The Retro Burger Bar Our fascination with chef Tadd Chapman—see “Family of Three,” page 52, and “Top Chefs,” page 62— stems not just from his talents as a chef but from also from his constantly on display creativity that’s allowed him to have three vastly different and very popular San José del Cabo restaurants: the bistro-style Habanero’s Gastro Grill & Tequila Bar, the elegant Don Sanchez, and the playful Retro Burger Bar. For your first visit, we suggest the Lamborghini, which was named for the seasoned ground lamb that is piled high with sundried tomatoes, pesto, feta, arugula, red onion, tomato marmalade and tzaziki and served with house-cut sea salt fries and a housemade pickle. Pair any burger with oldfashioned root beer float or, before 6 p.m., some happy hour house drinks. Between meals, try the fresh popcorn with white truffle oil, fried rosemary, and cracked pepper; the cheeseburger lollipops; or the pork belly chicharrones with the hellfire sauce.
