Cabo Wabo Cantina – LCM 38 FALL 2014

CABOWABO-1-300x200

This is not just a rock ’n’ roll bar! The local icon serves a delightful meal worthy of any upscale restau- rant in Los Cabos. Although small in size—there are only 44 seats on the upper level dining terrace and 74 seats on the patio, compared with the up-to-700-person capacity in the nightclub—the restaurant offers out- standing dishes for lunch and dinner. Start with the world-famous signa- ture Caborita, rock legend Sammy Hagar’s take on a margarita, or the I Can’t Drive 55, which was named for one of his songs and made with a blend of five fruit beverages and five white liquors. Then dig into the menu, beginning with the vampiros: grilled corn tortillas topped with refried black beans, Oaxaca cheese, and grilled beef fillet bits. For lunch, you cannot go wrong with the tortilla soup, probably the best on the planet. Still hungry? Opt for the cilantro shrimp (grilled jumbo shrimp glazed with cilantro honey) or the chipotle rib-eye. For a deli- cious dessert, choose from a choco- late-and-caramel tart, lemon tart with fresh fruit, bread pudding, and crème brûlée. Snack options include nachos, cheeseburgers, and great buffalo chicken wings served with blue cheese dressing. Kids can enjoy fish or chicken fingers and fries. Yes, families are welcome in the dining room; in fact, it’s a great spot for chil- dren’s birthday parties.
