious! The whole team made sure we were taken care of from the time we got there, until we had to leave. Pablo was an amazing server, very knowledgeable and friendly. The ambience was beautiful, the location was dreamy. 10/10 we will be back next time we are in Cabo!

    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.
