Bar Esquina has been Los Cabos’ go-to for a grown-up good time, offering exceptional food, killer cocktails, an extensive wine list, and a vibrant atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors from across Baja Sur.

Nightly entertainment includes live music, seven evenings a week, and Chef Andres Bracamontes’ open kitchen. Chef Andres’ carefully crafted menu, much-loved by Esquina’s many regulars, is influenced by the Mediterranean, California, and his home state of Guadalajara — and emphasizes good food, shared with good friends.

We always enjoy Solomon's Landing when we come to Cabo. It's our favorite. Good variety of food: Mexican, Italian, Sushi, seafood, salads. I love their tortilla soup! And there are great views of the marina, passersby, entrrtainers. I would like maybe one or two more vegetarian entrees, otherwise it's great. Service is excellent. We keep coming back.

Outpost (aka O.P.) patrons are submerged into a foodie paradise… a one-of-a-kind and modern cuisine and craft-cocktail experience; surrounded by illuminated organic gardens (bursting with microgreens harvested daily for O.P. menu items), music, intelligent lighting, and rustic regional architecture, making Outpost the talk of Los Cabos, Mexico.

Everything was very nice. I was with some first timers…. They said they enjoyed everything. I had the chicken burger, and they had the fried pork chops. Mashed potatoes were little salty but the server changed them right away, so all was well. Nice local experience ❤️
