If you’re thinking a vacation in Los Cabos is only for spring breakers and partyers think again. Cabo can be a wonderful place to try local or Haute Mexican cuisine. In fact, a vacation in Los Cabos is the perfect place to have a relaxed and delicious gourmet holiday.
Here are my 4 favorite ways to experience the best culinary experiences in Los Cabos.
Dine with Michelin-Starred Chefs
There are restaurants throughout the area that boast menus from Top Chefs and their protegees. Local seafood and regional wines are the inspiration for culinary giants like Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Enrique Olvera. Dinner with a view goes to a new level at Esperanza Resort. The Cocina del Mar restaurant is perched above the crashing waves of the Sea of Cortez.
Reel in your own “Catch of the Day”
Make sure that you include some boat time during your vacation to Los Cabos. Whether you are staying in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo there are marinas to hire a fishing charter. Vessels are available for any size group. Once back onshore you can take your catch to a local restaurant and have it prepared your way or the chef’s specialty.
Eat Like a Local
From hyper-local taco stands to restaurants with colonial old-world charm. The taco tour in San Jose del Cabo has something for every taste. (Beware of the habanero salsa!) Cooking classes and food tours will show you some of the best local eats. Once you have visited a few spots, you’ll want to hit your favorites again and again on your vacation to Los Cabos.
Take a cooking class at an Organic Farm
Some of the most picturesque spots are in these farm-to-table restaurants. Fortunately, they also invite guests into their kitchens for one on one learning. Go home with recipes and skills to create your next fiesta. From tortilla making from scratch to spicy salsas you will be the hero at your next Cinqo de Mayo Party. 👏👏
