Things To Do
ACRE
Buttery cheddar biscuits set the tone for a comfort-food feast at this organic farm outside San Jose del Cabo. Expect playful riffs on classics—a whitefish flaked with potato chips is like a tuna casserole, elevated; an espresso mug of tomato soup with a grilled cheese crouton is a nod to childhood, and a whole roasted chicken served with steamed buns is a DIY bao platter. The best part? Whatever food the restaurant doesn’t grow onsite it sources from local vendors. Expect the farm’s own facilities to expand in the coming years, too. The two Vancouver expats who opened the restaurant are in phase one of developing the sustainable resort, which will include an event space, rooms for guests, and a cluster of treehouses, all available for rent.
Flora Farms
This 10-acre organic farm resort outside San Jose del Cabo dedicates its output to local consumption. You’ll find the bounty on the menu at three on-site eateries—Flora’s Field Kitchen, Farm Bar, and Flora Grocery—but the Mediterranean-themed Field Kitchen is the main event. Feast on Neopolitan pizzas, singed in a wood-burning oven (available for dinner and Sunday brunch); cauliflower “steak,” topped with brown butter sauce; and hay cooked rabbit, served with lemon cauliflower puree and charred vegetables. Cocktails draw inspiration from local surrounds, too, with drinks like the Farmarita—a local spin on the margarita, made with heirloom carrot juice—and Flora’s Old-Fashioned, Maker’s Mark mixed with farm-made sorghum bitters.
El Farallon
This is by far the MOST beautiful place to eat in CABO! A top a bluff in the Capella Pedregal hotel, El Farallon provides one of the most breathtaking vantage points from which to have a meal in Cabo San Lucas. Chef Yvan Mucharraz presents a seafood-heavy menu with a "fresh fish market" displaying the catch of the day. Customize your dish from an array of fish and meats—from yellowtail, parrot fish, spiny lobster, rib-eye steak, and sea bass to the irresistible local chocolate clams. All dishes come with a tasting of the day's three appetizers, which can include anything from tuna ceviche to crab-and-chipotle soup, as well as two sides that range from asparagus to grilled corn to cilantro-infused rice. Fish and meats are simply prepared on a flat grill with fine herbs and a drop of butter. They're so well executed that you may forego the accompanying sauces. It's challenging, but save room for desserts like Mexican doughnuts, while you take in the view!
