Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Cabo San Lucas

Torote was a delightful discovery. After only 2 years in business, this restaurant immediately became one of our favorites in Cabo. There are fantastic views, excellent food, creative drinks, and a pleasant ambiance. The restaurant boasts an innovative menu with options for everyone's tastes and preferences. The portions are ample, and we carried home leftovers to enjoy the next day. Sharing is recommended.

Hands down, my favorite Cabo restaurant. This visit was just for coffee and their delightful churros served with caramel, chocolate sauces and homemade vanilla ice cream. Yummy. Friend had at table presentation of Mexican coffee containing alcohol and I had a tiny decaf americano. Asked for refill and got charged double which ended up more than the fancy coffee. Oh well, still enjoyed the lighted tree area with cozy heaters. Service impeccable as always.

Very expensive... choice of 3 course dinner for $115 per person, 5 course for $153 per person, and 7 course for $175 (ish). Choice of 2 items for each course. We had 3 scallops each, which were good but got cold quickly. 2nd course was truffle fettuccine or wagyu beef ravioli (3). Fettuccine was the best, and the same comment about eating quickly before it gets cold. The 3rd course was fish. We had sea bass with lobster sauce. It was very good. The 4th course was meat (BTW, there was a vegetarian menu from which you could choose to replace any course). We both had fillets, and my was good because I avoided the sauce (no clue what it was), my partner hated hers because she got the sauce all over it. Dessert was the final course. We had tiramisu. It should have been called disassembled tiramisu. 4 coffee-soaked lady fingers, then mascarpone, then chocolate powder. The worst we've ever had. The house specialty drinks were $23 and up. We each had one, very good. We got a glass of wine each for $21, reasonable. We also had the smallest Grey Goose matinis I've ever had (maybe 1.5 oz?) for $23 each. Our tab with 20% tip came to $450. The sunset was SPECTACULAR, but we I'll never go back to Sunset Monalisa.

Beautiful place with a view of the ocean. Luxurious atmosphere and attentive service. Delicious food too.
