The atmosphere was beautiful,the food was wonderful and the service for the most part was excellent.At the end of the meal ,the server had great difficulty processing my credit card on his machine.After a few minutes attempting to do it,he said the machine wasn't working correctly and he would have to get another one .He went off and when he came back,he said we would have to to move to another part of the restaurant for the machine to work.We tried this and it still didn't work.Then he said we would have to move to another part of the restaurant.The manager came to help and finally the machine worked.But,he said the card was declined.I know there was enough credit on the card.I had used it in other restaurants in the city and used it right after leaving this restaurant for an Uber .There was enough credit on the card. We finally used another card that went through,but the whole episode was a bad end to the meal .There were no apologies for the delay .I do not think the incident was handled well.It was not something that should happen at a Michelin starred restaurant.It left a bad aftertaste .

Everything is intentional and thoughtful. Attention to detail is top tier. Unique regional flavors with great outside influences.

I live in San Francisco and am a fine dining foodie - have been to several Michelin restaurants all over the world. Food and service at Cocina de Aurora are very, very good. Really enjoyed all the dishes and cocktails. On par with other amazing restaurants around the world. It is very pricey, especially considering it’s Mexico. But the quality did not disappoint. Our meal was $800 USD with tip (we drank a lot and got the 10 courses). The restaurant and ambiance are beautiful. It was our anniversary and they had a special dessert for us. I love chocolate and needed another bite, they immediately brought me more. Not sure what other reviewers were taking about service being off and flavors lacking — that was not our experience at all. We had a world class meal from start to finish.

I cannot believe this restaurant received a Michelin star. The food at a nearby resort buffet was better. Terrible service and food. Do not waste your money here. In all honesty, this restaurant has single handedly made me lose faith in Michelin ratings in general.

We were very excited with the prospect to eat in the only Los Cabos Michelin star restaurant. However, the experience was very disappointing. The food was of mediocre quality and over salted, especially the corn soup and the little piece of steak. The piece of short rib was covered in disgusting green foam looking like spit. The elderberry ice cream tasted like soap. Finally, the waiter cheated us charging our credit card in dollars instead of pesos and this way getting almost $100 more. Totally disappointing and stealing money on top of serving bad food. Michelin, take the star away please!

¡Simplemente espectacular!. Es una inmersión a los ingredientes mexicanos con maridaje de vinos mexicanos desde Valle de Guadalupe, Guanajuato y Querétaro. Los chefs, sommeliers se esmeraron en hacerlo perfecto. Vale cada centavo invertido.

My husband and I have backgrounds in the Food and Beverage industry and we have eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world. While the experience at Cocina de Autor was not at the same level of a European or American Michelin star restaurant the experience was very good and worth the trip. Javier our waiter was outstanding!! Very knowledgeable about the wines from the tasting menu and he did a wonderful job describing each dish. The whole tasting menu was creative, beautifully executed and tasty. The wine pairing were a bit of a hit or miss. Some worked perfectly with the dish, a few needed more years of bottle aging and a couple were just OK. The prices for the experience seemed high for Mexico, and were comparable to Europe and America.
