    If youre looking for the feel and look of the original Tropicana, sadly the past is gone. The entire complex has been beautifully renovated, and I hope they are successful. If you want to stay in town and enjoy peace and quiet, yet be able to walk out to the historic center and art district, you can’t go wrong. Gone is the Cubano bands and bar with overlooking balcony, and in its place is a beautiful bar with tables for drinks and dinner. The sidewalk dining area has the same feel, but I do agree, the menu is limited. That being said, it was the best “catch of the day” dinner I have ever had. The sea bass was cooked to perfection in a mango purée and veggies. The staff was very friendly, and we dined with live music outside. I did not feel as though the prices were any higher than most of the restaurants you now find in Los Cabos. After 18 years of dining and staying at the Tropicana, it was hard to see the change, but I will go back.

    We typically go to Seared at Palmilla for steak. This trip we came here as a recommendation. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Seared. The steak here is AMAZING. The filet was cooked perfectly both times (we’ve already been here twice in three days…) - for reference I eat my steak medium rare. The crabcakes to start are delicious. As is the clam chowder. The sides creamed spinach and asparagus are absolutely delicious. The ambience here in their beautifully lit garden with live music (one night the mariachi band did an incredible rendition of Hotel California and Black Magic Woman from Santana. Incredible. Tonight is a guitarist/singer playing acoustic who is wonderful and the perfect amount of background music with a great combination of English and Spanish songs that you easily know. Overall just the perfect dining experience!!
