Los Tres Gallos (the Three Roosters) is arguably the best restaurant in Cabo San Lucas and presents amazingly delicious regional dishes for lunch and dinner; the mole dishes here and particularly amazing. The setting adds to its charm; tables are situated around a splendid courtyard, shaded by fruit trees growing mango and tangerines.

Maria Corona

This is an authentic, family run Mexican Restaurant which boasts recipes passed down from the owner’s grandmother, and dating back to the Mexican Revolution! We recommend that you try the panela fondue, Mayan style Conchita Pibil, tortilla soup, or the Maria Corona platter which features a chicken mole dish, and chiles rellenos which are stuffed with chorizo. The atmosphere here is captivating; the patio area is filled with colorful lights string between the trees and live music is to be found here every night.

Edith’s is somewhat of a Cabo San Lucas institution; for almost two decades it has provided Mexican cuisine in a fine-dining setting, and its food always wows. There’s an impressive wine cellar, and elegant menu full of Baja-style food as well as food from the Guerrero region of Mexico (where the owner hails from), and a sophisticated atmosphere to top it all off. The menu is stocked with fresh seafood, but the highlights are definitely the Wally Special with grilled lobster, the mesquite grilled catch of the day, and the garlic shrimp and coqueta salad.

The menu at Pancho’s is varied and includes Oaxacan style tamales wrapped in banana leaves, Sonoran style carne asada, and Puebla style chicken mole as well as plethora of other delicious dishes to satisfy your hunger.
