Every time I go to Cabo, I fall more and more in love with their food and restaurant scene. These restaurants should be added to everyone’s “must” list.
Flora Farms
Flora Farms is magical. Down a dirt road around 45 minutes from downtown Cabo, it has the best atmosphere and food. They even have “Fried Chicken Tuesdays!” All of their food is grown on the property or sourced locally. The restaurant is surrounded by shops, games, and even features live music frequently. If you’re lucky enough, you can grab one of their villas on the property and stay for a night or several.
Must Try: Flora Standard Cocktail, Bloody Mary, Fennel Sausage and Mozzarella Pizza, Pork Chop, Fried Chicken, Risotto, Ice Cream from Flora’s Ice Cream Cart

Sunset Monalisa
The best view I’ve ever seen in Cabo. Each night at sunset, employees of the restaurant blow conch shells as a tradition to end the day. Not only was that cool, but the property itself is built into a cliff looking over at the famous arches. On top of all of that, the food was beautifully prepared and delicious.

I’ve only been to Hacienda Cocina y Cantina for brunch, but I’m dying to go back for dinner. It’s a very stylish yet comfortable restaurant that looks over El Médano beach. It’s part of the Hacienda Beach Club & Residences, but anyone is welcome to make a reservation.
