There’s no divorcing Cabo San Lucas from Mango Deck … and why would you want to? This beachfront restaurant, bar, and beach club is the heart and soul of Cabo: wild, fun, festive, delicious. Whatever you’re in the mood for, Mango Deck has it: from fresh seafood and sushi to traditional Mexican dishes and grilled specialties. Lupe’s Mesquite Grill churns out incredible creations like the delicious barbecued baby back ribs, which are made with Lupe’s secret sauce. I love to come here for breakfast.
The Cabo San Lucas Bay comes to life every morning with pangas, yachts, and kayaks, and Médano Beach is a sea of lounge chairs and colorful umbrellas. This is the perfect place to start your day. Stop in for Sunday’s all-you-can-eat buffet brunch, or drop in daily for hearty fare like steak and eggs and the renowned Mexican hangover cure: chilaquiles.
Come New Year’s Eve, the restaurant transforms into an elegant celebration, complete with fireworks and fine dining. In late winter, Mango Deck holds the wildest Super Bowl party in town. And, of course, every spring, Mango Deck becomes the second home of spring breakers from across the globe. Wild contests, flowing drinks, and a nonstop party atmosphere make Mango Deck a must-visit.
