For those who have been waiting for a really good Chinese restaurant in the Los Cabos area, your fortune cookie wishes have been granted. Chin’s has all the ingredients for outstanding Chinese food: beautiful decor, reasonable prices, great service, and a chef who has traveled the Far East to hone his culinary skills in traditional recipes and authentic ingredients and flavors. Starters that awaken the palate include chicken lettuce wraps or wonton with crab, shrimp, and chicken served with a variety of sauces such as hot mustard, sweet-and-sour and chile paste or chile oil. The generously portioned main entrées are nothing short of a testimony to chef Paul Zamudio’s passion for Asian cuisine. Traditional favorites such as honey walnut shrimp (flash fried and cooked to perfection), sweet-and-sour pork, and orange chicken are offered along with more exotic dishes, like traditional Beijing-style Peking duck, which requires 24-hour notice. Each selection is cooked to order with the freshest ingredients. Originally from Las Vegas, Chin’s Los Cabos showcases decades of culinary virtuosity in a wide variety of time-honored favorites from traditional recipes of Canton to hot spicy Szechwan dishes. Rehearsal dinners, corporate events, birthdays, and other special occasions are welcome. Enjoy indoor service or alfresco dining overlooking the Sea of Cortés. Takeout service available. Shoppes at Palmilla, km 27.5 on the Tourist Corridor, San Jose del Cabo, (624) 144-6060, www.chinscabo.com. Daily 1:30 p.m.–10:30 p.m. MasterCard and Visa accepted. $–$$$ S.A.B.
